When thinking up editorials, my mind tends to stray towards the same games: The Wind Waker always seems like a good option, I always have something to say about Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess, and I never tire of talking about my personal favorite title in the series, A Link to the Past. I try to avoid repeating myself, but it keeps getting harder and harder to think of something fresh. So, when brainstorming for my latest editorial I thought…

A Legend of Zelda anime series is something that the Zelda community has desired for a very long time. But what if instead of an action-packed serious anime based around our blonde hero, we got a comedy based anime that followed the red, green, and blue Links from Tri Force Heroes? No need to imagine it, animator CharlesCBernardo gives us a taste of the hilarity that could ensue in his fan animation “The Legend Of Zelda – Tri Force Heroes…

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has stated that the rumors regarding Netflix’ adaptation of The Legend of Zelda is based on inaccurate information. In a recent interview that Time Magazine had with the Nintendo executive he mentioned a variety of things including the news on Nintendo developing on handheld devices, the free-to-play market, the Amiibos and other toys and a big reveal: the rumors that started a month and a half ago on the website of the Wall Street Journal that…

If you didn’t know already, a short series of “The Misadventures of Link” is now available for European owners through the 3DS application, Nintendo Video. Though you might have been a little mischievous yourself while playing as Link your favorite Zelda titles, this time you’ll just be watching tidbits of Link acting on his own in his brief and humorous adventures.

It is a well known fact that the Legend of Zelda isn’t a type of game series that has a new release every year. Many years can go by and there will be no new Zelda game for its fans to play. Some fans can find this to be annoying and wish that there was less of a time span in between the games. Fans usually tend to think that some of the reasons it takes a long time is…

Time is concept that is very common within the Legend of Zelda series; with 16 installments over 27 years, the series has brought us a total of six games which have used the idea of time in some manner. Time has also played a factor in the grand scheme of Zelda in the form of the timeline itself. Ocarina of Time has three alternate outcomes — two of which were a consequence of Princess Zelda sending Link back in time…

It’s unquestionable that Ocarina of Time was a revolution for Zelda, Nintendo, and the entire video game industry. While its foundation was instantly recognizable as the standard Zelda formula, it raised the bar for 3D action games and set precedents that are still followed to this day. While one radical opinion is that Zelda games haven’t changed since the release of the original title, a much more common one (an opinion I still disagree with) is that there haven’t been…

A new series at GameTrailers is brewing and it is unlike anything we’re used to. In “Timeline”, GameTrailers will be examining various video game series and how the stories in-game all come together, and what franchise better to start with than The Legend of Zelda, whose timeline has been more debated and theorized over than any other video game? If you’re interested in more about this legendary first episode of what should be a great series, hit the jump!

A few days ago, a new YouTuber, bunnyhopshow, finished his analysis of the entire Zelda series in the two part “Critical Close-up: Zelda“. In the video, bunnyhop takes a look at some of the common complaints and praise the franchise receives, and using mostly Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past as examples, tries to shed some more objective light on the repeated talk. Hit the jump for more!

Majora’s Mask is often misconstrued as a dark horse of the Zelda franchise. However it is labeled — “underrated, misunderstood,” etc. — most of these comments simply point toward the misconception that Majora’s Mask isn’t appreciated enough. It came out at the end of a console’s life, after the “wow” factor faded away. Many of the reviews for the game weren’t as positive as those for Ocarina of Time, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for arbitrary reasons. Likewise, many…
