Link Meets Festari

Tingle’s Maps: Minish Village

Deep in the Minish Forest lies a small surprise. Well, it’s a big surprise, but small. As in, it’s small size-wise, but big as in it’s another race of sentient beings. Of course, The Minish Cap is full of small big surprises, but this is the first time Link actually gets to meet his new…

Tingle’s Maps: Suthorn Ruins

Echoes of Wisdom opens like any other Zelda game ends. Link, wearing a brand new cape, traverses through a typical dungeon. An enemy here, a puzzle there… basic stuff.

Tingle’s Maps: Eastern Temple (Echoes of Wisdom)

The latest entry, Echoes of Wisdom, offers a wondrous overworld for our new protagonist, the titular Zelda herself, to explore. One of the most enjoyable aspects of a good Zelda game is discovering optional dungeons, which makes you feel like a true adventurer, taking on unexpected challenges.
