Get your headphones in, because this week, we’re taking a musical journey throughout the history of the Zelda series to rank and discuss every games main theme! We go back and find what works, what doesn’t, which games were short-changed, and which themes we would consider the best of all time. We’re playing every theme in the series, so sit back and groove out to the amazing music of the series. Don’t forget to let us know which main theme…
2022 didn’t give us much of anything new Zelda-wise. Despite the many rumors that circulated, we didn’t receive any new remasters and the biggest announcement was the Tears of the Kingdom title, and also the news that it is being delayed until 2023, when it was originally slated for 2022. However, 2023 could be the year we’ve been waiting for. With this new major title releasing in May, perhaps this is year where our beloved franchise will be revitalized and…
Another spin around the sun has come and went, and with it, the latest installment of Zelda Dungeon’s proudest yearly tradition: Best. Zelda. Ever! 2022 marked the first year in quite some time where we had no real Zelda activity. No new games were released, no new projects were announced, it was… quiet. Although we got a title for the long-awaited sequel to Breath of the Wild, 2022 seemed like a year that could best be described as the calm…
It could be argued that the pinnacle of multiplayer gaming came in the mid-to-late 1990s when split-screen was the thing: You and your three best friends hooking up to an Nintendo 64 and popping in your copy of GoldenEye or Mario Kart 64. As the years have passed, online multiplayer has taken the front stage as the world of gaming has grown. And yet, there’s still something special about that shared screen experience when you can find it. Thanks to…
Ganon and Ganondorf cast a long shadow over the Zelda series. The Great King of Evil (and his various incarnations) have been the villain in a large amount of games, which means the player often end their experience in Hyrule by battling Ganon. With that being said, it is always interesting when a game features a final boss that is not Ganon. Whether it is Link’s Shadow, Majora, or Vaati, the non-Ganon villains help keep the gameplay and storytelling from…
It has been a long few years since we last had a multiplayer Zelda game. As we continue to await the anticipated release of a certain “sequel” game, many including myself have looked back at previous releases and wondered about the legacy of multiplayer installments for the Zelda franchise. The previous multiplayer entry Triforce Heroes was released in 2015, and was actually the eighteenth original entry in the Zelda franchise. Breath of the Wild was the nineteenth entry released two…
My introduction to Castle Crashers was during summer vacation when I was in middle school. I played it with my brother and vividly recall the crude humor, fun gameplay, epic title theme, and collectible companions. I don’t remember if we ended up beating it, but my strongest memories are all associated with the experience of playing it with someone else and the sheer fun and insanity that followed. I revisited the game again recently on the Nintendo Switch, and while…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas — it’s Zelda Dungeon’s annual BEST. ZELDA. EVER! This year was an exciting and eventful year for the Legend of Zelda series, as we saw a couple new releases and a tease of what’s to come. Just missing the cuff of last year’s Best Zelda Ever list was Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, a game that was billed as the prequel to Breath of the Wild, which will enter…
Where does The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords rank among your favorite Zelda games? In our Best Zelda Ever rankings this year, Four Swords came in at number 20! And in this month’s Definitive Ranking episode, Gooey and Mases dive in and share their thoughts about The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition. Like with previous episodes, we also polled the staff here at Zelda Dungeon, along with the community as well, so you can view those results down below….
The end of this year is rapidly approaching, which means that it’s time for my favorite annual tradition here at Zelda Dungeon: Best. Zelda. Ever! While no new Zelda games were released this year, we did have some DLC come out for Cadence of Hyrule and we’re looking forward to the upcoming release of a new Hyrule Warriors game: Age of Calamity! The prequel to Breath of the Wild just missed the cut for this year’s list, so you’ll have…
