Today I want to take a moment to appreciate some of my favorite enemies and monsters within the Zelda series. Because, what would be of the games without them? They either pose a challenge, a test, or simply an annoyance, but they’re always there for us, ready to greet us with arms (or wings, leaves, tentacles,…
One of my hobbies outside of video games, and especially as a child, was reading. Throughout school, I spent most of my time just reading anything I could find and I loved myself a good fiction story. Books became an integral part of my life and even now I still love picking up a good…

Valentine’s Day is here again, and though I usually use this as an excuse to talk about ZeLink, this year I thought I’d expand my horizons. Instead, I would like to share some fan art of other pairings as well as the hero-princess power couple. The Legend of Zelda fans love to explore the relationships between characters.…

If Helen of Troy was the face that launched a thousand ships, then the Legend of Zelda title theme was the song that launched a thousand quests.
