If you Google search the names of the newly announced cast for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie, you’ll find some fun easter eggs meant for hardcore Zelda fans. Last week, Nintendo revealed the casting of Link and Zelda for the highly anticipated live-action movie. Bo Bragason is set to play the princess, while…
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that I was a Legend of Zelda fanatic as a child. I still love the series to this day and I eagerly await the release of Breath of the Wild 2. But as a kid, it was a part of my whole world. The games resonated with…
Destined as he is to lead a life of adventure, Link may not spend too much time at home in the Zelda series, but he often has a pleasant abode to go back to all the same. There’s the cozy treehouse in Ocarina of Time’s Kokiri Forest, the welcoming warmth of Grandma’s house in The…
First of all, if you’re one of those people who snidely respond to that headline with, “Yeah, The Legend of Zelda TV series sure was a big mistake,” then you should leave and go think about what you’ve done. Then come back, because you’ll probably get a kick out of this article, you uncultured swine,…
Dabbing, sometimes referred to as “the dab,” is a simple yet effective gesture. In order for one to “hit that dab,” the performer must drop his or her head into the bent crook of a slanted, upwardly angled arm while simultaneously raising the opposite arm out straight in a parallel direction. Of course, you probably…
Everything about Ocarina of Time is downright iconic, right down to the title screen. Many fans (is “Ocarinuts” a term?) have the title music etched in their memory, as it played as a prelude to each gamer’s return to Hyrule. The ocarina line that plays over soft piano and strings has become one of the…

It was over a decade ago, during the early days of YouTube, that I first discovered The Legend of Zelda TV series. I think my introduction to the cartoon was similar to many people who didn’t catch it when it first aired: I saw a compilation video of Link wailing “Excuuuse me, princess!” I wasn’t…
In the final installment of our extensive look at the monsters in The Legend of Zelda TV series, we feature five enemies that only starred in a single episode. As short as their screentime may have been, their inclusion in the cartoon was no less surprising or exciting. The fact that the creators featured these…
Ganon has to be by far the most entertaining character in The Legend of Zelda TV series. Despite being the main antagonist and plotting out evil schemes in almost every episode, he takes the Skeletor-style role wherein he is never taken too seriously for long and his goofy personality outshines his nefarious proclivities. I’ve already…
Next up in our examination of The Legend of Zelda cartoon’s broad bestiary, we have another mix of recognizable and obscure creatures from the game series. Some of these foes make the smallest of the cameos, while others drive entire episodes forward. Some are a breeze for Link and Zelda to defeat, while others prove…
Yesterday, we featured a song from YouTube user Martin Anderson, which was an excellent cover of one of the most nostalgic songs from The Legend of Zelda TV series. That song was uploaded seven years ago, but Anderson is still keeping the love for the cartoon going with a much more recent cover from 2019.…
Something I genuinely enjoy about The Legend of Zelda TV series is its music. Shuki Levy, who composed many major children’s cartoons in the 1980s, took the 8-bit music of the original NES Zelda games and orchestrated them into full symphonies. It’s such an incredible shame that the soundtrack has never been released, and to…
The Legend of Zelda TV series is full of unintentionally funny moments. There is no shortage of animation goofs and poorly written dialogue throughout the cartoon, and I love it all the more for it. “Cold Spells” isn’t my favorite episode, but it does offer one of my personal favorites scenes of the series. In…
So, you’ve played a lot of Zelda. You’ve played everything in the mainline series, you’ve indulged in all the spin-offs, and you’ve even played the infamous CD-i games (or at least watched playthroughs of them online; we’ll let you off with that). But have you played The Legend of Zelda DVD’s Trivia Game? No? And…
