With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom taking place significantly on the same map as Breath of the Wild, things might get stale if the hide-and-find items continue to be Korok seeds. Theoretically, the Koroks could all find brand-new hiding spots and start their sick feces sharing game all over again, but with Zelda’s modus operandi lately being innovation there is a real chance those little stinkers will be swapped out for a new set of discoverables.  With…

So far this year, I have been on a mission to replay all the Zelda games to prepare myself for Tears of the Kingdom. As I just finished A Link to the Past after getting hooked on it for a few weeks, I’ve been thinking about what Zelda games are the most replayable. For me, I often find myself reaching most for Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Breath of the Wild, and Skyward Sword. Although I…

Wow. Wowowow. THAT, my friends, was a Nintendo Direct for the ages. Despite Nintendo arguably holding back yet again on Tears of the Kingdom, there was no doubt that the trailer we saw for the game was by far the meatiest one yet. Add in the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance NSO news, with The Minish Cap and Link’s Awakening DX being playable RIGHT NOW with the Oracles not far behind it, and there was more Zelda news in…

Over last few years, Nintendo has hosted a Nintendo Direct each February to announce and go over the games that will be releasing in the first half of the year. 2023 is no different, and today’s Direct was packed full of content and games to come. So, what did you think of today’s Nintendo Direct? After a long wait and slow news cycle, we finally got some more content for Tears of the Kingdom! Honestly, this was the highlight of…

While there’s surely still some value to the Wii U, it seems that the dusty console is getting less and less relevant. Announced during the most recent Nintendo Direct, Nintendo Switch Online has expanded its reach to include Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games. Current Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers can now play Game Boy Advance titles, like Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, and, most importantly, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. More…

Dungeons and Zelda go hand in hand. They are like Link and Princess Zelda, Kafei and Anju, and Revali and his pride — one would not be complete without the other! Throughout the past 37 (whoa!) years of Zelda, we have seen a plethora of unique dungeons and temples in each entry in the series. These dungeons have always been a staple throughout each adventure in Hyrule, and they often pose challenges for our favorite green-clad hero, giving him the…

Throughout the Legend of Zelda series, we’ve seen our protagonist rise to heroism after first occupying (or apprenticing for) several different professions. In A Link to the Past, Link lives with his uncle, who is not clearly identified as belonging to one profession or another, though we can infer that he is a veteran soldier (given his ownership of both sword and shield). In the manga, he and Link are shown to be apple farmers. Given their proximity to the…

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…

2023 looks to be the year of revival for the Zelda series, with Tears of the Kingdom mere months away from release! This new title is poised to take over the conversation among Zelda fans, but I have feeling it won’t completely drown out discussion about other beloved games in the series. Since 2017, Breath of the Wild has consistently been a hot topic online, as it seems like players are still unveiling new secrets almost six years later. Also, many of the series’…

With the new year already moving forward, I’ve been considering what Zelda game I want to replay first as I await The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Throughout a good year, I usually replay all my favorites, including Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, The Wind Waker, Majora’s Mask, and The Minish Cap. Though there is one title I can never get enough of no matter how many times I replay it: Ocarina of Time. This is the…
