Recently, Nintendo officially announced that it will be ending repair services in Japan for the Wii U due to running out of spare parts for the console. With no regions left offering support and the Wii U eShop being shut down a few months ago, this announcement was the final nail in the coffin for anything pertaining to the system in an official capacity. As we finally close the book on the Big N’s eighth-generation video game console, it’s time…

Can you believe it?! We are actually getting a title in the The Legend of Zelda series in which you play as Princess Zelda herself — I mean, a title that’s fully developed by Nintendo, at least. There are several games in which Princess Zelda is a playable character, but most are games developed by other studios in collaboration with Nintendo. The most infamous are perhaps Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda’s Adventure. Wand of Gamelon was developed by Animation…

The NPCs of the Zelda world are colorful, quirky, and, sometimes, unsettling. Some of the more curious individuals are the many fortune tellers waiting to guide Link on his journey, or provide lost gamers with a hint. There are fortune tellers in A Link to the Past (Fortune Tellers in the Light and Dark Worlds), Twilight Princess (Fanadi), Phantom Hourglass (Astrid), Spirit Tracks (Wise One), A Link Between Worlds (Fortune Teller in Hyrule and Witch in Lorule), and Skyward Sword…

Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang (who previously worked at Nintendo of America for over 10 years, and were also the hosts of the Nintendo Minute web series) recently shared some interesting information about the original Hyrule Warriors in Episode 120 of their own hit Kit & Krysta Podcast. In the “Questions from Our Patreon Subscribers” segment of the show, user Gartooth asked, “When you were working at Nintendo did you ever release a game that other people in the company…

Not too long ago I finished this rhythm game called Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, which is a title that centers around you playing through songs from said RPG series. What makes this different compared to more traditional rhythm titles is that they implement the enemies and combat from the franchise into a challenging, yet satisfying experience. As I was wrapping up my time with Melody of Memory, it got me thinking about what would happen if what I experienced…

I guess it could be argued that, to some extent, Zelda has never truly been a solitary experience. I’ve read that ‘80s kids on playgrounds used to talk about their discoveries in the original The Legend of Zelda, swapping stories and hints about every secret they’d uncovered. Nintendo home consoles had long been equipped with multiple controller ports for couch co-op, but it wasn’t until the Game Boy Advance remake of A Link to the Past came out that we got…

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…

There’s no question that Hyrule Warriors – the closest thing to a consistent spin-off series within the greater Zelda franchise – is geared toward a very specific niche. For as simple as its moment-to-moment combat can be, the sheer variety of playable characters keeps the experience from growing too stale for me. Indeed, since the original Wii U title’s release, Hyrule Warriors has become one of my go-to comfort games. At least a few times throughout any given year, I…

Depending on which Zelda title you’re playing, you may or may not get the chance to meditate on a given boss name while your main focus is on feeling out their weak spots to bring them down. Until Ocarina of Time, bosses presented themselves unannounced, so you wouldn’t know them by name unless you read supplemental materials or used a guide. From then on, whether or not you get to see the boss name for a fight tends to divide…
