I always enjoy seeing a calm scene where the hero takes a break from all the monster slaying and princess saving to just sit and relax for a moment. Now it is the turn of Ocarina of Time Link, accompanied by Sheik, sharing a peaceful night in the forest. The lighting is something I truly admire…
One of the things I remember most about my experience in the Breath of the Wild was gaining entry to Gerudo Town. Getting there in general was a bit of a process, but the moment I’ll never forget is seeing Link dressed like a Gerudo vai for the first time. I was both laughing and blushing…
Anytime I see anything Korok-related, I can’t help but smile. What makes them so darn cute?! Aside from their design, I think it’s their playful nature and admiration of Link. They make me want to abandon my duties and spend all day in the Korok forest, playing with and taking care of them. So, naturally,…
The Zelda franchise is one of the most popular for gaming-related memorabilia. From action figures to board games, there’s a wide array of merchandise available to scratch that Zelda itch. One of the more notable companies, First 4 Figures, crafts figures that include a profound amount of detail and finesse. With several Zelda products under their belt already, First 4 Figures recently…
It’s time to start taking down family photos, because you need to make room for this amazing new figure of Link from Breath of the Wild, created by Medicom Toy in Japan. This 300mm (11.8 inch) tall figure is absolutely, dare we say it, Breath–taking. It comes with an arsenal of unique weapons, features different…
It’s probably a fair notion that, while Super Mario Maker was an amazing game and tool, fans of it started to immediately want similar treatments given to their other favorite NES games. While many unofficial fan-projects are trying to recreate this experience, one developer is trying to recapture the feel of multiple games at once.…
Twitter user @RandomTBush has discovered some underlying scripts in Super Mario Odyssey that suggests there were (or still are) plans for more costumes for Mario to wear. One such costume includes Link’s well-known green cap. There’s no reason why these can’t be planned for a release in the future, as we recently saw Odyssey get…
One of the greatest things in Breath of the Wild is climbing. Why? You can climb any surface in the overworld — even if it’s seemingly impossible in real life. For me, this made travel so much easier, as instead of having to find routes around the mountains to get to your destination, you can…
Working at a major toy store can be very stressful, especially during the holidays, but the one thing that I did enjoy during my time working at one was getting to see all the new toy releases from my favorite brands — Nintendo included. Whenever I would walk around the store putting away products that customers…
Ever since I first played Twilight Princess back in 2006, Midna has always been my favorite companion for Link. She’s mysterious, snarky, and she has a lot of attitude to go with it. At the same time, I also enjoyed the idea of Link being a wolf, and although that form, in my opinion at least,…

Among the more interesting amiibo functionalities of Breath of the Wild is that of the Wolf Link amiibo, which bestows the game’s protagonist with a four-legged friend to hunt down Bokoblins/ruin your Splinter Cell style camp infiltration. Originally released alongside the special edition of Twilight Princess HD on Wii U though, the figure has become one of the…
Since the release of Breath of the Wild, there have been a few Link figures released based upon his appearance in the game. However, MediCom’s recently announced figure may put those to shame. Due out in December 2017, MediCom Toy Inc. have revealed their own Breath of the Wild Link figure. In addition to the Soldier’s Broadsword and Traveler’s…
The Legend of Zelda was my first step into the fantasy genre, in which I am now totally enthralled with. The mythical theming is one of the many things I enjoy about the franchise, and DeviantArt user Cameli36 does a great job of bringing out that fantasy element in his artwork of Link. The thing that…
Ever since it was released on PC, the community has done a stellar job modding their favorite characters from other franchises into Ultra Street Fighter IV. A recent video by IGN features a mod of a familiar character clad in green versus Roadhog from Overwatch. Cody (not that one! -Ed) from Ultra Street Fighter IV has been modded with a…
