Link had quickly grown fond of Romani Ranch and the people who call it home, so he is dedicated to preventing these creatures — regardless of their seemingly infinite numbers — from harassing his friends and ruining their lives. The lights, they come from all sides. It’s an eerie radiance that emits from their empty…
Link has navigated some truly difficult terrains in his many lifetimes — active volcanoes, zombie-infested crypts, and desolate deserts just to name a few, all of which have tested his courage. Then there’s the Southern Swamp in Majora’s Mask, which tested his photography skills. But despite the touristy nature of the swamp boat cruise, which…
There is so much for Link to consider in this moment: Where he was in life at one time, where he is in life now, what he has been through, what he has accomplished, who he has fought, who he has helped, and many other such questions pour into his mind as he stands at…
You’ve heard the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words,” but how many musical notes is it worth? Being able to convey not just a story but also a melody in a work of art is truly unique, and that’s what I’ve found in this beautiful piece of Majora’s Mask fan art by Melissa…
Breath of the Wild focuses mostly on Hyrule a hundred years after Calamity Ganon had brought destruction to the kingdom, but it occasionally lets the player see glimpses of a past life through Link’s flashbacks. Little is known about our hero’s life and who he was before he became Princess Zelda’s appointed knight. Much is…
In Breath of the Wild, you can find many diaries hidden throughout the world that offer additional insight into many of its cast of characters, including the Champions and Princess Zelda. My favorite diary entry may be from Zelda’s own tome that you can find in the ruins of her room in Hyrule Castle. In…
Legend of Zelda games, especially the more epic titles like Breath of the Wild, are all about escaping into distinct fantasy worlds. Naturally, then, it is only appropriate that people would try to blend their escape into the magical world of Zelda with the equally amazing escape into the magical world of LEGO. LEGO artists…
Imagine Link’s delight when venturing through the Snowpeak Ruins and coming across a friendly couple of yetis — Yeto and Yeta — who not only allow him to explore the ruins, but even offer him a portion of their nourishing soup. We can all relate to this aspect of Link’s adventuring: when working, we often…
The Forest Temple frightened me as a child. Before entering it, two Wolfos with glowing eyes appeared from nowhere and scared me quite a lot, though I soon learned that they were pretty harmless. But then, when I came to the dungeon’s main room, I learned that the place was haunted by four Poe Sisters.…
So, this is hard. I’ve been following the artist Qinni (Qing Han) for several months now. She was a very talented, very funny young artist who would tweet out her art and thoughts for any and all who were willing to take the time to look and listen. Qinni was also a four-time open heart…
As a high school English teacher, I often see the effects of stress on teenagers. At times, my students have raged, cried, and broken down because of the heavy weight put upon them by their parents, coaches, and themselves. During these moments, I do my best to remind my students that they need to take…
Me, later this year in December: “Dear Santa. Gimme.” I have a question for you. When the people who know me best ask what my favorite console is, what answer do you think I give? That was a trick question, because the people who know me best know me for being the guy who won’t…
Link is the most beautiful vai who has ever lived — this is an indisputable fact. And you know what? He knows it. He pulls off that dainty vai disguise effortlessly, strutting around Gerudo Town showing off his “voe-ish” figure — to quote how one of the local Gerudo unwittingly describes him — acting like…
There are things I used to do in my childhood that I no longer spend time doing, like trying to learn new yo-yo tricks or playing with Perler beads. Not because I don’t want to, but rather because life and responsibilities came between and, if I have to be completely honest, because I’m too lazy…
From the very beginning, the Zelda series has taught us that it’s dangerous to go alone. Whether it’s with a trusty sword and shield by our side or with the help of a partner, it’s easier to overcome challenges with help. Despite the overwhelming number of enemies and puzzles that stand between Link and victory,…
