One of Nintendo’s most notable peculiarities is its love for quirky controller gimmicks. Zelda has been no stranger to this with the motion controls of the original Wii version of Skyward Sword, or the stylus controls of the two DS entries with Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. Two less notable entries in the series which follow suit are Battle Quest, which is an Attraction within Nintendo Land on the Wii U, and Link’s Crossbow Training on the Wii. Both are…

Being nearly 40 years old, there are plenty of great titles in the Legend of Zelda series.  There are 29 titles, to be exact.  Sometimes, Nintendo releases HD versions of the 3D games, like Skyward Sword HD (2021). The most recent 3D Zelda title that was rebuilt from the ground up was Majora’s Mask 3D in 2015. which was quite a while ago. The last 2D Zelda title to be remade was Link’s Awakening (2019).  With the successor to Nintendo Switch coming imminently, I would not be…

Link’s a sleepy hero. It’s a long-running trope in Zelda that the adventurer is sound asleep at the beginning of the games. Whether he’s found washed ashore and taken to a village home to recover, described as a “lazy boy,” or healing from hundred-year-old injuries, he rests before his quests. I like to think that at the end of each of his journeys, having saved the kingdom and rescued the princess, Link treats himself to a full night’s sleep. The…

In the weeks leading up to the release of Tears of the Kingdom, many Zelda fans revisited Breath of the Wild. Some sought to reconnect with the storyline so that it would be fresh in their minds for continuations in the sequel, while others simply wanted to remind themselves of the gameplay mechanics and controls. However, with the release of Echoes of Wisdom just weeks away, there isn’t an easy choice for Zelda fans on how they can best prepare…

June 18th’s Nintendo Direct brought forth many talking points for Zelda fans. Of course it did — a brand new entry in the 2D Zelda series was revealed.  But my mind was racing even before Echoes of Wisdom graced our screens. It was all thanks to Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (I love Square Enix HD-2D games, but they seriously need to workshop their titles. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a bit lengthy.  I digress). I’ve played Octopath Traveler…

Having recently done my first ever play through of Four Swords with its release on Nintendo Switch Online, multiplayer Zelda has been fresh on my mind. Throughout the many games in the series, there are only a select few that include multiplayer options — namely Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, Tri Force Heroes, and a few side minigames in Spirit Tracks. Most of these games were created to be played on handheld consoles like the Nintendo DS or the Game…

The NPCs of the Zelda world are colorful, quirky, and, sometimes, unsettling. Some of the more curious individuals are the many fortune tellers waiting to guide Link on his journey, or provide lost gamers with a hint. There are fortune tellers in A Link to the Past (Fortune Tellers in the Light and Dark Worlds), Twilight Princess (Fanadi), Phantom Hourglass (Astrid), Spirit Tracks (Wise One), A Link Between Worlds (Fortune Teller in Hyrule and Witch in Lorule), and Skyward Sword…

For 37 years, Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards has been giving their blimp-shaped prizes to what children vote for in the world of pop culture. It wasn’t until 1995 they they introduced the award for “Favorite Video Game,” giving kids a chance to let the world know what game’s they love playing. While titles in the Zelda series like Ocarina of Time and Spirit Tracks have been nominated before, no game in the franchise has won. It looks like there’s a…

As the Zelda series continues to grow in popularity, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a new entry or, at the very least, a remaster in the 2D facet of the series. With the Nintendo Switch successor looming over the horizon of 2025, perhaps we may even receive it as a launch title. Although, for the time being this may well be a pipe dream, allow me to pose the question: What art style would you like to see…
