On the surface, Molgera seems like a pretty straightforward boss, and that’s because, well, it is. However, to me, it’s one of my absolute favorites. I don’t need an overly complicated battle to keep me entertained. You simply Hookshot the tongue of the enormous sandworm and slash away. Easy enough. Do this three times while…
Last week we celebrated the five-year anniversary of Hyrule Warriors with columns highlighting music, trivia, characters and cosplay from or inspired by the Zelda spin-off. But why stop there? Let’s keep it going for another day! Think of it as Hyrule Warriors Week: Definitive Edition. Today, we keep rocking with a mettlesome medley of Wind…
The re-release of Hyrule Warriors for the Switch was the first time I got to play the Wind Waker storyline, as the DLC for the Wii U only carried over the characters and weapons. I was excited to visit these new locations and explore the new story segments that gave one of my all-time favorite…
How did someone take 90 percent of the life during the early 2000s and cram it into one image? I never thought I’d see art like this, let alone discuss art like this in an article, but here I am. Artist Autobiotic has made something truly special here: Link and Goku squaring off at the…
Though many of the islands and locations present in The Wind Waker can be considered exotic, environmental diversity doesn’t get much more intense than what is encountered on Fire Mountain. Fire Mountain is a relatively small island located south of Dragon Roost Island. In a way, it almost seems like Dragon Roost’s smaller but more…
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou It would be difficult to write for a Zelda fansite if I didn’t enjoy playing Zelda games. But if I had to pick one game that evoked the…
Now, it’s no secret that the Tower of the Gods is one of my all–time favorite Zelda dungeons, and one of the things that makes it so epic to me is the music that plays inside the structure. It’s grand enough as is, giving the overtone of a great challenge of wit and strength, but…
While most enemies and beasts in Zelda games attempt to intimidate players with designs based on mythical sources, the various Gyorg species are rare exceptions that are inspired by real-life fears. Gyorgs have not appeared in many games, but their nature of being a deadly creature that lurks below (or even above) has made them…
My favorite characters in any kind of media are always the “quiet-but-determined” kind. Yuna from Final Fantasy X, Lucas from Mother 3, and of course Medli from Wind Waker are just some examples of this type of character. It’s because I relate so well to them that I find myself cheering them on in their…
You’re in for a windfall of activities and secrets on this island. (I’m starting this off strong, aren’t I?) I needed to make multiple mandatory visits to Windfall Island while playing The Wind Waker, but I enjoyed my voluntary trips the most. There was so much to do on the island. It had interesting characters…
Remember at the start of The Wind Waker, when you returned those three missing pet piglets to their rightful owner? Only to return to your home island later on, of course, and find that two of them actually ended up as dinner? It seems that there is someone else in the game who also has…
Say it with me: Wind Waker Link is the best Link. Link’s transformation into a hero was not an easy one, but his courage, resolve, and humor made the process bearable for him and enjoyable for me. The Wind Waker has always been my favorite video game, and its version of Link has always been…
Legend of Zelda games are known for their amazing and memorable boss fights, and The Wind Waker’s assortment of monsters certainly make the short list when it comes to best of the best. The bosses of Wind Waker are amazing spectacles that blend the game’s narrative, gameplay, and challenge into their intense encounters. While it is one…
The Wind Waker is my favorite video game bar none. I’m a purist about it (I won’t even do speedruns of it), but the things fans can find to do with the game are always entertaining. Mods are some of the most notable examples, and AaronTheSnob’s reskin of Toon Link as Solid Snake hits the…
The Wind Waker provided many surprises for me as a child. I wasn’t expecting Jabun to be so gargantuan, I didn’t have a clue that Tetra would turn out to be a princess, and I certainly did not foresee a child to be the Queen of Fairies. I had encountered a few Great Fairies before…
