A few weeks ago, we started publishing weekly Zelda guides on Squareknot, a social network for step-by-step guides. This week, we’re taking it back to the very beginning with a guide for the game that started it all, The Legend of Zelda. It’s a simple, but widely unknown fact that you can save without dying in the…
It’s no world record, but try telling that to Stevens who, after beating his personal record for 100% completion in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, was almost speechless with joy. “I’ve been working on this for five months,” Stevens said. “I can’t believe it.” Stevens is a frequent speedrunner of Zelda II, often trying for new…
Amiibo Tap, which launched in Japan on April 23, is coming to North America and Europe on April 30. This piece of freeware that allows you to “tap” any Amiibo on your Wii U console and receive a three-minute demo of a number of classic Nintendo titles. A few Zelda games are included in Amiibo Tap, as well…
One of Link’s defining characteristics is the fact that he seemingly doesn’t speak a word. Sure, Link gives off his classic grunts and screams, but he never utters a coherent phrase or sentence. Or so it would seem. Contrary to popular belief, Link actually does speak a few times throughout the series — and no,…
The final boss from Zelda II is one of the most memorable boss battles in the series. Link must face and defeat his own shadow, which is all that stands between him and the Triforce of Courage. The recently released NES Remix 2 contains a challenge in which link must fight multiple Dark Link’s, with only…
It’s no surprise that each new installment in the Zelda series features various allusions to previous titles. The Adventure of Link is often considered to be the black sheep in the series, but contains various elements that would become staple in later games in the series such as the Magic Meter and the inclusion of…
As expected, this week’s Nintendo Direct lacked any new Zelda announcements. However, it was revealed that NES Remix 2, a new collection of “remixed” NES titles, will be available for the Wii U on April 25. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link will be a part of this newest installment. From what is shown, Link…
The Temple Theme from Adventure of Link has become one of the Zelda series’ most recognizable pieces. It has even had pretty sweet remixes featured in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The theme is very high energy, and a metal remix would fit it very well. YouTuber JonnyAtma has gone and…

Well he’s been at it again, and this time I’d like to direct you to an awesome Adventure of Link NES! The console itself is…
It is quite humorous at this point to notice this fact. Indeed, the digital version of the Zelda history book, Hyrule Historia, still has the medallion mix up in it. Definitely not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but it is kind of hilarious when you remember that this mistake went unnoticed…

Some of Hyrule’s mysteries are veritable founts of secret knowledge, partial truths, and manifold quotes that, while they don’t entirely spell out Nintendo’s hidden secrets, at least point in the general direction of the creators’ thought processes.
