If you’re anything like me, the Legend of Zelda games provide hundreds of hours of gameplay, especially those in the “Wild Saga”. It took me a year and a half to finish Breath of the Wild, and not because I got stuck and couldn’t figure something out, but because I knew once I entered Hyrule Castle to face Calamity Ganon, Hyrule would be saved and this beautiful quest would be over. I beat Tears of the Kingdom a lot faster…

There has been a wealth of content and discussion on Majora’s Mask and its themes of grief and trauma. Just a few months ago, in fact, another intriguing video on the topic was released. I found this video by The Creepy & The Cozy (TC&TC) refreshing, as it brought a unique spin to the subject that got me once again thinking about the impact this game has had on our personal and collective psyche. After all, as the creator states,…

While Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have taken the Zelda franchise to new heights, longtime fans of the series occasionally yearn for the days of yesteryear, a return to the top-down puzzling and combat of the original. With remakes of the foundational games of other legendary franchises (Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, etc.), some have pondered a remake of the game that started it all: The Legend of Zelda (1986). Developer Llyod Empty has been working to make this dream a…

Masks have played a figurative role in humanity for as long as they’ve played a literal role. They are used to tell stories, to make impressions, and to hide secrets of ourselves and reality. In The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Link and the player utilize a variety of 24 masks to complete personal missions, often requiring a specific mask for a specific task. So, when Link puts on a mask, screams, and then continues on with a new face…

We’re back with another week of Tears of the Kingdom talk as this time we’re discussing our favorite Side Quests! Yes, Side Quests, not Shrine Quests or Side Adventures. From teaching little kids about the Calamity to rebuilding Goddess Statues to racing minigames, we go over our list and detail which quests we found charming and fun and single out one or two that maybe indulged a bit too much (we’re looking at you monster hunter!). Come follow along and…

It’s hard to believe that the most wonderful time of the year is quickly approaching. It feels like just yesterday that we were celebrating the launch of Tears of the Kingdom, but now we’re all having to shift our attention on the upcoming holidays. While some are still enjoying the spooky season, others are preparing for the Christmas decorations they want to buy. The retail greeting card company Hallmark is fully aware of that and are soon releasing a new…

In a recent tweet from Nintendo, the Japanese company revealed that LEGO sets based on the Animal Crossing series are in development. No other details have been revealed other than a short teaser trailer, but it’s nice to see that Nintendo and LEGO’s partnership is continuing to grow. For a lot of fans of Animal Crossing, this is absolutely amazing news since since the series fits the creativity that the Danish toy brick company excels at. Around these parts though,…

Over the last several months, the Candlelight experience, presented by live-entertainment platform Fever, has been bringing the sounds and songs from the Legend of Zelda series to venues across the world. The event, titled The Best of Zelda, centers around dimly-lit (but also extremely lit, literally and figuratively) settings and takes attendees on a roughly one-hour journey through Zelda games from the very first all the way up to Tears of the Kingdom. With The Best of Zelda, Candlelight boasts “the magic of…

We all know that feeling of getting a new game, especially one as highly anticipated as a new Zelda. You read the back of the case and flip through the manual on your way home, dreaming of the adventure that lays in store for you. You pop the game in and as soon as that title flashes across the screen, a rush of emotions overcomes you. Excitement, anticipation, or just the simple wonder that the game you’ve waited so long for…

While Tears of the Kingdom is sure to be lofted by Zelda fans as a tour de force for video games in 2023, we cannot forget where it began over six years ago. Before the Zelda series could run with its most recent entry, it first had to walk into a new open-world with the release of Breath of the Wild back in March 2017. Being lauded as a major change for the franchise, it helped redefine Zelda, much like Ocarina…
