Harvest festivals begin to abound this time of year. A wonderful opportunity to play games, run around the pumpkin patch or the corn maze, and reconnect with seasonal favorite foods and traditions, these fall gatherings hold a powerful aesthetic energy that encourages warm memory-making and bonding with family and friends. My town is looking forward to an annual fall race followed by our beloved Halloween parade event in the coming weeks and we boast an enthusiastic brewing scene that comes…

Another Nintendo Direct has come and gone without much news about our favorite franchise. Every time, I get an inkling of hope that we will hear news about two of the most iconic and largest adventures in the series, The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess; but alas, I’m disappointed each time. It’s really been convenient to have ports of older Zelda games like Majora’s Mask, Oracle of Seasons, and even The Minish Cap on the Switch. So why not these…

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the end of Tears of the Kingdom. Something I have been thinking about for the past few months as I have pondered Tears of the Kingdom is the concept of sequels. As an avid reader, binge-watcher, and multi-fandom fanatic, I have had my fill of sequels to my beloved books, movies, and video games. I am all for expanding a story with more adventures, more interactions between my favorite characters, and more lessons and…

Beedle started out a lovable, quirky salesman but has overtime become either mean-spirited or unremarkable. And frankly, in Tears of the Kingdom, he overcharges for arrows– what’s up with that!? Is it time for Nintendo to politely insist Beedle retire? Beedle was a very pleasant sight in The Wind Waker, as he you didn’t know exactly when you would see him next and his ships were the only place to get a bait bag, bait, and hyoi pears. Ever the…

I think there are few songs that are as synonymous with Zelda as “Great Fairy’s Fountain.” This track can be heard in many Zelda games, including to A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, and more. It’s evolved significantly over the years, with each version incorporating different instruments and even vocals to give it new life and personality. This song is often associated with the Great Fairy…

Nintendo have announced a cool new addition to their My Nintendo Rewards programme in the form of a Game Boy Advance Poster Set that features a trio of handheld classics. Zelda fans will be notably pleased that this reward includes a poster for The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap at the bargain price of 600 Platinum Points (plus shipping). However, this collectible is only available in the UK and Europe, and is limited to one per customer. Each poster…

From Korok Seeds to Gold Skulltulas, there are a variety of collectibles throughout the Zelda franchise that net the player a variety of goodies. Sometimes it’s more inventory space, sometimes it’s a bigger wallet, and sometimes it’s a Piece of Heart. Each system works to varying degrees of success and fan reception, but it’s hard to deny they each had their share of worth-while rewards. I’ve been replaying The Minish Cap recently, and it’s given me a lot to think…

After taking a break from the game last week, the Cast are back to finish off their discussion on The Minish Cap! This week, we dive into the numerous charming dungeons in the game, expand on our “less is more” mantra, talk about the bosses and items, and count just how many Darknuts you actually fight in Dark Hyrule Castle! We don’t see the dungeons eye to eye, so some negotiating might be in order! All this, PLUS we’re throwing…

One of the most exciting moments at the February 2023 Nintendo Direct was the announcement of Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games for the Nintendo Switch’s online service. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color games are (or will be) available with the regular online subscription while the Game Boy Advance games are available with the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. It is very exciting that a major portion of Nintendo Switch owners will have access…
