“Travel back to 1992…” could be a way to describe this video series. A group of gamers have decided to dedicate their lunchtimes to playing one of the most popular games in Zelda history, A Link to the Past. Hit the jump to watch the video!
Retronauts, a group of writers from 1UP have recently written an article about the A Link to the Past discussing they feel the game is truly better than all its sequels. The article itself goes on about the change from 2D games to 3D games and talk about how the game is better than all its…
The oft-maligned (with good reason) Phillips CD-i Zelda games are a bad dream Nintendo would like to forget. What was originally meant to be an agreement between Nintendo and Phillips to co-develop a CD-ROM enhancement for the Super Nintendo morphed instead into an agreement to license out some specific Nintendo characters, Link and Zelda being two.…

A recently translated interview has surfaced revealing that Shigeru Miyamoto had originally intended to give “Zelda 3,” ultimately called A Link to the Past, a party-based combat system, similar to that of the Dragon Quest series made by…
The year 2001 gave us both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons and the year 2003 gave us The Wind Waker. At a glance, the events of the year 2002 don’t appear worth mentioning. The highlight of 2002 is a remake that was bundled with a multiplayer game that many fans weren’t able to…
So Lysia emails me a couple weeks back and asks if I could write an article for this ‘History of Zelda’ countdown. Obviously I said yes, since you’re reading it right now. It sounded like a neat idea and let’s be honest, what else were fans going to do a month before Skyward Sword, other…
1992 was what I’d call one of those golden years in Zelda’s history. The glory from the NES era was yet to fade and despite the years that had passed since the release of Zelda II, non-game material such as merchandise and the cartoon series kept Zelda and Nintendo very much in the spotlight. The…
I’ve seen my share of games across the ages. My first gaming experience was back around 1985 when my parents purchased our very first computer, the Macintosh 512K. And from that moment, I was hooked. I then quickly progressed to the Atari 2600, the Apple IIe, the NES, and eventually to a computer where you…
There are many different villains in the Zelda series; they’re crazy, sane, insane, and emotional; they can do just about anything. They’re different and alike, and they all seem to have one goal: getting in Link’s way. Yep, that’s just about it with their goal; destroy Hyrule/Termina or just plain capture Zelda—it always impedes Link’s…
Last month, I found out about the guys from Dorkly. They are the guys who take old school games and create new situations in game that weren’t there before. For example, there was one from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 where Robotnik’s wheel car at the end of Emerald Hill Zone breaks down and he gets…

In an interview with Edge Magazine yesterday, Zelda series creator and general producer Shigeru Miyamoto indicated that he has another Zelda 3DS remake up his sleeve. Or at least he intends on one. “A Link to the Past. Do you remember Xevious? It’s two-layered and I really wanted to create that at the time. So…
