Japan’s long list of exclusive Nintendo merch items keeps getting longer. First, it had the Tears of the Kingdom Master Works book and then adorable controller keychains. Now, Nintendo’s Kyoto store has announced one of the most chic and practical merch lines. It is available now but unfortunately only at the in-person Kyoto location. Many products feature characters from The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and Mario. Nicole ScottNicole Scott is writer for Zelda Dungeon from suburban Appalachia.

The Zelda Dungeon team had the pleasure of interacting with Haley Beahr of Wyrmwood Pryo at Pittsburgh’s Tekko convention this year! She had one of the most striking tables in the Artist Alley, as it was chock-full of pyrographic pieces. Pyrography is art made with fire on many mediums, but Beahr chose wood for her bases and colored pencils to bring them to life. “Everything’s better with dragons!” she commented, as many of her art pieces feature these mythological beauties…

Ocarina of Time’s title theme has a tranquil quality that provides players with respite before they dive into Link’s adventure. The music is set against a video of the Hero of Time riding Epona as dawn breaks across Hyrule Field. It’s a chance to take a moment to gather thoughts and become enveloped in the game’s world before starting your save and continuing your journey. That little bit of relaxing and centering can help you make the most of your…

This post was co-authored by Kristen G. Rosario. This year’s Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) featured three Zelda titles — A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina of Time. We here at Zelda Dungeon loved watching the stream, especially since it showcased some of the series’ most beloved titles. But beyond the action on the stream, our team also had the privilege of getting exclusive interviews with the runners from each game. So, kick back and relax (antithetical for speedrunners, we know),…

Earlier this summer, fans of The Legend of Zelda and LEGO were treated to the long-awaited news that a Zelda-themed LEGO set was finally hitting store shelves on September 1st. The “Great Deku Tree 2-in-1″ set is still over a month away, so to ease the wait, LEGO recently sat down with designers and fellow Zelda fans Wes Talbott and Austin William Carlson to talk about the set’s creation. Research for the set was “decades in the making,” according to…

Brand-new items are available at Nintendo’s Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto stores! The second phase of the capsule toy “Controller Button Collection” is available now. It features keychains inspired by controllers for the Super Famicom, Nintendo 64, and Nintendo GameCube. These items join those of the first phase, which included keychains inspired by controllers for the Famicom and NES. What a fun way to collect some Nintendo memories by using a capsule machine! It really adds to the nostalgia. The capsule…

An integral part of every Zelda game is the unique abilities you gain throughout your  journey, whether it be an item obtained in a dungeon or a mechanic used throughout the story. Tears of the Kingdom brought us a new set of abilities that allowed us to navigate the vastness of Hyrule, its Depths and Sky Islands, and the puzzles within Shrines and Temples. What if those skills were transmitted to the games and Hyrules of our past, though? A glimpse…

The Japanese-exclusive Famicom controllers will also be compatible with the charging stand.

As the clock ticks away on the release for Echoes of Wisdom, let’s see what the Zelda community is up to as September 26th draws ever closer. We did just recently see one fan animation where the princess’ speedrunning skills are shown off, so let’s check out what somebody else has in mind. That person is an animator known as RibbitSpell who has created an animated short showing the lengths Princess Zelda is willing to go to in order save…

Hard to believe that those of us in the northern hemisphere are already halfway through summer! All the more reason not to waste a minute of it– it’s prime time to trot out some new summer styles (and it’s never too early for our southern hemisphere friends to get a jump on summer planning). Etsy seller Royal Guard B. Russel of HylianAtHeart is ready and waiting with Zelda inspired bathing suits, towels, and rashguards for every Zelda fan’s beachy needs. …
