Hands down, Cadence of Hyrule was the most surprising announcement from the recent Nindies Showcase. While Nintendo has worked with outside developers before to make canonical Zelda titles, Cadence of Hyrule is the first time Nintendo has partnered with an indie studio. This dip into the rhythm genre could be a unique storytelling mechanic. After all, Nintendo is no stranger to using creative approaches to storytelling, and music plays a major role in several plotlines. Is Cadence of Hyrule going to be a…

While it may be considered the black sheep of the main series, there’s no denying that Zelda II features some amazing music, so much so that it’s been included in the volumes of tracks in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Recently, Canadian pianist Laurence Manning created a medley of two of the game’s most popular tracks: “Temple”, and “Great Temple”. This piano cover brings the pieces into a more modern style, while still retaining their original harshness. Alongside this, Manning has recently completed a…

For being a game about exploration and taking back Hyrule from Calamity Ganon, Breath of the Wild certainly gives Link plenty of opportunities to practice being a sleepyhead. And who says he needs rest? He can run around all night and be totally fine. He has in every other Zelda game, hasn’t he? All joking aside, the game offers quite a few places to sleep. Each of these places passes the time and lets Link restore his health; however, some of the options even…

The recently announced Crypt of the NecroDancer and Zelda crossover, Cadence of Hyrule, was originally conceived as a DLC addition to the original title. In an IGN interview, founder of developer Brace Yourself Gaming, Ryan Clark, stated that the game started life as a possible addition to a new Nintendo Switch project, but that Nintendo’s interest in the idea pushed it into the realms of a full game. When asked about how Cadence of Hyrule was conceived, Clark said: “We were considering…

Let’s start off by announcing that unfortunately, Ganondorf was not able to vanquish the beast incarnate known as Midna.

Well, Helmarock: Zelda Metal Vol. II might give you some idea of how amazing it would sound! Helmarock: Zelda Metal Vol. II is an exciting new musical experience that translates some of The Legend of Zelda‘s most iconic songs into a rock and roll epic.

In an age where people have experienced the vast world of Skyrim in virtual reality, it makes us wonder if there is a Zelda game we would want to see in that immersive gaming experience. Even though Nintendo has not entered the virtual reality market yet, at least since the Virtual Boy, do you think the Zelda series would be fit for such a platform? Video games are all about immersing yourself into a world and a story that begs…

Is there really a best Zelda game? For the last 33 years gamers have been treated with one of the most well known series in gaming. We have evolved from the side-scrollers of the late 80s and now have entered an open world Hyrule, but does one game stand out among the rest? The short answer is, yes; there is a best Zelda game, but that’s up to everyone’s personal opinion. My best Zelda game is probably different from everyone…

“I can’t wear this Impa,” Zelda ran a brush through her golden blonde hair as she stared back at her mentor, bodyguard, friend, and handmaiden in the mirror. “It’s a gift from your father. You must,” she set the small wooden box on the vanity and took a step back to help the Princess with her hair. “How am I going to draw my bow back though?” Impa tugged roughly on a knot that had formed near Zelda’s ear, “who…
