I’m certain by now many of our readers know how passionate I am about cosplaying. I’ve made mention that Link was one of the earliest characters I’ve cosplayed, but I actually did have a different Zelda-themed cosplay long before that. It was my second cosplay, actually. What was it? The Ultimate Zelda Nerd. Back when…
My favorite con of the year, New York Comic Con, has come and gone once again. As long as I wish it would have lasted forever, I will always have the memories of this amazing convention. My favorite part of any con is taking photos of the amazing cosplayers that attend the convention, and just…
The Water Temple is widely considered to be a place of mystique by many people who have played Ocarina of Time. It’s also considered to be a literal headache and one of the toughest trials many gamers have ever faced when trying to retain their sanity. I feel like I fall somewhere in between the…
Link is capable of many amazing feats: slaying beasts, rescuing princesses, and saving the world. Of course, he can’t do any of those things without consuming a healthy, balanced breakfast before each adventure. Animator, artist, and craftsman Baron Julius von Brunk‘s latest project sees Link endorsing Hyrule’s most delicious and nutritious breakfast cereal, KakarikO’s! All…
Link is an icon among gaming legends. He is portrayed as the embodiment of strength and courage, and because of this is loved and admired by many. Each incarnation of the hero brings a new aspect to the character, highlighting different attributes of his good nature. However, what I like in particular about Hyrule Warriors‘s…
How did someone take 90 percent of the life during the early 2000s and cram it into one image? I never thought I’d see art like this, let alone discuss art like this in an article, but here I am. Artist Autobiotic has made something truly special here: Link and Goku squaring off at the…
By the time I realized Link’s friend, Ilia, had come down with a bad case of the story tropes (amnesia), I had already gleaned how wise Telma was. That’s why it wasn’t a surprise when she understood that Link knew the memory-challenged girl. Telma told Link of what happened, how Ilia had no memories but…
Say it with me: Wind Waker Link is the best Link. Link’s transformation into a hero was not an easy one, but his courage, resolve, and humor made the process bearable for him and enjoyable for me. The Wind Waker has always been my favorite video game, and its version of Link has always been…
The Wind Waker is my favorite video game bar none. I’m a purist about it (I won’t even do speedruns of it), but the things fans can find to do with the game are always entertaining. Mods are some of the most notable examples, and AaronTheSnob’s reskin of Toon Link as Solid Snake hits the…
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…
The relationship between Link and Zelda always tends to be the same in most games. Link is from a small village while Zelda grows up in royalty. The two meet by some twist of fate, and Zelda gives Link his grand quest. Within this, it’s often difficult to really see any sort of relationship between…
My journey with The Legend of Zelda started in about 2006 when I played The Wind Waker for the very first time, but my interest in video games started long before then. My step sisters had a Playstation that they’d bring over on the weekends and they would let me play my first video game…
Heroes aren’t born as such — they’re made. Forged like steel from ordinary souls inhabiting the world that brought them forth. They are often discovered in the simplest of places: a forgotten forest, a peaceful village, a quiet island in a vast sea. When we meet them, they are ordinary people going about their ordinary…
The latest patch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was recently released, and with it came an abundance of new features for the game. Nintendo added content such as the new character Joker, an editing option for replays, and new Mii Fighter costumes. But for the purpose of this article, I’m going to explore the new Stage Builder…
For decades now, there has been a heated debate about whether or not graffiti can be considered art or just vandalism. I for one think, as long as it’s not violating any private property, graffiti absolutely can be a work of art. I have seen many, many murals in my life all around my hometown…
