Multiplayer Zelda games are regularly ranked in the bottom third of our Best Zelda Ever lists, with last year’s ranking being no exception. It’s maybe no coincidence, either, that roughly a third of the voters haven’t even had the opportunity (or desire) to play the two bottom-ranked games, Four Swords and Tri Force Heroes, which are both multiplayer. Nowadays, these multiplayer games are increasingly hard to play in their original formats; but even in considering the games in their heydays, I don’t think I’m…

It’s here! It’s finally here! With another calendar year quickly coming to a close, it is time once again for us to present Zelda Dungeon’s proudest tradition: Best Zelda Ever! At the end of every year, the amazing team here at ZD comes together to rank every single Zelda title from worst to best. The task is never easy, but this year’s ranking proved particularly challenging due to some major shakeups. Not only did we, as we always do, see new…

With the announcement of the Sora amiibo in the most recent Nintendo Direct, almost all Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters have now been realized in amiibo form.  While Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf do have Smash Bros. series amiibo, they are only for Super Smash Bros. 4, and not their appearances in Ultimate. For those who don’t know, the previous game in the Super Smash Bros. series saw Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf as they appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess….

Zelda Dungeon is back with a new entry in the “Definitive Ranking” series where host Mases and Gooey continue their quest to analyze each game in the Zelda series and rank them based on ten different categories. In this episode, the duo take a deep dive into one of the most interesting spin-off games in the Zelda series: Hyrule Warriors. Developed by Koei Tecmo (Omega Force and Team Ninja), Hyrule Warriors was first released in August and September 2014 on the Wii-U….

Howdy, Zelda fans! I know we’re all stewing with anticipation for tomorrow morning’s Nintendo Direct, so why don’t we try to distract ourselves with another Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest? After hours of searching for the perfect Ice Rod screenshot for last week’s contest, my contest image folder is now full of silly photos featuring the one and only Ravio. So, to clear out the Ravio pile a little bit, the Caption Contest will be featuring nothing but A Link Between…

What is happening, Zelda fans?! What say you to another sizzling edition of Zelda Dungeon’s Caption Contest? I have just made it back to the comfort of my air-conditioned home after spending several hours in the blazing Southern California heat. It was the hottest day of the summer so far, for goodness’ sake! So, in an effort to turn down the temperature, this week’s contest will feature Link’s go-to freezing apparatus, the Ice Rod!   Last Week’s Contest: Link harvested…

Tingle, although a strange character, has had some importance in a few Zelda games. In The Wind Waker, Link frees him from jail and, in return, he assists Link with the Triforce Charts quest. And in Oracle of Ages, Tingle hands Link a chart which helps him navigate the Crescent Strait to reach Crescent Island. However, despite playing a vital role in certain quests in these titles, there are also moments in the series where Tingle’s presence acts a mere…

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…

Hyrule Warriors first hacked and slashed its way on to Zelda fans Wii U’s in 2014 and since then there has been a 3Ds game Hyrule Warriors: Legends which added additional content, a definitive edition of the game that released in 2018, and now Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity which released in 2020. It seems like the Hyrule Warriors franchise has covered every inch of the Zelda-verse, so would another game work? As much as I love the Hyrule Warriors…

Remember when Avengers: Infinity War came out? The Internet flooded with memes surrounding the movie’s claim that it was the “Greatest Crossover Event of All-Time.” Marvel’s bold claims aside, that slogan is exactly how I feel whenever I reminisce on Capcom and Square developed Nintendo titles. Super Mario RPG? Classic. The Minish Cap? Chef’s kiss to that. And, of course, we’re all celebrating the Oracle games this week. But is handing Hyrule Castle’s keys to another developer best for the franchise,…
