There are 59 different smoothie recipes you can make in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, but as you try combinations of ingredients at random, you’ll find yourself creating one concoction more than any other: the “unfortunate smoothie.” Only healing half a heart and a small amount of energy, this beverage is the spiritual pairing to a plate of Dubious Food from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While there have already been creative interpretations of Dubious Food,…

I didn’t know about the manga versions of Zelda games until just a few years ago. There are manga versions of multiple games in the series, from Ocarina of Time to the Oracle games. So, wanting to be true to my favorite fandom, I recently acquired the whole Twilight Princess collection and have been devouring these volumes like Breath of the Wild Link pounds apples! These volumes follow the Twilight Princess narrative for the most part, but they breathe even…

Welcome back for a new episode of the BEST Zelda podcast ever, folks! This week, Al is joined by The Zelda Cast’s social media manager, Jules! In celebration of The Minish Cap’s 20th anniversary (per the North American release on January 10th, 2005), we get down to business and definitively rank the most charming Zelda game. We discuss the game’s world, story, pacing, dungeons, side content and more! And don’t worry, we didn’t forget about that little nugget of news…

With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially named and set for a 2025 release, what was speculation on leaks and rumors is now speculation based on slightly more substance. Nintendo’s first-look trailer shows off a bigger, sleeker system with a seemingly reworked outer shell, new screen-wide kickstand with a much wider range of motion than the original system’s small prop-up, and most strikingly, detachable controllers that pop in to the system, rather than sliding on using the Switch’s rails. The successor…

Echoes of Wisdom adapted many mechanics from open-world Zelda for a 2D space. One such mechanic is cooking, or smoothie making. Smoothies are a slimmed down version of Breath of Wild and Tears of the Kingdom‘s extensive cooking mechanics. At any Deku shop, players can combine two ingredients together into a smoothie for mixed (get it?) results. Pick two incompatible ingredients and you’ll win yourself an unfortunate smoothie, Echoes’ take on Dubious Food. As I experimented with smoothie combinations, I…

“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em,” says Malvolio as he reads a letter in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. While the circumstances around the quote are humorous, the quote itself has taken on a life of its own in evaluating those in prominent positions. The various kings of Hyrule in the Zelda series certainly fit the bill when it comes to greatness of some kind. A few years ago, another writer posed the question, “Who was…

Yesterday Nintendo dropped a teaser video revealing the highly anticipated Switch 2. The successor to the Nintendo Switch has been speculated upon, and talked about for the last year or so, but none so much as talk of ports for two Zelda games that are very near and dear to the fanbase. Since we are going to learn more about the Switch 2 come April that begs the question that has been asked for many years: will Nintendo finally port…

Visionary filmmaker David Lynch, known for directing such films as Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Lost Highway and for co-creating the cult television series Twin Peaks, passed away Wednesday at the age of 78. Thanks to his trademark style characterized by surrealism, dreamlike pacing and aesthetics, and idiosyncratic characters, Lynch has been exalted as one of the greatest American film directors in history and as an influential figure in the development of visual storytelling. David Lynch’s…

Master Sword, a band formed to pay homage to the Legend of Zelda series, has finally dropped their latest album Toying With Time. After raising over $25k USD on Kickstarter, they’ve brought the haunting tales of the Nintendo 64 classic Majora’s Mask to the metal scene with their own power and progressive spin. This album has been in the works for a long time, with multiple songs being started 7+ years ago, and the band has worked hard to get…
