This week we have a double feature of Corpse Run‘s fantastic comics. First, an examination of the combination of two items from Skyward Sword. Fi, annoying as always, unfortunately cannot explain to Link why the rules of video games and real life don’t always meet. And second, something all guys can relate to to some extent, even if it doesn’t involve a flying beetle.
Hit the jump to read the comics!

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on deviantART artist PhantomMarbles Skyward Sword fanart “Behind the Waterfall“. In this fanart it shows Link and Fi standing outside of the Ancient Cistern. Fi looks as if she is explaining something to Link and Link is listening intently to her. The sun is shining down upon the cistern, illuminating the beautiful scene perfectly.
The outside of the Ancient Cistern is just as elaborate and beautiful as the inside of it. Link will realize this for himself once he ventures into the ancient dungeon.

Welcome to Majora’s Memes, where we bring you memetic madness weekly!
Like scouring Hyrule Field for bushes that hopefully contain Rupees or bombs or arrows, we search the Internet for Zelda-related laughs. And wow, you guys really stepped it up this week! We have a lot of memes contributed by users this week, so yellow rupees will be distributed to blue, Tito Burgess, Merv?, smallchocolatebar, RubyDragonCat, and Link. With the help of these contributions, this may very well be the largest Majora’s Memes post to date! (Even if they’re almost exclusively from Memebase this week) Read more…

This moment brought me to tears. I know that Fi had terrible character development throughout Skyward Sword. Her emotional attachment to Link was never really hinted at or shown. While it makes sense that it would have, to some degree, come out of nowhere, I don’t think it was handled that well in Skyward Sword’s plot. I did appreciate that they tried to make her an active participant in the adventure like Midna was, but the end result was her mostly just giving unneeded advice at annoying times. It was admirable, but poorly executed.
But all of that stopped mattering to me during this scene. I still complain about her development because, had it been good, this moment could have been so much better. But that doesn’t change the fact that this scene was highly emotional. Skyward Sword as a whole did a good job with its dialogue; most of the characters’ actions and words felt realistic, and helped the world come alive. That strength of the game is present here. Fi’s actions initially seem almost too cold, even for Fi. At least that was my impression. It feels as though she’s attempting to adhere to her old attitudes too strongly — wording things as coldly as possible even though she normally talks a little more friendly than that — before realizing and accepting how she really feels. The story of an emotionless character developing emotions, feelings, and attachments to their companion is an old one… but that doesn’t make it any less cool or emotional.

Hello again my friends, and welcome once more to this week’s Flute Boy’s Meadow!
Now, last week I took a look at the main themes/songs for four of Link’s companions from the series: Navi, Tatl (more or less), The King of Red Lions, and Ezlo. This week, I will be looking at the themes for Midna from Twilight Princess, Ciela from Phantom Hourglass, and Fi from Skyward Sword. As for Princess Zelda, I do realize that her spirit form plays the role of a companion in Spirit Tracks but I feel that Zelda is not really defined as a companion. Zelda as a character is something much more, and her theme got its own post two weeks ago if you would like to check it out.
Also, just like last week there are SPOILERS AHEAD. If you have not finished Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, or Skyward Sword, tread carefully.
Now without further ado, let’s get on with it! Make the jump to get started.

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on deviantART artist Shattered-Earth‘s Skyward Sword fanart, “I Will Wait For You – Scrapper Skyward Sword“. In this fanart it shows two characters from the game, Fi (as the Master Sword) and Scrapper, the robot who is infatuated with her. At the end of Skyward Sword, Fi enters a deep sleep now that her duty is officially done. Scrapper apparently has found out about this and goes to be with her. He decides to stay there with her until she returns so that way they could be together again.
He would wait for her forever.

Artist Cavea of deviantART is great at drawing, but also has an amazing sense of humor. Back in May, she created a comic that is set in Skyward Sword‘s Skyview Temple, and let’s just say that things get a little crazy. Remember those odd-looking mushrooms in the first dungeon? Well, there’s more to them then meets the eye. The art style is adorable and captures the hilarity and lightheartedness of the situation. Make the jump to see Link, Fi and Ghirahim partying it up!

A few days ago, Zelda Informer released an exclusive video of the new Fi and Ghirahim models that will be in Hyrule: Total War. The two characters will come to life on the battlefield and engage in epic fights against hordes of various different enemy types from the Zelda franchise. Hyrule: Total War is a mod of Medieval 2: Total War and aims to replace in-game models with characters from Zelda games across many platforms. The project has been in the works for a long time now, and you can find the link to the project’s page and footage of the Fi and Ghirahim trailer after the jump!

“Fi’s Lament”, better known simply as Fi’s theme, is one of Skyward Sword’s many musical compositions and is among the most beautiful. YouTube user Dark Star109 has created an orchestrated piano cover of the well known piece.

Sometimes, it can seem like Link is invulnerable. Depending on the capabilities of the enemies that he faces, he doesn’t usually show any sign of injury until he’s down to his last couple hearts. He can fall off cliffs, be beaten by clubs, or even stung by bees, but the only thing to indicate that he’s hurt is his heart count and sometimes a grunt or two. From all the abuse that Link takes, how does his equipment stay in perfect working order? As annoying as it could be, it actually made sense that the shield had to be repaired after undergoing so much wear and tear in Skyward Sword. Awkward Zombie created a perfectly logical comic that answers a few questions on this topic. If you’re interested, take a look at the comic after the jump.
March 8th, 2012 by Axle the BeastHey, sorry for the long wait for this mailbag! It’s been a while, but things should be more steady and frequent moving forward. Sorry for the resolution problems. They should be resolved by the next video. Today we’ve actually got quite a lot of general questions and non-Skyward Sword questions, which is a bit refreshing for some of you, I’m sure, after focusing on Skyward Sword so much for so long. 11 questions in all. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or view the video embed after the jump.
Questions and timestamps:
(00:23) – Do you think Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword are the first hero and Zelda?
(00:32) – Which Zelda game do you recommend besides OoT, SS and TP?
(00:42) – With the advanced technology Skyward Sword, how would you feel about a futuristic Zelda game?
(02:42) – Why is the currency in Hyrule Rupees? Why did they use the Indian currency for the series?
(03:59) – What are your thoughts about a Legend of Zelda anime series?
(04:29) – Do you think that Nintendo should ever fully reveal some of the mysteries of the Zelda series?
(05:26) – Do you think having two different Zoras, the River Zora and the Sea Zora, is a cop-out explanation?
(07:03) – Don’t you feel that the first Twilight Princess trailer was really misleading compared to how the game turned out?
(07:44) – Why do you think TP and SS force you to do the dungeons in the second half of the game in a set order? Did this bother you?
(08:40) – Nintendo released a channel to help with SS save data, so… what’s it for?
(09:20) – Do you think there will be a sequel to Skyward Sword, and what happened to Fi after the game?

From past experience, it seems that Zelda fans enjoy comics based on the series. I can’t say that I blame them, either. Earlier, a comic was posted to Dorkly by none other than Brawl in the Family. Everyone who has played Skyward Sword should know that Fi, however helpful she can be at times, talks like she has all the time in the world. Just because everything that moves on its own in the game pauses when she speaks doesn’t mean that Link has nothing more important to do. Shown below is a somewhat exaggerated situation (though still amusing) that seems completely possible when you’re reading through some of the information Fi gives you. Check out the comic after the jump.
February 8th, 2012 by Axle the BeastWow, sorry for the delay on this mailbag. For whatever reason there was a lot of trouble uploading it. Also sorry for the resolution issues. Either way, this time there’s quite a few questions. There’s 15 questions in total, with roughly half being Skyward Sword related and the other half being about other aspects of the series. Enjoy!
