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…

I recently replayed Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons for the first time in years. One of the most unique aspects of these games I’ve always noticed is the rings, which don’t appear in any other titles in the series. There’s a total of 64 rings to collect between the two games, some of which can only be obtained by beating both games back-to-back, and sharing them between save files using the Linked Game feature. There’s an incredibly wide…

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…

Finally, fans have two long-awaited Zelda titles coming soon to Switch: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. At February’s Nintendo Direct, the company announced that Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles will be coming to Nintendo Switch Online and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. No release date for the Oracle games is yet available. Instead Nintendo noted that the Zelda titles are to be “added in the future.” The inclusion of these…

During this Dungeon Week, my first as a staff writer for Zelda Dungeon, I find myself in the middle of playing through The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. As noted in Zelda Dungeon’s 2022 Best Zelda Ever feature, not only does Seasons seem doomed to live in the shadow of its more generally-loved sister Oracle of Ages by way of constant comparison, it’s also chronically underplayed. With several of the “lesser” titles not yet under my belt, I’m attempting…

From the very start of the series, dungeons have been intrinsic to the identity of The Legend of Zelda. Whether they be levels, palaces, temples, cisterns, or Divine Beasts, these structures are in many ways collectively a crucial ingredient of the whole Zelda franchise. These areas, more than any other, sell the heroism, adventure, fantasy, and sense of discovery for which we come to Zelda again and again. “Dungeon” is in the name of this website for a reason, after…

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…

Even with the much anticipated launch of Tears of The Kingdom right around the corner, we know that the release of Zelda remakes and/or remasters is expected by the fandom every couple of years. Although rarer, remakes are way more distinguishable, as they reimagine and breathe new life into games in the franchise that may have initially been overlooked, especially by younger fans. In my case, for example, I never had the opportunity to play the Oracle of Seasons and…

2022 didn’t give us much of anything new Zelda-wise. Despite the many rumors that circulated, we didn’t receive any new remasters and the biggest announcement was the Tears of the Kingdom title, and also the news that it is being delayed until 2023, when it was originally slated for 2022. However, 2023 could be the year we’ve been waiting for. With this new major title releasing in May, perhaps this is year where our beloved franchise will be revitalized and…
