As a child of the 80s, I was raised on such epic fantasy movies as Krull, The NeverEnding Story, Legend, and Clash of the Titans — if it had a magnificently over the top premise and questionable acting, you can guarantee I had not only watched it, but loved it unconditionally. There’s something wonderfully innocent…
When I stumbled upon this fantastic piece on Deviantart, my jaw literally dropped. I’m in love with the mythos of Japan, portrayals of samurai and of course, The Legend of Zelda, so this represents a perfect storm for me. Take a bow, Pertheseus — ‘The Myth of Zelda – Link-Zelda’ is magnificent. Somewhere, in alternate…
I cry a lot. I always have, and I always will. It’s just a part of who I am. It was very hard for me to go through most Zelda games without crying at least once; whether it was out of fear, sadness, or joy, there is no denying that I bawl my eyes out…
Collaborative duo Akira Himekawa have teased a new piece of artwork on their Facebook page for their upcoming Twilight Princess manga, this time showing Zelda and Zant. Our princess is looking rather angry and wielding her rapier fiercely, so I’d wager that this is based on the flashback scene in the game where Zant attacks Hyrule Castle.…
The Legend of Zelda games are set in an amazing medieval landscape filled with enormous castles, deep, dark dungeons, and fantastical monsters. But what would happen if the game received a futuristic sci-fi makeover? That’s what artist Magnus Norén imagined when he came up with this great piece of artwork. Titled “Link” and “Zelda,” the…
Hyrule Warriors Legends releases soon, and Nintendo has revealed how the downloadable content for the game will be distributed. You might even need the help of Navi or Kaepora Gaebora in understanding how you can get your hands on all the material. Let’s get right into it! There is DLC for the 3DS Hyrule Warriors Legends…
At long last, Nintendo has unveiled the specifics of Amiibo functionality for Twilight Princess HD on the Wii U. As many have suspected, the Wolf Link/Midna Amiibo (that is available bundled with Twilight Princess HD), is the key to accessing a new dungeon of sorts: The Cave of Shadows. This cave can only be accessed by tapping this…
First 4 Figures, a company we’ve featured here a number of times for its great many Zelda figurines, has now announced a statue of Puppet Zelda. This is the sixth in the “Master Arts” line of Twilight Princess, standing 15 inches high (including the base), made of high quality poly-stone and painted by hand. https://www.facebook.com/First4Figures/posts/10153307599506732 The edition size will…
It seems like a perfectly nice day as Princess Peach frolics through the field and practices her golf swing on a wandering Goomba, until Princess Zelda shows up just as the Goomba comes sailing toward her, knocking her in the head. Accident or not, Zelda is not one to take kindly to being assaulted and…
Famitsu recently got the opportunity to sit down with Yosuke Hayashi, a producer on Hyrule Warriors Legends, in order to talk about the upcoming game for the Nintendo 3DS. After the release of Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U, many Zelda fans mentioned that they’d like to play the game on Nintendo’s portable console. After that, production…
Hyrule Warriors Legends was officially announced this past E3, and a fair share of screenshots have already been released. Now we have more to add that in particular showcase Tetra’s and King of Red Lions’s attacks. Both characters look to add their own flair into the mishmash of fan service that is Hyrule Warriors Legends. Tetra and…
Koei Tecmo may have let one of Nintendo’s E3 surprises slip, as an unlisted video from their YouTube channel has popped up all over the internet. That video is none other than a trailer for Hyrule Warriors for the Nintendo 3DS. Presumably this was meant to be revealed during Nintendo’s Digital Event on Tuesday morning, but…
Zelda from Skyward Sword is one of my favorite incarnations of the character. She is not only elegant, but she also goes on a journey of her own that parallels Link’s from the title and develops as a character. This piece of art by Nechii of DeviantArt entitled “Skyward Sword: Zelda” expresses this through sheer artwork alone. Zelda shows…
A Link Between Worlds was met with universal critical praise, but parts of the Zelda fandom were left divided about the changes the game brought about. Items were no longer found in dungeons but were either rented or bought from Ravio, a mysterious young man in a rabbit suit. The game saw the return of the…
There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it: Link and Zelda are my favorite romantic pairing in the Zelda franchise. This came full circle in Skyward Sword, where there were actually romantic inklings between the two. BlackberryAuthor of DeviantArt has created this beautiful piece called “Let’s Fly Away“, depicting Link and Zelda lying down in the fields in the…
