Here at Zelda Dungeon, we know the community can get creative with ways to show appreciation for our favorite franchise.  Whether it’s collecting Zelda merchandise, cosplaying, or simply playing the games, you each express your love for the series in your own way.  Personally, I do a little bit of all those aforementioned activities, but there’s one more thing I’d like to add to my list, and that’s to get a Zelda-themed tattoo! I’ve seen some really cool tattoos that…

When we pick up our controller to play a Zelda game, we often slide straight into the mindset of Link and set off on wonderous adventure throughout Hyrule.  We might jump right into battle with some enemy or another, or decide to follow the odd sidequest or two.  It’s a hero’s life and if we’re playing the game, we’re usually onboard with that.  But what if that wasn’t our destiny?  What if we found ourselves in the position of an…

Do you have a passion for writing fan fiction?  Are you obsessed with The Legend of Zelda?  Have you got a story that you’d love to share on the biggest Zelda fan-site there is?  If you’ve answered yes to all three of these questions, then we should talk!

The Zelda series is host to a world of NPCs, each designed to fill space, offer advice and helpful hints, and even to deliver the odd side quest or two.  There are some popular NPCs that we love, like Anju and Kafei from Majora’s Mask, who’ve indeed delivered one of the most popular side quests in the history of the franchise, and then there are those that we find more irksome than the rest. My most recent playthrough of Twilight…

I don’t know about you, but personally, I really enjoy Valentine’s Day and the whole commercialized, lovey-dovey hype that comes with it. Give me the romantic date, complete with red roses, heart-shaped chocolates, and whatever else is traditionally associated with February 14th — I’m here for it! I do like to go out of my way on the day of love, but if there was one thing that could make it more special (and by that I mean all-encompassing and…

If you look back across the series, you’ll notice that most Zelda games incorporate the use of a musical instrument to enact magical actions.  Whether it’s the instrument itself, or the notes and sounds strung together in harmony through it, the resulting music and associated powers have been quite prevalent throughout Link’s adventure. We’ve seen musical instruments play a huge part in some fan-favorite games, like Majora’s Mask.  Players got to experience the Deku Pipes, Zora Guitar, and Goron Drums,…

The Zelda series is my form of a comfort blankie. When I play any game from what is ultimately my favorite franchise, I feel completely content. Whether I’m traversing Hyrule Field in Ocarina of Time, or running for my life as a Guardian chases me in Breath of the Wild, I know my time has been well spent (for me, at least). And this very thought leads me to wonder just how much time I’ve sunk into playing Zelda games…

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity fans got a treat during Koei Tecmo’s live presentation at Tokyo Game Show 2021, as gameplay footage of character duo Purah & Robbie was shown off for the first time. Purah & Robbie were announced as inclusions to the game’s playable roster during September’s Nintendo Direct, with their debut taking place in the game’s upcoming DLC expansion Guardian of Remembrance. During this morning’s presentation, fans received a taste of what it will be like to…
