Last week, Video Games Chronicle, Eurogamer, and Bloomberg, citing “multiple sources” and corroborating a report from Brazilian games journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, reported that Nintendo had recently indicated to its third-party partners that it plans to launch its next console — colloquially referred to as the “Switch 2” —  in Q1 2025, seemingly delayed from the presumed release window of “late 2024.” A 2025 release is reportedly “designed to ensure Switch 2’s launch line-up features as many titles as…

Gaming convention PAX East 2024 is set to take place next month in Boston, MA, promising an exciting weekend of panels, demos, performances, tournaments, and more.

What is happening, Zelda fans?! How does another Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest sound? We’re still highlighting some the new characters introduced in Tears of the Kingdom, coming off contests featuring King Rauru, Queen Sonia, and Mineru.

I think we found the perfect someone for that role: Lady Yona from Zora’s Domain!   Last Week’s Contest: Mom and Dad have something…

What’s this?! The 400th Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest?! Before we kick things off, I just want to thank every single person out there who has participated in this feature over the years and made this community so dang fun to be a part of.

Last November, Composer Giovanni Rotondo, known for the 8-bit Time Adventures collection of fan albums, announced a new project inspired by Tears of the Kingdom and the Stable Trotters musical troupe. In the spirit of community collaboration, Rotondo’s Stable Trotters project has provided opportunities for listeners and Zelda community members to shape aspects of the final release through a series of “Choice Quest” surveys. In the months that have followed the announcement, fans have helped decide on the album’s track list, cover art,…

Last month, Nintendo announced the cancellation of Nintendo Live 2024, which was due to take place on January 20th and 21st in Tokyo, Japan.

Luckily for Zelda fans everywhere, Nintendo announced today that the “Legend of Zelda Orchestra Concert” originally planned for Nintendo Live 2024 will be presented on Nintendo’s YouTube channels…

Hi there, Zelda fans! It’s the start of a new week, and that means a new Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest is about to kick off.

Get ready, Zelda fans! Another ZD Caption Contest is about to take off! It’s been almost eight months since Tears of Kingdom hit store shelves, and I’m still dumbfounded by how many toys we have to play with in the game’s massive sandbox. Thanks to abilities like Fuse, combined with an environment full of interactive objects, the possibilities for shenanigans are near endless. So, to honor Tears of the Kingdom‘s wealth of possibility, this week’s contest features one of my…
