Look, Phantom Hourglass gets a lot of hate for literally no reason. I will argue until the day I die that Phantom Hourglass is an incredible, completely flawless game. Seriously, it’s flawless. Except for the Ocean King segments, and the controls, and — well, a few other things. Look, I understand the criticisms, I just…
Hello, it’s me – the resident Gerudo nerd again. I love any and all Gerudo fan art, portraying any version of the Gerudo, and I’m particularly drawn to pieces that celebrate their characteristics of strength, fierceness, and beauty. Every now and then, though, I see a refreshing representation of their race and fall in love…
Zelda games are intricate creations fused together. From the often innovative gameplay, to the complex and occasionally confounding dungeons, to the memorable stories, each piece adds to what makes a great Zelda game. Artistically-DE creates a work of similar intricacy in their piece of art titled “What’s Gonna Happen…” by marrying together multiple types of…
Drip… Drop… Drip, drip… drop. The rain patters on the small land of the Minish. The grass grows damp, the dirt softens to mud, and the mushrooms shield all underneath their cap from the heavy droplets from above. A single glimmer of sunlight glistens over the forest. Loose droplets catch the light and sparkle like…
Fear of the unknown is something that we all have. Whether it is moving to a new city or even just walking into a building you haven’t been in before. If you’re like me, you scout for the closest fire exits, see which windows are closest to the ground, what objects around you can be…
One of the most fascinating characters introduced in A Link Between Worlds is Ravio. This bunny-hooded hero spends the majority of the game renting items to Link in order to help the Hero of Hyrule complete his quest. It’s only at the end of the game that players learn that Ravio is actually Link’s Lorulean…
Age of Calamity brought to life the past of many characters from Breath of the Wild, and gave players the opportunity to explore the war that ravaged Hyrule one hundred years ago. One of those characters Wwas a younger version of Impa, wielding the magical abilities of the Sheikah, and proving once again that Impa…
A Link to the Past has one of the most moody and atmospheric openings in all of Zelda, save for Majora’s Mask. It’s raining and you’re all alone in an empty house after waking from troubled dreams. You follow your uncle, only to find him stuck at the bottom of a hole, seemingly dying. It’s…
The fairies of The Legend of Zelda series have been depicted in a few different ways. From the glowing winged balls of light appearing in the majority of Zelda games to those sad little humanoids dressed in white seen in The Wind Waker. We also can’t forget the Great Fairies bathing in their various fountains.…
I’ve only played Twilight Princess once. I played it on my old GameCube in my freshman year of college. Basically, I had to rush through it because I set a goal to finish it before the end of the school year…and I started in April. So, I don’t really remember a whole lot from the…
As I began yet another playthrough of Ocarina of Time recently, I was surprised how often Ganondorf was referred to as the “man from the desert” in the opening hour or so of the game. Each time, it seemed like the game was almost trying to tie the arid desert land with the death and…
Rain patters down, doing little to extinguish the flames of the guardian’s fire. Embers float in the wind coating the air with the stench of destruction. Guardians search, with their once peaceful blue turned to red, embracing the calamity. Link, her knight, her hero, struggles to stand. The once mighty Master Sword pierces into the…
My original draft of this article was literally just “HOW CUTE IS THIS?” over and over again, but my editors said that, while accurate, I actually need to write something about the piece. So, here’s my second draft. We are all fans of cute things. Whether they be Koroks or kittens, adorable animals and creatures…
Hidden well within Faron, the Malanya Springs ripples softly, humming with undying power. Deep inside, a god waits, watching over the creatures of its name. Whether galloping fiercely or resting at an inn, Malanya watched every horse. He knows when they’re loved. He knows when they’re killed. And he will harm any who dare to…
When first playing Ocarina of Time, every appearance of Sheik leaves both Link and the player with a common question: who was that masked man? While that question is answered by the end of the game, early attempts to puzzle out its solution elude us as Sheik is always quick to disappear with the snap…
