Nintendo is starting off a series of themed E-Shop discounts with Zelda games. There are discounts for both Wii U and 3DS E-Shops, but only on Virtual Console games. Hit the jump for more info!        

As some of you may know, at the end of last month, the Deadpool video game came out, starring the famous wise-cracking, 4th wall-breaking comic book mercenary. I haven’t gotten the game yet, but while watching some gameplay footage I noticed moments that were clear references to the Zelda series. The first happens while Deadpool navigates some sewers, where at one point he enters a series of rooms reminiscent of an 8-bit Zelda game, and the game switches to top-down…

The land of Hyrule has always been a very diverse realm with a large variety of peoples and monsters living throughout. A very common aspect of the Zelda series is there being a clear distinction between a friendly NPCs that will talk to Link and cannot be attacked, and unfriendly enemy NPCs, which almost never speak and only exist as opponents to be defeated. This does not account for everyone, as there are the occasional exceptions on both sides. Nonetheless,…

Alright, so following up on E3 earlier this week, this video is about The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, the minigame of sorts that comes along with Nintendo Land, a collection of similar minigames. We know Battle Quest is going to be a multiplayer game where you play between 1-3 adventurers and fight through levels in what looks to be linear stages. This video has me going over my thoughts on Battle Quest in general. You can watch the video…

Being that The Legend of Zelda is one of the longest running and widely known series among hardcore gamers and casual players alike, it has become something of an icon in the video game industry. Almost anyone who has ever owned a Nintendo console has played or at least seen a Zelda game in the past. Over the twenty five year long history Zelda has become a household name in video gaming. It is no coincidence that many characters, themes,…

The Legend of Zelda is one of the most well known video game series of all time. Over the past 25 years it has continued to not only make its way into the hearts of countless fans, but certain entries have also been recognized by different people as games of the year and even the best games of all time. These games are the most popular, but when it comes to the core fans of the series, each title can…

The Legend of Zelda has a long history of story-driven gaming, to the point where an official timeline release has been highly controversial. While in many cases this emphasis on story is praised by the gaming media, the games have attracted a fair bit of criticism for each having the same basic story – and the criticism is right. The key point here is that this is not necessarily a criticism: The Legend of Zelda ascribes very closely to a…

I think we’re at a bit of a turning point in the Zelda franchise. Nothing as major as a reinvention and it probably won’t mean any significant changes to the standard formula we’ve seen in every Zelda game, but a slightly new flavor in terms of the setting and story. I wrote a broad article about the future of Zelda in the past, but that was pre-Skyward Sword, and involved a lot of speculation and conjecture based on numerous factors…

DeviantART user, MINGLES, has recently started up a LEGO Cuusoo project for The Legend of Zelda. I’m sure I don’t need to explain to anyone what LEGO is, but Cuusoo is a section of LEGO’s website where people can submit ideas for official LEGO products, and if they gain 10,000 supporters, they will be reviewed for potential as an actual LEGO product. LEGO is a great toy for kids and even sometimes adults, and it would be incredibly cool to…

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…
