It’s dangerous to go alone, isn’t it? That’s why Tears of the Kingdom players looking for a little bit of help on their journey should be scanning their Zelda amiibo for extra materials, items, and even special Paraglider fabrics. But if your current amiibo collection isn’t up to snuff, My Nintendo UK is here to help you out!   The Legend of Zelda amiibo are available again on My Nintendo Store! Here’s your chance to get your hands on past…

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…

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…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is nearly a month away and the “do you think” and “what if” questions are still flying! It’s going to be a few more weeks before we have all of our burning questions answered, but the one that I’m anxious to find out about is if Tears of the Kingdom will have a more challenging final boss. One of the largest disappointments to me in Breath of the Wild was its final…

We all know that many fans speculate the accuracy of the Official Zelda Timeline. Although I like to abide by its information, as we can see continuity between some titles, I do sort of wish that some of the timeline didn’t seem like a bunch of stories shoe-horned to fit into a specific place. Regardless of its flaws though, I love when Zelda games connect to each other, especially through the timeline. I love seeing the ruins of the Goddess…

Despite its idiosyncrasies, The Legend of Zelda is firmly entrenched in the fantasy genre. Many of the attendant tropes make an appearance throughout the series and dragons are no exception. While the explicit term “dragon” isn’t always used and Nintendo doesn’t typically bother to distinguish them from what are technically wyverns or serpents, there are numerous creatures in the franchise clearly designed to invoke the mythical, flying beasts of legend. No doubt, dragons are pretty awesome, but which is the most awesome?…

I think the Zelda series spans the full gamut of video game quality. Of course, there are entries I appreciate more than others, as anyone will. For the most part, however, I think that broad consensus exists for most of the games. The rare Ocarina of Time detractor does exist, but nobody could argue that it is widely considered one of the franchise’s best titles, if not the best. Likewise, I’m sure there’s somebody out there dying to throw an “um, actually”…

What’s the first name that comes to mind when you think about villains in the Legend of Zelda series? More often than not, Ganondorf, the King of Evil himself is the one that people talk about. But is he really the best villain? Ganondorf to Link is like Bowser to Mario. The two seem destined to fight for eternity, thanks to a curse placed on Link by Demise in Skyward Sword. It’s a good formula to ensure Nintendo will always have…
