When Pokémon GO became a viral mobile craze back in 2016, I’m sure many people thought it would open a doorway for Nintendo to properly branch into the mobile gaming sphere. It’s been five years since, and I wouldn’t necessarily say Nintendo is doing that. While the company is slowly adapting some of its IP’s to mobile games, other mobile developers have had no shame in ripping off Nintendo’s content in the meantime. The most recent culprit is Super Fighter…
First 4 Figures has revealed a sneak peek at their new figure inspired by Breath of the Wild: the Champion of the Rito, Pilot of Vah Medoh, Revali!

A date for the event has yet to be revealed, but more details are expected to come very soon. You can find more information…
The Zelda series is no stranger to a little bit of crossover action. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild alone features an entire smattering of elements from many different entries. However, notorious The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker modder BigSharkZ decided to take this practice to a completely different level for April Fool’s Day this year. The trailer for the project, dubbed The Legend of Zelda: Winds of Time, features a complete re-imagining of The Legend of Zelda:…
Violinist Taylor Davis, known in the Zelda community for her amazing covers of popular Zelda tunes, has announced a new Zelda cover album! The new album will focus on Zelda music in a folk style, and it will feature both reimagined arrangements from her previous Zelda cover album, Melodies of Hyrule, and a few new songs that we have never heard her perform before!

As the number of COVID-19 vaccines increases and as more businesses and event venues begin to re-open, we cannot help but wonder if events with large gatherings, like conventions, will be feasible in the next several months. As of today, we have an answer, at least regarding the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The Electronic Software Association (ESA), who are organizing the event, have announced that an “All-Virtual” version of E3 will be held online June 12th through 15th, and will…
With the release of its sequel (hopefully) approaching, now is the perfect time to revisit Breath of the Wild. For those who finished almost everything in the game, a newly discovered glitch may provide a way to spice up your playthrough. Champion Daruk’s mild-mannered descendent Yunobo usually follows Link around Death Mountain until he accesses the Divine Beast Vah Rudania. But thanks to glitch hunters EndSheins and ThornyFox, a simple new exploit allows players to keep Yunobo as a permanent…

You can see the sand ahead shifting in the distance as a massive beast pushes its way towards you. You feel a sense of confusion and terror as the huge creature closes in on you. Out of the sand, a leviathan emerges to swallow you whole. That sense of shock and…

A few years ago, gaming accessory manufacturer HORI released a series of GameCube-style controllers for the Nintendo Switch. Dubbed “Battle Pad Controllers”, they had multiple visual designs themed after Super Mario Bros., Pokémon, and of course The Legend of Zelda. However, one of the few downsides to these controllers was that they were wired. The dark ages are over, however, as earlier today, news broke that pre-orders are now available in the west for wireless versions of these controllers! At…
