Gibdos are humanoid, mummified creatures that are often found in dungeons and other dark, hazardous, low-light locations. They seem to exist for the sole purpose of patrolling whatever crypt they wander through, attacking and throttling any and all victims they find. The first appearance of the Gibdo was in The Legend of Zelda for the…
This video was released months ago, but I still love it like it was new. Maybe it hasn’t been such a good idea to re-watch this as often as I have, though. I don’t have time to simultaneously play Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, and every time the video ends, that’s all…
I met a number of wonderful characters during my time playing The Wind Waker. Tetra with her sass that tried to cover up all her sweet, the little plush of adorable that was Link’s sister, the wrinkled plush of adorable that was Link’s grandmother, and the ever-noble Quill were a number of characters that made…
I can’t say I ever expected to watch as Linkle and Link team up save Hyrule from a not-so-merry Christmas, but here I am. The day starts off as any typical Christmas would — if Christmas was celebrated in Hyrule. Linkle, asleep in her home, awakes with excitement and childlike fervor to inspect the bounty…
The Great Sea is home to many exciting and dangerous destinations that Link must visit during his quest to save the world, but occasionally he stumbles upon a quaint location that offers a much-needed respite from his duties. Link’s still a kid, after all, so it’s important to make time for fun. In one of…
Haunting and dreary, the Earth Temple is a sacred place meant for offering prayers to the gods, but it is also clearly meant to serve some other, disturbing purpose. The entire labyrinth is similar in design to many tombs and dungeons. Why? Is this temple also a prison of some sort? Or is it a…
As Link, his mentor Alfonzo, and Zelda make haste to the Tower of Spirits, their journey cut short by the disappearance of tracks and the appearance of the Demon Train, the treacherous Chancellor Cole, and the deadly looking warrior known as Byrne. Though Alfonzo and even Link valiantly attempt to stop them, they are unable…
Many gameplay and story elements introduced in A Link to the Past have returned in various games throughout the years. One such element is the use of a musical and magical instrument to quickly travel across Hyrule. In A Link to the Past, this ability was made possible by the flute. The flute’s usefulness is…
They wanted to write an article about my life, but no one besides me can truly tell my story the right way. That’s right, I’m Malo, and I’m here to tell you about how Link wasn’t the only hero in Hyrule. He may have saved the people from Ganondorf, but I saved the people from…
Given all of the things I could be doing out of compulsion, I don’t think my game collection is really all that big. Call it an obsession if you must. I keep all my games, but I never buy any without intending to (eventually) play them, if that helps to make it sound reasonable in…
Link certainly has a rough go of things during his adventure: Being brought back from the brink of death, weakened and with none of his gear; losing his memory and not fully understanding his importance to the world; and encountering deadly beast after deadly beast, all of which are intent on killing him. It is…
Many of the various and fascinating races in The Legend of Zelda have imposing presences about them that demand respect, but few match the Gorons in terms of true intimidation. They are proud, strong, and resilient beings who stand by their convictions and never back down from any obstacle. The Gorons first appeared in Ocarina…
There’s something refreshing about listening to music that is able to leave you completely exhausted. Heavy metal is a genre perfectly suited for this. It gets you pumped and leaves you tired yet fulfilled. It’s the super-spicy hot wings of music. So, when you take that energy and slap it over the beloved and mesmerizing…
As he navigates through the underbrush, narrow passages, and dense trees, Link begins to realize that there is more to the Minish Woods than what he first assumes. The beams of light that break through the gaps between the evergreens do little to help reveal any secrets however, so Link’s only option is to randomly…
For those of you who don’t know, today, the day before Halloween, is known as Mischief Night, and is a day typically associated with the pranks and trouble-making that take place during this season. That’s why it felt right to talk about the mischief Ganon creates with the Blood Moon. You probably know what I’m…
