Link’s Awakening for Nintendo Switch, scheduled to release on September 20th, was one of Nintendo’s marquee showings at E3 2019. This upcoming remake of the Game Boy classic was in fact playable on the E3 show floor, as attendees were invited to play through the game’s opening 15 minutes, from the moment Link wakes up on Koholint Island to the completion of the game’s first dungeon. The Zelda Dungeon team was given the opportunity to be among the first people…
Following February’s Week of Love, we at Zelda Dungeon have been reminiscing side quests old and new. From Kafei to Korok, our next themed week covers a range of Link’s optional escapades throughout the series. In a franchise that rewards you for leaving no stone unturned with everything from Korok poop to fabled equipment and beyond, the team will be reflecting on the trials and challenges where you get out what you put in. What Can You Expect from Side…
The surprise announcement last month of the upcoming rhythm dungeon crawler Zelda spinoff Cadence of Hyrule is still something that I’m still fully wrapping my head around. It was almost like a floodgate moment — if we can get a Zelda crossover this out there, we can get anything! And if Nintendo is willing to let a small Canadian developer touch the Zelda IP, all of its different properties are probably on the table for any developer with a great…

The month of March is almost upon us, and not only does that mean the winter is almost over, but it’s time for March Madness! Of course, we just couldn’t sit by and not get in on the action, so we decided to put a spin on a yearly feature that we like to run on the site. In 2018, Zelda Dungeon polled all of it’s contributors, from editors to social media managers to forum members to wiki editors, to…
It’s hard to believe it, but it’s already that time of month: Valentine’s Day. Some dread it and some love it. Well, here at Zelda Dungeon, we’re going to make this week a bit better for you! And that means it’s time for another themed week! We all have our ‘ships and our favorite characters that we would love to see our Hero with, but this won’t just be about Link! I mean, everyone deserves love, right? The team will…
It’s finally here! After what seems like an excruciatingly long wait, Link, Zelda, and the rest of the gang are all set to do battle in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! Smash has always been one of my favorite series, and ever since the days of the Nintendo 64 version, I fantasized about who I would want to fight as in the next game. With the passing years, Smash Bros. has evolved from a neat collection of Nintendo lore to an…
It may be hard to believe, but The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be celebrating its 20-year anniversary in a few short days. Released on November 21st, 1998, this Nintendo 64 epic not only ushered the Zelda series into the modern 3D landscape, and it not only set the stage for future games of the franchise to find success, but it helped shape the game industry during a pivotal time in history and effectively capitalized on the endless…
Hello everybody, and welcome to Zelda Dungeon’s Best Zelda Ever 2018! Although no new Zelda games were released in the time between our list last year and now, by no means has it been a quiet time for Zelda fans. The biggest x-factor heading into our 2017 edition of the list was the recently released Breath of the Wild, and it would be fair to say that the latest Zelda adventure retains that x-factor title this year as well. As…
It goes without saying the Legend of Zelda series is very near and dear to the hearts of all of our writers. Many of us grew up alongside the Zelda series. Many of our writers’ first exposure to video games as a whole was through The Legend of Zelda. The series helped us all in some regards; be it through an emotional time, helping decide what career paths to take, or just as an escape when we need one, Zelda has always…
