Watching animations is something that I often find myself doing, with the internet home to a ton of awesome animated parodies including ones based on Zelda. There have been some hilarious videos over the years, whether it be music videos or comedic skits, there’s always something interesting knocking about. Graphic designer and 2D animator 9Hammer…
The King of Thieves, of Evil, and even of Darkness — Ganondorf has many nicknames. While they don’t exactly paint him in a good light, they do describe him accurately; he is evil and makes plans in the dark so that he can one day obtain the Triforce and take over Hyrule. However, the Ganondorf…
It’s unclear who actually gave birth to the literal embodiment of evil in Ocarina of Time, but what we do know is that the two Gerudo witches Kotake and Koume are Ganondorf’s surrogate mothers. I for one would love to know the backstory here. Were they awaiting Ganondorf’s arrival to raise him on a dark…
Hyrule Warriors gave us some fantastic incarnations of familiar characters from The Legend of Zelda’s many adventures. There was Link, with metal shoulder pads bolstering the chainmail he adopted from Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, along with that fashionable blue scarf bearing the Hylian royal family emblem. Princess Zelda donned more armor than most versions…
Cadence of Hyrule may have everyone grooving, but it can’t top the sheer weirdness of this animated Zelda short. Zelda: A Lunk Between Dance is bizarre in all the best ways. It opens with Link locked in a T-pose entering the room full of pots in Castle Town. What follows is hard to explain and even…
Given just how packed the roster is for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, it’s hard to believe that there were only eight characters included in the original release back on the Nintendo 64. The sole representative from the Zelda series for that initial outing was of course Link, but now a clever mod from Houston Smash 64 has added…
I don’t know about you, but I’m very particular about the costumes I pick in Super Smash Bros. Once I pick one, I stick with it, so I take my time deciding which one I like the best. I consider things like color and visibility on-screen, and something that especially piques my interest in a…
The first time I played Wind Waker, I was a thirteen-year-old kid and relatively new to the Zelda series. This game blew me away from the outset (see what I did there?), so the finale had a massive build up for me. Aryll’s being kidnapped by the bird, the bird owning Link, Link owning the bird, and…
Oh, the Renaissance. Such a great time for art of all kinds: music, architecture, and especially painting. I’m impressed by how styles have changed from disproportionate structures and adult-sized babies to an incredible realism and detail that may even compare to modern day photography. But while this is all impressive on its own by capturing…
It makes absolute sense that Nintendo is gearing up to push the Switch and it’s new key software this holiday. Special edition Switch bundles for Let’s Go! Pikachu, Let’s Go! Eevee, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Are slated to come out in November. But an unforeseen contender for your currency of choice has appeared from the very…
The Nintendo Direct was shown today, and one of the more notable bits to come out of it came in the form of Diablo III information. While showing off gameplay footage, including some that included the Ganondorf costume set in action, they announced that the game will come out on November 2nd. Coming with all…
Some secrets are destined to be revealed, and one such poorly kept secret is that Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo III is coming to the Nintendo Switch. But thanks to someone at Forbes jumping the gun on a news story, we now know that it will include content from The Legend of Zelda. Shown in some screenshots grabbed by Reddit…
Nintendo officially announced that the newest iteration of their hit fighting game franchise, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, was built entirely from the ground up. While many fans speculated this game would be a simple port of Super Smash. Bros for Wii U and 3DS, this announcement has gotten fans very excited about what updates each of their…
With a playable demo of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate available on the floor at E3, it was only a matter of time before gamers got a glimpse at one of Smash‘s lesser appreciated aspects: alternate costumes. GameXplain were able to grab onscreen film of every demo character’s eight alternate costumes. This included Link, Zelda, Sheik, and Ganondorf,…
I’m not sure whether I felt drawn to this Ganondorf fan art by Vestergaard because I’m in the mood to replay The Wind Waker (thanks to a hot weekend we had here in the UK recently), or because I recently watched Avengers: Infinity War and felt intrigued by a humanised villain. Either way, it’s a…
