Breath of the Wild introduced some really cool elements, like gathering ingredients for cooking food, and mining ore for jewellery-making or selling.  It also introduced the issue of content which was weapon durability.  These inclusions added some spice to the typical Zelda game and I’ve been wondering how Nintendo plan to top themselves in the upcoming sequel.  After some thought, I believe the perfect way to do this is to allow players to craft their own weapons.  We’ve seen something…

As part of the celebrations for the Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary, Animal Crossing: New Horizons received an update which allowed players to purchase some really cool Super Mario-themed furniture and items.  Players raced to the Special Goods section of their Nook Shopping to get their hands on Fire Flowers, Floating Blocks, Goal Poles and more.  With such an awesome way of celebrating the franchises big occasion, it seemed natural to assume that The Legend of Zelda would be next…

The Magic Meter is a recurring element in the Zelda series, granting Link special abilities that made gameplay feel so much more exciting.  It made its first rather basic appearance in The Adventure of Link but became more of a staple in later 3D games, with its final appearance in The Wind Waker.  I’ve often wondered why the Magic Meter wasn’t carried over to Twilight Princess, especially because it seemed like such a natural part of the series during the…

The namesake of our favorite series has made some important decisions for her kingdom, each with its own consequences, and it could be argued that some choices were smarter than others. It makes me wonder, which incarnation of Princess Zelda was the wisest? Let’s look at Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time. This incarnation made one of the most impactful decisions ever by splitting…

It’s Halloween, and that means it’s the perfect excuse to debate the scariest locations in the Zelda universe. Our favorite franchise has some horrifying haunts that I definitely wouldn’t like to be trapped in during the spooky season! But, which place in the Zelda series do you think is the spookiest? To kick us off, I think the obvious answer is the Bottom of the Well, a location that can be found in both Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. This…

It’s almost Halloween, which means it’s the perfect excuse to dress up as your favorite Zelda character.  It’s time to pull your costumes out, or get sewing if you prefer to make your own new one.  But then comes the ultimate choice — which character should you actually dress up as? The Zelda universe has a plethora of characters and creatures to dress up as, and some of them really fit the Halloween theme.  An obvious choice would be to…

Firstly, we should take the enemy’s environment into consideration.  The…
