Often considered the oddball of the series, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was a leap forward in terms of gameplay and design. The dungeons are long and complicated, the enemies are relentless, and the overworld feels expansive after The Legend of Zelda. What I love about it is the ambition of its design, which…

However, it’s no coincidence that the two games share resemblance; the developer of Tunic, Andrew Shouldice, has made it no secret that he…

A 35th anniversary isn’t traditionally one of the bigger landmark events, at least compared to something like a 25th for 50th anniversary. That said, many Legend of Zelda fans were dismayed by the general lack of fanfare made for their favorite series turning 35 this year. We got both parts of the Age of Calamity…
When I started college, I had thought to leave video games behind (though I hedged my bets by bringing my Super Nintendo with me for some retro fun every now and then). Instead, with the GameCube out, I found myself sucked back in thanks to living in a dorm room hall filled with fellow Nintendo…
