Late last year, Nintendo revealed its interactive gaming-themed alarm clock dubbed Alarmo. Following its release, Alarmo had only been available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, but that exclusivity has finally lifted. Now, all gamers and Nintendo enthusiasts alike can “wake up in the world of Nintendo” because the interactive clock is available to order on the My Nintendo Store, with no Nintendo Switch Online subscription required. Nintendo Sound Clock: #Alarmo is now available on My Nintendo store, no Nintendo Switch…

A Zelda game isn’t complete without a banger soundtrack, and each game has yet to disappoint. There are hundreds of iconic songs throughout the series that can evoke so many different emotions and endless nostalgia. The “Song of Storms,” “Ballad of the Goddess,” “Midna’s Lament,” “Clock Town,” “Kakariko Village,” “Dragon Roost Island,” and so many more songs like these hold a special place in my heart! However, I do have a few favorites that don’t often make top tier lists…

We’re in that period of downtime between Zelda games. Echoes of Wisdom released last year and Nintendo has yet to announce what’s coming next for the franchise. While we’ll have Zelda on the Switch 2 eventually, the soonest we’d likely find out anything about the series on the Switch’s successor would be April’s Switch 2 Direct. If you’re eager to get back to exploring Hyrule, we have something to tide you over until Nintendo tells us what’s next. Let us…

Representing each main source of power throughout the land of Hyrule, the Secret Stones from Tears of the Kingdom are what drove the key parts of the story. And while these Secret Stone necklaces from creator Adrian Guevara of Aegis Printing on Etsy will not give you that same kind of power, they’ll certainly look nice hanging around your neck. Made using a combination of resin, 3D printing, and suede, these Secret Stone necklaces are well detailed, with the Zonai…

It’s Valentine’s Day, and I’ll admit that I’m a sucker this particular date with all its romance and pomp. I love the flowers, gifts, and gestures both big and small that come as part of the whole palaver. Of course, I’m also a Zelda fan, so I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss my perfect Valentine’s Day in Hyrule! First of all, even though I’m the one with the ideas, I wouldn’t actually know what’s coming — the whole…

In the last few decades, Nintendo has gone to great lengths to preserve its first-party titles from years gone by. The Nintendo Wii, Wii U, and 3DS had robust Virtual Console libraries with individual titles for sale on the eShop before the services shut down. The NES Classic and Super NES Classic mini-consoles, which each consolidated a few dozen retro titles on a miniature version of the ancestral hardware, were commercial successes in the mid-2010s. Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) continues…

The season of love is here, and the vibes have had me thinking about the love stories showcased in each Zelda game. I’ve been thinking of not just the love that’s shared between Link and Zelda (which I always fangirl over), but the many love stories happening in the background. When you get to know the NPCs that wander around in each game, there is a lot more tea and spiciness going around than it seems at first glance! I…

There are many items found in Zelda dungeons. You have the classic items that find their way into lots of games, like the Boomerang. You also have items with more… unique capabilities, such as the Spinner found in Twilight Princess’s Arbiter’s Grounds. Do the Runes from Breath of the Wild qualify as dungeon items? I would probably classify those as gameplay mechanics, but I will say the Champions’ abilities count. Accounting for everything, which of these items reigns supreme on the spectrum…

Charity gaming marathon Zeldathon will be collaborating with Florida-based video game music coalition Ongaku Overdrive to host a live charity concert stream airing this Sunday called Fairy Fountain: Hearts for LA, which will be raising money for LA Wildfire Relief. One of the key figures helping put this event together is Kent Ward, the founder of Ongaku Overdrive. Known mainly for the concerts his group puts on in Central Florida, Ward has been hosting video game music events for nearly…

While Echoes of Wisdom has generally received praise for its creativity and freedom, one element of the game has been a point of criticism for many fans and journalists: the game’s menu system for selecting echoes. While Nintendo did include a few options for filtering through or reordering echoes (“Last Used,” “Most Used,” “Last Learned,” “Cost,” and “Type”), using a variety of the 127 available echoes can mean spending a significant amount of time scrolling through the long horizontal list…
