Saying goodbye to Saria, seeing his baby sister get kidnapped, and pretty much the entirety of Majora’s Mask is terribly heartbreaking, but the tragedy is what drives the story and compels Link to begin his adventure. This…
Now that Nintendo has announced that Twilight Princess character Agitha, the Princess of Bugs, is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, I thought it would be only fitting to feature the young royal in this week’s Fanart Friday.

It’s no surprise that each new installment in the Zelda series features various allusions to previous titles. The Adventure of Link is often considered to be the black sheep in the series, but contains various elements that would become staple in later games in the series such as the Magic Meter and the inclusion of…
