Finding all 900 Koroks in Breath of the Wild is quite an impressive feat, but collectively drawing 900 Koroks sounds like an even more ambitious goal, surely. Well, the Zelda Creators community recently announced an art collaboration among artists to do just that: draw Koroks until 900 are illustrated!  Spurred by TC (@VirgoTriangulum) as a project for Twitter Korok Day (any 9th day of a month) and launched by Zelda Creators, the hope is to get enough artists signed up…

With the holidays in full swing, Nintendo is starting their deals a little early! Select digital purchases will reward buyers with double My Nintendo Gold Points! The offer ends January 5th, 2022 at 11:59 PM PT. Some notable games listed are Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Honestly, the selection is very lackluster, only including three other titles to pick from (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Miitopia). Maybe one of these titles…

31 unique pieces, each done within a short timeframe. I have completed the Linktober art challenge for my second time, and I feel great! Here’s my last week’s worth of pieces! Day 25: Lens of Truth   This one is a switch up from my norm. I decided to create a meme for the Lens of Truth prompt. Using the lens on the Phantom Ganon painting reveals the truth: it is actually Yer Baby by Ringo Star. Yer Baby is…

Week 3 of Linktober has been very eventful! I got behind a day, made a pretty big mistake on a piece, and then fixed that mistake for it to proceed to go viral on Twitter! Let’s take a look at the art! Day 18: Fairy I didn’t want to do anything too fancy for this piece. From sketch to ink it took merely 10 minutes, so I took some extra time to apply color and some blending to get the…

Week two of Linktober was filled with ups and downs. I suppose fatigue began to set in, so that was the major hurdle I had to overcome. I left off last Sunday only having the next day’s sketch ready, although Monday evening I felt compelled not to leave the piece at only the sketch phase, and went on to ink it. That was the critical point of the week: the choice was maintaining the cushion of one day (so if…

2018 was the first time I heard about Linktober. At the time it had been a few years since I did any artwork, and I was planning to start doing more art anyway, so I took the challenge. When I began doing the prompts, I had a free schedule in the evenings of the work week, so I could count on coming home after my shifts and having the time to draw. That changed around the second week of October….

Earlier today, Playtonic Games and Castle Pixel released a trailer announcing Blossom Tales 2: The Minotour Prince. The original game, Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King, is a charming Zelda-like that was released in 2017 on Steam and Nintendo Switch. While taking inspiration from 2D Zelda‘s like A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening, I’ve heard many people say Blossom Tales still stands out in its own right. I have not played the game for myself, but it does look…

Aside from more information about Wave 2 of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity‘s Expansion Pass and the announcement of Nintendo 64 games coming to Switch Online (including Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask), there was no other Zelda news coming out of today’s Nintendo Direct… at least outside of Japan. During the Japanese Nintendo Direct live stream, there was additional Zelda news revealed: a physical version of Breath of the Wild, paired with all of the game’s DLC, will be…

The newest wave of DLC for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, titled Guardians of Remembrance, was further detailed during today’s Nintendo Direct. Most notably, it was announced that this DLC expansion will add the quirky character duo of Robbie & Purah, with their array of ancient technology, to the game’s roster of playable characters. One more playable character, who was not specified during today’s showcase, will be featured in the DLC as well. Additionally, new story modes such as “Battle for…
