For this weeks Fanart Friday, I have chosen Nicole Gustafsson’s (Nimasprout) 2010 entry for the Desert Bus 4 Hope charity fundraiser for Child’s Play. Titled “Treasure!” the fanart depicts Link and the King of Red Lions hauling treasure inside a bottle. There’s something very surreal about the painting and gives me the impression that Link…
This week, we’ve published two new sidequest guides for The Wind Waker. One offers a detailed look at how to obtain the Swift Sail, the new faster sail available only in The Wind Waker HD. The second sidequest guide will lead you to the World’s Charismatic Dancer Extraordinaire, Tott. When you follow his dance moves, you…
Picture this. You’ve just spent an entire week whizzing through your first play through of The Wind Waker. You’ve been smacking Bokoblins with sticks, decimating Moblins and slicing up Darknuts like a boss. You annihilate the Tower of Gods and Hyrule Castle in five minutes. You restore the Master Sword in no time. Feeling smug, you’re then told that you…
Halloween is over, but we can still talk about spooky things, right? No? Well, I’m going to anyway. Everyone’s got that one Zelda enemy (or maybe even an ally) that scares the living daylights out of them. No matter how old we get or how many times we play those games, there’s always that one…
Grass’s mortal enemy has a new trick up his green sleeve. While the Zelda series is well-known for its Easter eggs and amusing strategies (Who would guess Ganondorf was a fan of fishing?), there are few secrets that aren’t undiscovered among the fanbase. So it’s always a pleasure when a new find is made, or a trick is revealed that…
I usually do not consider myself a very lucky person, but there are a few exceptions to this. New York Comic-Con 2013 was just that. It was the last year that Nintendo had a game demo station at NYCC, and usually, I’m not one for waiting in line for demos, but I saw a preview of…
Adventuring through a dungeon in the Legend of Zelda is so much fun, with all of its thrills and challenges; that is until you hit a roadblock and you can’t figure out what to do, staring at the screen for hours at a time before finally rage-quitting for months before you pick up the game…
Good morning fellow Zelda fans, and welcome to another edition of Music Monday. To set your week off on the right foot, I’ve chosen Makar’s prayer song from the Wind Waker. I know that every time I hear this song, I feel like just jamming along on whatever instrument I can find. Maybe it’s because I’m…
For anyone who played The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker after Majora’s Mask, or even Ocarina of Time, the art style was a significant departure from the earlier titles. Although many fans still crave a photorealistic Legend of Zelda, the art style of The Wind Waker was gorgeous and really set the game apart…
During today’s Nintendo 3DS Direct, Reggie unveiled four new Zelda amiibo. To mark the 30th Anniversary of the series we’re getting an 8-bit Link, in a similar style to the 8-bit Mario figure that released alongside Super Mario Maker. We’re also getting a Link figure based on Ocarina of Time‘s hero, and a pair of Wind Waker figures. One…
Speedrunners pride themselves in finding exploits both big and small that allow them to shave off seconds, minutes, and hours from a video game run-through. Whether such exploits used are glitches or unintentional side-effects of legitimate game mechanics is up to the runners to decide. Those who prefer glitched runs often painstakingly, multiple times over, go…
“Oh great hero, chosen by the Master Sword!” The words of the Earth Sage Laruto come to mind when listening to “Ancient Hero”, a remixed rendition of “The Legendary Hero” by DarkeSword (from OC Remix). This cover of the Wind Waker melody is absolutely worth the listen; the orchestration is wonderful, keeps true to the spirit of…
I first heard of First 4 Figures when they revealed the first in their line of Wind Waker figures, Ganondorf. My wallet just barely managed to convince me that no, I couldn’t afford even the five-payment plan at the time. Now First 4 Figures has opened pre-orders for the second figure in the same line, and again…
Nintendo have added eight new titles to their discounted Nintendo Selects line, including the HD remake of The Wind Waker for Wii U. If for some reason you’ve never played Wind Waker, or have just passed on the remake, Nintendo is hoping the discounted price of $19.99 will entice you to check it out. It’s well…
From the moment you switch on The Wind Waker, you know you’re involved in something that’s just a little bit different than anything that came before. The King of Red Lions edging before the sun gave an immediate impact and the sweeping views of Outset Island showed off the new love-it-or-hate-it graphics style — but…
