Yuga’s Art Gallery: A princess’s gaze

It can never be said that Princess Zelda doesn’t lead an interesting life. Across all her incarnations, she has been captured and imprisoned countless times, orchestrated rebellions, haunted a hero, conducted intensive research into ancient ruins, and single-handedly held back the apocalypse. With so many adventurous experiences, the girl needs a day off! One of…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Ghirahim’s Rage

Ghirahim is everyone’s favorite diva with perfectly framing hair, fabulous sleek armor (complete with a blood-red flowing cape), and a way with words that fills your heart with rainbows. However, his colorful disposition can turn as quickly as a lightning strike. Ruin his performance or tarnish his plans to bring Demise to the world and…

Tingle’s Maps: Five locations for the romantic at heart

Today is Valentine’s Day, the most romantic date on the calendar and the day where couples have an excuse to celebrate their relationship and show a little extra affection towards each other.

Bombers’ Notebook: Peatrice

Link has accumulated an impressive number of female admirers over the years. While Zelda seems to be the fan favorite and Link’s most steadfast sweetheart, this hasn’t prevented other girls from pining after the green-clad hero. Many of these women simply get the wrong impression and interpret Link’s helpfulness as evidence of romantic interest. Even…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Hand of the hero

One thing I really enjoy about new Zelda games is the first time we get a good look at Link. Every iteration of our hero has something that sets them apart from the others. More often than not, it’s the outfit at the beginning of each game. Link usually rolls out of bed, still groggy…

Medli’s Melodies: Flights toward the future

From the moment they saw sky islands in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer, the call went out from fans of Skyward Sword: Will we be able to ride Loftwings again? While the answer remains shrouded like the land beneath Hyrule’s cloud barrier, Tim de Man provides a speculative track that combines the musical styles…

Bombers’ Notebook: Oolo

The world of Skyward Sword is home to many colorful and unique creatures, and the first ones that Link gets to interact with when he descends to the Surface are the adorable forest dwellers known as the Kikwi.

Zelda’s Study: A tea-lightful trek through Faron Woods

November can be a pretty stressful month for many. End-of-semester exams loom on the horizon, holiday preparations begin in earnest, and the chilly winds of winter start sweeping through, sapping energy and darkening moods. Everyone should have something they can turn to for relaxation during this hectic time of year, and for me, few things…

Bombers’ Notebook: Pipit

Skyloft, the floating island in The Sky is one of the most picturesque and charming locations in Skyward Sword. It is home to the descendants of the Goddess Hylia and filled with an abundance of treasures and mysteries to be discovered. During the day, the streets are lined with contented citizens, but come nightfall the…

Realm of Memories: Waiting for a Link to arrive

Waiting. Ugh, waiting. The anticipation of something good to come, sometimes known as the opposite of happiness. When it comes to video games, waiting is something that happens all too frequently. Like right now, the week ending Friday, November 18th, 2022, is a week of excited waiting for many with several high profile releases. In…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: A lost friend

She was gone. Zelda, his best friend, had been swept away by the storm, dragged down to an unfamiliar land that no Skyloftian had ever set foot on before. Link had hoped that it was just another nightmare, that Zelda’s Loftwing would soon wake him up with a note urging him to hurry and get…

Tingle’s Maps: A retrospective on the Lanayru Gorge

The major geological changes throughout Zelda series can be fun to analyze. It’s very surreal to play Breath of the Wild, arguably the most current game in the series’ timeline, only to immediately thereafter play Skyward Sword and get thrown rapidly back in time. Peering back into Hyrule’s very beginning, armed with intimate knowledge of…
