Spoiler Warning: The comments section in this article may contain spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Having put hours and hours into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, with still so many unknowns to discover, I have been wondering, does it measure up to the rest of the series — to my favorite Zelda games in the past? As I have traversed Hyrule’s mainland, skies, and depths, with still so much to unveil, I…

The Legend of Zelda franchise has evolved extensively over the past 37 years. From its 8-bit beginnings with The Legend of Zelda, to the adoption of a third dimension with Ocarina of Time, to a full embrace of player freedom with Breath of the Wild, the series has continually reinvented itself and found new ways to stay relevant within our ever-changing world. Tears of the Kingdom carries on this tradition, with the game offering a sandbox of possibilities so immense…

All this year, I have been prepping myself for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s release! In preparation, I’ve played through Breath of the Wild and Ocarina of Time, and now I’m almost done with Skyward Sword. These three of my all-time favorites seem like they will be most helpful regarding the lore behind Tears of the Kingdom (although all the games are a must) because they explain a lot of Ganondorf’s origins and focus on the relationship…

It’s no secret by now for long time fans that Zelda games often come in pairs. From Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, to Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass, and of course, the original Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom seem to be following this same format, sharing a large number of overlapping elements. This means that, in order to keep the series fresh, the games that follow will probably…

Our daily lives consist of nothing short of hectic mania. Between jobs, schoolwork, and personal and economic stressors, fatigue is an instinct that reminds us to take a rest. After all, we can only handle so much at once. Sometimes you need to sit back and play a Zelda game; and sometimes you need to lay down and rest your eyes, letting yourself take calm, relaxing breaths. This new fan album encourages us to do just that. Prescription For Sleep…

It’s no secret by now that The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been a stunning success. Unlike many video game movie adaptations over the years, it was well received by fans, opening the door for potential sequels and possibly other series adaptions. Video game producer Shigeru Miyamoto has hinted at the possibility of more Nintendo-based movies. Since The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s most popular IP’s next to Mario, it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility…

Alasyn is away for the next couple weeks, so for this episode, Andy orchestrated an Omega Metroid takeover! Omega Metroid Podcasts’ Dakota Lasky and Community Manager Lillith join the show today to talk some Zelda in general and Tears of the Kingdom specifically. We discuss how the two of them became Zelda fans, which games are their favorites and why, which Zelda games they’re not in love with, and then transition over to Tears of the Kingdom and ask if…

It’s The Legend of… Skink? The Legendary Hero has been turned into a Legendary Lizard! These Lizard Link stickers are a fun little pun on The Legend of Zelda‘s hero, Link. These cute sticker sheets feature Link from various Zelda titles like Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword, and A Link to the Past on one sheet, with Four Swords Adventures, The Wind Waker, and Link’s Awakening on another.   Heather BeardHeather is a Senior Editor at Zelda Dungeon and has…

As a long-time Zelda fan, I have a plethora of reasons to love the series as much as I do. From the dungeons, the puzzles, the stories (all the things, really)—I love it all! However, it’s often the music from each game that brings out feelings of nostalgia and other powerful emotions in me! Each Zelda game is jam-packed with memorable tunes that can transport you to memory lane, like the moment when you took your first steps in a…

With the release of the Resident Evil 4 remake, I couldn’t help but wonder what a Zelda game might be like if it was a gritty-but-goofy survival horror game. Nintendo is very unlikely to make such a game, but with Breath of the Wild being open-world and the Hyrule Warriors games bringing the franchise into the hack-and-slash genre, whose to say whether a survival horror spinoff might be in our future.  It should be stated right up front that I…
