There are 900 Korok Seeds in Breath of the Wild. If that seems like a lot, which it may be, we have an alternative! Amazon retailer BuildingBoat currently has a 388 piece Master Sword micro building set available for purchase. Now you can have an elegant build-it-yourself Master Sword to showcase your heroic dedication to protecting Hyrule. The Master Sword Building Kit is 3.9 x 2.8 x 11 inches and provides a unique, simplified glimpse into the kingdom of Hyrule with its…

In the past, the Zelda series has revealed unused three-dimensional models that later appeared in future games. For Twilight Princess, Golems were originally supposed to be present as enemies but were nicked from the final cut. The original images of these unused golems were indeed very odd and maybe were a good idea to have been held back until Breath of the Wild, where they would become the Talus. It was also revealed that early concept designs included a Minish-style village…

“This song is dedicated to power of heart…Listen to the Bolero of Fire” – Shiek This beautiful orchestral arrangement of the iconic “Bolero of Fire” was created by composer and conductor Ben Emberley, who served as a co-writer for the Skyward Sword Symphonic Movement included in Symphony of the Goddesses. While the original short medley from Ocarina of Time is only eight notes long and consists of just three different notes, Emberley is able to transport the listener to the Fire Temple and…

Picture this: Link traversing strange mountains and valleys filled, but instead of moblins and kees, he has to contend with Goombas and Koopas. We’ve seen such a strange scenario in Super Smash Bros Brawl’s Subspace Emissary levels. With just this one quirky example, you can see how much potential Link has for crossover. If I had my choice to add Link into a different Nintendo universe, I would love for him to appear in a Donkey Kong crossover game. Much…

Ganon trapped deep with Malice seeping every which way. The Master Sword crippled in Link’s cryptic hand. Magical islands in the sky. With the tension filling the air for what Nintendo may have up its sleeve for releasing details for Breath of the Wild 2, I am drawn more and more towards the brief glimpses we have received in the trailers for this anticipated sequel. I think Nintendo has attempted to give subtle nods to Skyward Sword, with new islands drifting…

The Zelda series has always showcased curious and diverse potions and concoctions to help Link on his journey to save Hyrule. From potions made from ChuChu Jelly to strange Mushrooms, these magical potions and elixirs are a staple of the Zelda series. However, not all potions are equal or as frequently useful. Which one is your go-to restorative? I personally feel – when it comes to functionality and gameplay – Wind Waker’s Elixir Soup tops my list of useful potions. If I had…

Swords? Zelda-esque gameplay mixed with Toy Story? Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! ? Yes, The Plucky Squire seems to have it all. Presented at the Devolver Digital 2022 Showcase, Nintendo’s trailer for The Plucky Squire reveals a vibrant world with a unique mixture of 2D and 3D gameplay. Developed by All Possible Futures, the game highlights a new hero, Jot, who initially traverses unique lands in a storybook fashion. The trailer jumps out of the 2D page and takes our hero into…

No need to adjust your sets, folks. IGN has reported that Apple’s next iPhone update, iOS 16, will include support for Nintendo Switch Joy-Con and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. iOS 16 was announced this past week at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) for a scheduled fall release. Apple news juggernaut 9to5Mac, iOS developer Riley Testut, and Apple engineering manager Nat Brown have all confirmed that the new iOS update would include support for the Nintendo Switch controllers, alongside support for…

We’ve all been there. After a long, hard day of fighting Moblins, dodging Peahats at sea, or having bombs blow up just a little too close for comfort, we’ve all needed a Fairy. It’s our go-to savior for those extra hearts we just can’t do without. Sure, I appreciate a Red Potion every now and then. But nothing can beat that feeling of discovery when catching an actual Fairy in a majestic grove or out of a random broken pot….

Vroom Vroom. Link’s Master Cycle Zero Motorcycle from Breath of the Wild was indeed a treat to discover. With Guardians marching across Hyrule’s fields, the Master Cycle Zero added a new flavor to the reaches of Ancient Technology. With Breath of the Wild 2 on its way, my thoughts return to this unique form of transportation. It’s no talking boat, but a motorcycle likely influenced by Link’s stint in Mario Kart. Could we see a flying sort of contraption for the anticipated…
