The Upheaval is coming! Are you ready? The last line of defense will be Link. While the Master Sword can only be wielded by the true Hero, this doesn’t mean the rest of Hyrule’s citizens are left destitute against the King of Evil. Wise Hyruleans can still utilize many things to defend their homes and…
No, this is not a drill. Less than twenty-four hours after Nintendo revealed the final trailer for Tears of the Kingdom, the Big N gave Ganondorf’s voice actor the go-ahead to announce himself publicly on Twitter. It turns out that the voice of the King of Evil belongs to none other than Matthew Mercer! Matthew…

“Rise. Rise, my servants! Sweep over Hyrule. Eliminate this kingdom and her allies. Leave no survivors!” If you lived in Hyrule and heard this threatening voice looming over you, what would you do? Would you escape the country, fight to the death, or try to blend in and survive? No matter which path you take…
The latest trailer for Tears of the Kingdom at the Nintendo Direct did not disappoint us by any means. More chopped-up footage was revealed, but this time we have even more amazing surprises to unpack. In one fell swoop, it confirmed Eiji Aounuma’s remarks on the game being darker.

The Ganondorfs from Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess are all the same person. We all know this by this point. Split timelines and all that. But, despite him being one entity, he is also three completely distinct personalities. We have the original personality from Ocarina of Time, but once we get…
It is no secret that television and film heavily influence the video game industry.

After two years and two teasers, we have yet to see any non-playable characters (NPCs) who are set to appear in the upcoming Breath of the Wild sequel. No Hylians, no Zoras — not a soul to be found so far. That’s another thing. We don’t see any people, but we do see the monsters.…
Ganon has always been an excellent example of what the final boss of a video game should look like. The grotesque, hulking monstrosity grinning down maliciously at our small hero, with deadly canines glistening against his hideous boar-like face, is a truly nightmarish vision to behold and makes for a perfect epic showdown to conclude…

It took seven years. It took seven long years for Ganondorf to truly have his chance at taking complete control of the Triforce. When he first took hold of the Triforce, it split into three pieces, leaving him with only the Triforce of Power, and the other pieces vanished. Ganondorf knew of the Triforce, but…
Ganondorf’s preordained right to rule the Gerudo, his training by their master thieves and powerful witches, and his conditioning by the harsh and unrelenting desert land he lives in have all given him the knowledge and skills required to set his schemes into motion. But there is something more that carries him to victory. Something…
