It’s great that games get re-released on later platforms so a new generation of gamers can experience classic games from yester-year. Many of the Legend of Zelda games are available to download on the Wii U or 3DS but there have also been ports on other consoles like the GameCube releases of Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask and others. Of course, playing the game on a platform other than the one it was designed for means the controls need to…

We have another Super Smash Bros. 4 screenshot this week from Masahiro Sakurai, and this time, he has revealed that Ganondorf’s loyal minions, Koume and Kotake, will be making a cameo in the 3DS-exclusive Gerudo Valley stage. It is unclear whether they will have any real effect on the battlefield, but it does raise speculation as to whether more secondary characters will show up in other stages. Check out the Miiverse post after the jump!

Playing through Ocarina of Time, I was always curious about the boss of the Shadow Temple, Bongo Bongo, and the boss of the Spirit Temple, Twinrova. My curiosity was furthered by finding online theories for Bongo Bongo, and the final words that Twinrova leave Link with after he defeats them in the Spirit Temple. Like my editorial on Bunnio, this will be more interpretive, looking at possible backgrounds and futures of the characters, rather than analysing what the characters are…

YES!!! It’s time to take a look at Nabooru! I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while now, partly because her presentation as a character is the same as those of past Sages, but done differently, which I really liked, but also because of her promise, which I’m really looking forward to hearing your theories, because there are infinite possibilities, some realistic, others being completely off the wall. With that said, I can’t see any reason why we…

LIMITED CHANCE–ITEM NO LONGER AVAILABLE I have seen some pretty cool Zelda shirts in my time, but today something has trumped most of my favorites. Shirt design website ShirtPunch has a one-day-only special running right now on two shirts: one is a mash-up of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Rosie the Riveter, while the other… well, jump inside to see for yourself!

We’re nearly done with the dungeon reviews for Ocarina of Time. The Spirit Temple is the last of the game’s main dungeons, located in the Desert Colossus past Gerudo Valley, the only locations in the game you’re never driven to visit until it’s time to handle their temple; every other region is visited earlier in the game as Child Link. This means that there is no sense of rediscovery with the Spirit Temple. You aren’t finding an important dungeon hidden…

The Zelda series is one that prides itself on whimsical and fantastical ideas, so it should be no surprise that there are plenty of weird characters. Among those characters, however, are ones that are less than comforting. Three months ago I wrote another character list detailing what I believed to be the most annoying characters in the Zelda series. This list is in exactly the same style, except we’re going with the most disturbing. A couple of characters were brought…

General Description: The Gerudo are a race of women that have been known to live in the desert portion of Hyrule. The Gerudo appear as tall, lean and muscular women with red hair who are traditionally portrayed as thieves.  In Ocarina of Time, they have an apparent ranking system: among them are guards, fighters, and a leader. In Majora’s Mask, a different tribe of Gerudo are portrayed with a similar ranking system.  Commonly, the Gerudo women go to Hyrule Castle…

Hey guys! So this video discussion is all about Ganon. Specifically problems with him in some of the games. As I mention in the video, this is not a video of complaints about Ganon himself, but rather how he is treated and implemented in the stories and events of the games themselves. This video (and this will likely become common for discussion videos) is shorter than is typical for me and hopefully a little extra fun. I think this is…
