Breath of the Wild has to be one of my favorite Zelda games that I’ve ever had the enormous pleasure to play. This is not only due to the wonderful graphics, beautiful storytelling, and a world full of endless possibilities and exploring, but also because of the person I was able to share these wonderful experiences…

Although I personally feel that Breath of the Wild’s iteration of Zelda has some flaws, she’s one of my favorites in the series. It’s a shame that we didn’t get to see more of her elegant yet headstrong personality in the game, as throughout the series, she is too often relegated to the role of…
The Lost Woods is a recurring place in Zelda games and one that any fan will recognize as a staple of the series. Even in the games in which it doesn’t appear, there are close variations, such as Link’s Awakening’s Mysterious Woods or Majora’s Mask’s Woods of Mystery. There’s a reason that this magical woodland theme keeps returning,…
As reported by Media Create earlier this week, Breath of the Wild has sold more than 1.25 million copies in Japan across both Nintendo Switch and Wii U, making it the new best-selling Zelda title in the country and bumping Ocarina of Time to the number two slot. Many thought it wouldn’t happen, as Ocarina…
Every single time I play Breath of the Wild, I am constantly reminded of the astonishing soundtrack that highlights each moment while you progress through the game. The Breath of the Wild soundtrack overall has grown to be one of my favorites of all time, due to its brilliant mixture of nostalgic-yet-original themes. So much…
There’s something about breaking the limits of a game world and exploring what lies beyond that has become increasingly fascinating since video games made the jump to 3D. Whether developers were just hiding an item until the game needed to call on it, or burying unused and half-completed locales underground, there’s almost always something interesting…
Get your wrapping paper ready, as Nintendo is releasing a bunch of new bundles for 3DS systems and Switch games this holiday season. On the 3DS front, September 28 will see the New Nintendo 2DS XL get a new color scheme. This new purple and silver system will come with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed. Both of…
The iteration of Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild is easily one of my favorites. It could be just because she had an active role in the story and because I looked forward to viewing the memory sequences to see more of her character, but it also has a lot to do with her personality. She’s…
Breath of the Wild is the game that keeps on winning. At this year’s Computer Entertainment Developer’s Conference Nintendo pulled in a pair of rewards for two of the Switch’s biggest games. Both Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 took home a new trophy; Breath of the Wild winning the Excellence Award in the Engineering Division, and Splatoon 2 taking top spot in the Excellence Award…
Is there anything more anxiety-inducing than the piano theme of a Guardian approaching? The continuous heart-like beat and recurring piano really put you on high alert, and my mind now associates it with one of the most stressful enemies I’ve ever faced in a Zelda game. In fact, when I came across a remix of…
With its tumbling rocks, boiling heat, and difficult-to-scale passes, Death Mountain certainly lives up to its name. However, its inhabitants are truly what define it: the Gorons. While they’re not my favorite race (that’s firmly reserved for the Gerudo), I enjoy seeing their different iterations in each new Zelda game. They’re arguably the most fleshed…
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai hit us all with some impressive numbers during the Nintendo Direct today, including a whopping total of 103 stages. Astoundingly, there are also 900 tracks in the game, which add up to 28 hours of music if played continuously without loops. This of course means that more Zelda music has…
Happy Monday everyone! Welcome back to another Medli’s Melodies to cure those Monday blues. I have been obsessed with a guitar cover of Breath of the Wild‘s main theme, and I wanted to share it with all of you. This cover has helped me through a stressful week of finals, and I hope it brings…
If you ask me, there’s no better way to celebrate The Legend of Zelda than to take a deeper look into the Great Hyrule Forest. This forest is definitely one of my favorite locations in Breath of the Wild. The amount of detail that is put into this forest is incredible, and it transports the player…
