Although not a particularly rough spot, Windfall Island seems to be home to several bad-mannered and haughty citizens. Interestingly, the island also houses the Great Sea’s only jail (its sole inmate being Tingle, imprisoned for transgressions unclear). Because Windfall functions primarily as a port for sailors and merchants, it provides little in the way of…
If you’re on the hunt for some serious Zelda inspiration without running into Tears of the Kingdom spoilers, we’re pleased to inform you that the complete fan music album for The Wind Waker by ZREO: Second Quest is now available! This gorgeous album, called Fair Winds and Following Seas, was made in collaboration with 29…
Throughout all of the various Links’ journeys, there’s one fight that stands out to me as the most personal. The Helmaroc King serves as the Hero of Winds’ final obstacle before meeting Ganondorf at the top of the Forsaken Fortress, but it is also the entire reason he left his home island for this grand…
Welcome back to ZUCast! Now back and ready for a new format filled with discussions, banter, and plenty of opinions. We’re happy to have you along with us. With this setup we’re going to dive into themes and topics that will look at the Zelda franchise in new and interesting angles; creating a forum for…
Perhaps one of the coolest revelations of The Wind Waker is that the game takes place in Ocarina of Time’s post-apocalyptic future, and every island is just a mountain peak or broken piece of the Hyrule of old which sleeps at the bottom of the ocean. This means that several characters are callbacks to Ocarina…
Breath of the Wild added many things to the Zelda series. Its world was more expansive and gave players more creative freedom than ever before. The environment was yours to manipulate and develop your own methods of survival. The adventure unfolded the way you wanted. For Zelda fans with a fondness for the culinary arts,…
Last time on Tetra’s Treasures, we took a deep dive into the Hyrule Lifestyle Collection, a batch of exclusive collectibles that could only be acquired by participating in the Ichiban Kuji Lottery in Japan. It offered quite an eclectic array of fun items, from sound effect boxes that make every fridge raid feel like a…
I ended the last part of my journey through The Wind Waker on a cliffhanger, with me and the King of Red Lions descending towards the bottom of the ocean. Needless to say, I was surprised to learn that a castle had been hiding beneath the waves this entire time! The castle was completely grey,…
Today is Valentine’s Day, the most romantic date on the calendar and the day where couples have an excuse to celebrate their relationship and show a little extra affection towards each other. Some visit a nice restaurant or a favorite spot, while others prefer to stay exactly where they are, like everyone’s favorite super couple…
One thing I really enjoy about new Zelda games is the first time we get a good look at Link. Every iteration of our hero has something that sets them apart from the others. More often than not, it’s the outfit at the beginning of each game. Link usually rolls out of bed, still groggy…
The last time I set sail across the Great Sea, I found myself trying to outbid NPCs and win prizes at an auction house. When I first started playing this game that I inherited from my best friend, participating in auctions was way down on the list of things I thought I would be doing…
The 20th anniversary of The Wind Waker may be over, but that doesn’t mean the celebration ends. After much passion, courage and hard work, ZREO: Second Quest has partnered with string quartet ATLYS to create a beautiful Wind Waker themed fan album. Titled “Fair Winds and Following Seas,” it will be available for purchase in…
For some media enthusiasts, buying merchandise is just one of the many fun ways that a person can demonstrate their steadfast love and support for a particular franchise. To accomplish this, one might be inclined to browse the Nintendo Store Online and purchase a cute Kirby plush for their coffee table, or perhaps mosey on…
My journey started in the ocean today, which again helped me recalibrate my coordination and gameplay mechanics as well as remind myself of why I love this game so much. The color of the ocean looks so incredible, and with the sound of the waves crashing against the King of the Red Lions, I am…
Link has been aided by many sidekicks throughout the adventures in The Legend of Zelda, and not all of them have walked on two legs. With a variety of intelligent creatures inhabiting Hyrule and every other land he’s visited, some of Link’s most helpful allies have been the animals that he’s come across during his…
