Oh, the Renaissance. Such a great time for art of all kinds: music, architecture, and especially painting. I’m impressed by how styles have changed from disproportionate structures and adult-sized babies to an incredible realism and detail that may even compare to modern day photography. But while this is all impressive on its own by capturing…
The spooky season is now upon us! And what Zelda game is more appropriate to talk about than Majora’s Mask? It doesn’t hold back on its unsettling motifs and creepy designs, and that’s exactly why we love it. It’s why every other piece of Majora’s Mask fan art magnifies the creepy elements of the game:…
New York Comic-Con is my favorite time of year! There’s so much to love about it — The people, the vendors, the panels, and my personal favorite, the cosplay. The Legend of Zelda has always been well represented at this convention in the past, so this year I wanted to celebrate them with an article…
With all the hype surrounding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I’ve begun to skim through different pieces of fan art for this new title. One of my favorite characters in Super Smash is Zelda, and I couldn’t contain my excitement when I first stumbled upon her new design for the upcoming game. I fell in love…
My first time playing Majora’s Mask is an experience I’ll never forget. I still remember the excitement of getting to control Link after the opening, only for him to be wrested from my hand and suddenly controlling the newly transformed Deku Link instead. That, combined with the new and spunky fairy partner Tatl, made the…
The Great Fairies of Zelda have always captivated me. They are beautiful beings with mystical powers that one could only dream of; what’s not to love about them? My favorite of the variations would most certainly have to be from The Wind Waker (though the one from Twilight Princess makes for a very close second).…
It’s been raining harshly around my city. It’s not a natural disaster or anything, but where I live is a very dry region and as such, the city’s infrastructure is not prepared for heavy rains so it gets very flooded and it is total chaos. Basically, this place turns into a Water Temple every time it…
Although I personally feel that Breath of the Wild’s iteration of Zelda has some flaws, she’s one of my favorites in the series. It’s a shame that we didn’t get to see more of her elegant yet headstrong personality in the game, as throughout the series, she is too often relegated to the role of…
When I play Zelda, I play for the world. Not the world-building (although that’s fun too), but for the simple pleasures of exploring the vast, beautiful landscape of Hyrule. Indeed, I think Miyamoto concurs, “Zelda has an epic story and all, but the truth is, to me it’s all about hiking.” Yuga’s Art Gallery is a…
The iteration of Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild is easily one of my favorites. It could be just because she had an active role in the story and because I looked forward to viewing the memory sequences to see more of her character, but it also has a lot to do with her personality. She’s…
I must admit, I was quite disappointed with Phantom Hourglass when I bought it. With The Wind Waker being such a great game with many fond memories attached to it, to have such a sub-par sequel made me rather upset. However, there was one good thing to come out of this game (in my humble…
With its tumbling rocks, boiling heat, and difficult-to-scale passes, Death Mountain certainly lives up to its name. However, its inhabitants are truly what define it: the Gorons. While they’re not my favorite race (that’s firmly reserved for the Gerudo), I enjoy seeing their different iterations in each new Zelda game. They’re arguably the most fleshed…
If you ask me, there’s no better way to celebrate The Legend of Zelda than to take a deeper look into the Great Hyrule Forest. This forest is definitely one of my favorite locations in Breath of the Wild. The amount of detail that is put into this forest is incredible, and it transports the player…
One of the best things about the two Nintendo 64 Zelda titles, in my opinion, is the great cast of characters and their personalities. Though your interaction with these characters tends to be short, you get a real feel of who they are and what they believe and more just based on the little time you…
When Skyrim came out on the Switch, I finally got to try my hand at this game that everyone had raved about, and I instantly fell in love. While the gameplay of Skyrim and The Legend of Zelda are surprisingly quite different, I could still imagine what it would be like if these two worlds were…
