Skyward Sword was a game focused on awakening and redemption, and Impa was one person whose personality and actions reflected the major growth of her character. As a young woman, Impa was intensely focused on the task assigned to her by the Goddess. But as the years ticked by, her demeanor changed to a much more relaxed and confident in both herself and those around her. Though she is still the same Impa she was during the Ancient Battle, the…

Protecting the mortal incarnation of the Goddess Hylia is a pretty big job, but one handled with the utmost grace in the capable hands of the very first Sheikah warrior– Impa, from Skyward Sword. Though she initially had a stern exterior and was very critical of Link, Impa turned out to be an extremely loyal and trusting individual with a heart of gold. It’s no secret that Impa is a flawed character, if she was perfect she wouldn’t be interesting,…

Back when The Legend of Zelda was more an idea than a full game, popular anime artist Haruhiko Mikimoto did some drawings of Zelda and Link to feature in the anime magazine Newtype. Some scans of a 1984 or 1985 edition of Newtype reveal what he imagined for these two characters before The Legend of Zelda was released. Hit the jump to see the scans!

Last week I talked about the Hookshot and its many variations, and I brought up having variety in the item selection from game to game by including classic items in new forms. It’s happened many times in the Zelda series already. It can come in the form of the classic item having a strange new power, like the Gale Boomerang from Twilight Princess, or they could simply have additional functionality that previous incarnations didn’t have, even if, in-world, they are…

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on Deviantart artist, zorn981’s Legend of Zelda fanart, ‘It’s Dangerous to Go Alone‘. This fanart depicts the iconic scene of when Link encounters the old man in the cave shortly after the game begins. The old man, seeing that Link is without a proper weapon, gives him the Wooden Sword, or in this case, due to the artist’s choice, it’s the Master Sword. The colors and expressions that are used in this piece really help…

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 not enough to answer all our questions. So I wanted to go over what we do know and figure out what it all means and…

So here it is, guys, the last Curiosity Shop before E3! Next week’s going to be one hell of a party, expect some big things! Until then, I’ll try to keep you satiated with some discussion videos. The questions and their timestamps are: (00:30) – You said you wanted less dungeons, but what if the dungeons were done well? (01:15) – What do you think is the hardest game in the series? (02:18) – Do you think Midna will be…

Hey guys! Well, not long now until E3. A little under two weeks! Soon I’m sure we’ll get some much needed confirmation on our theories and desires for Zelda Wii, as well as some pleasant surprises. But until then I thought I’d make a video to go over the big pool of rumors posted here on Zelda Dungeon over the last few months. The rumors I cover in the video come from three main news posts: Zelda Wii Information Leaked…

Hey there guys! Mailbag time! Got a bunch of questions, most of them discussing points from various games in the series, including the upcoming Zelda Wii. Here are the questions and their timestamps: (00:06) – What do you think of Link being older in Zelda Wii? (02:17) – Shouldn’t there only be one timeline after the events of Ocarina of Time? (03:40) – What do you think of the idea of the Temple of the Ocean King/Tower of Spirits in…
