Waiting. Ugh, waiting. The anticipation of something good to come, sometimes known as the opposite of happiness. When it comes to video games, waiting is something that happens all too frequently.

One can learn all sorts of valuable life lessons simply by listening to their elders as they recount their experiences,…
Back in 2010, ZREO teased their largest project, Twilight Symphony. Following a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2011, the album was a highly anticipated fan project. While it did receive a limited physical run, it was, unfortunately, not possible to officially release it to digital storefronts at the time. A lot has changed in the last…
I recently picked up Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition for the first time, and in my excitement, I quickly slashed my way through the entire main story with little hesitation. So quickly, in fact, that when it was all over, I couldn’t help but feel as if I had missed out on a large portion of…
Link and Midna have obtained every piece of the Mirror of Twilight, they’ve defeated Zant, and they’ve liberated the Twilight Realm — all that’s left is the highly anticipated confrontation with Ganondorf.

Before we dive into today’s memory, there is something important that you should know about me: I tend to get lost a lot. But not to the extent that you shouldn’t let me wander off or else I’ll never find my way home again. Let me put it this way: if you tell me to…
Growing up with the Zelda series means that I have encountered my fair share of reoccurring characters. Beloved individuals like Tingle and Beedle are some of the first that come to mind, but one of my personal favorites would have to be the indefatigable mailman.

Club Nintendo used to be the coolest thing ever. The system was simple: you would buy a game, redeem the points from said game, collect the points up, and then have an exclusive Nintendo reward sent straight to your house. Shipping was free (I remember this because I didn’t have a credit card), and in…

The various races encountered throughout Hyrule often have distinct personalities and cultures that become significant to the player as they journey across the land, usually by visiting local shops or embarking on side quests.

Gold and black illuminate the world, and the sky is awash in hues that belong to neither day nor night. They say that the twilight hour is one of magic and wonder, and yet darkness and danger are all that seem to fill this world. Shadows rise from the ground, shifting the world from one…
A great way to capture a Zelda game’s essence is to depict one of its more memorable moments or themes in a work of art. What do you think of when you see A Link Between Worlds? For me, I think of the unique art style and Link walking on walls. And The Minish Cap?…
Approaching a final boss battle in any game is nerve-wracking. You’ve worked so hard to get here, putting in any number of hours to approach this final door/entryway/random patch of grass.
