Yuga’s Art Gallery: Twilight Princess’s Renaissance Art

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: A quick respite

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: The Iridescent

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).…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Song of Storms

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: The Silent Princess

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Western Hyrule

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Treasure ho!

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: On the road to Death Mountain

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: The Great Hyrule Forest

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: The adorable Malon and Epona

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…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Magic Elven Armor

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…
