Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope that everyone has a great day full of love, and chocolate. The Legend of Zelda has brought us many amazing stories over the years, and hidden within the main stories of our favorite Zelda games are stories of love. There are stories of romantic love, love between siblings, and the bonds of love between friends. Please note – I’m not discussing ships here, but actual cannon relationships within the series. So what is your favorite…

So, today is Valentine’s Day. The day when love, expressed in all forms, is celebrated in a frenzy of red hearts, chocolates, and general soppiness. Have you ever wondered how Link and Zelda might celebrate? Well, artist and voice actor Pringus McDingus has created a brand new animation exploring this very thought. Link has come to call on Zelda, ready to present his valentine with a romantic Silent Princess flower. Feeling unprepared, Zelda promptly slams the door in his face!…

“Diversity in Zelda” is an ongoing series in which we highlight the Legend of Zelda’s approach to inclusivity, spotlight relevant characters, and speak with Zelda fans from marginalized communities. It is our desire for the installments of this series to be received with open minds, and civil discussions between readers are encouraged. When one thinks of The Legend of Zelda, and Nintendo as a whole really, images of all these larger-than-life characters and incredibly grandiose settings come to mind. The…

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Big props to L-O-V-E! Here in the States, late winter and spring are pretty quiet when it comes to holidays. And bleak. Big parts of the country are still muddling through the cold, so it’s fun to be distracted by the warmth of romance and friendship. Maybe that’s why Valentine’s captures the imagination. By the time my school teachers stopped offering Valentine exchanges, my parents were encouraging me to write my own greetings in things like…

Content Creator and modder Waikuteru has recreated the secret “Debug Room” from Breath of the Wild. This area, called the “MarioClubTestDungeon,” only exists in the game files for Breath of the Wild. The creator dug into the files and was able to pull out which weapons, items, food, and other goodies that were placed into the room initially. A de-bugging room usually exists to check various features for the game before release. Waikuteru was able to take what they found…

Myths come to life in Ubisoft’s new title: Immortals Fenyx Rising! Players will take control of Fenyx, a self-doubting Shield-bearer/storyteller, as they go from obscurity to the only hope for humanity and the gods as the titan, Typhon, escapes Tartaros with intents to purge the world to reshape it to his liking. Beginning life as an idea sparked by a bug in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey that turned the crew of certain Triremes into cyclopes, Ubisoft Quebec decided they wanted to…

Princess Zelda is a multifaceted character who has developed from a damsel in distress to a powerful political player, a researcher, a sorcerous, a warrior, a leader, and a legend. By virtue of this complexity, Zelda is an inspiring female character who breaks down gender roles game after game. Despite her many changes over the series’ 35 year history, Zelda has never been anything other than white. This is a shame. And a missed opportunity to signal to women of…

February 21st marks the 35th anniversary of the release of The Legend of Zelda. While we are all eagerly waiting an announcement from Nintendo on new Zelda content to mark the anniversary, we here at Zelda Dungeon have our own celebration planned. On the weekend of February 20th and 21st, we will be hosting a 35-hour live stream on our Twitch Account. Beginning at 10am EST on the 20th, I will be streaming a gauntlet of Zelda speedruns. Beginning with…

As Breath of the Wild demonstrated, one of the best parts of any Zelda game is the simple act of exploring the world. Some games like the original The Legend of Zelda simply drop you in and allow you to explore everything, limited only by your knowledge and skill. Other times there will be a short opening sequence with limited ability to explore before completing something, such as the Great Deku Tree dungeon of Ocarina of Time.  No matter when…

||  Part Thirty-Three  ||  Part Thirty-Five  || Part Thirty-Four “What’ll it be, honey?” a portly bartender asked, swabbing the bottom of a cloudy glass with a filthy rag. “Ale,” the hooded traveler replied. “Don’t see many travelers alone these days,” she remarked, turning to the keg mounted on the back counter. “Where ya headed?” “I’m meeting somebody.” She nodded, sticking her lip out, “Course ya are. That wasn’t the question though. I asked where you was headed.” The traveler remained…
