Just in time for Majora’s Mask‘s 21st anniversary, Zelda Universe and MajorLink present a brand new animation set shortly after the events of Majora’s Mask called “An Invaluable Friend.” The animation follows Link and Epona sadly trotting through the Lost Woods, another adventure under their belts (saddles?). Link, still on his search for Navi, hears…
I have always treasured Majora’s Mask for its deeply emotional story and well-written characters, but when it comes to the land of Termina, I have to admit that it’s one of the dreariest overworlds I’ve ever encountered. Not only is the landscape itself awash in dull earth tones to match the dark tone of the…
The key to any great story is a colorful cast of interesting and memorable characters, something that the Zelda series generously provides on a regular basis. Some characters are important to us because we see a reflection of ourselves within them, such as the irreverent yet sensitive Midna from Twilight Princess. Others we take a…

The Deku Scrubs are one of the types of creatures inhabiting the world of Zelda that can range from being hostile enemies to endearing and quirky allies. They are sentient, plantlike creatures that are often found in the forests of Hyrule and related lands, and they serve many different roles both within their own cultures…
Throughout his journey in Majora’s Mask, Link has to traverse a variety of terrains, climates, and regions. He meets different races and experiences the different lives of those races — literally. One of the first and arguably most challenging he has to embody is the Deku Scrub, particularly when he reaches the Deku Palace for…

Let me take you back to the simpler time of 2003. My older sister was a massive Zelda fan during her high school days, and I, at around the age of seven, would always watch her and her friend play Ocarina of Time together. Then one day, my sister’s friend brought her little brother over…

Small ideas can eventually change the course of your project and take it from good to great. Many writers pull from their real-world experiences to guide their writing. They see…
There is certainly no shortage of bosses with giant eyeballs, or just one giant eyeball, like Gohma and the Hinox. What the Zelda games also have, however, is an abundance of bosses who are little more than – or no more than – giant eyeballs.
Across the entire Zelda series, the use of ferocious reptilian enemies has been a common trend. From the terrifying dragon bosses to the routinely dangerous Lizalfos, these scaly beasts have challenged and threatened Link at every turn.
