Are you a recent Zelda fan who arrived during the Switch generation and are interested in playing through the full catalog? Are you a veteran Zelda fan who is tired of dusting off that old system to play your favorite Zelda game one more time? Regardless of when you found The Legend of Zelda, I think we can all see the value in having the complete saga on Switch so that it is both accessible and convenient for recent and…

Because we are coming up on almost a year since Tears of the Kingdom‘s release (can you believe it?), I’ve been pondering how well this direct sequel to Breath of the Wild continued the original story and enriched that version of Hyrule. I, for one, loved the continuity elements between the two games and enjoyed seeing how familiar settings were changed over a few years (how NPCs had grown up, etc). Tears of the Kingdom is a rarity in the…

With the release of each new Zelda game, there typically comes a gimmick. A Gimmick is a gameplay element that is designed to make the game unique or interesting, and that is typically referenced in advertising. Although the word “gimmick” carries unfavorable connotations, they aren’t all bad. Tears of the Kingdom gave us Ultrahand and sky islands, A Link Between Worlds featured wall-merging, and Twilight Princess made Link a wolf. These gimmicks prevent older Zelda titles from being made obsolete by…

The Zelda series is full of vibrant starting areas that make you feel right at home. From the lush Kokiri Forest in Ocarina of Time to the majestic islands of Skyloft in Skyward Sword, there are plenty of places I would pack my bags for and visit in a heartbeat. There are, however, a few in-game starter locales that don’t quite make my bucket list. Hyrule in A Link Between Worlds/A Link to the Past, for instance, doesn’t quite hit…

Luckily for us, the mini-bosses in this game are as good if not better than a bunch of the main bosses, so come hang out as we determine where personal fights against good characters like Ook and Dangoro stack up against menacing monsters…

We’re kicking it old school this week, as we’re dialing it back to 2006 to talk about Twilight Princess, and specifically, the bosses! We’re conducting a good ol’ fashioned boss ranking this week, and no Zelda game has a stronger selection of baddies than Link’s adventure through the Twilight Realm! From the fun-incarnate race against Stallord and the emotional confrontation with Blizzeta all the way to the epic sky battle versus Argorok to the amazing final confrontation again the Dark…

Video games are a unique entertainment medium. Whereas movies, books, and television typically use their sequels to continue a story, video game sequels are more often defined by a continuation of themes and gameplay elements. While some games certainly have a continuous story, it isn’t story alone that keeps players coming back time after time; it’s that combination of story, along with series staples like themes and gameplay, that intrigues new and returning players alike. Few better examples of this…

The Legend of Zelda is a series quite literally based around the kindness of one willing protagonist. Link tends to set his own desires aside as he ventures into battle to defend Hyrule, Termina, or whatever land he happens to be in when the call comes. Our favorite hero is such a knight in shining armor that it’s often easy to gloss over the goodness of others that appear alongside him. In fact, there are plenty of NPCs who perform…

Discovery and exploration have been critical elements of the Zelda series since its inception. Because of this, it is crucial that the various locations in the game worlds are enjoyable or exciting to explore. Many Zelda fans revisit their favorite Zelda games for the opportunity to return to different locations, and new players often become attach to key locations as they experience a game for the first time.  It is a testament to the incredible work of the developers and…
