Some of the most breathtaking sites in Breath of the Wild are its mountains. With the climbing mechanic being such a major component of the game, it is only natural that the mountains are the pinnacles of Hyrule’s scenic majesty. Between epic fights, incredible danger, and even the occasional spirit, these locations hold great importance…
Ah, Kakariko Village. Such a lovely, prosperous little burg that hearkens back to the simpler days of small-town living, when communities worked together to carve out livelihoods in the isolated pockets of earth they called their own. In a kingdom like Hyrule that is constantly being besieged by wicked and dangerous creatures, Kakariko Village is…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a game that creates a very immersive experience for the player. The map is expansive, the scenery is breathtaking, the story is compelling, and the quests, sidequests, and Shrines seem countless while playing. Players can easily put in hundreds of hours while questing through the game,…

Lynels are without a doubt one of the toughest enemies a player can encounter within any Legend of Zelda game, which is why The Master Trials concept art of Link standing in front of the Golden Lynel is so moving and powerful. Seeing someone ready to fight a creature so terrifying and evil sparks inspiration…
Mamma mia! In this new terrifying glitch Link is serving up more spaghetti than even our good friend Mario could handle!

A new bonus installment of Zelda Universe’s own Breath of the Wild Complete Story Dub has been released! This one, entitled “Tarrey Town,” is primarily focused on assisting Hudson in the building of a village from the ground up.

Forget Link, Zelda, or (gasp) even Kass — the real star of Breath of the Wild is the wild. I don’t know if any game I’ve ever played has made me feel so authentically as if I’m just free to explore nature. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that if…
It was in Breath of the Wild that The Legend of Zelda fans were first introduced to the Divine Beasts: the four gargantuan Calamity-fighting contraptions that functioned as the game’s main dungeons. Built as protectors against Calamity Ganon, the machines turned into monsters after Ganon infiltrated them with four element-based incarnations of himself. It was…
Heroes inspire us all, whether they come from real life or fiction. Who doesn’t love a great underdog story? Our beloved Link is the epitome of what it means to be a hero. But sometimes, even Link needs extra help. It’s nice to know when someone has your back. After all, it’s dangerous to go…
One of the beautiful things about Breath of the Wild is that everyone plays it differently. Some players only care about the story objectives while others seek out every Ancient Shrine and Korok. I was a bit of a completionist. During the months after Breath of the Wild’s release, I played obsessively to complete every…
Still needing more from our Breath of the Wild full story dub? As a special addendum to the dub, Sir Crosspad and Zelda Universe created this beautiful rendition of all of Kass’s songs from the game.

It all starts with an innate desire to win. Somewhere deep inside, we have the ambition to become better, to get stronger, and do it all over again even faster to claim a prestigious world record. Perhaps this is the core of what speedrunning is about, a niche-within-a-niche that’s garnered increased attention over the past…
Hudson is a humble, stoic, yet friendly construction worker in Breath of the Wild who builds the quaint, island-based village called Tarrey Town from the ground up, with his own two hands and many sons. Well, not his “sons” as in children, but rather a diverse group of workers who all bear a name ending…
Between the base game and The Champions’ Ballad DLC, there are a grand total of 136 Ancient Shrines dotting Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule. These sanctums hidden below the earth are the resting places of Sheikah Monks who will reward you with a Spirit Orb should you manage to complete their trials, which may include…
