A lot of Zelda fans are still holding out hope for more ports of games before the series’ 35th anniversary wanes. HD versions of Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask are pretty high in demand currently. Reddit User Willierthanyou, who makes concept art on various video game related products, has recently made a visual mock-up of how a Nintendo Switch Lite might look with a Majora’s Mask theme. When I saw the image, I didn’t realize it was just concept…

A few months ago it was announced over on the Zelda Dungeon YouTube channel that there would be a return of the Snail Mailbag. 9 years ago Mases created a P.O. Box where people could send stuff via mail, he would then open the packages on Twitch, as well as upload the videos on YouTube. People used to send letters, artwork, even video games that Mases would play live. Eventually the segment faded away, but now it is back in…

I remember that, when I was a child, my cousins had Mario Golf on the Nintendo 64, and it was one of the few games my uncle would play with us. A few years later, my dad bought Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour alongside Mario Kart: Double Dash; it was always in the rotation of multiplayer games that we’d gather to play. It didn’t really bother me that each hole was a level in and of itself back then. But it seems…

One-Pack Comic was a Japanese manga digest originally released in 1984 and serialized monthly beginning in May of 1985, with its targeted audience being children from that time period. With the rise in popularity of the Nintendo Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System) in that era, the magazine’s content was related to video game culture. Beginning back on August 16th of this year, the magazine has begun receiving digital reissues as single volume e-books with the title One-Pack Comic Revival via Tokuma Shoten…

Weeks after the release of Skyward Sword HD, some players are reporting a new glitch exclusive to this port. First showcased by Reddit user Sawyerqs, the glitch occurs inside Lanayru Mining Facility; in the room with the Dungeon Map, there is a sliding block that can get stuck and become unmovable. At first glance, this may seem trivial because the Dungeon Map is a purely optional item, but that’s not why this room is important. There is a door here…

For the last decade YouTube Content Creator Cuccolover has worked behind the scenes on videos in collaboration with various YouTube theorists to help build up their channels, all while having the desire to create her own. That dream is finally in motion with the release of her new video: Sacred Salvation. The video looks at the series from the lens of eastern culture/religion, and the broader implication is that the sky is the realm of the gods. The dragons in…

Since the original showcasing of the Nintendo Switch, people have been clamoring for an upgrade annually. Whispers of the “Switch Pro” could be found in every corner of the web, sometimes snowballing into rumors that made major headlines. Today it’s finally a reality! Hours ago, Nintendo revealed the Nintendo Switch OLED Model, and the question on the forefront of most minds is: “Does it live up to the hopes of a console people have been imagining for four years?” The…

With a fresh Zelda teaser there comes the inevitable wave of new theories. One that I’m seeing pop up a lot lately is that the character exploring the sky regions in the sequel to Breath of the Wild might not be Link from that title, but instead a hero from the past. This got me thinking, how could the past be explored in a game that is using Breath of the Wild as a template? What I came up with…

Fair warning, I’m starting off with a hot take: Skyward Sword was probably my least favorite Zelda game for a long time. Admittingly, my dislike of the game stemmed from it not meeting my expectations upon its release. In terms of Home Console 3D Zelda games, I began to notice a trend of overworlds expanding with each release after Ocarina of Time. The Wind Waker’s Great Sea felt huge, and afterwards Twilight Princess greatly increased the scale of Hyrule proper….

What a day! During their E3 Direct presentation, Nintendo showed off some really cool teaser footage of Breath of the Wild‘s sequel that all of us who have played the first game are psyched to see. If you are completely lost on the hype because you haven’t played Breath of the Wild and you’re wanting to get your hands on it, now might be a good time to do so. Typically after their E3 Direct, Nintendo will host a digital sale…
