Autumn is by far my favorite season. The sun starts to set earlier and earlier as the colors in the trees change to a beautiful burning orange. As we approach the shortest and darkest days of the year, we replace crisp Summer evenings with cozy nights spent around bright fires, snuggled in thick woolly blankets…
If I have any flaws — a debatable position, I assure you — it might be a distinct lack of patience. It’s true, I just don’t like to wait. When presented with two options, one immediate, one delayed, I’ll often choose the former even if the latter option might be better in the long run.…
I’ve been playing a lot of Sims 4 lately. A lot. Like Zelda, The Sims is a series I’ve been fond of for quite some time and I have made some fun crossovers of the two in the past. However, in my most current self-made challenge, an unexpected crossover unintentionally made its way into my…
There are so many things I love about Breath of the Wild that I could run multiple weeks of articles naming them all, but one thing that I didn’t necessarily expect to love is something that I don’t traditionally associate with the Zelda series: food. As I played the game, I would scour the countryside…
Looking back on gaming cons always brings back fond memories: meeting new people, buying some merchandise, having a laugh at the guests’ panels, and sometimes stealing a star for glory in Mario Party 2, making the crowd go wild. I had such a fun experience at Cox Con in 2018, a convention for a variety…
It was a thrilling day for Zelda and Mario Kart fans alike on November 13, 2014, the day that The Legend of Zelda DLC pack launched on Mario Kart 8. This introduced Link as a racer for the first time ever in the series, as well as the amazing Zelda-themed track, Hyrule Circuit. We were…
There were more than a few The Legend of Zelda fans who thought that we would get to play Breath of the Wild 2 this year. As we know by now after nearly eight months of total silence from Nintendo on the series, that will not be the case (although Cadence of Hyrule DLC and…
Why is it so hard to choose what to eat, even when you are as empty as an unoccupied bottle? And why is it even worse when you are with someone who is just as indecisive as you? It is an occurrence that I know all too well when it comes to a night in…
Sometimes you have to make your own fun in video games. The Legend of Zelda fans are pros at this, always able to find all kinds of ways to manipulate in-game content to create unexpected challenges and experiences. Years before we got to experiment to our hearts’ content in the giant playground that is Breath…
I was a freshman in college when The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker came out. I hadn’t been excited for it — despite my love of the Zelda franchise, having conquered games like A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, and Ocarina of Time in my youth, I had been unimpressed with the pictures…
For not being very old, my daughter knows a lot about the Zelda series. This is perplexing because she has yet to actually play a game in the series from start to finish. She mostly just plays on my completed save files, so she has the tools to simply have fun. The majority of her…
Is there any greater feeling than conquering levels in a video game and becoming a hero? The overwhelming sense of accomplishment, the knowledge that you have leveled up in skill, and the excitement of what further perils await – that is what makes being submerged in a fantasy world unforgettable and what drives us to…
Like many fans of The Legend of Zelda, I have an assortment of various figures, models, and other tchotchkes declaring my undying love for Link, Zelda, and their various friends in Hyrule. I have nearly a dozen amiibo representing the Zelda games, a few other figurines, a Nendoroid or two, a poster, some puzzles, plushies…
Admit it: We all like to test our limits in video games. In a realm where there are no real-world consequences, we like to see what we can get away with from time to time. I, too, am guilty of this, and I regret nothing because sometimes it can lead to interesting scenarios. I’ve mentioned…
The Legend of Zelda games have always been a part of me as I grew up with them, as I’m sure many others can relate. I used to watch my brothers play them before I got to try myself, I read some of the Valiant comics in old magazines we bought from a second-hand store,…
