There are two types of people when starting a new file in a Zelda game. There are the purists that insist on always naming the hero Link, and those who like to be creative, and choose something different. Even in Twilight Princess there is the option to name Epona something different as well. But which of these two types of people are you? For me, I like to keep it simple, and name my file Link– and Epona for Twilight…

I awoke early in the morning to the lapping of the cool water from our pool caressing my skin. I turned to find my brother, Sidon snoozing peacefully at the surface of the water, with tiny ripples spreading out around him.  I sighed peacefully and wondered what he was dreaming about. I gently kissed his head and then waded out and started to get ready for the day. Father had told me last night that he was ready to discuss…

Everybody started somewhere their first journey in the Zelda series. For some, they were told by an old man in a cave that it would be dangerous to go alone without a sword. For others, they ventured inside a dying massive tree who wanted to test them to see if they were ready to save Hyrule. The Great Deku Tree’s massive innards are where we start in Ocarina of Time, and as this piano cover demonstrates, it is an eerie start indeed….

The Fairy Fountain theme is one of the most common tracks found in the Zelda series, appearing in most titles’ file select screens, and of course within Fairy Fountains themselves. First appearing in A Link to the Past (well, there were technically Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda, but they weren’t officially named), the sound quality has progressed considerably throughout the years, but some miss the nostalgic tone found in the SNES game. That’s where music technician GLASYS comes in. With brand new…

During a recent live stream, developer Suda 51 announced that more Zelda t-shirts will be added to his newest title Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. Grasshopper Manufacturer will be releasing two brand new t-shirts for Travis Touchdown to wear based on The Wind Waker. The first t-shirt’s design is based on the original artwork from the GameCube version of the game, and the second one is based on the artwork from the Wii U version of the game. Our pals over…

News broke recently that officials in the province of Guandong have permitted investment conglomerate Tencent to distribute Nintendo Switch consoles throughout China. The consoles will reportedly feature a special “test version” of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Last year, former President of Nintendo Tatsumi Kimishima did mention the company was looking into making the Switch available in China. Some had expected that Nintendo would partner with Tencent to achieve this after collaborating to release Arena of Valor overseas on…

The Zelda fandom all over the world dreams of different ways, even different places that they can pit our hero Link. Maybe a military shooter where Link wields an assault rifle? Or perhaps even a science fiction game where all of Hyrule is at war in the year 2209? Whatever the case, there are always different kinds of genres we want to be added to the series. Take the artists we’re looking at today, for example, who decided to flip…

Now, let’s get to the featured artwork and artistic prompt that make this series what it is, shall we? Submitted Artwork Last week, we asked you to create artwork of some sort of pet from the Zelda series. We have only one submission this week, but we also…

Throughout its long and twisting history, The Legend of Zelda series has had a somewhat bumpy relationship with magic spells. Ocarina of Time featured three. Farore’s Wind, Din’s Fire, and Nayru’s Love, all designed as obtainable items. Compare this to a more recent title such as Skyward Sword, and you’ll notice a distinct lack of magic spells. Should spells and magic be brought back in a future Zelda title, and if so, what could they do? Of course, we could go down paths well traveled and…
