If you’ve been around Zelda Dungeon for awhile, then you already know that this is not the first time Zelda Dungeon has covered a Zelda manga adaptation. We originally covered Ocarina of Time many, many years ago, but now it’s time to shed some light…

What a fantastic year it has been for video games! Different outlets have reported lists labeling the best and brightest games of 2023, and now Game Informer has joined the fray with their Top 10 Games of 2023. I’ll spare everyone the details of going through all ten games one by one, but powerhouse titles like the remake of Resident Evil 4, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Baldur’s Gate 3 make the list. But one game towers above them all, and…

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone that celebrates! I really love this is my favorite time of year, and it’s the season of giving!

Personally I would love to have a Tears of the…

This year’s annual Game Awards streamed live on various social media platforms last night, and Tears of the Kingdom was nominated for a variety of awards, including Game of the Year. Tears of the Kingdom did snag the award for Best Action/Adventure Game, but fell short in other categories it was nominated for. So what did you think of Tears of the Kingdom’s performance at The Game Awards? Honestly, I’m a little bummed that Tears of the Kingdom did not…

Composer Giovanni Rotondo has taken on the endeavor of crafting an album based upon Tears of the Kingdom‘s musical troupe The Stable Trotters. We recently covered a lot of the details on his upcoming album here, but we now have some updates on the collaborative fan project and the results of the first audience polling initiative which helped settle on a final tracklist. According to Rotondo, fans’ participation in the Stable Trotters project thus far has been “extraordinary,” and their…

Earlier this year, Tears of the Kingdom introduced the musical troupe The Stable Trotters. You will likely first encounter the troupe when you begin the Side Adventure “Serenade to a Great Fairy.” This quest line takes you across Hyrule as you look for the missing musicians in the troupe in order to coax each Great Fairy out of her cocoon and back into the world. The Stable Trotters’ adventure to serenade each Great Fairy was definitely a memorable one. It…
