Throughout most of my life, I’ve had a habit of replaying through many of my all-time favorite video games pretty excessively. The older I get, though, the more I try to limit this practice. For as fun as it is to revisit a beloved classic, I find that – like most great songs or movies – some of the magic is lost on me whenever I replay it either too many times or too often. In 2008 alone, for example,…

Video game emulators, hardware/software that enable a PC to behave like a different machine in order to run classic games, have existed for decades. Thanks to emulators, a generation of gamers have had easy access to libraries of retro titles, including titles developed or published by Nintendo. Unfortunately, emulation has likewise always carried a fair share of complications. Because emulators require an original game’s files (assets owned by the game’s developers or publishers), issues of copyright infringement have plagued the…

When sticker and fan merch websites like Redbubble first became popular, you could tell a person’s favorite memes and jokes just by looking at their water bottle. It was easy to find even niche references to slap onto your belongings on the cheap, back when the marketplace for these things was wild and free. In college, my laptop was covered in Undertale scenes and various stand-up one-liners about being an English major. As many fan artists and sticker lovers know,…

Happy birthday, Tears of the Kingdom! It’s been a delightful year experiencing its story, and it made me nostalgic for some of the game’s quirky side quests. When you first enter Hateno, players immediately witness a town, divided. Citizens don mushroom hats and dresses, while others seem unenthused. Someone has opened a new shop, and it threatens the town’s peaceful way of life. For better or worse, Link had to get involved. Suddenly, he was responsible for ironing out political…

After over a year of exclusively Tears of the Kingdom screenshots, it’s finally time for the contest to once again feature some other types of images. There are over 20 other Zelda games out there, not to mention all the left-field Zelda images we can pull out of our hat. In fact, let’s take a look at one such photo in this…

We’re back this week continuing the discussion around Tears of the Kingdom, except this time, we’re comparing and contrasting it to three other direct sequels in the Zelda franchise: Majora’s Mask, Phantom Hourglass, and A Link Between Worlds! We go over what makes a game a direct sequel in our eyes, how each game changed up the gameplay from its predecessors, if there was enough new content to make the sequel feel distinct, and so much more! We’re also covering…
