This month, I’m joined by Zelda Cast producer Adrielle Munger as we dive into the adorable world of Zelda pets!

We’ve known it was going to happen since last month, but now Nintendo has officially confirmed the date for its Summer Direct event. Fans have been rampantly speculating about when in June the next presentation would drop, and now the Big N has firmly established that it will take place this week. In a recent post, Nintendo announced that there will be a 40-minute Direct presentation on June 18th at 7 AM PST/10AM EST that will focus on Switch games…

Zelda is a series focused on adventure and heroism, with individual soundtracks enveloping players in the land of Hyrule. That music accompanies Link and the player over each hill crested and through each secret discovered. Music is so intrinsically tied to the experience of playing Zelda that hearing a familiar piece in a new arrangement is as exciting as it is enticing. Musician and multi-instrumentalist Tim de Man’s Hyrule Highlands III captures the excitement of adventuring through Hyrule by reimagining…

You tell them all your secrets. You talk for hours on the phone each night. You get matching bracelets. You argue over a mutual crush. Our closest friends in high school define an all-important part of our lives and help shape who we are today. With an ever-growing list of characters from the Zelda franchise possessing an array of traits, quirks, and personalities, there’s a variety to choose from when contemplating who would be your teenage bestie.

The Zelda Dungeon Marathon begins today which means there’ll be plenty of Zelda-themed fun on Twitch for the next week. There’ll be competitive races, fun gimmick events, trivia, puzzles, and all kinds of on-screen fun for those who tune in (and all for a good cause too). I’m crossing the Atlantic to attend the event for the third time, and I’m so excited! The only thing better than watching the ZD team do their gaming thing is to actually be…

Hades 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Supergiant Games’ groundbreaking, myth-inspired rouge-like. The original Hades released in 2018 to strong sales and universal critical acclaim, and it’s now held up in the larger gaming community as one of the best games of the past decade, if not all time. Many Zelda fans are even diving deep into the world Supergiant created, and one artist is blending them into something magical. Illustrator Cathiane recently answered a question we didn’t know…

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a game needing little introduction. The Nintendo 64 classic that successfully brought Nintendo’s beloved franchise into the third dimension is widely regarded as a masterpiece. Not only is it one of the few Zeldas with a direct sequel, Nintendo revisited the title with increased difficulty in Master Quest. A group of dedicated fans and modders recently released Ultimate Trial, a new Ocarina of Time read-only memory (or ROM) hack. The mod is…

The NPCs of the Zelda world are colorful, quirky, and, sometimes, unsettling. Some of the more curious individuals are the many fortune tellers waiting to guide Link on his journey, or provide lost gamers with a hint. There are fortune tellers in A Link to the Past (Fortune Tellers in the Light and Dark Worlds), Twilight Princess (Fanadi), Phantom Hourglass (Astrid), Spirit Tracks (Wise One), A Link Between Worlds (Fortune Teller in Hyrule and Witch in Lorule), and Skyward Sword…

I loved playing through Breath of the Wild when it first released, so much so that I didn’t want the game to end. I wanted more. That’s why I was so delighted to get the first DLC pack for the game, The Master Trials. This expansion made Breath of the Wild outstanding, offering different ways to play the game with Master Mode and the gauntlet of the Trial of the Sword. But could things be taken further? Surely there was still…

In a recently published interview from CGMagazine, Tears of the Kingdom voice actors Patricia Summersett and Sean Chiplock discussed their influences on their voicework, how their characters evolved through the Zelda series, and even some ideas for casting Link or other roles in the upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie. Patricia Summersett has voiced Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom. Sean Chiplock meanwhile voiced Revali, Teba, and the Great Deku Tree in Breath…
