Having recently played through Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and with the hype surrounding Tears of the Kingdom being less than two months away, I have been wondering how Age of Calamity might connect to this much-anticipated sequel. Seeing that the new Champions from Breath of the Wild returned back to their apocalyptic world at the end of the battle with Calamity Ganon in Age of Calamity, I have wondered if they will mention the time they spent helping Link…

Making Princess Zelda a playable character has been a common request from Zelda fans for years now. In fact, when Skyward Sword was in development, the producers almost added on a second adventure that took us on Zelda’s journey to reawakening her memories as Hylia. So the idea of her being playable in the future doesn’t seem too far off. Seeing that she only appeared in Breath of the Wild through memories and during a few short scenes in the…

As a a long-time Zelda fanatic, I’ve grown used to Zelda games coming and going with new characters, new terrain, and a new Link and Zelda to get to know and love (apart from a few exceptions). Most Zelda titles are standalones, but the rare sequels usually place Link in a whole new world with new baddies to best and no sign of Princess Zelda anywhere (like in Majoras Mask or Link’s Awakening). That’s why Tears of the Kingdom is…

After watching the new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I believe we are getting one of the best, if not the best entry in the series this May. I can’t wait to return to this land of Hyrule that I’ve already come to know and love, complete with characters I’ve grown attached to. However, I can’t wait to see the new characters who will be introduced this time around, and from the look of the trailer,…

What’s better than Zelda merchandise? Zelda merchandise you can eat, of course! To promote the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Bandai Candy in Japan is releasing exclusive Chuchu-shaped gummy candy alongside the game in May. Given the fact that Chuchu enemies in the series already look like gummies anyway, I think it’s a fantastic idea! Although despite the variety of colors, they are all grape flavored, which is an interesting choice. Alongside the sweet treats,…

So far this year, I have been on a mission to replay all the Zelda games to prepare myself for Tears of the Kingdom. As I just finished A Link to the Past after getting hooked on it for a few weeks, I’ve been thinking about what Zelda games are the most replayable. For me, I often find myself reaching most for Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Breath of the Wild, and Skyward Sword. Although I…

Ever since the new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dropped, I have been screaming. I’m surprised you can’t hear me! I am hyped. As I’ve watched it numerous times and broken down every second, though, I have so many questions. There is a lot going on in Hyrule this time around, and it looks like this might be the most dire situation Link has ever been faced with (apart from his time in Termina). One…

After finally getting a full trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from the most recent Nintendo Direct, I have been hyped about nearly every second of it! There are so many questions I need answers to. But the parts of the trailer that gave me all the excitement was seeing new enemies that we will be facing this time around. From the look of things, there is a three-headed dragon guarding the Bridge of Hylia that…

Dungeons and Zelda go hand in hand. They are like Link and Princess Zelda, Kafei and Anju, and Revali and his pride — one would not be complete without the other! Throughout the past 37 (whoa!) years of Zelda, we have seen a plethora of unique dungeons and temples in each entry in the series. These dungeons have always been a staple throughout each adventure in Hyrule, and they often pose challenges for our favorite green-clad hero, giving him the…

Just imagine. It’s the late 90’s, and you’re just a kid playing through your first ever Zelda game — Ocarina of Time — on the Nintendo 64. For the most part, things haven’t been too difficult! You’ve conquered The Great Deku Tree, snuck past the guards at Hyrule Castle to meet Princess Zelda, received the Goron’s Ruby, and painstakingly carried Princess Ruto through the disgusting depths of Lord Jabu Jabu. And here you are — ready for the next big…
