The Super Smash Bros. franchise welcomed Gerudo Valley as a new stage in its installment for the Nintendo 3DS (along with Spirit Train, giving the Zelda series two new representations). Gerudo Valley, a location from Ocarina of Time, would go on to be one of the nine stages featured from the Zelda universe in Super…
Earlier this week, you may have noticed some sort of shift in your life. Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it, but you know that something has happened to make your outlook on life a little bit better. Indeed, on Monday, March 20th, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere were treated to…
Clock Town is probably one of those places that every Zelda player feels like they know inside and out. Majora’s Mask’s central hub conjures nostalgic memories for all who have visited it, even if they’ve never played through the full game. That song that you hear the moment you enter South Clock town is probably…
The Face Shrine is the sixth of Link’s Awakening’s eight dungeons. It is where you find the Powerful Bracelet, a tool used for lifting exceptionally heavy objects, and the Coral Triangle, one of the shimmering musical instruments that Link will need to perform the Wind Fish’s symphonic ballad. Functionally, it is a rather standard Zelda…
Breath of the Wild is full of memorable locations, each with a unique history and purpose. Of the many Shrines scattered across this forlorn version of Hyrule, three of the most memorable have to be the mystical Springs of Courage, Power, and Wisdom. As you may have guessed, each one represents a different piece of…
I spend a lot of time thinking about Princess Zelda, along with The Legend of Zelda as a whole. If you visit our website and read our articles, maybe you do too. In most of the games, we view the barest glimpses of her personality. We know her general story and what drives her, but…
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…
On the surface, Kakariko Village from Ocarina of Time resembles a small, sleepy town with Cuccos on the loose and carpenters running back and forth. Even the famous windmill spins slowly. One could assume that the village would attract more visitors than it does, being located so close to Castle Town. Mountain views, lots of…
Majora’s Mask had much to capitalize on after the wild success of Ocarina of Time. As many know, the development team had little time to work on this sequel, which is why, instead of having seven or eight main dungeons like in most Zelda games, we only got four. However, Majora’s Mask is “quality over…
The Minish Cap features a completely different Hyrule than any we have ever seen before. It’s a world full of extremely interesting locations. Our central hub is a bustling town square, filled to the brim with things to do and books to check out. We get to traverse Hyrule Castle, which is massive for a…
We all know the arresting effect Breath of the Wild’s natural environment had on us at one point or another. Within its vast fields and forests, there’s something spectacular to behold for players of all sensibilities, ranging from the epic to the serene. I’m partial to both, but when it comes to one of my…
Hateno Village has an all-encompassing comfort to it and that remains true regardless how often I’ve visited it. The castle and its acrid malice is hidden behind Neculda’s mountain ranges, making Hateno’s crisp scenery a purposeful reprieve for the player. And when he first arrives, Link can seek refuge from his long journey by staying…
The skyscraping Eagle’s Tower is the seventh dungeon in Link’s Awakening. Shortly after defeating the pathetic final boss of the Face Shrine and collecting the Coral Triangle, the Legendary Hero is called to the mountains in order to locate the last two instruments and finally awaken the Wind Fish. After Link makes a few stops to…
Hot take alert: The Moblins are secretly the main antagonists of the 2D Zelda games. Well, at least a few of them are. In Link’s Awakening and the Oracle games, they are pig-like kidnappers who rally around some sort of king or gang leader. They often pose a bigger threat to the people of Labrynna…
When I first played Majora’s Mask, I intentionally avoided entering Sakon’s Hideout until the very end, since I wanted Anju and Kafei’s reunion to serve as my farewell to the game. I had formed a picture in my mind of what the thief’s hideout would look like, so when I finally entered the hideout, I…
