Since the release of the trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, I have been fascinated by the purple, bottomless rift that sucks our favorite hero away. What is it? Where did it come from? Where is it sending the people it swallows? Seeing that this game likely falls into the Downfall Timeline which often features stories with alternate worlds like Lorule from A Link Between Worlds or the Dark World in A Link to the Past, I…

Another Nintendo Direct and still no port of Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, or A Link Between Worlds. While there was much to be elated about after this Direct as a Zelda fan with the announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the golden Hyrule Edition Nintendo Switch Lite, and the release of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords on Nintendo Switch Online (NSO), some are still asking if and when…

In the most recent Nintendo Direct, a core Nintendo franchise other than Zelda also received a showering of love resulting in elated fans. That series was Metroid and its protagonist Samus Aran. Metroid Prime 4 was confirmed to be alive and well after a long period of silence, and a meaty trailer was put on display for the upcoming first-person adventure. Its subtitle Beyond was revealed, leading to speculation on plot implications, and its release date was narrowed to the…

Weddings are major life events, and they often have the amazing ability to gather diverse collections of people together. One of the biggest parts of a wedding ceremonies or banquets (besides “I Do”) is music. Music has played a key role in weddings throughout history, and this tradition continues to the present day. The individuals planning weddings often have control over what music is played at a wedding ceremony or banquet. Some weddings receptions have specific entrance music for the…

The announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has once again brought a carnival of excitement and speculation to the fanbase. Among this speculation is the map and locations in the Hyrule of Echoes — namely, that the map appears to resemble that of A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds. Even with the evident presence of something looking like the Eastern Palace, The Great Swamp, and the “original” Death Mountain, there are areas that appear new to what could be…

In addition to the surprise release of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a gorgeous new variant of the Switch Lite (Hyrule Edition) was announced to coincide with the game’s release. The new handheld edition features a golden console body, black buttons and sticks, a small Triforce insignia near the right stick, and a large Hylian Crest on the back. This beautiful piece of hardware will be sure to sell quickly, and it’s unknown at this time how limited…

The legendary Golden Power: Wisdom, Power, Courage. The Triforce, which has guided the people of Hyrule since time immemorial, is a staple in the Zelda franchise. First introduced in the very first title, The Legend of Zelda, the trio of triangles has been mentioned or visualized in every single title since. Whether in the form of the Hylian Shield, flashback stories, or an actual collectible item, it’s hard to deny its importance to the people of Hyrule. As far as in–game appearances…

In this week’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unexpectedly dropped the bombshell that a brand-new Zelda game is coming this September. The new game is called Echoes of Wisdom, and it will be the first time Princess Zelda will be the playable protagonist in a mainline Zelda title. The Direct featured both a cinematic trailer and a gameplay showcase for a new item, the Tri Rod, so there’s a lot to unpack and even more that we still don’t know. So, let’s…

It’s happened! We finally have a Zelda game where our favorite princess is the main protagonist! (Let’s put the CD-i game far behind us and pretend it never happened.) In Echoes of Wisdom, we get to see Princess Zelda as our leading lady and being given a chance to shine in her own element. Instead of handing her a sword and making her a female Link, she gets to show off her inherit wisdom and magic, crafting her own unique…

The Zelda Dungeon Marathon begins today which means there’ll be plenty of Zelda-themed fun on Twitch for the next week. There’ll be competitive races, fun gimmick events, trivia, puzzles, and all kinds of on-screen fun for those who tune in (and all for a good cause too). I’m crossing the Atlantic to attend the event for the third time, and I’m so excited! The only thing better than watching the ZD team do their gaming thing is to actually be…
