Hey, Universe! I am Rusty, and once again, I am bringing you a new Music Monday! Today we shine the Music Monday spotlight on a game I have only played twice, and have never bothered to complete: Link’s Awakening! I have no compelling reason for my lack of interest in this classic Zelda game, but, I…
Guitar and Zelda have always gone really well together. Think about how awesome the Gerudo Valley guitar part sounds. It’s really no surprise that a guitar cover of the Link’s Awakening theme would sound this excellent as well. It sure brings back a lot of nostalgia for us. Tell us what you think in the…
As a fan of Indie Rock and as a musician, I figured this was something awesome that needs to be shared here on the site. YouTube user Tonido has added his own version of “The Ballad of the Windfish.” This version starts out with one sweet guitar riff (which is just the basic “Ballad of the Windfish”)…
Recently on Reddit, someone posted a picture of Koholint Island. The thing that separates this from other maps is that this is a piece of clothing. Hit the jump for more.
More and more details keep coming out of the special Hyrule Historia book as fans of the Zelda series translate it into English. The Nintendo-dedicated website GoNintendo has released some new details that may surprise you and may get you thinking a bit differently towards the Zelda story.
Released earlier this year, in June 2011, Link’s Awakening DX has become 2011’s best-selling virtual console game in North America and Europe. It’s a pretty amazing feat, considering all of the competition the game had. The game is also the second biggest seller ever in the eShop, behind 3D Classics: Excitebike. What do you think…
2011 was a wonderful year to be a Zelda fan. With the series celebrating its 25th anniversary along with two major game releases, Nintendo pulled out all the stops to ensure that its fans would be left feeling overloaded with goodies. Here are my favorite highlights from 2011.
A member on deviantArt by the name of Pertheseus has been creating some fantastic Zelda artwork throughout his six years on deviantArt. From beautiful scenes of Twilight Princess to a style never before seen of Link in a Japanese samurai costume, he can definitely express the game and its characters in unique ways. Hit the…
Yes, we know that Skyward Sword is out, and many of you are scrambling to go through one Zelda game much less a second one, but to all those of you who have to wait until Christmas Day just to play the next Zelda game, perhaps we can tide you over with a different Zelda title…
A lot has happened this year. Nintendo has celebrated anniversaries in the past, but I think it’s safe to say that what they’ve done for the Legend of Zelda outshines anything else they’ve ever done. Better yet, this year won’t be the end of the festivities. The Legend of Zelda concert series will be going…
The 2000s were clearly an exciting decade for the Zelda series. More than half of the Zelda games in existence were released in that decade—a total of 10 out of the current 16 (if you’re just counting the canonical ones). Unfortunately though, jumping into the next decade would not be so dramatic. 2010 was a rebuilding…
Co-authored by Hombre de Mundo and The Missing Link Ah, 1998. I was ten years old back then, and Nintendo released the Game Boy Color. There was already so much love for the Game Boy back in those days, but the GB could only take the imagination so far. Limited to just four colors in…
If there’s a single year that should have been the best year for The Legend of Zelda out of all 25 of them so far, it should have been 1993. After having received the joy of A Link to the Past and after several years of Zelda cartoons and comics, the last thing that anyone…
The Soul of a Zelda Game Article By Hylian Dan Will video games as a medium be forever relegated to the pop cultural ghetto? Or will they establish themselves alongside such revered media as film, literature, and music? Designer Chris Hecker tackled this question in a keynote address covered by Gamasutra. As I reviewed his…
