How’s it shaking, Zelda fans? Just in time for the long Thanksgiving weekend, Zelda Dungeon’s Caption Contest is back again to bring the laughs! With Turkey Day just around the corner, I knew I wanted to feature a bird of some kind from Tears of the Kingdom in this week’s contest. And while I was tempted to once again shine the spotlight on my boy Penn, I instead decided to choose a seemingly sentient Cuccoo from the side quest “Feathered…

The internet has been set ablaze this past year by a half-dozen rumors and reports about a supposed Nintendo Switch successor due out in the near future. Industry analysts, unnamed manufacturers and development partners, and so-called “insiders” have all claimed that a new Nintendo console, often referred to as the “Switch 2,” is well along in development and coming out as early as next year. One particularly specific report indicated that Nintendo had even privately presented “next-generation” hardware to select…

With The Minish Cap and the Oracle games coming to Nintendo Switch Online (and its Expansion Pack) this year, Nintendo is running out of classic Zelda titles to add to their online service. In fact, of the mainline Zelda games originally released on NSO’s current set of supported systems, the Game Boy Advance release of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Four Swords is the only one left out. So, while we wait for the fateful day more…

Halloween is nearly here, Zelda fans. And like an undead soul rising once again to haunt the realm of the living, the Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest is back after a brief hiatus. After kicking off spooky season with a screenshot of Tears of the Kingdom‘s Blood Moon, we were left with only one way to finish the month: a spotlight on Tears‘ horrifically made-over Gibdos! The mummies we remember from Zelda games past are no more; we’ve now got shambling,…

British power metal superstars DragonForce are no strangers to video games. Rhythm game fans, for example, may remember the group’s classic track “Through the Fire and Flames” acting as the ultimate challenge in 2007’s Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Well, DragonForce and the realms of gaming have intersected once again, and, this time, The Legend of Zelda is the point of intersection. DragonForce announced their ninth studio album Warp Speed Warriors earlier this week (due out March 15th, 2024)…

For all the acclaim Tears of the Kingdom has received over the past five months, there have no doubt been criticisms, big and small, laid at the game’s feet in that time too. Some particularly prominent complaints relate to perceived discontinuities between the game and its predecessor Breath of the Wild, as players have felt certain events and alterations to the world between the two titles were brushed aside or left unexplained. The question of what happened to the Divine…

Nintendo announced late Tuesday evening that online services for both the 3DS and Wii U will be discontinued in April 2024 (with a specific time and date to be announced later). According to the announcement, “online play and other functionality that uses online communication,” which includes “online co-operative play, internet rankings, and data distribution,” will end for software on both systems next year. The discontinuation will apply to all members of the 3DS and Wii U families of systems, including…

Tears of the Kingdom is undoubtedly a gorgeous game to look at. It not only inherited the slick naturalistic beauty of its predecessor Breath of the Wild, but it expanded the pallet with new visually distinct areas such as Sky Islands and the Depths. I admittedly had to stop at several points in my adventure just to take in the scenery, such as when the sun set over the Great Sky Island or when I first saw the Fire Temple…

Spooky season is upon us, Zelda fans! You know what that means, right? It means that the Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest will be providing you with sinister and scary screenshots from Tears of the Kingdom all month long! And we’re kicking off the festivities with a striking image of Princess Zelda and the Blood Moon.
