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…

Chapter One: Into the Crypt There are ghosts down here. Dark spirits and monsters. Forgotten battles of the dead and the damned. Silence that echoes through barren halls and stilled hearts. Down here, we are buried. Down here, we are lost. Down here, we cannot speak. Souls of history that the kings of annals would rather forget, condemned to fight as demons and malice only written in tales you tell to your children, dark tales of history. We fought you….

Guys, the time has come to revisit a fan favorite. The first truly “dark” Zelda game, a tale of a boy, a separated fairy, a strange land with a strange clocktower, and three days to save the world. It’s a tale of adventure and love and fear as we walk through the lands of Termina, trying to stop the moon’s wicked decent armed with a sword and the masks we’ve collected along the way. I’m talking, of course, about a…

Sometimes, heroes need a helping hand. They’re doing their best to fight evil, explore dungeons and vast lands, racing against time to change the fate of worlds, make massive feasts (to replenish health and stamina, of course)… They cannot do it all themselves! And Link? Well, several games in the Zelda series prove that he is no exception. Yet, no one stops to consider what it is like to fight alongside the Hero of Hyrule as he stumbles his way to…
