Yuga’s Art Gallery: Sorrowful beauty

A Link to the Past has one of the more atmospheric openings in the Zelda series. From the moment Link awakens, it’s clear that trouble is brewing.

Bombers’ Notebook: Bully

The land of Hyrule is no stranger to eccentric characters, and the denizens of A Link to the Past certainly live up to that expectation. With the inclusion of the Dark World, practically every corner of the map has some version of freaky little guy you can get to know. Thanks to it’s magic, the…
