Here we have a little “pic of the day” round-up from Super Smash Bros. 4 director Masahiro Sakurai, all of which reveal new little details for the upcoming Wii U and 3DS games. First off, Charizard has a blazing new attack: Flare Blitz. Faithful to the move from the Pokemon series, the fiery beast will take recoil damage…
If you caught the explosion of new Super Smash Bros. 4 screenshots that appeared shortly after the spectacular Smash Bros. Direct earlier this month, you may recall seeing the Super Leaf debut as a new item. In today’s Smash “pic of the day”, series director Masahiro Sakurai presents us with a trio of characters who have…
In today’s Super Smash Bros. “pic of the day”, series director Masahiro Sakurai reveals more details on tether recovery in the game. For those who aren’t aware, “tether recovery” is a technique where a specific set of characters are able to latch onto the edge of a platform using their personal extendable item. For example, Link…
The Link in Skyward Sword may be lazy, reckless, and a bit of a sleepyhead, but when compared to the other Links in the Zelda series, he is one of the most determined and and may be the fiercest of them all. Charged with the task of rescuing Zelda, he dashes ahead without hesitation and…
The Skyward Sword Link figure announced last year is now available to order at NCSX Games and Toys. The figure includes both Link’s Master Sword and Hylian Shield, two facial expressions (fierce and sedate), and eye inserts that are included with the figure in addition to Link’s classic Bow and Arrow and the Tough Beetle item from Skyward Sword. The…
Inspired by A Link Between Worlds, DeviantArt user CupOfKafei has created this beautiful depiction of Princess Hilda and her champion, Dark Link. Oddly enough, minus the eye color, this depiction of Dark Link can almost pass as a more mature version of Ravio. It appears that Ravio has a new rival for Princess Hilda’s affections! To…
In Nintendo’s latest Super Smash Bros. Direct presentation, Masahiro Sakurai, director of the Super Smash Bros. Series, revealed that each stage would include its own “Final Destination”-like incarnation.

DeviantArt user ZantChan brings us a bright and beautiful colored pencil drawing of Link and Zelda. The pair look so happy as they forget about all the troubles in Hyrule for a moment and simply enjoy being together on this sunny day in the forest. I love the intricate shading and vibrant colors. She’s added…
The Fused Shadows from Twilight Princess have always been a bit of a mystery. Midna, Link’s not-so-trusty sidekick for that game is always eager to grab the pieces away before he can even physically touch them. Why is that, you might ask? ZU’s own EternaLegend has come up with her own answer to that question, summed up…
On April 1, most of the “news” we find is going to be shrouded in mystery and leave us sceptical. But since we have no obvious reason to assume that today’s Smash “pic of the day” is some sort of joke, the question is not “is this real?”, but rather “what even is this?” The…
It’s been a long time since Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai revealed that the 3DS version of the upcoming fighter would allow the player to customise the thickness of the character outlines (or turn them off completely). However, we we haven’t heard much of this feature since then. Today, Sakurai revealed a comparison shot on Miiverse…
How many people have beloved memories of slashing their swords away at Cuccos throughout the Legend of Zelda series? I know I certainly do! It was one of the first things I would do when playing A Link to the Past. Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros. series, warns against this in…
Artist Baron von Brunk has built yet another Lego creation, this time featuring NES Link and the Triforce. The detail put into this mosaic is spectacular, but there’s something one might not notice at first — it lights up! The entire build is hollow, with strips of LED lights inside. When turned on, the translucent Lego…
We’ve covered the Skyward Sword Link Figma figure here before, and now the figure is finally available to purchase. If you are on the fence about whether or not you should get the figure, or you just want to see the figure in action, Toy Pizza has posted a review on their YouTube channel that…
