When it comes to The Legend of Zelda, the series isn’t shy in terms of putting the player’s feelings through the wringer. Whether it be feelings of joy, anger, sadness, etc., each game always has some way of making you feel something in a tremendous way. Breath of the Wild is no exception to this.…
I’ve always maintained that you don’t have to fully understand something to love it. This pretty much sums up my feelings for the Rito Champion, Revali, who remains my favorite of the four Hyrule Champions despite his somewhat divisive reception among the fanbase. His patented updraft technique, Revali’s Gale, has been an invaluable (and frankly…
To many people, Revali’s just seen as an arrogant jerk. He constantly hypes himself up while also berating Link, yet in the memory of Zelda recruiting him in The Champions’ Ballad, we see that even the “great” Revali feels discouraged. After being roughly whipped to the ground, trails of his own plumage floating embarrassingly around…
No, you’re not seeing things.

We’re not exactly sure why – the best guess at the moment is a possible holiday push for Zelda series…
The Gerudo Champion Urbosa is the embodiment of everything I love about the Gerudo race. Fierce. Beautiful. Determined. Dignified. Fearless. In fact, Urbosa also represents a quality of the Gerudo that is easy to overlook, given how Link usually sees them as enemies at worst and tolerant at best. Despite the burning deserts that surround…
With the sequel to Breath of the Wild being developed as we speak, it’s easy to let our minds wander, speculating how the game — and thus, the Zelda series as a whole — will continue to move forward and break boundaries as it does. Yet, before we inevitably reach that fateful launch day, I…
The music of the Zelda series has entranced players for years, being both incredibly hummable and deeply moving. No matter what you’re going through, hearing a familiar Zelda theme can lift your mood as you recall your journey through Hyrule. In the same way, there are many times when music has a dramatic effect on…
Breath of the Wild is still a surprisingly vast subject to talk about, almost a year after its launch. Part of what kept it in the front of everybody’s brains was the release of downloadable content that expands on Link’s biggest adventure. With it, naturally, came more questions, which Nintendo felt the need to answer…
A new Breath of the Wild: Expanded Edition guide is set for release in February! This hardcover guide, from guidebook publisher Piggyback, will detail all content from the core game as well as content from DLC packs like The Master Trials and The Champions’ Ballad. Complete with references, strategy pointers, and walkthroughs. This guide is…
The Champions’ Ballad returns in the latest installment of Tips from the Wild. This entry is all about Kass, the musical Rito who can be found traveling throughout Hyrule. In each of the four main regions, Kass will appear to detail the trails that await you to gain entrance to the Divine Beast. After listening…
In a recent interview featured on the News channel for Nintendo Switch, Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi spoke about the origins of the Yiga clan, and their obsession with bananas. According to Mr. Fujibayashi, the Yiga clan were members of the Sheikah tribe, and he imparts his knowledge about the Sheikah’s own taste…
When you raise the bar of a franchise as highly rated as Zelda to a new, seemingly insurmountable height such as that of Breath of the Wild, which is arguably the greatest game of all time in the eyes of many people, one might ask, where does the franchise go from here? While Breath of…

If you’ve already begun this added adventure, you’re well aware that the initial challenge will require some extra finesse. Taking advantage of your surroundings and using stealth to…
The Champions’ Ballad has brought lots of great new features to Breath of the Wild. Perhaps none is more exciting than the Master Cycle Zero included within the DLC. To celebrate, My Nintendo is offering some awesome new Zelda-related rewards too! For just 50 Platinum Points each you can get wallpaper featuring the Master Cycle Zero or a group shot…
Possibly the most exciting aspect of the recent Champions’ Ballad DLC for Breath of the Wild, aside from the fact that it launched suddenly and unexpectedly during the Game Awards, is the introduction of Link’s new motorcycle. The Master Cycle Zero is a fun new addition to the game, and to celebrate, Nintendo has released some beautiful artwork…
