29 years ago, The Legend of Kora (no, not that one!) was born. On this occasion, I’ve been reflecting on the game that came out closest to my birth year: 1993’s The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. It’s a game I’d actually like to get to know better. It would be well into the 2000s before I would even become aware of the existence of Link’s Awakening, when a family member lent me the cartridge that I would pop a…

Not only was A Link to the Past and Four Swords released for Nintendo Switch Online today, but we also got some even bigger news: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has been announced for September 26 of this year, to be accompanied by the release of an official Hylian Crest Switch Lite….

Today, at least for our readers in the United States, you might be enjoying a day on the lake, grilling out, or looking forward to an evening fireworks show for Memorial Day. While many people take advantage of the federal holiday to ring in the summer months with a fun day off (I’m certainly one of these!), the underlying emphasis of the day is in the name — to mourn and honor those who have died serving in the military….

When sticker and fan merch websites like Redbubble first became popular, you could tell a person’s favorite memes and jokes just by looking at their water bottle. It was easy to find even niche references to slap onto your belongings on the cheap, back when the marketplace for these things was wild and free. In college, my laptop was covered in Undertale scenes and various stand-up one-liners about being an English major. As many fan artists and sticker lovers know,…

Early this morning, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced some big news: we’ll officially be learning more about the successor to the Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. “It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015,” Furukawa said. Now, by the end of the Japanese fiscal year in March 2025, it seems we’ll know more about what the future holds in store for the next iteration of Nintendo hardware. Furukawa…

If you were fully aware of all the great things Nintendo had on offer from 2011 to 2012, this period in Zelda history is probably a strongly nostalgic time for you. I was in my mid-teens, and was primarily focused on Skyward Sword. I was also completely obsessed with the 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD that came with the newest series title, even though…

On February 26th, 2024, Nintendo filed a U.S. federal lawsuit against Tropic Haze, alleging that the developer is responsible for the pirating of over 1 million copies of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom during the week and a half preceding the title’s May 12th, 2023 release. According to Nintendo, Tropic Haze’s open-source Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu gives users the ability to “unlawfully decrypt and play virtually any Nintendo Switch game — including Nintendo’s current generation and most…

I personally haven’t begun a complete replay of Breath of the Wild, but there are some projects so inspiring that I’ve started to think enough time has passed that perhaps I’m finally ready to start that new save file. Nearly seven years after the release of the game, and almost two years after beginning his project, Zelda fan and Minecraft creator Grazzy is now only a few major regions away from completing his monumental goal: building the entire Breath of…
