The year is 2024. Video games are pushing graphical and technological boundaries, constantly broadening our perspective on what the medium is capable of. New hardware and AI technology open the door for new possibilities as we creep ever closer to games that are indistinguishable from real life.

Listen as we explore our thoughts on what this sequel did differently than Tears of the Kingdom, being an open world sequel itself, and what areas Forbidden West did better, and what areas Zelda came out on…

In the current climate of the video game industry, it isn’t uncommon to see a litany of remakes, remasters, and spiritual successors flooding the market. Bringing beloved classics into the modern age keeps them relevant to newer audiences and broadens their appeal. What most of these games have in common, though, is that they draw inspiration from games that are revered, games that are considered cult classics, or games that were praised at the time of their release but have…

With The Minish Cap and the Oracle games coming to Nintendo Switch Online (and its Expansion Pack) this year, Nintendo is running out of classic Zelda titles to add to their online service.

At their LRG 2023 digital showcase, Limited Run Games announced a new game called Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, a spiritual successor to The Legend of Zelda’s infamous Phillips CD-i titles, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Link: The Faces of Evil. Indie developer Seedy Eye Software, also known as Dopply, previously made fan remakes of both titles and is now putting that experience to work in a brand new game.  The aforementioned Zelda games originally released in October 1993…

Now available from the Sega Genesis collection, Crusader of Centy is now available. Make no mistake: this 1994 title may look like A Link to the Past, and feel like it too, but it’s a unique fantasy epic all its own. With sword and sorcery, animal friends and monsterly foes, this time traveling adventure is rich with combat and exploration….

Ever since Super Mario Maker was released in 2015, fans have anticipated what a creativity-based game would look like for the Zelda series. The concept was officially explored in the 2019 remake of Link’s Awakening, where the Camera Shop is replaced by Dampe’s Shack. However, the dungeon creation was limited in that you were only able to rearrange existing dungeon rooms already in the main part of the game. There have been multiple instances of independent developers beating Nintendo to…
