When it comes to Zelda-inspired games, indie title Hyper Light Drifter may be one of the most highly-acclaimed. We’ve even discussed the game previously, sharing how the game has wowed our staff by taking inspiration from the kind of dungeon crawling and combat found in A Link to the Past. Now the Hyper Light universe is back with a new title launching in 2023: Hyper Light Breaker. In their recent gameplay reveal trailer, publisher Gearbox Publishing and developer Heart Machine…

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time introduced the ocarina to many Zelda fans for the first time and elevated the instrument’s recognition in popular culture. Now, ocarina novices and enthusiasts alike have the chance to support a new Kickstarter campaign for “The Ocarina through Time,” a comprehensive online museum which will make the rich history and cultural significance of the ocarina accessible to more people all around the world. “The Ocarina through Time” Kickstarter campaign runs now through April…

It feels as though time is rushing forward in a mad dash towards spring. For me that means trying to sidestep as much southern U.S. pollen as possible while temperatures swing wildly towards freezing one day and summer temperatures the next, but for you that may mean getting past midterms, going on spring break, or just getting through another month of the daily grind. The march of time also brings us closer daily to the highly-anticipated release of Tears of…

We here at Zelda Dungeon have recently been doing some teamwide introspection, particularly regarding just how easy it is to contribute to a Zelda journalism “snowball” as discussed in The Hyrule Journals‘ recent video “The Snowball Effect of Zelda Journalism.” While our editorial team works hard to try to ensure that Zelda Dungeon doesn’t contribute to the next big Zelda misinformation dogpile, it’s very easy to fall into traps when so many new stories and outlets lead with hype over…

Crossing Crafts, a maker of video game and anime-themed sculptures, dioramas, and miniatures who also goes by Diana, is at it again with her superb Zelda-themed builds. Most recently, she made a mesmerizing Light-Up Fang & Bone from Breath of the Wild. Like many of us, Crossing Crafts is counting down the seconds to the release of Tears of the Kingdom, but in the meantime, she’s cooked up something special for us to enjoy while we wait. A self-described sucker…

One of my favorite things to do in Breath of the Wild is soaring around Hyrule using the paraglider. My thinking on this in the past has been that the only thing limiting the fun is the height of whatever landmark you decide to take off from (and whether or not you have Revali’s Gale charged up). An obvious overall limitation, however, is that you can’t gain altitude once you’re in the air — it’s just gliding, after all, not…

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link seems to be one of those Zelda games that you either appreciate or shudder at the memory of. Whether you love it or hate it, though, the title is nostalgic for many. Recently, Melora over at History of Hyrule restored the Nintendo Power Issue 04 poster insert showing off Zelda II’s map of Hyrule. Available for viewing over on the Internet Archive and Melora’s Flickr profile, the restored map has been uploaded in high…

While I’ve been fearful to ultimately recognize the cold hard truth, it does feel like the latest Tears of the Kingdom trailer more or less confirms (to me, anyway) that once again Princess Zelda will be placed in a more distant, damsel-in-distress role in yet another Zelda title. While I have lots of high hopes for the new game that generally feel realistic, a playable Zelda just isn’t one of them. That being said, the newest trailer did show some…

Absolute chills — this is what I felt when watching the most recent Tears of the Kingdom trailer, which debuted during Nintendo’s February 8, 2023 Direct. I am so excited for May to get here! Between the mysterious and villainous voice heard in the trailer’s opening (Ganondorf? Is that you?), to the storm-swept landscape, to the new depictions of various machines and vehicles Link seems to be able to interact with, there’s so much new material to speculate about. I…
