Fanart Friday Special: Wild fanart

This is my last article before finally playing Breath of the Wild, and yet we’ve had so much for it though it has not been released. While I am already thrilled to finally have the chance to play this game, the fanart people have been creating has made me even more excited! The love and…

Fanart Friday: Dark Link

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! Today is the first Friday the 13th in 2017, so I thought writing about some creepy Legend of Zelda fanart would be the best way to commemorate the day. This piece was created by Finni Chang, also known as finni on DeviantArt. She has created beautiful Legend of Zelda artwork in the past,…

Throwback Thursday: Triforce of Savings

I am a collector of Zelda merchandise. I am also cheap. Usually, those things don’t tend to go together, but every so often, a miracle happens. There is a sale! Now I’ve gotten a lot of Zelda merchandise on sale — A Princess Zelda Nendoroid, an Ocarina of Time, and even a metal Master Sword…

Throwback Thursday: In the eye of the beholder

Many people — I think you will agree — are creatures of habit. We go about our lives and develop little personal rituals that help get us through each day, aiding us with a sense of comfort and dependability. We customarily drink from the same coffee mugs every day, or make sure we brew up…

30th Anniversary Amiibo bring Epona, Ganon, and Medli to town in New Leaf

Everyone’s favourite anthropomorphic mayoral simulator, Animal Crossing: New Leaf added a host of new features recently, including Amiibo support. During the Animal Crossing Direct that announced these features, we caught a glimpse of Epona, Ganon, Wolf Link and Medli appearing as villagers in town, and it now transpires that the recently released 30th Anniversary Zelda Amiibo will give you the…

Fanart Friday: A fantasy epic

As a child of the 80s, I was raised on such epic fantasy movies as Krull, The NeverEnding Story, Legend, and Clash of the Titans — if it had a magnificently over the top premise and questionable acting, you can guarantee I had not only watched it, but loved it unconditionally. There’s something wonderfully innocent…

Fanart Friday: Bushido – The way of the hero

When I stumbled upon this fantastic piece on Deviantart, my jaw literally dropped. I’m in love with the mythos of Japan, portrayals of samurai and of course, The Legend of Zelda, so this represents a perfect storm for me. Take a bow, Pertheseus — ‘The Myth of Zelda – Link-Zelda’ is magnificent. Somewhere, in alternate…

Fanart Friday: Link Crossing

Recently, I have purchased Animal Crossing: New Leaf and I must say I am loving it, and by loving it I mean it’s stolen my soul. With the upcoming news from Nintendo Direct, information about Zelda themes and characters making an appearance has made its way around the internet, and hearing this I could not…

Throwback Thursday: Chasing perfection

At work, I’m known as a bit of a perfectionist — in fact, my colleagues have been known to throw around phrases like “OCD”, “robotic”, and “anal” when it comes to the way I go about my work. Admittedly, my desk is always ‘just so’, and I do tend to go about tasks in a…

Fanart Friday: Linkle and Link

Hyrule Warriors has added quite a variety of characters to the Zelda universe, including Linkle, the lady hero of legend. She is said to be a female version of Link, but still existing in the same universe as the male Link we all know and love, so seeing fanart such as raposavyk’s “Linkle and Link”…

Fanart Friday: The warrior in the blue scarf

When I first saw the design for Link in Hyrule Warriors, all I had to say was “fantastic”. He looked amazing, just like he does in this Hyrule Warriors fanart by Ferisae. First and foremost, Link looks amazing. His hair, his hands, his expression; everything about the character himself looks great. Then there’s the style…

Fanart Friday: Battle for Link

Picture this. You’re Link and you’re in that room in the water temple. You see Dark Link, and, like every enemy you’ve come across, you attack by smashing the B button. Except, to your surprise, you hit nothing but air as Dark Link somersaults himself away from your every blow. What seemingly started off as a…

Fanart Friday: Link vs Marth, a clash of heroes

Prince Altea versus the Legendary Hero, Falchion against the Master Sword, who will win this ultimate face-off? “Sudden Death” by CharlieRomeo on DeviantArt is an art piece of two of Nintendo’s greatest swordsmen locked in combat. Along with the Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem has been a favorite game franchise of mine ever since I was young.…
