Rest easy, weary traveler. You have arrived at one of Hyrule’s sparse stables, where you can board your steed, cook a hearty meal, hear news of goings-on across the land, and take a well-deserved load off. If nothing else, you can relax to the soothing music while you put your boots up. The stables in…
We define a “citadel” as a fortified core of a city or town, and the citadel in Akkala fits this description well. Built into a tall mountain close to the southern border of the region, it’s a foreboding structure that looks ominous as you approach, though at one point I’m sure it was regal. Following…
This may be one of the most common cliches of all time, but I used to daydream about flying as a kid. Soaring in the skies, free to go where I please — it was that sense of freedom I wished I could have instead of being cooped up inside the classroom all day. Sure,…

Hyrule Castle is usually the more bustling and central hub of the world, but I often find myself preferring Kakariko Village, and I reckon most Zelda fans feel similar.

Breath of the Wild is a nearly perfect game, but why stop there? With the help of emulation, modders have been tinkering with it since launch. So far these changes have been mostly cosmetic, such as tweaking graphics settings or removing cel-shading, but a new set of tools could open up far more creative possibilities.…
Why is it that negatives are so much easier to remember than positives? I mean, of course I remember all the great bosses I’ve fought in The Legend of Zelda: Stallord, Molgera, Twinrova, Koloktos — just to name a few. This series is full of wonderful boss battles, which I guess makes the terrible ones…

A city at the foot of an immense castle, protected by high stone walls. Circular cobblestone pathways that lead out of gates on the eastern, western, and southern sides. Blue roofs adorn homes and shops alike — royal blue for the color of the royal family. In the western area of town resides a bell…
The upcoming Labo VR goggles have gotten more intriguing after news of Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild getting updates to make them compatible with the cardboard kit.

After stepping out of Impa’s house, I faced one of Breath of the Wild’s endless choices: which Divine Beast (if any) I was going to set off to free first. The game subtly nudges you toward the realm of the Zora in that early stage of the story, and I was already in the area,…
Let me first clarify that I adore Breath of the Wild’s boundless world. I thrive in environments free of hand-holding, as my curiosity is my best, most entertaining guide.
