The Good Smile Company have some exciting news for fans of the Zelda range of Nendoroid toys. You’ll soon be able to place Princess Zelda of Breath of the Wild next to Link and that adorable Guardian figure. We only have this image to go on for now, but if it’s anything like the excellent Zelda Nendoroid figures we’ve…
When the reveal trailer of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate showed that Link’s design was gonna be from Breath of the Wild, I honestly expected Zelda’s to be the same. As we now know, they went for her A Link to the Past design instead. Since it wasn’t from Breath of the Wild, and because I’ve…
In my middle and high school years, I played a ton of Smash Bros. Ever since Brawl came out, my two friends who I’d visit every week would all play together, and at one point or another, they got good. Like, really good. It had turned out that they had started playing competitively, and if I…
New York Comic-Con is my favorite time of year! There’s so much to love about it — The people, the vendors, the panels, and my personal favorite, the cosplay. The Legend of Zelda has always been well represented at this convention in the past, so this year I wanted to celebrate them with an article…
With all the hype surrounding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I’ve begun to skim through different pieces of fan art for this new title. One of my favorite characters in Super Smash is Zelda, and I couldn’t contain my excitement when I first stumbled upon her new design for the upcoming game. I fell in love…
As I’m sure I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions, The Wind Waker was my first Zelda game and remains one of my favorites to this day. There are so many exciting places to explore within the Great Sea, but my personal favorite is actually underneath it. Tingle’s Maps is a series in which we explore the endless…
Although I personally feel that Breath of the Wild’s iteration of Zelda has some flaws, she’s one of my favorites in the series. It’s a shame that we didn’t get to see more of her elegant yet headstrong personality in the game, as throughout the series, she is too often relegated to the role of…
The iteration of Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild is easily one of my favorites. It could be just because she had an active role in the story and because I looked forward to viewing the memory sequences to see more of her character, but it also has a lot to do with her personality. She’s…
When Breath of the Wild launched last year, it broke a long-running, established custom in the Zelda franchise by letting its characters speak. Prior to the landmark title, there had been no voiced dialogue in the entire canonical series of games. To claim that mainline Zelda games had never used voice actors in their 30-year history preceding Breath of the…
Although Link is an iconic character in his own right, the titular Zelda herself is just as iconic. I always liked Zelda as a character more than most princesses in fiction simply because she’s not content to just sit around and allow things to happen. If anything she’s the primary reason Link can even succeed…
Nintendo officially announced that the newest iteration of their hit fighting game franchise, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, was built entirely from the ground up. While many fans speculated this game would be a simple port of Super Smash. Bros for Wii U and 3DS, this announcement has gotten fans very excited about what updates each of their…
With a playable demo of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate available on the floor at E3, it was only a matter of time before gamers got a glimpse at one of Smash‘s lesser appreciated aspects: alternate costumes. GameXplain were able to grab onscreen film of every demo character’s eight alternate costumes. This included Link, Zelda, Sheik, and Ganondorf,…
Modders have done an outstanding job of creating Zelda as a playable character in Breath of the Wild, even going as far as providing bespoke voice clips and her clothing. It’s a stunning effort that you would be hard-pressed to believe not to be official. The video encourages fans to imagine what might have been…
One of the concepts that interested me when A Link Between Worlds was announced was the inclusion of an alternate reality with counterparts to Hyrule, especially since we got to see Zelda’s parallel early on. Even before the game’s release, we were already getting wonderful fan art of Hilda and Zelda together, like nna’s piece,…
For many of us, we have an inherent bias to be drawn to things we enjoyed when we were young. Whether it be an old movie, a favorite book, or more relevantly, a favorite game. In my case, I love the old school 80’s and 90’s Japanese art style that was commonly seen in games…
