Tears of the Kingdom has been around for nearly a month, and I’m sure that many fans have at least gotten a taste of what Hyrule has in store for them. Tears of the Kingdom boasts many new abilities, one of which being Fuse which was demonstrated in a gameplay demo prior to the release of the game. Very early on…

Spoiler Warning: The comments section might contain spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom.   The first teaser trailer for the sequel to Breath of the Wild released the Summer of 2019. Since then we were given tiny little updates on the game’s development and progress. It was not until September of 2022 when we would actually be able to put a title to the highly anticipated sequel. The marketing for Tears of the Kingdom, at times, felt like we were…

For all of its positives, Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule felt rather empty.  The map was the biggest we’d ever seen in any Zelda game, meaning there was plenty of exploration to be had.  Even still, it felt like exploration simply led the same thing over and over again.  The…

Tears of the Kingdom may be the new game on the block, but its predecessor Breath of the Wild is keeping a type grip on the zeitgeist. If sales numbers, Nintendo’s marketing, and the popularity of Zelda Dungeon’s Breath of the Wild guides are anything to go by, many players are returning to — or playing for the first time — the 2017 Zelda title in preparation for the new sequel. But is playing both games back-to-back a good idea?…

Having put hours and hours into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, with still so many unknowns to discover, I have been wondering, does it measure up to the rest of the series — to my favorite Zelda games in the past? As I have traversed Hyrule’s mainland, skies, and depths, with still so much to unveil, I…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom released May 12 after 6 long years of waiting; to celebrate the release of the much-anticipated game, musician Lucas Cooper released his brand new album of video game cover music, Zelda—After The Storm. The album is Cooper’s second major Zelda-focused release, and you can listen to the entire album here. Whether you’re driving in the car (wishing you were playing Tears of the Kingdom) or exploring the vast regions of the game and longing for…

Weapon durability has been a key topic of discussion for both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While Skyward Sword introduced some durability and degradation with its shields, Breath of the Wild took the idea of breakable items to an entirely new level. In the 2017 game, every sword, shield, and bow would break after a certain amount of use. Breakable weapons were a point of contention for many fans who did not like losing the powerful…

Spoiler Warning: The article below contains minor spoilers for the first couple hours of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is possible the comment section could contain spoilers in both pictures and words. Please click at your own risk. If there was a phrase I’d use to describe Tears of the Kingdom, it’s “déjà vu”. Despite the development team’s best efforts, there is sure a lot of Tears of the Kingdom that calls back to the opening…

Ten years ago, Nintendo started selling amiibo. These collectible statuettes of Nintendo characters from a wide variety of games don’t just sit on the shelf.  Scanning the amiibo with the NFC reader on the Wii U, 3DS, or Switch will result in extra goodies in the game.  Nintendo made the Smash Bros. series of amiibo first and featured Twilight Princess style Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf, along with Toon Link, Young Link, and Sheik. Since then, Nintendo has made 20 other Zelda-based…
