Zelda’s lullaby has always been a favorite of mine, and I always find myself singing it around the house, at work, in the car, and every other place I go. I know what you’re thinking, how does one sing a song without lyrics? My reply can best be expressed with Jillian Aversa’s vocal arrangement of…
Skyward Sword may be one of the most devisive games in the Legend of Zelda series, but there’s no denying the game took the franchise into a bold new direction with its 1:1 controls while providing many unique experiences. The motion controls, Impressionism-inspired art style, and linear gameplay — complete with, at times, an intrusive companion — are often…
Possibly the most divisive Zelda title ever, Skyward Sword is releasing today on the Wii U virtual console. Announced during a string of Zelda news during today’s 3DS Direct to mark the series’ 30th anniversary, the Wii title will be available on the Wii U in its original form — no HD remaster yet unfortunately — so you’ll…
Playing a Legend of Zelda game takes you on a fantastic adventure, but even pre-ordering is a quest in itself. Whenever a new game comes out that I know I want, I go straight to the store and put it on reserve. I have always been the type of person who would do this as soon…
Confirming once more that Nintendo really does listen to feedback from their fans, Eiji Aonuma discussed in an interview with Polygon how user reactions to Skyward Sword influenced the development of Breath of the Wild. “A lot of the fans that played Skyward Sword said that they were really bummed out that they couldn’t find…
The Legend of Zelda series is well known for having an amazing soundtrack. With Skyward Sword, the composers got their first opportunity to use orchestral recordings for the game soundtrack itself and this makes a huge impact in the quality of the game. One of the stand-out themes from the game was the theme from…
When I think of Fi from Skyward Sword, a few words that come to mind would be graceful, elegant, and radiant; however the artwork done by DeviantArt user Wynahiros takes a unique twist on the character. Instead of using the bright colors that Skyward Sword is known for, the artist uses darker tones. Fi is…
While we wait for the Majora’s Mask Nendoroid to be released outside of Japan this March, WonderFest 2016 is bringing us plenty of other Zelda figures to eventually throw our Rupees at. Drawing inspiration from the official art first revealed on a Game Informer cover, this Skyward Sword Link figure strikes a ready stance with a fierce expression. From the creases in the tunic…
Following our English dub of Hyrule Warriors comes Skyward Sword: The Movie, starring NateWantsToBattle as Link and bringing back Heidi Tabing as Zelda. Skyward Sword is perhaps the most narrative-driven Zelda installment to date, so we are excited to dive into that story and get to know the characters. Act one of Skyward Sword: The Movie introduces us to Link’s newest companion Fi, and…
Is your Nintendo Gallery looking a little sparse? Have a few spots to fill? Look no further than to GameStop for three new, small figurines that are available for pre-order, along with a larger Dark Horse statue based on Skyward Sword Link. This November, Medicom is releasing three different “Ultra Detail” Link figures, once found only in Japan. Skyward Sword, The Wind…

HORI is releasing two Legend of Zelda controllers, and you can pre-order them right now. For the Mario Kart 8 fan who is fond of motion controls, there is a new wheel accessory up for pre-order.

Ever since Skyward Sword came out, I’ve wanted a pet Kikwi, but since they can’t be found outside of the Skyloft area, I’ll settle with a plushy. I haven’t had much luck in finding a Kikwi in plushy form, but luckily there’s a tutorial on Squareknot with step-by-step instructions on how to make a cute little…
I love Skyward Sword, but I’ve never been a fan of Fi. She had no idea what Link was going through; all she did was spout out useless statistics. Then I listened to “May We Meet Again”, Rozen’s arrangement of Fi’s Farewell. My opinion of her completely changed. Link wasn’t the only one to become stronger on…
When Skyward Sword was released, many wondered who the main villain of the game would be, as it took place pre-Ocarina of Time and before the time of Ganondorf. Demise was alluded to by his servant Ghirahim throughout the game, but it wasn’t until the end that we were able to witness his true form. The…
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…
