Zelda’s three confirmed timelines are unprecedented in the series; there has never been anything quite like them in the entire series’ history. We’ve known some of the games’ order according to their relation to each other, and we knew two timelines existed, but we certainly didn’t know where every game went on the entire timeline, nor that there would be a third one. With the last game having been an ultimate prequel to the entire series, and with Hyrule Historia…

Zelda’s been around for over 25 years now and, despite what some people have been going on about, really has no reason to stop now. I think most people would agree that there being a lot more Zelda in the coming years is a given. So now that we’re days away from a new year, I thought I’d ask you guys… what do you expect from Zelda from here on out? I’m asking this question both in terms of what…

In my old article, Overworlds: The Land Between, I took the time to define the personal names I have for four styles of overworld commonly seen in Zelda. The wilderness is a wild and dangerous area where you are left on your own, while the map is either a miniaturized representation of the world or little more than a menu. But it’s the hub and transportation overworlds that I will be focusing on in this article, for I believe that…

Being that The Legend of Zelda is one of the longest running and widely known series among hardcore gamers and casual players alike, it has become something of an icon in the video game industry. Almost anyone who has ever owned a Nintendo console has played or at least seen a Zelda game in the past. Over the twenty five year long history Zelda has become a household name in video gaming. It is no coincidence that many characters, themes,…

Ganondorf is the iconic villain of Zelda, the one man we all love to hate. His appearances in three of the most critical titles of Zelda canon – Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess – have cemented his status not only as the most iconic villain, but also as the perennial, most influential one. His influence can be felt essentially everywhere in the Zelda series, from the seemingly unimportant Four Swords Saga to the original NES titles….

An article by Mike Stout has been posted over at Gamasutra and it talks about interesting things he found during his recent playthrough of the game. Those interesting things are those that the developers of the original Legend of Zelda did during their designing of the levels found in the game. Here’s one of those things he found: If Miyamoto’s intent was truly to give the players the feelings associated with exploration, then this design is a masterful execution of…

4Gamer.net has posted some new Skyward Sword screenshots. Many of these are from familiar places and scenes, but a number of them are sections of the game we have yet to see still shots of and others are still unique. In particular, there’s some good screenshots of Zelda, Fi, and Link, as well as some shots of some of the more interesting sights in the game’s regions. Jump inside to see a few particularly cool shots, but beware of spoilers….

This year, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of the most beloved series in video game history: The Legend of Zelda. With the remake of the classic Ocarina of Time for the 3DS, the release of four Zelda games on the 3DS eShop, and the upcoming Skyward Sword, this year highlights the appeal of Zelda throughout the ages, and truly unites the veterans of the series with the new players. Let’s look back at what really makes the…

Username anvavna on YouTube recently sent us this amazing music video that he made, “Heart of Courage” The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword AMV. This music video uses the song “Heart of Courage” by Two Steps from Hell, a song that is well-known from its usage in Mass Effect 2’s Launch Trailer and also in its credits. I actually remember watching that trailer when it played in a TV commercial for the game. It was an awesome trailer that easily…
