Mods can often breathe new life into older games, whether it’s upscaling the graphics or simply adding some kind of new experience. Recently The Wind Waker received a mod titled “The Wind Waker Rewritten,” which adds over 10,000 new lines of dialogue to the game! Created by a modder named aproxm, this ROM hack completely changes the vibe of The Wind Waker through the in-game text. It looks to add a lot more humor, aimed at an older audience. Think…
Gooey’s Dungeon Dive, a long-running series of video essays by Zelda Dungeon’s Gooey Fame, enters its ninth season! Over previous seasons, Gooey has dug into a wide array of The Legend of Zelda‘s collection of dungeons. For this kick off, things are a bit different. An analysis of Outset Island as a dungeon might not scan at first. It’s beautiful there! Link has a loving sister and doting grandmother. What could possibly be dungeon-like about it? Well, as anyone who’s…
Already one of the best-selling consoles of all time, the Nintendo Switch continues to tally sales.

The BBC Proms are one of the largest and most popular classical music festivals in the world. The Proms are held every summer at a variety of locations in London including the famous Royal Albert Hall. The BBC Proms are an eight-week season of daily orchestral classical music concerts and other events. The term “Proms” comes from “promenade concert,” which originally referred to outdoor concerts in London’s gardens where audiences could freely move around as the musicians played. This year…
Studson Studio makes highly entertaining DIY videos. As a crafter and miniaturist, his game and movie projects range from being strictly on-model to extremely odd takes. His latest is staunchly the latter. With his confident mix of blatant puns, clever editing, and subtle audio cues, Studson narrates this somewhat creepy project into a genuinely hilarious watch. Even if he never really digs into where the inspiration came from. Fans of Studson Studio will pick up on some recurring in-jokes about…
When you think of the darkest Zelda game, what comes to mind? Some might say Twilight Princess for its dark imagery and otherwise mature rating. Others would say Majora’s Mask for its adult themes and somber atmosphere. Breath of the Wild could even be considered the darkest for its tragic background and looming reminder of past failures. Well Jacob Geller, a content creator on YouTube, has decided to combat this frequent question among the community. What is the darkest Zelda?…
Breath of the Wild will forever be the Zelda game that tests the limitations of challenges and glitches. While we patiently wait for news on the sequel, players are continuously breaking boundaries on Breath of the Wild through many creative ways. We’ve seen the Master Sword get stolen by a Yiga Clan member, and we’ve seen impossible chests being reached, and oddly enough, there is still plenty more to discover. Speedrunner Limcube provided the ultimate challenge: complete all 120 Shrines…
I love to harp on about the Temple Of The Ocean King and how it pulls Phantom Hourglass down my ranking list of Zelda games. However, I will acknowledge that Phantom Hourglass is one of the Zelda games that are unfortunately overshadowed because of the amount of stupendous Zelda games it gets compared to. In my preferring of Breath of the Wild, The Wind Waker, and even Spirit Tracks, I often forget how much I enjoyed the charm, intelligence, and wit…
Liam Triforce, a content creator on YouTube known for his deep, wholesome yet powerful analyses of video games (especially The Legend of Zelda series) is at it again in this moving retrospective of The Wind Waker. Liam pegs this adventure through the Great Sea as his favorite video game of all time and offers his perspective on how powerful the story of this whimsical yet eloquent and dark adventure is. I was absolutely enthralled by his thoughts and his personal…
Inside The Deku Tree was a far too complicated dungeon for me when I first picked up an Nintendo 64 controller as a wee toddler. Thus, most of my time in Ocarina of Time was spent in Kokiri Forest hopping over streams, falling off bridges, and picking up rupees in hedges Link could barely see over. Kokiri Forest is an anchor for many Zelda fans as the early beginnings of not only one grand adventure, but also the other Zelda…
