Have you heard? We’re getting a Hyrule Warriors game set during Tears of the Kingdom’s Imprisoning War! Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a canonical Zelda story coming to Switch 2 later this year.

Comments I’ve seen online show the news of Age of Imprisonment took many of us by surprise. When…

So much actually that we had to break up the episode into two parts! This week, we’re tackling questions like: do we think we’ll play as the Ancient Hero Aspect in Age of Imprisonment? What do we think of the Zelda movie’s release date? Is Tears of the Kingdom’s Imprisoning War the same…

To say the Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2 delivered in more ways than one is putting it mildly. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are getting Switch 2 Editions that’ll make the titles run smoother than ever before, an unexpected new chapter in the Hyrule Warriors series is happening in the form of Age of Imprisonment, and The Wind Waker is finally coming to a Switch system via the introduction of select GameCube games on the recently renamed Nintendo Classics platform…

In the wake of the April 2nd Switch 2 Direct, the internet has been (to put it lightly) hyper-reactive to anything related to the new console. News, speculation, and misinformation have been swirling, so much so that many find it difficult to distinguish between what is true and what’s pure fiction. Today, we’re going to tackle some of the biggest concerns being expressed in posts and comments to see what’s really going on. Let’s start by addressing why there is…

Zelda games are full of references to one another. Many of the references are by name. It’s hard to go five minutes in Breath of the Wild without stumbling on a location named after a previous title: Koholit Rock is likely a reference to Link’s Awakening‘s Koholint Island, Gorko Tunnel shares its name with Skyward Sword‘s traveling Goron, and Horon Lagoon references Oracle of Seasons‘s Horon Village. Eldin, Faron, and Lanayru are named after the golden goddesses Din, Farore, and…
