From the moment Link first equipped that adorable Gerudo attire in Breath of the Wild, the landscape of Gerudo fan art changed forever. All you have to do is search for “Gerudo Link” and you’ll see a flood of amazing fan art, ranging from adorable to badass (with a few creepy ones sprinkled in between).…
This may be one of the most common cliches of all time, but I used to daydream about flying as a kid. Soaring in the skies, free to go where I please — it was that sense of freedom I wished I could have instead of being cooped up inside the classroom all day. Sure,…
Last month, in our weeklong, 30th-anniversary celebration of the Game Boy, I explored some trivia regarding the incredibly rare Zelda Edition of the Game Boy Camera. The elusive accessory included Ocarina of Time pictures and stamps which were only available on the limited Zelda Edition. While we got a small glimpse of what they look like (again,…
The latest patch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was recently released, and with it came an abundance of new features for the game. Nintendo added content such as the new character Joker, an editing option for replays, and new Mii Fighter costumes. But for the purpose of this article, I’m going to explore the new Stage Builder…
The hero always wins, right? Link defeats Ganon time and time again, and good will always triumph over evil: that’s the bread and butter of the Zelda series. So, it’s difficult to digest the thought of losing your quest in a Zelda game — of Link being defeated. Seeing anything, whether it’s fan art or…
Special editions of game systems have always been incredibly popular with gamers. There’s something incredibly fun about sporting a handheld, controller, or console that showcases a love of a certain game or franchise. Or, sometimes it is nice to own a device that is simply a different color than everyone else’s for the sake of…
For decades now, there has been a heated debate about whether or not graffiti can be considered art or just vandalism. I for one think, as long as it’s not violating any private property, graffiti absolutely can be a work of art. I have seen many, many murals in my life all around my hometown…
I’ve always liked the friendship established between Link and Saria in Ocarina of Time. You can tell just from the extremely brief moments they spend together in-game that they’re great friends. I like to think Link especially is happy to have Saria as a friend, considering how he seemed to be isolated from his fellow…
Some of the most memorable scenes in Skyward Sword for me are those when you have completed a dungeon and Fi graces you with a dance. She does this as she conveys an ancient message from Hylia, accompanied by a moving rendition of “Ballad of the Goddess”. Her fluid movements and graceful spins linger on…
Few games marry whimsy and creepiness together as well as Majora’s Mask does. The game’s narrative, themes, settings, and characters all have incredible designs in regards to the implementation of this dynamic. This was most clear when Link finally made his way to Ikana Canyon and met all of the spooky-yet-charming specters who inhabited this…
It’s easy to think of many Zelda fans as old-timers who grew up with A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and even Twilight Princess. But every now and then, I see something that reminds me of how Zelda continues to reach every new generation with another one of Link’s adventures. I recently stumbled upon…
Now I’m sure that many people who saw one before the other certainly thought to themselves, “Hey, that Nabbit guy looks like Ravio” or “Hey, Ravio looks kind of like Nabbit”. I was one of those myself when I first encountered Nabbit in Smash 4, not being able to resist comparing the similarities in design…
The Wind Waker is one of my favorite Zelda games of all time. Tetra has always been such a fascinating character for me, and when I saw this beautiful art of Tetra and Zelda together by papelmarfil, I couldn’t help but share it with all of you. I love the way that each character’s eyes glow…
The Great Fairies of Breath of the Wild are truly something to behold. These larger-than-life characters are just brimming with charisma and mystique and it’s always exciting to visit them on your journey to save Hyrule. In this game, the fairies have been given a fabulous makeover which can brilliantly be seen in rongs1234’s artwork,…
Will I ever get bored of talking about Gerudo from throughout the Zelda series? Not as long as talented artists keep producing powerful portraits of them, like this stunning watercolor art of Urbosa and Riju by Denouu. After all, we need more women warriors in games and other artistic media, and we need incredible fan…
