Nintendo has just announced the SNES Classic Edition

It seemed inevitable after the insanely successful [and regrettably short-lived] launch of the NES Classic Edition, but for a while we had only rumors that Nintendo would be launching an SNES successor to the mini “plug-and-play” styled console. Now, it’s official. In a surprise announcement minutes ago the rumors were put to rest with the…

Music Monday: Light World Dungeon

Recently, I have been learning to become a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons, and one of the things that help me most when I’m trying to think of ideas is music — more specifically, Zelda music. I’ve been listening to a lot of the dungeon themes from The Legend of Zelda to get my mindset…

Throwback Thursday: The way of the Hero

No universe was…

Throwback Thursday: Adding a new dimension

From a gaming standpoint, I lived 2012/13 in a strange limbo between trepidation and unadulterated excitement. I’ve long been an adversary of ‘the remake’, so it was a strange feeling hearing that Nintendo would be releasing what, on the surface, appeared to be a remake of my favourite Zelda of all time, A Link to the…

Fanart Friday: A link to my past

This week’s Fanart Friday is one that I hold very close to my Heart Containers, so much so that I actually have a print of this very piece hanging in my lounge. “Link to the Past Final HD” by DeviantArt’s Billysan291 is a delicious rendering of Link squaring up against Ganon, showcasing the final boss battle…
