First of all, we need to get something out of the way: Is it pronounced “giff” or “jiff? Well, while you argue about it with your nearest colleague, have a look at this simple yet amazing animated tribute to A Link to the Past, created by director, illustrator and animator Greg Gunn, as part of the…
When I played Majora’s Mask as a kid, I was mesmerised by how real the characters felt. They conveyed real, relatable fears, problems, and in particular feelings of loss and grief that everyone experiences at some point in their life. I grieved for Anju, mourned for Lulu, felt heartbroken for Darmani, and so many others.…
It comes as no surprise to anyone who has read my work that I absolutely adored Breath of the Wild. It’s one of those games I can see myself going back and playing through multiple times, maybe even playing it once a year like I do with some of my all-time favorites. One thing that stood…
Although Link is an iconic character in his own right, the titular Zelda herself is just as iconic. I always liked Zelda as a character more than most princesses in fiction simply because she’s not content to just sit around and allow things to happen. If anything she’s the primary reason Link can even succeed…
I don’t need to tell you that Majora’s Mask is a creepy game. But the Majora’s Mask itself is still the most unsettling thing in all of Termina, closely followed by the Moon, Pamela’s father as a Gibdo, and that feeling when you know the Great Bay Temple is next. I know that the mask’s appearance may not…
I don’t know about you guys, but after a long day of slaying Moblins and Stalfos, I’ve usually got an appetite the size of Jabu Jabu. With the amount of monster hunting our heroes often do in games, I always appreciate scenes that show them enjoying a well-deserved meal. Although the Zelda series is not…
I’m going to be honest: When the WiiU came out, I wasn’t impressed. Combine that with not having a source of income at the time, and I never actually ended up owning one. When Hyrule Warriors was announced, however, I immediately regretted not saving up any excess financial aid I had in college for it. I’ve…
I always enjoy seeing a calm scene where the hero takes a break from all the monster slaying and princess saving to just sit and relax for a moment. Now it is the turn of Ocarina of Time Link, accompanied by Sheik, sharing a peaceful night in the forest. The lighting is something I truly admire…
After the humanized version of Kass from a previous post, now it is time to take a look at another way of cosplaying as him. A full on costume may not require the inventiveness to adapt an animal-like character into a human body or a set of clothing, but the work and dedication to develop…
When I think of the CD-i Zelda games, the first thing to come to mind are the hilariously corny lines of dialogue. Even if you haven’t played the games for yourself, they are very well known and often quoted. While these lines are funny enough on their own, artist FlintofMother3 takes it a step further…
I’m not sure whether I felt drawn to this Ganondorf fan art by Vestergaard because I’m in the mood to replay The Wind Waker (thanks to a hot weekend we had here in the UK recently), or because I recently watched Avengers: Infinity War and felt intrigued by a humanised villain. Either way, it’s a…
One of the concepts that interested me when A Link Between Worlds was announced was the inclusion of an alternate reality with counterparts to Hyrule, especially since we got to see Zelda’s parallel early on. Even before the game’s release, we were already getting wonderful fan art of Hilda and Zelda together, like nna’s piece,…
Breath of the Wild fanart is all over the internet, and one can find talent in a wide variety of places. For example, a few days ago I was browsing some memes website when I came across a post by user SEN, who decided to upload a piece of fanart made by himself. A gorgeous and…
Now that spring is gradually making its way here, I’m itching to go out and take long walks along the nearby river and surrounding wooded areas. There’s something so enthralling and therapeutic about wandering amongst nature, absorbing all its wonderful sounds and sights. I think this is why I adore Breath of the Wild as…
For those of you who are regular readers of this site, you might already know that I really like Zelda II. It was an experimental title for the series and compared to a lot of NES games of its time, it was leagues better in terms of quality than most other games. It was also my first Zelda game that…
