As I write this paragraph, I am fast approaching my one-year wedding anniversary. For a bride, weddings can be as frustrating and stressful as a Water Temple. The responsibility of a bridesmaid can be just as bad, however, especially when it comes to finding the perfect wedding gift. Luckily for me, my bridesmaid, who has…
Obligatory questions when meeting a new Zelda fan include,”Which Zelda game was your first?” and “Which game is your favorite?” While I always find it very hard to answer the second question, I don’t always know how to answer the first one either. I know that The Wind Waker was the first Zelda game I…
In my childhood years, I had two friends that I did everything with. The three of us were inseparable and when we all got together, the creative juices were always flowing. A lot of the time, we would play ‘Stranded,’ which, in short, was a game where we would act as Nintendo characters stranded on…
So, this is hard. I’ve been following the artist Qinni (Qing Han) for several months now. She was a very talented, very funny young artist who would tweet out her art and thoughts for any and all who were willing to take the time to look and listen. Qinni was also a four-time open heart…
From the very beginning, the Zelda series has taught us that it’s dangerous to go alone. Whether it’s with a trusty sword and shield by our side or with the help of a partner, it’s easier to overcome challenges with help. Despite the overwhelming number of enemies and puzzles that stand between Link and victory,…
Seeing as how there are about as many editions of Monopoly as there are Korok Seeds in Breath of the Wild, it’s only right that The Legend of Zelda should have its own version of the beloved board game. As soon as that version released in 2014, I made sure to grab it right away…
I remember the first time that the notion of a Legend of Zelda movie grabbed my attention. It was April 2008 and IGN had just released a trailer for the up-and-coming Legend of Zelda film, claiming the hopeful hearts of fans from all over the world, including myself. For its time, it was a professionally…
One of my favorite things about video games is their music. So when I found out there was a group doing covers of video games tracks with their own spin on them, I was all in, and that’s before even mentioning my fondness for string instruments. My favorite instrument is the cello. (Looking at you,…
I’m certain by now many of our readers know how passionate I am about cosplaying. I’ve made mention that Link was one of the earliest characters I’ve cosplayed, but I actually did have a different Zelda-themed cosplay long before that. It was my second cosplay, actually. What was it? The Ultimate Zelda Nerd. Back when…

One grand prize winner will score a Switch Lite, a copy of Link’s Awakening and a Link amiibo. The second place winner receives a copy of Link’s Awakening and a Link amiibo, and third place…
Penny Arcade, who are no strangers to licensed Nintendo pins, have recently released The Legend of Zelda Triforce Pin set. The set features four beautiful pins, one of Zelda, one of Ganondorf, one of Link, and the center piece being the Hyrule Crest. Each pin measures up to be 1.5” tall. The pins also feature…
If you still haven’t picked up Cadence of Hyrule, you can now download the free demo from the European and Japanese eShops. The demo gives a good slice of the game to help you weigh up whether you should join the party late or miss the beat altogether. The music alone might just be enough…
Middle school was a good time in my life for gaming. Sure, I had Pokemon and Smash Bros. in elementary, but in middle school, I was beginning to broaden my horizons with new games, including The Legend of Zelda. While that ultimately became my leading love for all game series, three others made an impression…
Cadence of Hyrule: The Crypt of the Necrodancer was a surprise on just about every level when it was announced back in March. Nintendo, who is historically VERY protective of its IP, let an indie developer have access to one of its most precious franchises. Recently, the developers at Brace Yourself Games discussed their upcoming…
When you think of floral art, tabletop arrangements or small gardens may come to mind. But Burela, Spain takes flowers to the next level each year by creating massive “carpets” of flowers. The works range in their sources of inspiration, and this year some familiar video game icons took form under the artists’ hands. From…
