If there’s one thing a Zelda fan enjoys, it’s a good dungeon. And if there’s another thing Zelda fans have cried out for, it’s a dungeon maker. Here to answer those cries is Super Dungeon Maker, a 2D adventure game-inspired title that’s now available as a direct download on Nintendo Switch. What’s more, fans can save 20% on the retail price as the game is currently on sale in both the United States and the United Kingdom, costing $15.99 USD…

After six long years, the release month of Tears of the Kingdom is finally upon us! Though the wait felt like an eternity on one hand, on the other it’s still hard to believe it’s actually here! I know I’m not the only one shaking with anticipation. It really can’t come any sooner! With just 11 days left, the Zelda Dungeon social media team has decided to poll its members to decide what their favorite games are from the entire…

It’s The Legend of… Skink? The Legendary Hero has been turned into a Legendary Lizard! These Lizard Link stickers are a fun little pun on The Legend of Zelda‘s hero, Link. These cute sticker sheets feature Link from various Zelda titles like Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword, and A Link to the Past on one sheet, with Four Swords Adventures, The Wind Waker, and Link’s Awakening on another.   Heather BeardHeather is a Senior Editor at Zelda Dungeon and has…

I think most Breath of the Wild speed runners would agree that the open world system in that game is perfection. If they want to risk it within the first minutes of the game, they can have Link face off with Calamity Ganon in nothing but his underwear and a few tree branches (and miraculously beat the game against all odds). Being able to go straight to the final boss in this game was a fascinating concept for me when…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is nearly a month away and the “do you think” and “what if” questions are still flying! It’s going to be a few more weeks before we have all of our burning questions answered, but the one that I’m anxious to find out about is if Tears of the Kingdom will have a more challenging final boss. One of the largest disappointments to me in Breath of the Wild was its final…

First debuting in A Link To The Past, the Master Sword is one of the most iconic items in video game history. Since its first appearance, the sword has been a key item in many Zelda titles, and it is often depicted as having a distinct indigo cross guard and grip. The sword is an important symbol in the series, and obtaining the sword often symbolizes Link taking a huge step as a hero. Because of the series’ popularity, many…

Breath of the Wild is, by a Lon-Lon mile, the best selling title in the Zelda series. It also launched on Nintendo Switch, which will overtake the Nintendo DS as the company’s best selling system in a short time. Needless to say, more people have been exposed to the Zelda franchise through Breath of the Wild than any other single entry, many being newcomers who have only played that game. I personally have a few friends who have only played Breath of the Wild because of their…

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…

At its core, The Legend of Zelda has always been a series of adventure games. These typically contain a main trunk of mandatory content required for progression, with branches of optional objectives for players to complete at their leisure, if at all. Whether they result in the tangible upgrade of a weapon, a piece of heart, or the intrinsic reward of improving an NPC’s day, pretty much every Zelda game has a decent amount of things to do besides saving the world from imminent…

I love remixes of music from The Legend of Zelda, and I’m always looking out for more great tunes to add to my collection. Chiptune artist Windmills at Dawn has released an EP album of three Zelda remixes, including the Dark World theme from A Link to the Past, the Great Palace theme from The Adventure of Link, and the original Legend of Zelda Dungeon theme. The album, titled Dark Times, was created with music production software Korg Gadget on Nintendo Switch…
