The Pictograph Box. More commonly referred to as the Picto Box, this little gadget plays a particularly interesting role. The concept within the Legend of Zelda world is pretty original and unexpected for the supposed time period, and the clever, but arguably notorious, addition of the box to The Wind Waker greatly expanded the gameplay and quest options, albeit in a fairly lengthy, possibly grueling way. It is somehow pivotal but also oddly out-of-place in the games, which makes it…

Playing through Ocarina of Time, I was always curious about the boss of the Shadow Temple, Bongo Bongo, and the boss of the Spirit Temple, Twinrova. My curiosity was furthered by finding online theories for Bongo Bongo, and the final words that Twinrova leave Link with after he defeats them in the Spirit Temple. Like my editorial on Bunnio, this will be more interpretive, looking at possible backgrounds and futures of the characters, rather than analysing what the characters are…

We’re nearly done with the dungeon reviews for Ocarina of Time. The Spirit Temple is the last of the game’s main dungeons, located in the Desert Colossus past Gerudo Valley, the only locations in the game you’re never driven to visit until it’s time to handle their temple; every other region is visited earlier in the game as Child Link. This means that there is no sense of rediscovery with the Spirit Temple. You aren’t finding an important dungeon hidden…

The Zelda series is one that prides itself on whimsical and fantastical ideas, so it should be no surprise that there are plenty of weird characters. Among those characters, however, are ones that are less than comforting. Three months ago I wrote another character list detailing what I believed to be the most annoying characters in the Zelda series. This list is in exactly the same style, except we’re going with the most disturbing. A couple of characters were brought…

General Description: The Gerudo are a race of women that have been known to live in the desert portion of Hyrule. The Gerudo appear as tall, lean and muscular women with red hair who are traditionally portrayed as thieves.  In Ocarina of Time, they have an apparent ranking system: among them are guards, fighters, and a leader. In Majora’s Mask, a different tribe of Gerudo are portrayed with a similar ranking system.  Commonly, the Gerudo women go to Hyrule Castle…

Nintendo is always very creative when it comes to Zelda races. We all know Nintendo doesn’t need to use biology facts to explain their creations, but still it is fun to figure out if a Zelda race could be possible in the real world. I already tried to explain the Gorons and the Zoras, but if there is one aspect about the Zelda series that can make a biologist go insane, it definitely has to be the Gerudo. The Gerudo…

Hey guys! So this video discussion is all about Ganon. Specifically problems with him in some of the games. As I mention in the video, this is not a video of complaints about Ganon himself, but rather how he is treated and implemented in the stories and events of the games themselves. This video (and this will likely become common for discussion videos) is shorter than is typical for me and hopefully a little extra fun. I think this is…
