Bombers’ Notebook: Peatrice

Link has accumulated an impressive number of female admirers over the years.

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…

Bombers’ Notebook: Pipit

Skyloft, the floating island in The Sky is one of the most picturesque and charming locations in Skyward Sword.
