Hello everybody and WELCOME BACK to the seventh annual MUSICAL MARCH MADNESS. The premise is simple: 64 songs will go head to head in a series of single-elimination matches, with the winner advancing to the next round, until there is only ONE song left standing that can be called the Greatest Zelda Song Ever. This post will be updated DAILY with new match-ups, so make sure you bookmark it. Polls will last 24 HOURS, STARTING AND ENDING AT 5 PM PACIFIC / 8 PM EASTERN, at which…

The Zelda series has some great music. It’s inspired countless musicians, composers, and arrangers. It’s played in concerts around the world. And while not everyone likes every piece that’s come from the series, many adore much of it. Not all Zelda music is equal (as we’ll see in the Musical March Madness), and neither are the scores of the series’ games. For today’s Daily Debate, we’re asking you which Zelda soundtrack rises above the rest to stand the test of…

One of Tears of the Kingdom‘s standout features is the Ultrahand ability. Allowing the player build contraptions and vehicles in all shapes and sizes using just about any in-game item they can get their hands on, Ultrahand has been celebrated in the wider gaming landscape as both a novel ingredient in the ever-expanding Zelda formula and a technical marvel given how well it comes together. So much ballyhoo was made about Ultrahand around the time of Tears of the Kingsom‘s…

Nintendo is frustratingly tight-lipped about their upcoming releases. Each morsel of information — trailers, social media posts, and interviews — offers tantalizing insight into future games. We know almost nothing about the next Legend of Zelda game, but after digging through dozens of interviews, we can learn a small amount. Let’s examine what little we know, as of March 2025.  

A recent interview with long-time Nintendo marketing manager Gail Tilden brought to light a very intriguing fact. When Tilden asked if Miyamoto would be open to a Zelda movie with legendary director Steven Spielberg himself at the helm, the answer was “always ‘no.’”  My first thought was, what made him change his mind? But that’s a debate for another day. Today, I wish to present a different question: who would we, the fans, choose to be the ideal Zelda movie director?…

Nintendo of America has revealed that May 15th, 2025 will be the official opening day for their new San Francisco store. The plans for the store were originally announced last year, with more information promised to follow. Details of the opening event are yet to be unveiled; however, Nintendo has disclosed that “reservations will be required for entry.” On May 15th, Nintendo will open the doors to Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO, its second official store in the United States. Details on…

The Zelda series has many landmark entries, but a lot of fans agree that two stand out as the most influential: Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. Ocarina refined the formula that would shape the series for nearly 20 years and Breath boldly set a new direction for the franchise. Everyone agrees that these two games had a huge influence on the Zelda series, but which one was more influential? Breath of the Wild came out eight years…

During Echoes of Wisdom‘s finale, Null obtains the Triforce of Power before being defeated at the hands of Link and Zelda. While such a conflict isn’t anything new to the Zelda series, it is curious that Null took up the role of villain this time around, especially with the Triforce in play. Traditionally, Ganon has been the only villain to obtain the Triforce of Power. This is because after being defeated in Skyward Sword, Demise cursed the trio, ensuring that his hatred…

The Master Sword’s been a near-constant in Zelda since its introduction in A Link to the Past. We’ve seen it transcend systems and adventures, accompanying each Link as he sets out to best his enemy. Nearly every console Zelda title (meaning ones not relegated to a handheld system – the Switch blurs those lines) since its introduction has featured it. The series has shed some of its core tenets in the current console generation. We’ve seen a playable Princess Zelda…

Nintendo fans this week might have received a sneak peek at what the Switch 2 Direct on April 2nd might reveal. Recent filings made with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) list several technical specifications reflecting the console’s potential power and quality-of-life features. The first confirmation is near-field communication (NFC) and radio frequency identification (RFID) functionality in the right Joy-Con. Nintendo has not specifically confirmed amiibo compatibility, but many suspect these inclusions are enough to support an educated guess. Charging is…

Every March 10th, Nintendo marks a special day on the calendar to celebrate its plumber mascot on “MAR10 Day.” The particular date is not random, as “MAR” is both the abbreviation for the month of March and the first three letters of the character’s name, and the final two letters “IO” bear resemblance to the number 10. The coincidence makes for a heart-warming day to honor the famed 2D and 3D platformer at the center of Nintendo’s flagship series Super…
