At Tekko 2024, Zelda Dungeon had the pleasure of speaking with flute player, Katie Shesko, and the pleasure of seeing her perform an incredible show. Shesko is known in the greater Zelda community for more than her musicianship. She is also a speedrunner, undertaking Breath of the Wild’s most notorious category — 100% (Yes, this also means Koroks). She is a dedicated fan of the franchise, which is why it was so exciting to see her work her magic with…

Have you ever wondered where Hyrule’s waters come from? Where does it all end up? To answer these questions, YouTube creator Any Austin embarks on an adventure, rafting through the rivers of Tears of the Kingdom‘s Hyrule and charting his way through its many lakes, caverns, and tributaries. Unlike what we understand from real-world hydrology, you may be surprised to hear that none of Hyrule’s rivers make it to the ocean, which is in part what spurred Any Austin’s curiosity…

Redditor Ultrababouin on r/HyruleEngineering brought the fandom an immense amount of joy after posting a video entitled “Super Zelda Galaxy.” The creator managed to illuminate Tears of the Kingdom with Easter eggs and homages to Super Mario Galaxy — literally and figuratively. The hype is amplified because they put Galaxy music over the showcase. The post opens with Link standing on a small “planet” decked out in Fleet Lotus Seeds and a cleverly placed Star Fragment. Ultrababouin continues, showing how a well-placed…

Tears of the Kingdom is still relatively new to Zelda fans, all things considered. Is it too soon for it to evoke nostalgia? In a single YouTube video, Japanese content creator it answered the question for us with a stellar Tears retrospective with a Game Boy art style. They also created the background music (BGM) to make it feel even more authentic. The video shows more than the original trailer, encapsulating countless iconic scenes and characters from the game. The pixel art and…

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),…

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…

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. …
