On the whole, I try everything I can to be a positive person. When I write for this site, I try to focus on all the happy or heartfelt things. But alas, life is not always sunshine and rainbows as it were, and there are things in the Zelda franchise that annoy me or that I…
It’s no secret that I love to cosplay, and when I pick a character, I go all out. Link is always my favorite to go out as I have many different variations of this character, and my favorite of those is my Hyrule Warriors Trainee Link. While I admit sometimes I struggle to keep my…
Many great games came out on the Nintendo GameCube. Between all the great titles, Wind Waker remains as my favorite game on the cube-shaped console. It’s grand adventure and quirky nature has always given me hours of entertainment. The game has left me with so many different memories accompanied by a diversity of emotion. Realm…
Twilight Princess is one of my favorite Zelda games. It took everything Ocarina of Time did and improved upon it, with one exception: a character named Ilia. I cannot stand Ilia. From the way she has Link learn Epona’s Song on Horse Grass, to planning to surprise Link with a handmade Horse Call, she makes…
I’ll always remember two key moments from when I was around 12 years old: The first time I beat Ocarina of Time, and the moment afterwards when I desperately wanted another game just like it. This eventually led to me playing my favorite Zelda game of all time, Majora’s Mask, and I want to share…
One of my hobbies outside of video games, and especially as a child, was reading. Throughout school, I spent most of my time just reading anything I could find and I loved myself a good fiction story. Books became an integral part of my life and even now I still love picking up a good…
The following article contains spoilers for the ending of Breath of the Wild. Honestly, I didn’t want to beat Breath of the Wild. Yet there I was, standing at Ganon’s doorway, trying to decide if I should take that single step separating me for whatever was awaiting me inside. I took a peek inside, looked up, and saw…
The Mirro Shaz Shrine will forever be burned into my memory. I feel like Mirro Shaz himself came and branded my brain like I was a cow and he the farmer — and the brand in this situation would be a sledgehammer. In my own opinion, this shrine remains a stain on the great legacy…
I love collecting toys and figures. If there’s a character I like, you can almost guarantee that I have a figure of it somewhere in my room. Naturally, I have a whole shelf dedicated to my Legend of Zelda collectibles, and it holds some of my most treasured possessions. However, when you have pets, sometimes…
I’ve spent so much time making fun of the CD-i Zelda games that I barely remember how I felt when I first learned about their existence. I may laugh at them and quote them now, but there was a time when I was initially fascinated and then mildly horrified by what I uncovered, back in…
Before my family owned the Nintendo 64, my only exposure to the Zelda series was through A Link to the Past. As a six-year-old kid, I lacked the bravery required to venture through my own save file, instead deciding to play with my father’s completed adventure. After selecting his file, I started out on top…
What was your first video game memory? Was someone else a part of that memory? Was there a specific game? For Michael, my partner, it was playing Link’s Awakening with his mother on their Game Boy. They weren’t a well-off family growing up in a remote part of Colorado, so the Game Boy was a…
Recently I had a strange dream about The Legend of Zelda, and just as I tried to fall back asleep after waking up near its end, I find myself remembering each detail vividly. I’m unable to just fall back asleep, so instead, here I am, writing about this oddness that came to me in a…
From shooting galleries to fishing ponds, Zelda is full of fun mini-games designed to give you a nice change of pace and break up the main gameplay. Best of all, they often yield great rewards, whether it’s an inventory expansion, a new bottle, or a good old heart piece. We all have our preferences for…
I’ve said this many times already, so I’ll give the cliff notes version here: I grew up in the 90’s and I dealt with being bullied for my physical appearance, the way I talked, the way I dressed, and my choice of hobby. As much as people love to praise the 90’s, there were still many…
