One of our earliest looks at The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild came from the E3 2014 trailer. After a brief moment of peace, the trailer bursts into a nonstop rush of movement as a Guardian pursues the hero, spraying laser fire wildly in an attempt to destroy him. Despite the speed of…
No one will argue that Breath of the Wild goes easy on you at the start. On top of skipping out on a traditional tutorial, your three tiny hearts will be depleted by nearly everything in the game if you’re not careful. From encounters with monsters big and small to powerful and deadly weather to…
I remember once hearing the writer of an animated show saying something along the lines of, “Great stories come from unlikely pairings.” Well, this is definitely the case in my latest pick for Yuga’s Art Gallery. Who would have thought Twilight Princess and Untitled Goose Game would make for such a hilarious combination? Artist Anilede…
Of all the incarnations of the eponymous princess I’ve seen throughout the Zelda series, the sensitive and inquisitive scholar from Breath of the Wild is the one I feel the most sympathy for. Zelda’s 17 years of life prior to Calamity Ganon’s takeover were filled with more tragedy and heartache than any teenager should be…
Black History Month has always possessed a dual nature. It is a time of celebration for how far we, as a society, have progressed in the march towards racial equality, and a time to honor the amazing individuals throughout history who led that march. But it is also a time of reckoning for how society…
I love sweets. Chocolates, pastries, baklava, you name it: As long as it’s sweet, it will most likely end up in my tummy. But under rare, unfortunate events when I don’t have anything sweet waiting for me in the kitchen cupboard, I often search for images of sweets instead, or even videos, although I know…
Ever since his first appearance, Ganon has been terrifying. From his original appearance where he attacked you while invisible to the nightmare fuel of his sinister laughter in The Adventure of Link’s game over screen, the porcine perpetrator is constantly there to haunt the gamer’s waking hours. Even the sight of the spectral Dark Beast…
Ever since I found out Ravio’s little “secret,” so many fun ideas popped into my head of funny little scenarios he and Link could get into. A costume swap was among them, and I’m so happy to see the idea brought to life by ChinguCosplay! ChinguCosplay has such a unique, distinct style, working mainly with…
The Great Calamity and the 100 years of ensuing misery and sorrow likely put a pretty heavy damper on the holiday spirit in Hyrule. Yet, in one corner of the wilderness, seemingly unfazed by Ganon’s spreading malice, our hero defies the humbuggery and finds a way to be festive. In December of 2016, Nintendo released…
As a character, Zelda often falls victim to the common struggles of the princesses many of us were told about when we were younger. She’s kidnapped, locked away, told to stay away from danger, and assigned unwanted knights to protect her. Surely, she would love some time alone to research or have fun somewhere she…
There’s a reason the Great Bay has “Great” in its title. It’s not only one of the most memorable areas to explore in Majora’s Mask, but it has also remained a fan favorite stage in the Super Smash Bros. series since its Melee debut almost 20 years ago. Whether your first Great Bay experience involved…
As a new student in game design and graphics, I’ve yet to try my hand at pixel art, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to try for at least a couple of months now, or perhaps even a year. If I were to try it now, I wouldn’t know where to start and my pixel…
They say that the best way to exercise mindfulness is to close your eyes and listen to the ocean waves rolling in and out. To feel the sun’s rays beating on your back until it burns through to the soul whilst inhaling the soft sea breeze and exhaling forgotten troubles. At this moment, as the…
Princess Mipha of the Zora Tribe exudes such regality and grace, though don’t let that fool you. She is just as much a fearsome warrior as she is a refined princess.
From the moment that Nintendo released the trailer for the sequel to Breath of the Wild, many fans (including myself) have been waiting with bated breath to see if Link and Zelda will both be playable. While the concept of Zelda traveling alongside Link was featured a little bit in Spirit Tracks, fans want to…
