Two iconic Zelda villains go head-to-head in a brand new episode of Dr. Wily’s “Legend of Zelda Series Versus.” Yuga from A Link Between Worlds and Vaati from The Minish Cap and Four Swords are two of the most powerful antagonists in the Zelda series, and this video by Dr. Wily explores each villains powers,…
I had to stop and read the sentence again. My book had just made an off-hand reference to a roc as some kind of bird flying over the mountain pass. I laid the book down as the gears began to shift in my head. Every time I played a Zelda title where Link acquires an…
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…
Details on the fifth Legendary Edition Legend of Zelda manga, which combines the two Four Swords volumes into one, are now available on the book’s product page! These two volumes are my favorite Zelda adaptations yet by Akira Himekawa, so I’m happy to share with all of you that the manga is now up for pre-order with a release date set for…
When Tri Force Heroes first came out, a lot of us questioned: “What ever happened to Purple Link?” There are supposed to be four Link’s, right? Alas, he never made his way into the game, and we can only speculate where Purple may have wandered. I suppose he went off to a distant land on…
Legend of Zelda manga artist team Akira Himekawa have shared two new sketches with their fans on their official Facebook page. First, Sir Raven — Link’s knightly ancestor from the Oracle of Ages and Seasons manga — was shown alongside his loyal mount, Puini. Following that sketch came a colored one of Vio from the Four Swords manga, with Shadow Link hanging…
Halloween is here, and what better way to celebrate the season than by showing off some of these Zelda-inspired pumpkins? I thoroughly searched through Reddit and DeviantArt to find some of my favorite carvings of the year. First up, we have DeviantArt user Draug419 who created these two amazing works of art based on Four Swords and A Link…
With Hyrule Warriors being such an addictive title, it’s exciting to imagine the upcoming DLC packs expanding the content of Koei Tecmo’s hack-and-slash game well into next year. A number of sources have leaked some of the new costumes we can expect to see across the various packs, giving us a sneak peek of how we can…
A Link to the Past isn’t the only Zelda game being re-released today. The Four Swords Anniversary Edition is now available for free on the 3DS eShop for a limited time in the United States. This offer will expire on February 2 at 11:59 PM ET. The Four Swords Anniversary Edition was previously released for…
Some of Hyrule’s mysteries are veritable founts of secret knowledge, partial truths, and manifold quotes that, while they don’t entirely spell out Nintendo’s hidden secrets, at least point in the general direction of the creators’ thought processes. Others are much more subtle and vaguely mentioned, and such conjectures require deep dives into context and some…
It’s usually Ganondorf that gets the spotlight as Zelda’s iconic antagonist, but as we all know, there are many other evil villains that enjoy terrorising Link and the land of Hyrule. Animator Alex allowed the Wind Mage Vaati to take centre stage in his recent animated GIF on his Alex Draws Tumblr. The Minish sorcerer…
Despite being well into the new year, Nintendo’s 25th Anniversary celebration of Zelda keeps on giving. From now until February 20, you can download Four Swords Anniversary Edition for free on your Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS–that’s only seven more days to get your hands on this classic title for the Game Boy Advance. This…
A lot has happened this year. Nintendo has celebrated anniversaries in the past, but I think it’s safe to say that what they’ve done for the Legend of Zelda outshines anything else they’ve ever done. Better yet, this year won’t be the end of the festivities. The Legend of Zelda concert series will be going…
The year 2001 gave us both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons and the year 2003 gave us The Wind Waker. At a glance, the events of the year 2002 don’t appear worth mentioning. The highlight of 2002 is a remake that was bundled with a multiplayer game that many fans weren’t able to…
In a new commercial for the recently re-released Four Swords on the 3DS, Robin and Zelda Williams battle it out to see who has better skills…. with a gamble. Video after the break.
