I was thinking about my first playthrough of Breath of the Wild the other day. It seems like nothing will ever top it. I wish that my mind could forget all of my experiences playing the game so I can relive all the firsts. Nothing in my entire gaming life has ever been as fun as…
Move over Gwent, there’s a new card game in town and it’s based on Breath of the Wild. Available for preorder on Amazon Japan and AmiAmi, these trading cards are set to release on October 31. Sadly, there’s no information yet on whether they’ll be available outside of Japan, but we can only hope! There’s 26 in…
From the very beginning, Zelda games have given players a big wide world to explore, and although the world size and level of freedom varies throughout the series, most include some form of transportation to help you navigate quicker and more adventurously than walking. It wasn’t until Ocarina of Time that we got the iconic…
Link and his Master Cycle Zero raced into action on July 19 as free downloadable content in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch. Following the release, Deluxe producer Kosuke Yabuki discussed the Hylian hero’s inclusion via a post on the official The Legend of Zelda Japanese portal. In the post (as translated by Perfectly…

Today I want to take a moment to appreciate some of my favorite enemies and monsters within the Zelda series. Because, what would be of the games without them? They either pose a challenge, a test, or simply an annoyance, but they’re always there for us, ready to greet us with arms (or wings, leaves, tentacles,…
Dark Horse has announced that the Breath of the Wild: Completing a Champion art book will be coming to the West with an additional collector’s edition, known as the Hero’s Edition. A couple of months ago it was revealed that those of us in the West would be getting a localized copy of Breath of the…
Zelda has been covered extensively by the fact-finding blog/video series Did You Know Gaming? over the years, leaving no patch of grass uncut and no breakable pots intact in their search for fascinating trivia. With a world as huge and exciting as the one Breath of the Wild offers, however, a new episode was inevitable —…
Princess Zelda, or Patricia Summersett as she’s known in this realm, participated in a fantastic video interview with YouTuber (and former Zelda Universe reporter!) GameOver Jesse and answered many questions that fans have been wondering about. Having started in video game voice acting with a role in the (not so well received) Beowulf, Patricia talks about…
It comes as no surprise to anyone who has read my work that I absolutely adored Breath of the Wild. It’s one of those games I can see myself going back and playing through multiple times, maybe even playing it once a year like I do with some of my all-time favorites. One thing that stood…
Although Link is an iconic character in his own right, the titular Zelda herself is just as iconic. I always liked Zelda as a character more than most princesses in fiction simply because she’s not content to just sit around and allow things to happen. If anything she’s the primary reason Link can even succeed…

Sheikah Towers are placed in all the iconic areas within Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule, and now they’re represented with the Great Plateau Tower stage in the upcoming Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The setting looks pretty interactive, with the tower crumbling into a platform when characters are smashed into it, before later restoring itself. The Old Man from the…
