Although Breath of the Wild is one of the bestselling games of all time, many Zelda fans complained at its “pieced together” story, wishing for something a little more linear. I, for one, actually did enjoy the story when it all came together…

About a month ago, the hype for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was real. Theories were discussed, trailers were played on repeat, and preorders were selling out! Now that we’ve been playing for over a month, I have a question for you: Is Tears of the Kingdom everything you wanted it to be? Do you enjoy the story as much as you wanted to? Did you see the improvements that you were longing for in Breath of…

It’s always a glorious day full of anticipation and joy when a Nintendo Direct is announced! And one was just announced for tomorrow at 7 AM Pacific Time / 10 AM Eastern Time! With Tears of the Kingdom having been out for over a month, who knows what information we might be getting tomorrow! For me, I am always hopeful that we will be getting more Zelda games ported to the Switch (I will never stop longing for The Wind…

Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for the opening story moments of Tears of the Kingdom. The comments section might also contain spoilers. The first question I had of Tears of the Kingdom from the get-go stemmed from Princess Zelda’s use of the word “Gloom” to describe the substance rising from the depths of Hyrule Castle. Gloom? What about Malice? That’s what the gunk was called in Breath of the Wild! However, as the sequel progressed, I noticed a distinct difference…

Spoiler Warning: The comments section in this article may contain spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Having put hours and hours into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, with still so many unknowns to discover, I have been wondering, does it measure up to the rest of the series — to my favorite Zelda games in the past? As I have traversed Hyrule’s mainland, skies, and depths, with still so much to unveil, I…

It hasn’t even been a week since its launch, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is already the franchise’s fastest-selling game in history. Having already sold ten million copies worldwide, as announced by Nintendo, Tears of the Kingdom is officially the second best-selling Zelda game ever, surpassing Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess within days of its release. Breath of the Wild still remains at the top of the list with 29.81 million units sold since its release…

The more I watch the trailers for Tears of the Kingdom (I’ve lost count at how many times I’ve seen them) the more questions I have. One in particular question stems from the latest and final trailer: Are there two Master Swords in this adventure? At one point, we’ve seen that the Master Sword Link is holding in some clips gets absolutely trashed by Ganondorf’s Malice. It looks melted and unsalvageable. However, in other clips, we see Princess Zelda holding…

After four years since its announcement, we are officially a week a way from the worldwide release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Fans everywhere are losing sleep, taking days off work, and preparing for what is likely to be one of the most epic adventures of all time. To add to the hype, Nintendo of America has announced that there will be a special Treehouse live event on May 11th to celebrate the game’s midnight release…

All this year, I have been prepping myself for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s release! In preparation, I’ve played through Breath of the Wild and Ocarina of Time, and now I’m almost done with Skyward Sword. These three of my all-time favorites seem like they will be most helpful regarding the lore behind Tears of the Kingdom (although all the games are a must) because they explain a lot of Ganondorf’s origins and focus on the relationship…

Wow. What a final trailer! At last we are only weeks away from Tears of the Kingdom’s release, and that final trailer just showed us that there is a massive story to be unpacked throughout this game. As Ganondorf was unveiled and declared himself “King,” I couldn’t help but recall his role in Ocarina of Time as the Gerudo King of Thieves. Tears of the Kingdom marks the first game he has appeared in alongside Gerudo since Ocarina of Time,…
