Club Nintendo of Japan has received a very special soundtrack as a reward which includes the end credits music from a number of classic Nintendo titles. Not surprisingly, there are some included on the CD that come straight from our very own Zelda franchise. Those available on the soundtrack are the staff roll from Spirit Tracks, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Majora’s Mask 3D,…
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…
As we reported last month, Tommy Tallarico and Video Games Live released a brand new arrangement of “Zelda’s Lullaby” on their latest album, Video Games Live: Level 4. The music video features the full song from the album and was shot in the California redwoods, which gives the video a very Zelda-esque feeling to it.…
With Christmas less than a week away, it feels only fitting that this week’s Fanart Friday feature some Christmas goodness, along with a little Zelda/Link action sprinkled on top! Daniel-Link of Deviant Art manages to portray a charming yet cute version of what a ZeLink Christmas would look like in his piece “Merry Christmas 2012.” While Link has yet…
Video game composer and creator of Video Games Live, Tommy Tallarico, has been kind enough to exclusively share with us a mock-up demo of his newest Zelda arrangement. It has been put together by Video Games Live for their new Level 4 album. While the Kickstarter campaign for the album recently surpassed its initial goal of $150,000, Video…
Making a good replica is hard. Depending on what you’re making, first you have to pick the materials. Should you make it out of metal? Or perhaps resin, a chemical compound that sets into a tough plastic-like material? Is it machined, or cast in a mold? And how do you even make it the right…
While those of you in the southern hemisphere will soon be saying hello to summer (lucky!), many of us are just getting our first taste of cold weather for the season. It’s hard to stay warm during those initial cold days — I find myself drinking cup after cup hot tea and I’m still freezing,…
Despite what you may think of the divisive Skyward Sword, even the naysayers seem to agree that the game still scores points in the looks department. Austin from Eggbusters knows this, so naturally he honours those gorgeous graphics in his new video– by glitching the game and ruining the scenery. By jumping and slashing at a…
Skyward Sword had some amazing imagery: a city in the clouds, separated worlds in balance with each other, and whimsical rides upon Loftwings to name a few memorable scenes. First 4 Figures has just made pre-orders available for a brand new figure, depicting Link riding upon the back of a Loftwing from the aforementioned game…
With Halloween just around the corner, Nintendo revealed three spooky 3DS home menus to celebrate. Among these is a retro Zelda theme, which features a menu paying homage to the original Legend of Zelda. The top screen features recurring eerie enemies such as Keese, Gibdos, Stalfos, Wizzrobes and Poe, while the bottom screen has Link walking in a graveyard, armed…
For this week’s iteration of Fanart Friday, I wanted to highlight one of my favorite characters in the Zelda series: Skyward Sword’s Zelda. She, like Link, travels on a difficult journey throughout the game, and the piece chosen this for this week’s Fanart Friday reflects the heavy burden on Zelda’s heart that this journey requires. Not a…
Gamescom is the largest trade fair for interactive games. Unlike E3, which tends to focus more on the business side, Gamescom is open for private visitors. It closes the gap between the gaming industry and its fans, making it more of a community-based event. When you wait in lines, you’ll meet a lot of people, and all of…
The latest trailers for Hyrule Warriors showed off Ghirahim and Zant as playable characters, presenting the exciting premise of playing as the villains in a Zelda game. Apparently, this wasn’t always going to be the case, according to a Game Informer interview with producer Yosuke Hayashi. According to Nintendo Everything, the development team “originally thought of them strictly as enemy…
To round off the Hyrule Warriors character trailers comes Ghirahim, the last character to be announced. But don’t dismiss him just yet. With deadly precision, Ghirahim will demand your attention. Ghirahim is all about swords, himself being one, of course. While beginning the video with a creepy display of his eccentric personality, he soon summons…
The final piece of the DLC Triforce falls into place. Last week we learned that GameStop would supply customers who pre-order Hyrule Warriors with Ocarina of Time costumes for Link and Zelda, while Amazon Canada is offering Twilight Princess costumes. Best Buy have confirmed that they will be giving away the final DLC pack. If you want the option…
