Though it might be debatable to call it a true species, what is undeniable is that the Beamos is one of the most iconic enemy types from The Legend of Zelda. These stationary foes are seemingly self-aware and have a long history of preventing would-be heroes from freely traversing dungeon pathways. A Link to the…
Autumn is by far my favorite season. The sun starts to set earlier and earlier as the colors in the trees change to a beautiful burning orange. As we approach the shortest and darkest days of the year, we replace crisp Summer evenings with cozy nights spent around bright fires, snuggled in thick woolly blankets…
If I have any flaws — a debatable position, I assure you — it might be a distinct lack of patience. It’s true, I just don’t like to wait. When presented with two options, one immediate, one delayed, I’ll often choose the former even if the latter option might be better in the long run.…
Ilia is Mayor Bo’s daughter and a favorite resident among the Ordonian villagers. And she is also Link’s oldest and dearest friend. Ilia and Link have always had a close relationship, and though it goes unspoken, it is obvious to everyone who knows them well. No one comes between them. Well, no one except maybe…
As the first light of dawn creeps over the mountain peaks surrounding Ordon Village, the chirps from the birds in the trees and the bellows from the goats on the ranch serve as signals to all that the day is ready to begin. Life is peaceful in Ordona Providence. The bustle of Hyrule Castle Town…
Sometimes you have to make your own fun in video games. The Legend of Zelda fans are pros at this, always able to find all kinds of ways to manipulate in-game content to create unexpected challenges and experiences. Years before we got to experiment to our hearts’ content in the giant playground that is Breath…
Given the narrative history of using monstrous spiders in fantasy tales, it was only natural that an enemy would be created for The Legend of Zelda series that followed this pattern. The Skulltula, an arachnid beast that is meant to intimidate players, has held a prominent place in the Zelda bestiary for more than twenty…
Link is a good boy. Link has always been a good boy. He does kind deeds for others while asking for nothing in return, and will fight life and limb for a stranger he just met. This applies to every incarnation of the hero, but the example that always springs to my mind is Link…
The characters from the original Legend of Zelda don’t say much, but what they do say is highly memorable. Among the most recognizable quotes is “It’s a secret to everybody,” uttered to Link by a Moblin in hiding. Versions of this iconic phrase have become a recurring Easter egg in the Zelda series (and in…
Summer Games Done Quick 2020 is now underway, taking place on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel. As with the previous event in April, SGDQ is taking place as an online-only event. This means that, unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there is once again no in-person convention this year. However, that doesn’t stop…
Have you ever met a character in a Zelda game who feels like they are out of place in their world? These are characters, like Tingle, who is strange no matter what game he appears in. Or perhaps like the Happy Mask Salesman of Majora’s Mask whose energy feels almost too sinister, even in the…
Beautiful. Schemer. Intelligent. Manipulator. Regal. Coward. Midna, the eponymous Princess of Twilight, appears to be many things throughout Link’s journey in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Yet, most of those things are only discovered during Link’s interactions with Midna after she’s been cursed and introduced to him in her impish form. So, let’s take…
The Legend of Zelda games have always been a part of me as I grew up with them, as I’m sure many others can relate. I used to watch my brothers play them before I got to try myself, I read some of the Valiant comics in old magazines we bought from a second-hand store,…
The Bokoblins, smaller and weaker relatives of the ever-threatening Moblins, have served as standard enemies of Link’s in many of his adventures. Vicious and able to demonstrate varying levels of intelligence, these monsters are not to be dismissed when traversing the many versions of Hyrule. The Bokoblins made their first appearance in 2003’s The Wind…
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of the most mysterious entries in the entire franchise. The world has some deep lore surrounding its characters, stories, and locations.
