Interview with a Zelda musician: Laura Intravia

Late last year, a fan-made album titled Harmony of Heroes was released. The album revolved around the various Super Smash Bros. characters that have appeared in the titles over the years, featuring compositions inspired by their respective franchises. One of the songs on the album was a rendition of the Dragon Roost Island theme song from Wind Waker,…

Tetra joins the Wind Waker Lego set

Do you enjoy using Legos as an outlet for the creative architect inside you? How about The Legend of Zelda? Well, I’m willing to bet you enjoy the latter, at least, since you are here at Zelda Universe. A program named Lego Ideas helps to make people’s ideas for Lego sets become reality; and it looks like…

Fanart Friday: The Wind Waker in SNES glory

DeviantArt user gilamasan has uploaded an amazing new piece of artwork. I’ve stated various times that The Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda title in the series, with A Link to the Past not far behind. So, what happens when these two excellent titles come together? The piece is truly outstanding, capturing the open ocean of The Wind Waker and the…

Nintendo celebrates Women’s History Month with Tetra

Earlier this afternoon, much to my shock, I got an e-mail from Nintendo informing me about Women’s History Month.  It wasn’t so shocking that they were commemorating the month (although I didn’t quite know it was Women’s History Month), but it was shocking that they were featuring The Wind Waker’s very own Tetra as one of the…

Music Monday: El Pájaro es la Palabra

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker is one of my favorite Zelda titles to date. The vibrant visuals, outstanding art style, enormous blue ocean, and memorable characters are quite fantastic. For me, though, my favorite aspect outside of the art direction are the superb compositions sprinkled throughout the entirety of the game. The folk-like, celtic feel…

It’s a secret to everybody: The man behind Austin’s Zelda treasure hunt

If you are ever exploring the city of Austin, Texas, keep your eyes out for Zelda treasures that may be hiding in mysterious places. “Ez” (simply pronounced “easy”) is an Austin-based street artist who is quickly becoming known for his Zelda-themed “interactive” artwork that has been appearing throughout the city and the surrounding wooded areas. He admits that he is not “obsessed with Zelda“, however; it…

Why The Wind Waker is one of the darkest Zelda games

I love The Wind Waker. Of my personal favorite Zelda games, it is tied at the top with Majora’s Mask. I love everything about The Wind Waker — the colorful graphical style, the ocean environment, the storyline, and even the much often mocked sailboat simulation. It might have something to do with the fact that I…

The third day of Zelda-mas

And so the celebration continues. Today, we welcome the third installment of our “Twelve Days of Zelda-mas,” ever adding to our expanding song lyrics. I hope you enjoy today’s set! “On the third day of Zelda-mas, my princess gave to me: Three Goddess Pearls, Two Kinstone halves, And a quest from the Great Deku Tree.”…

Fanart Friday: “Medli Ready for Take Off”

Wind Waker is one of the brightest and most light-hearted games in the Zelda franchise, and in HD, it’s perhaps the most beautiful game in the series. Despite this, one of the first locations you visit in the game is in quite a depressing state: Dragon Roost Island. Valoo, the Sky Spirit, is going berserk,…

This Wind Waker wood carving is fit for a king

Many will recoil upon hearing Navi’s never-ending nagging, or groan at Fi’s incessant insights; but no one complains about The King of Red Lions. Many of the different variations of Link have had companions, but none are more useful as the talking boat that young Wind Waker Link finds himself in on his adventure. He can…

Wind Waker illustrations show what an animated film might look like

ArtStation user Cassio Yoshiyaki has uploaded some amazing illustrations inspired by The Wind Waker. One can’t help but imagine the title, with its cel-shaded cartoon-like qualities, be reimagined as a Dreamworks or Pixar animated film. Wind Waker is my personal favorite Legend of Zelda title, due to the nature of the game, the music, and most importantly, the visual flare…
