Nintendo loves the number three. I can’t say I blame them; it’s a magic number, after all. When we think about sets, about grouping things together, there’s a sort of bizarre, inexplicable attraction to the number three. Movie franchises with only three films are exceptionally common, to the point that we even have a word for a set of three movies: Trilogy (the term “duology,” which is a set of two connected films or similar works, is hardly ever used,…

Hey guys! New mailbag! Got a fair number of broad questions this time, covering wider topics relating to the series in general, but we’ve also got a pair of A Link to the Past questions this time, which is cool because we don’t see that a ton. Two Skyward Sword questions as well. And one that seems inspired by a joke I made on the Halloween mailbag! 11 questions in all. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or check…

There has been a large number of recurring objects, themes, and characters in the Legend of Zelda series. More often than nearly any other number or symbol, the number three appears to have the most significance in the Zelda series, and as I will discuss later, other places as well. It is such an important attribute that many things involving it, great and small, are very noticeable, and its symbolism can be seen in both the series’ gameplay and its…

Skyward Sword has been stated to be a prequel to the entire Zelda series, meaning thus far it is the original story, the first adventure. Until another prequel is made, this is where it all began, and as I’ve discussed numerous times, it will even mark the beginning of the Kingdom of Hyrule itself. But there’s another event within the series that Skyward Sword may mark as well. The original event. “The Goddess”, the deity of the Skyloftians and seemingly…

Throughout Majora’s Mask, you are confronted by an interesting character; the Happy Mask Salesman. Your knowledge of him during the game is very little, and he seems to show more evil than he does good. In this article, I will show instances of both the good – and the evil – of the Happy Mask Salesman. One of the more interesting things about the Happy Mask Salesman is that he is the same person from Ocarina of Time, who requested…

Our friends over at Zelda Eternity will be doing a live stream of Majora’s Mask today, starting at 6pm US Eastern Time. This is not going to be an ordinary stream as Mike, the webmaster of Zelda Eternity, will try to complete the 3-Day Challenge! What this means is that, after the beginning sequence of the game where Link recovers the Ocarina of Time and reverts back to his Hylian form, Mike will try to beat the entire game in…

Mailbag time, guys! And man, they just keep getting bigger! 8 questions, then 10 questions, now 12! Yes, 12! I wouldn’t count on it always being this much, though. It was kind of a matter of the questions I got this time. The questions answered and their timestamps: (00:06) – What is your favorite dungeon and why? (00:44) – Is there a Zelda game you didn’t even like? (01:11) – What aspects of TWW did you like the most? (02:23)…

Hiya guys! Well, well, well, things just keep getting crazier don’t they? First that insane “888” (#8, with 8 questions and 8 songs) mailbag last week, and now a whopping 10 (10!!!) questions for this week! I’m going to try and make this quantity of questions somewhat standard, although I can 100% promise anything, especially if I get more complex questions. Here are the questions answered and their timestamps: (00:06) – What’s your least favorite Zelda game? (01:06) – What…
