My favorite con of the year, New York Comic Con, has come and gone once again. As long as I wish it would have lasted forever, I will always have the memories of this amazing convention. My favorite part of any con is taking photos of the amazing cosplayers that attend the convention, and just…
Creating the beautiful settlement of Tarrey Town is one of, if not the most rewarding sidequests in Breath of the Wild. I love that the player has a pivotal role in bringing together a team of tradespeople who not only build the foundation for the town’s charmingly square houses, but also the foundation of its…
I’m not much on my name — never have been if I’m honest. There’s a horrible song that uses my namesake, and when I introduce myself, people often ask me if my mom has it going on. There are so many other ways my name could have been used, but that’s one it’s commonly remembered for.…
A peaceful village that’s home to a number of kind and easygoing people, Lurelin Village is an ideal tropical dwelling. The crystal-clear waters, warm sea air, and clean beaches make life in the wooden huts a relaxing experience. It rains often, but that is to be expected in such a climate, and the downpour only…
Note: The “Break the Game: The Documentary” trailer contains explicit language and some adult themes. Viewer discretion is advised. Narcissa Wright, a long-time speedrunner noted for completing one of the most famous Ocarina of Time runs in less than 20 minutes, is the subject of an upcoming documentary centered around her story and the gaming…
Finding new ways to traverse Breath of the Wild’s vast landscapes has been an appeal for the game’s players since day one. The physics engine’s potential is still being tapped in weird, unexpected ways more than two years after the game’s release, and this latest exploit is one for the books. A month ago the…
Although the general consensus about Breath of the Wild’s Divine Beasts is that they were unsatisfying Zelda dungeons, no one can deny that their designs are awe-inspiring and leave lasting presences in the world of Hyrule. When I saw the incredible sculptures that GizmoForge makes and sells of the four Divine Beasts on their Etsy…
For anyone who hasn’t read my Dad of the Wild piece, click here to read it. Back in March of 2017, Breath of the Wild came out for the Switch and Wii U. I had given my father the Wii U and bought him a copy of the game so he could play it. It…
My first thought when I reached the Hebra region was that this cold, mountainous area sure did have a lot of mountains. My second, more exciting thought was that I was going take every opportunity to shield surf on these slopes. As I made my trek through the frigid tundra and up the precarious peaks,…
The community has found all manner of amazing discoveries in Breath of the Wild since its 2017 release, and to this day we’re still seeing new combat techniques, tricks, and glitches pop up across the internet. I would have said that this game can no longer surprise me anymore, but Breath of the Wild’s map…
Last September, we reported that Breath of the Wild had dethroned Ocarina of Time as the best selling Legend of Zelda game in Japan. Almost one year later, we can report similar news for sales in the United States. On August 16, Mat Piscatella of The NPD Group shared that Breath of the Wild has…
Living around the mountains in a small tourist town, it isn’t out of the ordinary to see wood carvings of the various fauna to some degree. One can easily spot a bear spawned from the massive trunk of a once living-and-thriving tree or even small carvings dedicated to remnants of the Native American heritage that…
I’m a big foodie in real life. Anyone who knows me wonders where all the food I eat goes, because, well, let’s just say I can eat for England. Like Link in Breath of the Wild, I must have some black hole in my stomach that allows me to keep eating and eating and eating.…
Prince Sidon is one of those rare Zelda characters whose name seems like it could almost be a real one — and that’s because it is. Sidon is the name of a city in the Middle East as well as a figure from the Bible. It is very possible that the city and the man…
We couldn’t close out Shark Week without taking time to mention one of the most enthusiastic sharks ever introduced in media. I’m not talking about the shark from Jaws or the friendly, fish-loving Bruce from Finding Nemo. And I’m certainly not talking about Baby Shark. I’m talking about the shark that when I saw him the…
