In the final installment of our extensive look at the monsters in The Legend of Zelda TV series, we feature five enemies that only starred in a single episode. As short as their screentime may have been, their inclusion in the cartoon was no less surprising or exciting. The fact that the creators featured these…
Next up in our examination of The Legend of Zelda cartoon’s broad bestiary, we have another mix of recognizable and obscure creatures from the game series. Some of these foes make the smallest of the cameos, while others drive entire episodes forward. Some are a breeze for Link and Zelda to defeat, while others prove…
So, you’ve played a lot of Zelda. You’ve played everything in the mainline series, you’ve indulged in all the spin-offs, and you’ve even played the infamous CD-i games (or at least watched playthroughs of them online; we’ll let you off with that). But have you played The Legend of Zelda DVD’s Trivia Game? No? And…
Having aired in an era before the internet integrated itself deeply into our culture, and due to not being the greatest success, it’s difficult to find promotional material for The Legend of Zelda TV series 30 years after it beamed its way into the hearts of young Nintendo fans. The people of YouTube rarely disappoint…
The Legend of Zelda TV series has a ton of fearsome faces you’ll recognize as a fan of the games, and that’s most evident in this second batch of beasties.

The enemies are by far my favorite aspect of The Legend of Zelda TV series. If you’ve caught any of our retrospective series of articles so far, you may have seen me get very excited whenever new monsters get introduced in an episode. Being the real stars of the show, I felt it was only…
Say what you will about the writing and dialogue of The Legend of Zelda TV series, but I think the voice acting is honestly pretty good for its time. Cynthia Preston, who voices Princess Zelda, is a particular standout, bringing ferocity to the role when the character is engaged in combat as well as a…
With The Legend of Zelda TV series being a common target of criticism amongst many fans of the game franchise, the idea of Nintendo having a lack of involvement in the direction of the show may not be too surprising to some.

Linkle is a very unique fighter in Hyrule Warriors. It’s rare that a character outside of the canon Zelda lore gains Linkle’s level of popularity, and yet she was brought to life through fan demand when sketches of her in the Japanese Hyrule Warriors art book were first revealed. It stands to reason that such…
Hyrule Warriors is a game that certainly isn’t afraid to mix things up in the Zelda series. It had a whole new gameplay style, it featured characters that had never been playable before, and it threaded multiple games and timelines together. At one point before the game’s release, Princess Zelda was even being considered in…
Prince Sidon is one of those rare Zelda characters whose name seems like it could almost be a real one — and that’s because it is. Sidon is the name of a city in the Middle East as well as a figure from the Bible. It is very possible that the city and the man…
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou It would be difficult to write for a Zelda fansite if I didn’t enjoy playing Zelda games. But if I had to pick one game that evoked the…
While most enemies and beasts in Zelda games attempt to intimidate players with designs based on mythical sources, the various Gyorg species are rare exceptions that are inspired by real-life fears.
