Death Mountain is a sacred and revered place to the Gorons and all other races living in Hyrule. It is also imposing, with its volcanic emissions and its towering heights a constant reminder to everyone of how small they truly are. The mountain stands immovable and eternal. It is like a monument that, by its…
As Link climbs out of the water into the Catfish’s Maw, he reflects on the previous dungeons he’s explored. Every crypt has thrown something new and dangerous at him. Monsters have lurked in every room. What would this monstrous stone fish have planned for Link within its dark and watery confines? Link’s first steps into…
They say art can be anything, but I prefer when art is something remarkable, which is why I’m glad I was able to review this beautiful hand-drawn game guide for the original The Legend of Zelda game. Phil Summers, the creator of the Hand-Drawn Game Guides, specializes in recapturing the magic from the days of…
After staring at this picture for way more time than what anyone could consider to be normal, I can confirm that I’m unable to find anything I dislike about it. My favorite game series is The Legend of Zelda, and my favorite anime (yes, I said anime) is Avatar. Was there really any chance that…
The Great Deku Tree had been watching over the Kokiri Forest long before Link began his quest to save Hyrule. Possibly the oldest living being in Hyrule, the Great Deku Tree was a wise and caring giant whose only desire was to see the Kokiri, whom he saw as his children, prosper and live peaceful…
Nestled within the Lanayru Region’s frigid mountain range rests one of Hyrule’s greatest peaks. Mount Lanayru is seemingly sacred to the region and stands as an immovable monument to the ancient land of Hyrule. Home to many secrets and many dangers, it takes true heroism to climb its icy and sacred heights. Any expedition to…
Snowpeak Ruins is my favorite dungeon in Twilight Princess, and its boss, Blizzeta, is my third-favorite boss in the game. It should come as no surprise, then, that her battle theme is one of my favorite tracks as well. Well, to be more precise, I love the theme’s second phase. It gives me a chill…
A consistent enemy in the Zelda series, the Like Like has a long-standing tradition of creating problems for Link by attempting to swallow him to steal his belongings. This trait has made them unique when compared to other monsters of Hyrule, though in a way that has generated groans from players instead of praise. As…
At the end of Windfall Island’s main path, at the highest point of the island, Link finds a number of interesting homes and businesses, but it’s the impressive and almost-monumental windmill that draws his attention. This town is full of life, surely this windmill is the centerpiece of the excitement, right? Link’s eagerness fades quickly…
When you think about it, this blend of the Links and the Beatles makes sense. Both were groups of musicians whose songs seemed almost magical, they both became incredibly famous across the world, and all the guys wanted to be them and all the girls wanted to be with them. The only difference is, could…
Having survived the searing heat while trekking up Death Mountain’s trail to Goron City, Link finds that his reward is the pleasure of now needing to survive the even more unbearable heat of the lava-laden Abandoned North Mine. Link’s time in the Eldin Region has been brief, but the area’s fiery goal of testing his…
The beasts, the creatures of the Twilight, had descended upon Zora’s Domain with a fury and hatred the Zora people had never seen before. They captured most of the Zoras, forced them into the queen’s royal chamber, the most sacred area in their kingdom, and made them watch as they cast the land into Twilight…
On May 1, 2020, the organizers of EVO announced via Twitter that this year’s EVO tournament will be canceled due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. EVO was to take place from July 21 to August 2. EVO is the largest annual video game tournament in the world, with many of the most popular fighting…
“Zelda? That’s the guy in the green hat and skirt, right?” This is the joke that all The Legend of Zelda fans have heard, hated, and repeated throughout the years. The games we love are all part of The Legend of Zelda series — every game’s title tells us as much — but the main…
As we reported earlier in the month, a LEGO, Nintendo, and Legend of Zelda enthusiast submitted a concept on the LEGO IDEAS website for a set based on the Hyrule Castle featured in Breath of the Wild. At the time, the project had reached over 5,000 supporters, but today, April 30, it has reached the…
