Middle school is an awkward time for the best of us and, shockingly, I wasn’t the best of us. I wore black ALL the time. My hair was super long and so flat. Like, the flattest hair. I was mad at the government for reasons I couldn’t really explain, but mainly because I liked System…
Link faces all sorts of monsters and foes — both great and small — throughout his heroic journeys across Hyrule and many other kingdoms. He has even faced one of the hardest monsters of all: his own fears and flaws manifested into a dark, mirrored version of himself. However, fighting one’s self is nothing compared…
Happy Halloween! In a time where the spooky and the dangerous are celebrated, we turn our attention away from the heroes and villains that dominate the Zelda story and focus more on the legions of baddies that haunt our every step. By the time we’ve slain our thousandth keese, they seem pretty uneventful, but what…
The Legend of Zelda is renowned for its wondrous and picturesque environments: the vast, untamed wilds where nature reigns supreme, the ancient, dignified temple ruins, or the lively towns filled with friendly folk. But just as memorable as those that are a joy to explore are those that send a shiver down our spines. Sometimes…
For most people, a cup of coffee or tea is enough to give them a head start in their morning. But for sleepyheads like me who could use an extra jolt out of the bed, sometimes a heavy metal track is a useful way to provide a good kick in the pants. After their notorious…
There are some songs we can hear threaded through the waves of our mind and are brought to the surface through the simplest triggers. Like a memory embedded into our soul whispering our heart’s emotions when we first heard that song. The Light Spirit’s theme from Twilight Princess is one such song that has always…
Earlier this year the Twilight Princess manga came to a close, finishing what was by far the biggest and most ambitious Legend of Zelda manga adaptation to date. The artist duo of Akira Himekawa poured every ounce of effort and passion that they had in them across the series’ 11 volumes, delivering a faithful retelling…
Over the years, The Legend of Zelda has produced various forms of media. Some of the most notable are The Legend of Zelda comics from the early 90’s based on the infamous cartoon show. There is also Hyrule Historia, Encyclopedia, and Arts & Artifacts, a book trio that chronicles everything from the first Legend of…
Super Smash Bros. Brawl brought many changes to the Zelda representation. Not only did the Hero of Winds join the roster, but Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf would all have new models based upon their Twilight Princess incarnations. With these new heroes from Twilight Princess, a new stage was needed to match, and a beautiful sunset…
Have you ever seen an artistic recreation of something that you liked and just said “Wow, that’s talented!” That’s how it feels to look at the artwork by Avalon Alessi, known Ncxaesthetic on Reddit. Nxcaesthetic has used various moments in Tears of the Kingdom, as well as other Zelda games such as Twilight Princess and…
Kakariko Village was safe from Twilight. The children should have been safe, and yet the monsters that roamed outside the bounds of Twilight had other plans. The terrifying and vicious King Bulblin charged through the village; the innocent and vulnerable children his target once again. Link should have been there. He should have shielded them…
It’s 2023 and another ZUthon has come to an end. This year, ZUthon: Zelda for Eternity was raising money for AbleGamers. AbleGamers is an amazing organization whose mission is “Creating opportunities that enable play in order to combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.” Founded in 2004…
“To put it lightly, this challenge is the hardest I’ve ever put myself through. I’ve died over 30 times since attempting this, and I get the feeling that’s not going to be the end of it, either.”

I think it’s a fair statement to make that Twilight Princess is one of the most polarizing titles in the lineup of 3D Zelda games, if not the entire series. Some fans wished to deviate from the trends set by the vibrant, whimsically cartoonish Wind Waker and wholeheartedly embraced the new game’s chilling atmosphere and…
Of all the games in the Zelda series, my love of Twilight Princess is second to none. As a fan who became involved with the series during the DS era (with Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks), I did not experience a truly dark Zelda story until I picked up Twilight Princess, and it quickly became…
