What does the name Hylia mean to you? Depending on which Legend of Zelda games you’ve played, it may not mean much, aside from being a map location or a vague reference to a long-departed goddess. In many games, it is far more common to hear the stories of the Goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore.…
Terms like “ray tracing” are all the rage these days among video game tech enthusiasts, and not for no reason. Remakes of older titles, like Bluepoint’s excellent Demon’s Souls, tap into every fiber of modern technological improvements to provide players with jaw-dropping visuals in every nook and cranny. With Breath of the Wild now over…
We’re back with our first episode since this year’s E3, and we’ve dedicated a significant portion of it to dissecting Nintendo’s E3 Direct and all the juicy stuff we saw! I know it’s been a hot minute since then, but some of us are still riding high from that hour or so, so please suck…
So many magnificent natural wonders grace the landscape of the fantastic planet we have the privilege of inhabiting, but very few can match the sheer raw splendor of a towering mountain.

Move over John Wick, Link is the new big-screen action star in YouTuber Peco’s new stunning combat montage. This series of action-packed clips might just contain some of the most impressive and cinematic combat possible within Breath of The Wild.

As Zelda fans, many of us have heard about “challenge runs” of one variety or another. Some folks strive to beat a particular installment without ever gaining additional hearts. Others refuse to take damage across an entire run. Heck, just using the word “run” to denote playing a video game immediately conjures up mental images…
