Category: Skyward Sword

We’ve all been there. In the middle of an epic match, items falling from the sky, you’re so focused on slamming on your enemies you don’t see the Beetle behind you…and skyward you go. There’s a whole armoury of really fun items to use on your foes in Smash, but life-ruining to be used on. The newest item, the Cuckoo, is comical and fun to rain rampant, raging roosters across the field but the worst to be smashed by. Skyward…

Zelda’s representation in the Smash roster is kept relatively low frills, sticking with each of the Triforce’s champions, with Link padding it out with three of his incarnations. But whether or not Zelda is well represented in the Smash roster is a debate for another day. What definitely is well showcased are the realms and locales of Hyrule, spanning everywhere from Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess to Skyward Sword and the most recent stage addition, Great Plateau Tower from…

The Legend of Zelda is one of the best represented franchise in  recently launched Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. With several characters (including the long awaited return of Young Link), an incredible amount of spirits, assist trophies, items, easter eggs, and musical tracks, there is a clear love for the Zelda series within the epic crossover. With this in mind, what is your favorite song to listen to while battling it out on a Zelda stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? There…

Flicking through Hyrule Historia, it’s awesome to see the creative process that goes into crafting some of our most beloved characters and to see what could have been. From the strange and obscure, yet incredible concepts we’ve seen for Midna that range from a Tim Burton-esque hominid to fauns and apes each with bizarre masks, to the weird mechanical fairies explored whilst designing Fi, the Zelda team seem to explore EVERY possibility when it comes to designing characters. For good…

The Legend of Zelda has my favorite end credits sequences in video games and movies. Unlike most movies where I walk out a minute or two after the film is over, I always watch staff rolls in Zelda games right to the very end. Usually, these game’s credits/staff rolls include a new musical composition (or a combination of multiple themes arranged especially for the occasion) and the video/visual sequence take you on a trip through the different locations you have traveled…

Andy and Taylor are back in action, joined this week by Zelda Dungeon’s own Skyward Sword superfan, Alasyn Eletha to talk… what else, ALL THOSE RUMORS swirling around Skyward Sword! Will they, won’t they? How would motion controls work? What other quality of life improvements could Nintendo make? Can flying not suck in the remake? All this, PLUS we talk Groose in Smash, our impressions of Pokemon Let’s Go, what we want to see out of the Game Awards, Darksiders…

Kikwi, Mogma, Tadtone, Parella, Loftwing, even the Ancient Robots. Skyward Sword introduced several different species and races brand new to the series. Afterwards it seems that most were lost to the damage of time. What do you think happened to all of them? Were the Loftwings mostly trapped above the clouds and still flying around up there, waiting and alone? Did the Gorons move into the mountains, scaring out the Mogmas? Maybe Kikwis were more plant than animal and simply…

Skyward Sword did something differently than other Zelda games. Before heading out on each portion of your adventure you need to choose which few items you have with you at this point. Extra arrows or space for more bombs? A bottle or a shield? An extra heart or the ability to find them more frequently? Although you were able to expand your pouch, throughout most of the game you still have to hesitate and consider where you are going and…

The Zelda community has been buzzing with rumors of a Skyward Sword remake for the last few days. Comments that Eiji Aonuma made at a recent concert regarding Skyward Sword had sparked the initial topic. Alas, Nintendo has some unfortunate news regarding this. A representative for the company has to Eurogamer that Nintendo currently has “no plans to release The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch.” It’s slightly disappointing to hear this. I really enjoyed Skyward Sword and…

What do you get when Andy, Kat, Gooey, and Kevin walk into a bar? Nobody knows for sure, but if I had to bet, it would sound something like The Champions’ Cast Episode 35! Taylor is away this week, so Andy recruited some of Zelda Dungeon’s finest to bring you the hardest hitting Zelda and Super Smash Bros. questions! What’s the deal with how Nintendo defines echo fighters? Who’s the “best Zelda girl”? Which character has no shot of making…
