As I write this I am currently expecting my first son due in October! I have been thinking for the longest time what would be my son’s first video game, and especially his first Zelda game! Being born into a nerdy and gaming family means that he will grow up around games and Zelda games. I know that by the time he is old enough to pick up a controller and play that there will be hopefully a few new…
Throughout the years, a fair number of side activities have found their way into the Zelda series. A couple in particular ended up taking way more of my time than I would’ve expected at first glance. From Ocarina of Time’s fishing to Twilight Princess’s Fruit Pop Flight Challenge, these often serve as a relaxing break from the dire stakes of the main quest. Going forward, I would love to see the series take some of these diversions and expand upon…
Hey, all you Zelda fans! Care to take your mind off the unbearable wait for Breath of the Wild 2 news with a little ZD Caption Contest? So… we seemed to be the victim of a little game of telephone yesterday, as some information got distorted as it moved from source to source. We sincerely apologize for that, and we’re taking steps to avoid such blunders in the future. But with that said, the entire ordeal got me thinking of…
The addition of the Champions in Breath of the Wild is pretty cool; they had decent character developments, their fates were tragic, and they are way more helpful than Sages of the past, which they could be compared to. At first glance they do seem like a different take on Sages, and I suppose a case could be made in this regard. However, Link is considered a Champion in the game too, which makes the possibility seem less likely. It…

The Intro Dungeon: a games first dungeon that acts both as a tutorial as to how the rest of the game plays, and as a standalone experience. That’s our definition anyways, so with that in mind, the gang discuss the 5 best intro dungeons in the series and give some honorable mentions to strong opening “areas”. We also shoot on the worst intro sections (no points for guessing mine) and what made them so lackluster. Come have fun as Corey…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild frustrated and exhilarated longtime fans of the series by breaking the traditional mold. The game offered ambiance over music, Shrines over dungeons, and a true ability to play the game in any order desired. Yet there is one key pillar of the Zelda narrative universe that the 2017 hit left well enough alone: the unquestioned morality of Link. The Hero of the Wilds, like his many predecessors, is good to his core….
I recently started reading the Zelda manga. So far I’ve been loving what I’m reading and I’ve been extremely impressed with the style of art, how it’s presented, and the enhancements on the story. I’ve read the manga adaptation of Ocarina of Time, and I am currently reading Twilight Princess. As I’ve been reading through Twilight Princess I kept thinking how much more I feel the manga enhances the game. So does reading the Zelda manga enhance your thoughts on…
If I could say one thing about the Zelda fanbase, it’s that we’re an opinionated lot. We like to discuss the finer details of the series, and we certainly don’t shy away from a debate, especially when our opinion isn’t very popular. Whether we’re talking about our favorite Zelda title, the next upcoming game, or all that’s in between, we’ll tell you exactly how we feel, and you can bet we will be passionate about it! One of the most…
|| Previous Chapter || Next Chapter || Chapter Four Link’s mouth hung agape. He was taken off-guard by the whimsical, albeit rough greeting he had just been delivered by this hulking creature. He was able to get a full view now of this newcomer and despite his supposed cheerful demeanor, he was no less intimidating. His body, wide with a bulbous midsection, was covered in various places by wandering lines of what appeared to be white tattoos, a color that contrasted greatly…
