Let’s be real here: for a character that says little more than “hyah!” Link has some great facial expressions. Who says he needs to talk to convey emotions? He’s perfectly capable of expressing anything from dismay to glee. Take our Link from The Wind Waker. His face is so expressive! When he smiles, players can almost see him chuckle. When his face goes flat and he’s not amused, we can hear him just mentally sighing with a single word: “Seriously?”…

The Zelda series has gone on for 3+ decades. From one generation to the next, this series has been held near and dear by so many kids of all ages (even adult-kids like myself). We’ve traveled through time. We’ve escaped to dark worlds and realms of twilight. We’ve traversed seas, flew on the backs of birds, and once, we even drove a train. It’s hard to imagine that something so loved could ever come to an end, right? But…what if this…

Let’s be real here: before the bombshell Nintendo dropped on us during the September 13th Direct, many of us had started to lose (or completely lost) faith in the sequel to Breath of the Wild. It almost became an Internet joke to mock their secrecy. A sort of painful chuckle, if you will. While many celebrated the Direct’s short sequel presentation, there were still murmurs of, “Why did it take so long?” I don’t want to ponder why Nintendo kept their…

Guys, Nintendo hit us this morning with news of a 40-minute Direct scheduled for tomorrow, September 13th, at 7 AM PT (10 AM ET). And, of course, we here at Zelda Dungeon could not help but be hopeful for some Zelda news. Rumors have been going around that the next Direct could bring us news we’ve been waiting for. Some rumors have said that we might finally get Twilight Princess on the Switch, while others believe the next title ported will…

Previous Chapter   Chapter Four: Drumbeat   I have been trapped here for ages. I have seen the rise and fall of this kingdom from below the surface, cycle after cycle passing since the time I last breathed. I once bided my time, watching and waiting for the day I was discovered and arisen from my slumbers, to feast upon the nightmares of those who walk this land. The pounding of their hearts would be the beat of my drum,…

Previous Chapter   Chapter Three: One Last Desperate Hope   We see you. Through that mask, we know who you are, and we remember everything we’ve suffered at the hands of your family. Your ancestors found their worries comforted in our pain, their woes shed with the falling of our blood. They feared us, feared that we would steal the power they believed they were owed by Goddesses who have forsaken this land. Power they would not share, and would…

It’s nearly that time of year again! In just a matter of days, much of the Zelda Dungeon crew will come together to play for you as many Zelda games as we can, plus a couple of other titles. The goal? To raise money for kids! The 2022 Zelda Dungeon Marathon will run from noon on July 16th through July 23rd, streaming live on our Twitch channel. This year, all proceeds raised during those seven days will go towards the…

You once told me that you stopped praying to the Goddesses, that you prayed to my mother instead. You said that you felt more connected to someone you knew, someone you loved, than you did with an ancient deity you had never met. My mother could hear you, you said, and she cared. At the time, it felt somewhat sacrilegious to me, denying the Goddesses in such a way. I sought my power from them, after all. Now, looking back,…

Previous Chapter   Chapter Two: The Buried and the Damned   “We will hide here for now.” “Impa, we have to go back! We can’t just-” “No, Highness, we will hide here.” “But Link might need help, and my father is still in the castle! We can’t just leave them!” “Highness, please understand-” “Take me back, Impa! I can’t just hide here! What about my father, my people?” “We will stay here.” “You want me to just hide as everything…
