Admit it: We all like to test our limits in video games. In a realm where there are no real-world consequences, we like to see what we can get away with from time to time. I, too, am guilty of this, and I regret nothing because sometimes it can lead to interesting scenarios. I’ve mentioned…
“Playing a Zelda song makes everything seem more epic, whether it be another trip to work or running an errand to the grocery store.”
Link’s Awakening was a game that everyone and their mother was raving about, and while I had initially tried to play it, I was never able to pay much attention to see things through past the first segment of the game (not even including the dungeon). With the re-release in 2019 and it’s new, bright,…
Video games like The Legend of Zelda are built as massive quests. In each and every game, Link has a final objective, the culmination of all his hard work he will expend during the long hours ahead. Usually, this is a fairly broad goal, or interwoven goals. Rescue the princess. Defeat the Dark Lord. Save…
The Minish Cap was one of my favorite Zelda games, and I still have such fond memories of it. The bright, vivid world of Hyrule it portrayed, the colorful cast of characters it introduced, and the enjoyable new mechanic of shrinking to explore new areas all had me captivated! It’s unfortunate that I was never…
I’m certain by now many of our readers know how passionate I am about cosplaying. I’ve made mention that Link was one of the earliest characters I’ve cosplayed, but I actually did have a different Zelda-themed cosplay long before that. It was my second cosplay, actually. What was it? The Ultimate Zelda Nerd. Back when…
Middle school was a good time in my life for gaming. Sure, I had Pokemon and Smash Bros. in elementary, but in middle school, I was beginning to broaden my horizons with new games, including The Legend of Zelda. While that ultimately became my leading love for all game series, three others made an impression…
The Symphony of the Goddesses live concert was one of the greatest musical experiences I’ve ever had. The music itself was fantastic, but it was not the only factor that made the night memorable. The people who attended, other fans of The Legend of Zelda, filled the atmosphere with laughter, joy, and unity, making the…
I was always that kid who had an extreme passion for video games and other geek culture, but would always get super shy and never mention it in public. I was always afraid that people would make fun of me, and yet I still always engrossed myself in it. I’d always be the one to…
Though it’s coming to an end shortly, it’s one of my most favorite times of year: Shark Week! Why? I love sharks! It’s as simple as that. Realm of Memories is a series where we reflect on our absolute favorite moments in The Legend of Zelda games. These could be the times we first fell…
Before my family owned the Nintendo 64, my only exposure to the Zelda series was through A Link to the Past. As a six-year-old kid, I lacked the bravery required to venture through my own save file, instead deciding to play with my father’s completed adventure. After selecting his file, I started out on top…
Recently I had a strange dream about The Legend of Zelda, and just as I tried to fall back asleep after waking up near its end, I find myself remembering each detail vividly. I’m unable to just fall back asleep, so instead, here I am, writing about this oddness that came to me in a…
I’ve said this many times already, so I’ll give the cliff notes version here: I grew up in the 90’s and I dealt with being bullied for my physical appearance, the way I talked, the way I dressed, and my choice of hobby. As much as people love to praise the 90’s, there were still many…
A Link to the Past has a diverse pool of dungeon bosses. Some of them include an eyeball monster, a three-headed turtle, a big moth, a dinosaur, a wizard, and Ganon. I enjoy finding their weaknesses and figuring out their fighting patterns, but among the numerous fun dungeon bosses in the game, Moldorm stands out as…
As we near the one year anniversary of our beloved Breath of the Wild, I thought it only fitting to share the memories of my first encounter with this game. Breath of the Wild was my taste of open-world gaming, and wow, was I spoiled! As I avoided all but the two main trailers like the plague, little did I know what I was about to behold.
