On May 12th, Tears of the Kingdom‘s launch day, the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil woke up with huge replicas of Goddess Hylia statues (as seen in the game and in Breath of the Wild) scattered around at random spots in the city and its countryside. Anyone who thinks these curious appearances are the work of Nintendo’s marketing team for Latin America is very wrong. A group of die-hard fans actually carried out the movement of spreading out these beautiful…

In just three days after its launch, Tears of the Kingdom has already reached the mark of ten million copies sold. The number is not only impressive in itself: the game has become the best seller in The Legend of Zelda series so far. The sheer success of this highly anticipated title was to be expected, but the positive feedback has been overwhelming from fans and critics alike. Several platforms, including the famous and respected Japanese magazine Famitsu, gave their…

When Tears of the Kingdom was announced at E3 2019, there was a lot of speculation on how familiar this new game would feel, given that it’s a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild. Despite the overwhelming success of its predecessor, players found themselves questioning the fact that this new entry in the series uses a map already known and explored before (even if gigantic). As time went by and new (and few) information was released, fans’ concerns were…

If you are anything like me, you also like to dive right in and be one-hundred-percent involved in only one game at a time. I’m not the type of player who can switch between massive titles at once, especially with the Legend of Zelda series. With the little free time that I have, I like to savor first-party titles with priority and with all my dedication and attention. I’ve noticed that in recent weeks I’ve been having a hard time getting…

With less than a month to go before the highly anticipated release of Tears of the Kingdom, the hype and fan expectations couldn’t be higher. Perhaps for being a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, this new entry has been generating different types of discussions on internet forums. People have very strong opinions about it, as it is not very common for the Zelda series to deliver sequential entries like this. Generally, a game’s direct sequel can be a…

Nintendo recently gifted us with a ten-minute-plus presentation of the legendary Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma playing Tears of the Kingdom. In the gameplay we were able to better understand, even if superficially, the new abilities that Link will have access to in his new adventure through Hyrule, which has now been expanded with islands suspended in the sky. The trailer arrives just over a month before the game’s release, and as with Breath of the Wild, it’s clear that…

Many Mario Kart fans are still resistant to the idea of ​​the series becoming a kind of “Nintendo Kart,” that is, expanding the universe of the racing franchise beyond the Mushroom Kingdom. This “concern” perhaps arose at the time of the launch of Mario Kart 8, which was the first title in the series to introduce characters and tracks from other Nintendo universes: Link from The Legend of Zelda, with his respective track Hyrule Circuit, and Isabelle from Animal Crossing,…

The Legend of Zelda is an acclaimed series in its own right. Close to completing four decades, the franchise has consolidated itself even more with titles that innovate and stand out for different reasons; whether the classic Ocarina of Time for showing Hyrule in three dimensions for the first time, Twilight Princess for bringing the series back to more “realistic” graphics and implement sensory controls or Breath of the Wild, which gifted players with a magnificent and gigantic truly open…

If you’re reading this article right now, you’re probably a fan of the Legend of Zelda series, we know that. Some of us, maybe more die-hard fans, revisit our favorite titles in the series from time to time. With that, we already know what to expect from each title and manage to choose the one that will most likely soothe our nostalgia for the series at that moment. For example: if I feel like having the experience of a more…

Even with the much anticipated launch of Tears of The Kingdom right around the corner, we know that the release of Zelda remakes and/or remasters is expected by the fandom every couple of years. Although rarer, remakes are way more distinguishable, as they reimagine and breathe new life into games in the franchise that may have initially been overlooked, especially by younger fans. In my case, for example, I never had the opportunity to play the Oracle of Seasons and…
