Whenever I would go away or stay with a relative for a weekend, I would always pack up my GameCube to plug in wherever I went. The game that always came with me was The Wind Waker. I was so determined to beat it, as it was my first Zelda game, so I would lug…
A Link to the Past has a diverse pool of dungeon bosses. Some of them include an eyeball monster, a three-headed turtle, a big moth, a dinosaur, a wizard, and Ganon. I enjoy finding their weaknesses and figuring out their fighting patterns, but among the numerous fun dungeon bosses in the game, Moldorm stands out as…
As we near the one year anniversary of our beloved Breath of the Wild, I thought it only fitting to share the memories of my first encounter with this game. Breath of the Wild was my taste of open-world gaming, and wow, was I spoiled! As I avoided all but the two main trailers like the plague, little did I know what I was about to behold.
At 2016’s E3, the world was first introduced to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. After watching the Nintendo Treehouse footage featuring the game, I thought it’d be a good idea to show the game to my father. He’s a retired sixty-six-year-old man who has played through most of the major home console Zelda…
With its incredible open world, Breath of the Wild is brimming with memorable moments — both big and small. It’s what makes the game so enthralling and fulfilling, for me anyway. I live for those moments of delight and discovery, and that’s exactly what Breath of the Wild is all about. Any time I think…
With the festivities of St. Patrick’s Day taking place today, I found it incredibly lucky that I managed to get the opportunity to write my first article here at Zelda Universe on my own lucky experiences while playing through Breath of the Wild. My boyfriend, who I am happily working with here on the site,…
Mellie is a strange character I had first come across while wandering around Kakariko Village in Breath of the Wild. I was collecting wood when a few bundles of it had fallen into her plum garden. I tried to jump into her garden to collect the wood, but Mellie immediately kicked me out of the…
I have a confession to make, and it’s not an easy one to make either; upon their announcements, I had zero interest in either the Switch or Breath of the Wild. “Oh great, yet another franchise going open world just like all the rest.” I remembered thinking. I was so convinced the game wasn’t going to…
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a Switch. Although I enjoyed the games on Wii U, I couldn’t wait to see the end of that era, almost as an enjoyable consequence regretfully. I knew things had to change with bad sales, and dare I say bad design and marketing — which makes perfect sense if you go back to the Wii U after using a Switch for any period of time.
Ocarina of Time’s Kakariko Village is a nice serene town. I’ve always enjoyed the people in the village and messing with the Cuccos. However, beneath the lovely village, darkness creeps. Most people remember the Bottom of the Well with the Gibdos and a Dead Hand, but there is another area that has a creepy tone just like the Well.…
What would the iconic pass-time of smashing pots and cutting people’s lawns be without shops to spend your hard-earned rupees in? Throughout the series, shops in Zelda games have offered all sorts of items to Link to aid him on his quest — from arrows and armour to bottles and bombs. Some are more memorable…
Video games are a hobby that, for a short time, ran in my family. My older sister has “fond” memories of having me in her lap while I was two, trying to press the buttons on her SNES controller while she played video games, and I would supposedly mess her up. Because my older sister…
This is a story about love at first sight — a love that was lost. In a previous article I mentioned how A Link to the Past was the first Zelda game I owned, and that it is also my favorite game of the series. Now here is the story of how it came into my…
The Legend of Zelda has quite an array of engaging boss battles, and it’s very rare that I find one of these monstrous foes that are not challenging or entertaining. However, that all changed when I played Ocarina of Time. Now don’t get me wrong, Ocarina of Time had plenty of good boss battles: Phantom…
Ocarina of Time is one of my favorite childhood games. I’ve played through the game so many times that I have the layout of the world memorized. There are many parts of the game that I enjoy, but it isn’t without its flaws — my brain cells begin to dissolve whenever I have to watch the Zora…
