This is a special video. There’s a little of my usual stuff in here, but I also have a special surprise. You’ll just have to watch it to find out what. Enjoy!
Mostly talking about the enemies of the series. Some thoughts on enemies of the series in general and how I like it that the enemies are totally different in every game, and the reason it’s that way.
I know I ask what your favorite enemies are without saying mine. To be fair I’ve said it before in other videos, but I’ll say it here too. It’s ChuChus… from The Wind Waker specifically. Now what’s yours? Tell me in the comments!
We all know Majora’s Mask to be a rather infamous Zelda title. Don’t get me wrong, the game is great, but heavily criticized. Why? This is mostly because of the time cycle. Even a lot of people who like the game a lot are frustrated with this fact as well. I, for one like the cycle, it separates it from the other games. On the first half of the game, the cycle lasts for about a half-hour so you can get the Ocarina of Time back faster. Once the second half starts, the time cycle extends to one hour of game play. However, playing the Song of Time backwards will slow time down by 1/3. One hour is actually longer than you think. I usually spend the time to unlock a dungeon, then go back in time and complete it.

I’m happy to announce that the Zelda Dungeon Facebook account now has 4000 people liking it! It really has skyrocketed in the last few weeks ever since the new layout change and I’m very pleased with the results. A big thanks to our Facebook Coordinator Joseph who is constantly updating the Facebook page with all the news here at Zelda Dungeon, as well as fun pictures, videos fans works, rare finds, and a whole bunch more. Additionally, Joseph is also asking raising questions or making comments about the various Zelda games, the future of the series, Skyward Sword, and anything and everything related to Zelda, Gaming, and the website. If you aren’t a fan yet, (what’s wrong with you), you can become one simply by clicking the like button that appears on the sidebar in the facebook box. Alternatively, just head on over to the Zelda Dungeon Facebook account and check us out that way.
Oh by the way, I think it is also worth mentioning that Zelda Dungeon is now on Twitter. We had an account long ago, but I personally was never much of a Twitter fan and it was neglected. However, after doing some convincing, our very own Axle the Beast has decided to take over the Twitter account and is now posting news and various other goodies at Twitter, so be sure to check us out there as well!
In Eiji Aonuma’s recent interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, he talked more extensively about the artwork style for the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. In particular he touched on how he believes the graphic style will help the core gameplay of the game.
“One of the reasons we’ve chosen the art style we have with Skyward Sword is that it is a better vehicle to showcase the exaggerated characteristics of some of the characters. Not only of the enemy characters, but as a representation of the sword spirit itself. Because of the way we have put the game together you have to focus on how the enemy is carrying their weapon, and there are a couple of different ways you can go about that. One, you can be super-realistic, and the other, not so realistic. We thought that because we want to highlight the swordfighting combat, we have to exaggerate the features. We thought that the art style we chose was best-suited to do that. You have to match the art style to how the game plays, and we thought this worked best. We matched the artwork so that we can highlight the over-exaggeration in the gameplay.”
Well, well, well! Curiosity Shop #020! That’s a lot of mailbags, and there ought to be many more ahead. Usual focus on Skyward Sword, but there’s some Ocarina of Time 3DS, general Ocarina of Time, and both Majora’s Mask and The Wind Waker related questions in there. 11 questions in all. Enjoy!

Four years ago, Twilight Princess hit stores all over the world. Zelda Dungeon existed during this release and as usual, Mases wrote a Twilight Princess Walkthrough to ensure that we had content when the masses needed it. The guide sat for a while, and a couple of years ago Mases started redoing it to include [...]
So, as you might have heard on one of my recent Curiosity Shop videos, I finally got Phantom Hourglass. Now that I’ve beaten it, I made this: An Impressions video talking about the game. Since I’m a pretty big fan of it, this is largely talking about positives, but I do take some time to [...]

Well, back at E3 we had a pretty exciting day. We got to hear a lot about Skyward Sword and see roughly what it’s going to look and play like. But we didn’t hear much about the story. We’ve gleaned bits and pieces of it from quotes over the days following the press conference, but [...]
