Breath of the Wild has some fantastic monsters and bosses, but one of the toughest bosses I’ve faced in a Legend of Zelda game was Koholint from Link’s Awakening. It was an epic battle, as most Zelda battles are, and artist Nicholas Deltort has created this fantastic pencil drawing that blends some of the pivotal…

This Thursday I’m throwing back (way back) to my younger days, and a surreal experience I had whilst playing Link’s Awakening. I warn you: it’s a weird one. My eldest sister had always been the one to indulge my love of gaming when I was young — I’d visit her house on the weekends, packing my SNES…
Marin plays to the beat of the battle in new Link’s Awakneing-themed DLC for Hyrule Warriors Legends. Fighting with the power of the Wind Fish, Marin cuts down foes to the tune of her lyrical voice. The islander is a force to be reckoned with while she is using the Sea Lily’s Bell, one of the eight…

Jaron Davis, who has performed a number of a capella-styled Zelda covers, has returned with his latest work, a cover of “Ballad of the Windfish” from Link’s Awakening. Short but sweet, Mr. Davis dons a Toon Link T-shirt while performing the song, evoking all kinds of different emotions and memories that the game carries with it. Though Link’s…
Link’s Awakening set a lot of standards later used in the Zelda franchise. It was the first game to take place outside of Hyrule, the first direct sequel to its predecessor, the first Zelda title not to involve the titular character, and it had a diverse and lovable assortment of NPCs. “Ballad of the Windfish” is one of…
Almost every game has its share of bugs and glitches, and the Zelda series is no exception. One of the most famous glitches of any game comes from Ocarina of Time.
