The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is, at long last, available to play on the Switch. As you might assume, and assume correctly, I am a Zelda fanatic, so I’ve spent these past few days in a welcomed and Zelda-focused state of excitement. The more Zelda, the better. This of course means I’m looking at…
Since The Legend of Zelda TV series aired before A Link to the Past released, the Master Sword was not yet introduced as Link’s definitive weapon. This meant that Link had a sword in The Legend of Zelda TV series which, while its ability to zap enemies was inspired by the original Legend of Zelda…
Although the general consensus about Breath of the Wild’s Divine Beasts is that they were unsatisfying Zelda dungeons, no one can deny that their designs are awe-inspiring and leave lasting presences in the world of Hyrule. When I saw the incredible sculptures that GizmoForge makes and sells of the four Divine Beasts on their Etsy…
I’ve never been much for cosplay, but I cannot dismiss the talent put on display through these creative outfits. And sometimes, the skill catches me by surprise. That’s why I’m compelled to share this amazing depiction of Impa from Hyrule Warriors. Also, to ignore this cosplay would be to disregard Impa. And even if she’s…
Living around the mountains in a small tourist town, it isn’t out of the ordinary to see wood carvings of the various fauna to some degree. One can easily spot a bear spawned from the massive trunk of a once living-and-thriving tree or even small carvings dedicated to remnants of the Native American heritage that…
The hype that I have for the Link’s Awakening remake has been bottled up and it can no longer be contained. Every single screenshot, gameplay video, new feature, and everything else make me more and more excited. Link’s Awakening was, like for many I’d imagine, my first foray into the mostly wonderful world of handheld…
How did someone take 90 percent of the life during the early 2000s and cram it into one image? I never thought I’d see art like this, let alone discuss art like this in an article, but here I am. Artist Autobiotic has made something truly special here: Link and Goku squaring off at the…
When Sidon first flashed his spectacular smile at us in Breath of the Wild, so many fan-girls (and fanboys; let’s not discriminate) collectively swooned. Looking more shark than Zora, Prince Sidon is definitely one of the more strapping Zoras, but before he grew old enough to flex his fins, he was also one of the…
Anyone who knows me well enough knows that one of my favorite game series is Disgaea. Obviously, The Legend of Zelda is a close second, or an equivalent. It’s to the point, however, that my entire online existence has strongly correlated to Disgaea. “LaharlKun” was even one of the first usernames. Back in 2004, it…
Legend of Zelda games are known for their amazing and memorable boss fights, and The Wind Waker’s assortment of monsters certainly make the short list when it comes to best of the best. The bosses of Wind Waker are amazing spectacles that blend the game’s narrative, gameplay, and challenge into their intense encounters. While it is one…
The Wind Waker is my favorite video game bar none. I’m a purist about it (I won’t even do speedruns of it), but the things fans can find to do with the game are always entertaining. Mods are some of the most notable examples, and AaronTheSnob’s reskin of Toon Link as Solid Snake hits the…
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a game all about larger-than-life moments. Meeting the Great Deku Tree, stepping out into Hyrule Field for the first time, and climbing Death Mountain are great examples of this, but in many ways, they pale in comparison to the intensity of the game’s bosses and the battles…
In what looks like a page straight out of a children’s book, Dottie Torres (aka Gimmeswords) takes us underwater to see an absolutely iconic scene from Ocarina of Time — the moment when Link dove into Hyrule Castle’s moat to fish out the magical ocarina. It was then that his future instantly changed forever, literally.…
The Zelda series seems to be heading in a really refreshing direction in terms of its female protagonists. We got both Zelda and Cadence as playable characters in Cadence of Hyrule, and speculation is already wildly circulating about whether Zelda will be playable in the Breath of the Wild sequel. Regardless of whether she is…
The relationship between Link and Zelda always tends to be the same in most games. Link is from a small village while Zelda grows up in royalty. The two meet by some twist of fate, and Zelda gives Link his grand quest. Within this, it’s often difficult to really see any sort of relationship between…
