Rejoice fellow Legend of Zelda fans! We finally got some exciting news! A new Zelda is on the way! Well, sort of. Nintendo has finally announced the long-rumored Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake/remaster! During this year’s summer games reveal that used to happen religiously every year with an event back in the day…
It always fascinates me the ways in which game designers approach tutorials and information delivery. It’s almost always very awkward, grinding gameplay to a halt to show a few lines of text that detail menu navigation and the functionality of the A-button, among other mechanics. This is handled rather charmfully in Ocarina of Time, in…
A glitch surrounding the Twinrova fight in Ocarina of Time is once again making its rounds in the Zelda community. This glitch involves a new, invisible Twinrova spawning after a certain period of time, leading to the duplicate of heart containers and warp portals.
Alongside a number of different LEGO sets, The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 LEGO set is already being retired in July. The 2,500 piece set, which retails for $299.99 USD, originally released back in 2024.

The Water Temple in Ocarina of Time has certainly earned its reputation of being one of the most annoying dungeons in the series. For many fans, such as myself, this dungeon was easily the hardest one in the game. It wasn’t because the enemies were difficult or that every room was necessarily treacherous; the real…

When it comes to video games, parents usually fall into one of two categories. Some are totally fine with their kids spending an afternoon with a controller in hand, and others worry that too much gaming is bad for the mind and a waste of time. For some players, though, parents not only tolerated their…

Koume and Kotake, known collectively as Twinrova, are interesting characters in the world of Zelda. From Ocarina of Time to the Oracle games, they acted sort like the Kamek to the world of Hyrule, magic assistants to the main antagonist. Unfortunately, the two witches did not end up having the kind of permeance in the…
The fourth empty bottle in Ocarina of Time was an item that was out of my grasp for ages. My skills just never seemed to be up to par to obtain it. The challenge didn’t sound that hard. Shoot down ten Big Poes scattered around Hyrule Field, that’s all. These Poes would spawn in fixed…
Ever wondered what the ruins of the ranch found in Breath of the Wild would’ve looked like before the Calamity? Now you can thanks to a fan mod that faithfully recreates Lon Lon Ranch as it appeared in Ocarina of Time. It features familiar characters like Malon, Talon, Ingo and even Aryll as NPCs you…
The Legend of Zelda is 40 years old! Happy anniversary! I remember when I first got my hands on a copy of Skyward Sword. I hadn’t played many Zelda games at that point — only Ocarina of Time, a bit of Majora’s Mask, A Link to the Past, and everyone’s favorite: Four Swords (it was…
