Ever since the very first Zelda game, fairies have played a role in one form or another throughout the series. Whether they grant Link special skills, accompany him on his journey, or heal him when he’s down for the count, these magical beings have always had a hand in saving the land of Hyrule. To recognize all their efforts over the years, we had some of the Zelda Dungeon staff recount their five favorite fairies, from their humble roots as…

Hey everyone and welcome to this week’s edition of Zelda Dungeon Talks! In most Zelda games starting from Ocarina of Time we see Link travelling through Hyrule accompanied by another. A special guide character that gives us hints on where to go and how to accomplish things. Fi, Midna, Navi, Tatl and Celia are all examples of these side characters. Sometimes, these characters can get really interesting and start developing and growing on us more as a character with a significant impact…

Link’s annoying little Z-Targeting companion has proved herself more than useful throughout our hero’s epic quest to save Hyrule, and as irritating as she may be, it comes as no surprise if you want your own little fairy. Well, if enrolling into the Kokiri academy hasn’t proved easy…

For a game series centered around a ‘silent protagonist,’ Zelda certainly doesn’t have a shortage of available means of communication. Every game offers some way for the story to be communicated to Link, and the ways people get in contact with him is as creative as it is varied. From Gossip Stones to songs to howling, you can always be sure of a unique way to interact with the people around you. Let’s take a look at a few of…

Hello everyone. At Zelda Dungeon we sure are getting tons of news on Hyrule Warriors, which is as exciting for us as it is for you, but if you would like a break, here is another Zelda Artist Exposition. These features are designed to better spread the joy of art throughout the Zelda community and further support fan artists. Today’s feature is a rather popular artist on deviantART. He really does not need exposed at all, but I love his…

Companions have been a near constant feature in The Legend of Zelda ever since Ocarina of Time, when Navi was introduced. Since then, there have been many other companions featured within the world of Zelda. But what defines a companion, and what exactly are their roles throughout the games? Does Epona qualify as a companion? What about your Loftwing? Hit the jump to find out what I think!

Majora’s Mask is “that” Zelda game. For a while considered the black sheep of the series or an underrated gem — though it’s really neither by this point — it’s perhaps most of all seen as a very mysterious and strange game. Scenes are often surreal and indistinct, confusing, or just thought-provoking. And many of the plot points are not well-explained, with unclear origins. I’ve always been a fan of looking at its mysteries and trying to figure them out,…

Hello! Look! Zelda partners are extremely important characters. They act as story-tellers, guides, and voices for our otherwise voiceless hero. Let’s not forget, they also have the most screen time of any character in the game, barring Link of course, and for this reason, the execution of a brilliant partner character is an important staple when building any Zelda game. He/she is going to be remembered for better or for worse. So which games created the best companions, and which…

To those who have not played Majora’s Mask, but know a decent bit about it, Tatl would appear to simply be a yellow Navi; but those people would be wrong. While Tatl does take Navi’s place as Link’s sidekick, Navi was just there, serving no real purpose and wasn’t much of a character; however, Tatl, while also serving no real purpose, is very much her own character. Now, a lot of people last week commented that I was more retelling…

I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time, and now finally the moment has arrived to wonder: who is the Link in Majora’s Mask? Well, yes, to almost all Zelda fans it is common knowledge that the Link in Majora’s Mask is in fact the same Link from Ocarina of Time, and is still, essentially, the Hero of Time. But, he is, in fact, different. I’ve got your attention now, haven’t I? Well, keep reading if you want…
