I was always that kid who had an extreme passion for video games and other geek culture, but would always get super shy and never mention it in public. I was always afraid that people would make fun of me, and yet I still always engrossed myself in it. I’d always be the one to…
When first treading through this dungeon, it was the bane of my in-game existence. Now, as an experienced player, it is one of my favorite dungeons featured in The Wind Waker. Regardless of what my opinion was or now is, every time I enter this tower I am in complete awe of the next challenge…
There’s really not much to complain about in Breath of the Wild, though everyone has their little nitpicks of what could have been done better. There’s the rain and the 900 tedious Korok seeds, but my personal silly quibble is with the silent menu screen. For years we were serenaded on the select screen with…
Inspiration comes from all over, and it’s no surprise that many television creators have been inspired by The Legend of Zelda.
“Zelda’s Lullaby” has always been my favorite Zelda song. Not only is its melody sweet and memorable, but it connects each game in a unique way. From A Link to the Past onwards, the theme for Princess Zelda has evolved along with each incarnation of the character, reflecting the game it portrays and the individual…
Though I still haven’t beaten it, the classic Legend of Zelda always holds a near and dear spot in my heart. It’s not because I grew up with it or think of it as my favorite Zelda game (though it is up there on my list), but because the style of the game intrigued me…
New York Comic-Con is my favorite time of year, and this year (2018) has been exceptionally fantastic for me. From a wonderful meet-and-greet with Grey Delisle to asking my first question at a panel, many moments highlighted my trip into the city this year, but one moment in particular made my heart sing. I got…
In my middle and high school years, I played a ton of Smash Bros. Ever since Brawl came out, my two friends who I’d visit every week would all play together, and at one point or another, they got good. Like, really good. It had turned out that they had started playing competitively, and if I…
As we celebrate 20 years of Ocarina of Time, another game is celebrating a milestone as well. Granted it’s only at its fifth year, but an anniversary is an anniversary nevertheless. Of course, I am referring to A Link Between Worlds. Now I know the consensus on A Link Between Worlds is generally that it’s…
There are a lot of things that Ocarina of Time did right, and one of those things is the end credits. I feel like it goes rather unappreciated. People rave on and on about this game and look over such a nice touch to finish off this wonderful installment. This is why Nintendo doesn’t do…
When Super Smash Bros. Brawl was announced way back when, I followed every new update that they put on the official site, the Smash Dojo. Every day, first thing in the morning, I would go to my computer and check out what new features would be included in this latest installment of Smash. Ocarina of…
Sheik has always been one of my favorite characters in Ocarina of Time. Aside from the fact of his true identity, the mystery and charm that surrounded this character always had me intrigued. It often made me wonder of how long Zelda assumed this alter ego and how “in character” she became. I like to…
When we Zelda fans yearn for something dark, cryptic, and shrouded in mystery, we often turn to Majora’s Mask, and rightfully so. This game contains some of the eeriest content we’ve seen from this beloved franchise, and one of the most haunting elements of this game is the countdown to Termina’s demise. Medli’s Melodies is…
The Zoras were always an incredibly fascinating race in my opinion, and one of my favorite renditions of this tribe of fish folk is their Twilight Princess appearance. I always found their designs to be beautiful, especially that of Queen Rutela’s, but these designs were not the only ones to be created for this game.…
In most Zelda games, Link has his own house, but there’s usually never much reason to visit it once you’ve discovered the vast world of Hyrule and all of its wonders. However, A Link Between Worlds does something a little bit different that pulls you back home. At first, Link’s house isn’t much to marvel at,…
