Among its many other perks, the newly released Switch 2 has allowed the Nintendo Classics library on Switch Online to further expand with the addition of GameCube titles. As of the time of writing, only three GameCube classics are available on the service — F-Zero GX, Soulcalibur II, and, of course, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker — but we’ll no doubt see much more join the party in the coming months. We already know old favorites like Luigi’s…

There has been a lot of debate around the Nintendo Switch 2’s initial release. From pricing decisions, to a lack of launch titles, to the quick sell-outs of the system, Nintendo fans everywhere seem to have something to say about it all. One question I’ve seen from a fair few of consumers, is that of Nintendo releasing revamped versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, only a few years after their initial release. These new versions…

A new week, a new Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest! I hope all you Zelda fans out there can rip yourselves away from your Switch 2s long enough to share your best quips and quibbles with us. Continuing our theme from last time, this week’s contest features a screenshot from Breath of the Wild in honor of its enhanced Switch 2 edition. Things seem to be heating up, so let’s get to it!

We are back with more Switch 2 content, and this week we’re diving into Breath of the Wild, Switch 2 Edition. But it’s dangerous to go alone, so we took the new Zelda Notes app with us! In this episode we talk about the updated version of the game, and what it was like using the different tools that Zelda Notes has to offer. From a daily bonus and amiibo registration, to the incredible interactive map. And of course, we…

In Skyward Sword, you meet Gorko, who somehow runs around the Surface’s many regions with his massive map to discover the secrets of ancient times. He is one of many examples of NPCs in the Zelda series whose primary occupation or obsession is archaeology, and characters started embracing this more prominently in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. It became so prevalent that I started questioning the variety of Hyrule’s NPCs for awhile. Are there too many of them…

The Hyrule Warriors hack-and-slash style of gameplay is a distinct departure from the rest of the Zelda series. Add to it the ability to play as villains and the introductions of canonically questionable characters, and there’s a likelihood you’ve turned away a few Zelda fans who would otherwise play (almost) every other game in the franchise. One element of these games that earns criticism from fans is the repetitiveness of the combat. Despite featuring multiple characters — each having various abilities —…

Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers for DELTARUNE Chapter Three. Continue at your own risk. The Zelda series is not a stranger to being referenced beyond the borders of Hyrule. Many developers have cited the influence of the series on their craft, some going as far as including iconic Zelda imagery into their games, movies, and television shows. For instance, It Takes Two has a secret room modeled after the Guard House in Ocarina of Time and the 2010 movie Scott…

Compared to most popular fiction, the Zelda series’ approach to recurring characters has often been unconventional. Considering the millennia-spanning nature of the canon, the Zelda team doesn’t so much bring characters back as it does reinterpret them. With a few exceptions, most of our “recurring” cast members are either descendants or something akin to reincarnations of pre-established characters. Tears of the Kingdom is no different, having drawn from Ocarina of Time for its ensemble. We received not only a new incarnation…

The Switch 2 is only a week old and The Legend of Zelda already has a strong presence on the new console. With Switch 2 Editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, a game-changing new update to Echoes of Wisdom, The Wind Waker‘s day-one release on the Nintendo Classics library, and with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment releasing later this year, it seems that Zelda fans will have plenty to play for the foreseeable future. That being said, we have yet to hear anything about…

After months of hype, frustration, and frantically checking preorders, Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here! If you were able to pick up the new handheld console hybrid, congratulations! If you want a Nintendo Switch 2 and have not been able to purchase one, we hope you can find one soon! While new games and new ports like Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition are notable launch titles for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo has also released enhanced ports of…
