A common theme in pop culture and literature is the challenge of facing one’s inner demons or fears. Often accomplished while in a vision, dream, cave, or forest, the hero must confront those things that haunt them and hold them back from achieving their full potential.

Many years ago, my brothers came back from a long trip, and they were eager to show me and our parents tons of photos of the places they had seen. They were also pretty eager to give us gifts they had as well, and I was excited to see what they were. One of those…
Have you ever stopped and really thought about why Nintendo hasn’t released Breath of the Wild 2 yet? Time and time again, the company says the game needs more time.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of the most enthralling games in the Zelda franchise. Anyone who has played it can speak to how its incredible story and gameplay made their experience with the game land somewhere between memorable and life-changing. Some Zelda fans have their gripes with the game, and some almost…
Fear. If there’s one thing that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess does better than every other Zelda game out there, it’s the ability to scare.

But these traits are not the only facets of Link’s personality, as…
Nintendo has a tendency of applying unique and interesting art styles to their games, but it seems that it’s not only the company itself that is capable of reimagining iconic characters in different ways. Fans can be just creative, as this charming cardboard figurine of Linkby Reddit user CactusComics proves. Their work is even more…
Ever since I found out Ravio’s little “secret,” so many fun ideas popped into my head of funny little scenarios he and Link could get into.
