Ten years ago, Nintendo started selling amiibo. These collectible statuettes of Nintendo characters from a wide variety of games don’t just sit on the shelf.  Scanning the amiibo with the NFC reader on the Wii U, 3DS, or Switch will result in extra goodies in the game.  Nintendo made the Smash Bros. series of amiibo first and featured Twilight Princess style Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf, along with Toon Link, Young Link, and Sheik. Since then, Nintendo has made 20 other Zelda-based…

Update: In a series of announcements on Twitter, ZREO Second Quest revealed that the streaming launch of Twilight Symphony has been postponed to May 9th. The album was briefly available on May 2nd, but ZREO Second Quest decided to pull the album because of a series of technical difficulties and unexcepted issues. The team cited several issue that they are working to resolve including an incorrect price point on iTunes and Amazon, incorrect ordering of the tracks, and some mistakes…

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…

If you’re in the market for some of the retired Legend of Zelda amiibo, GameStop has announced a restock of the 30th anniversary Twilight Princess amiibo. It’s currently listed at $15.99 USD, and you can pre-order it here. Note: This is a pre-order and will ship out on May 12th, the same release date as Tears of the Kingdom.

It’s safe to say that the recent release of the final Tears of the Kingdom trailer has Zelda fans getting giddy. The reveal of Ganondorf (voiced by the popular Matt Mercer), the amazing musical score, and captivating visuals instill confidence that we might be in for another classic. I can’t help but feel I’ve felt this way before, though. Sometimes, in the lead up to a highly anticipated game, there’s a sense that release day just won’t come fast enough. How does your excitement…

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been six years since Viz Media began localizing artist duo Akira Himekawa’s Twilight Princess manga adaptation. Even so, we have — at long last — reached the end of this journey, as the eleventh and final volume releases today. Although I own the whole series, I admittedly have some catching up to do, having read only about half of it. That said, what I have experienced so far seriously enriches the already stellar…

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…

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…

Happy April 1st! Tier Force Heroes is back with a very special episode! In this quirky new episode, Gooey Fame, Corey Richmond, and Skull Kid Nico take a deep dive into the Oocca researchers featured in Twilight Princess. The Oocca are a highly advanced race of beings that have bird-like bodies and small heads with humanoid features.
