Zelda’s Study: Armos Knight species overview

Stubborn monsters and creatures abound in the Zelda series. Some foes hit hard. Some foes simply refuse to go down and stay down. And some foes are a challenging combination of both. The Armos Knights are a perfect example of the third option. Armos Knights are living statues that have had a long history of…

Zelda’s Study: Deku Scrub species overview

The Deku Scrubs are one of the types of creatures inhabiting the world of Zelda that can range from being hostile enemies to endearing and quirky allies. They are sentient, plantlike creatures that are often found in the forests of Hyrule and related lands, and they serve many different roles both within their own cultures…

Zelda’s Study: Dodongo species overview

Across the entire Zelda series, the use of ferocious reptilian enemies has been a common trend. From the terrifying dragon bosses to the routinely dangerous Lizalfos, these scaly beasts have challenged and threatened Link at every turn. But these reptiles come in more than a few varieties, with one of those being the dinosaur variety.…

Zelda’s Study: Hinox species overview

The enemies found and fought in The Legend of Zelda games are incredibly diverse. They encompass a variety of themes, designs, and purposes, all of which make every game fulfilling and memorable. One important aspect of Link’s foes is that they supply an undeniably important list of cliches associated with video game enemies. One of…

Bombers’ Notebook: Phantom Ganon

It must be nice to be able to conjure a temporary clone of yourself every so often like Ganondorf can. Who wouldn’t want to send an illusion of themselves to sit in on a boring presentation, meeting, or class that you wanted no part of? Although, Ganondorf has always used his clones for a little…

Realm of Memories: Starting a new adventure together

The release of Four Swords Adventures for the GameCube was a pretty exciting event for me in 2004, but it wasn’t the most exciting thing to happen that year. The thought of playing a multiplayer Zelda was an intriguing new prospect since I missed out on the original Four Swords. Nintendo certainly didn’t make adventuring…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Legend of Abbey Road

When you think about it, this blend of the Links and the Beatles makes sense. Both were groups of musicians whose songs seemed almost magical, they both became incredibly famous across the world, and all the guys wanted to be them and all the girls wanted to be with them. The only difference is, could…

Zelda’s Study: Gibdo species overview

Gibdos are humanoid, mummified creatures that are often found in dungeons and other dark, hazardous, low-light locations. They seem to exist for the sole purpose of patrolling whatever crypt they wander through, attacking and throttling any and all victims they find. The first appearance of the Gibdo was in The Legend of Zelda for the…

Zelda’s Study: Goron species overview

Many of the various and fascinating races in The Legend of Zelda have imposing presences about them that demand respect, but few match the Gorons in terms of true intimidation. They are proud, strong, and resilient beings who stand by their convictions and never back down from any obstacle. The Gorons first appeared in Ocarina…

Realm of Memories: Be wary of suspicious Links

When I first played Four Swords Adventures, I was relatively new to the Zelda series and had only played a couple of games prior. I knew some of the lore and history of the series, and I had fought Dark Link in Ocarina of Time, but I wasn’t aware that an evil version of Link was a recurring or popular…

Tingle’s Maps: Village of the Blue Maiden

Four Swords Adventures is an incredibly unique game in the Legend of Zelda series. The focus on multiplayer and puzzle-solving led way to the creation of many unconventional and entertaining regions, levels, and dungeons. Among all these interesting locations, the Village of the Blue Maiden stands out as one of the most engaging and challenging. The…
