Certainly no Zelda game is ever a walk in the park for Link. Every Legend of Zelda game features the hero saving the world from impending destruction. Sometimes though, along the way, the challenges he must go up against can seem more difficult than others both physically and mentally. This has lead to many discussions over which Link really had it the worst. We tried to get to the bottom of it in the newest episode of the Zelda Challenge. Kevin and I both tried…

One of the strongest gameplay design elements in The Legend of Zelda series is the unique core mechanics the games are typically built around. Any game worth it’s salt should be intuitively designed to expand upon it’s mechanic in a fun and satisfying way. It is no wonder why often Zelda games often have the mechanic in the title of the game itself. In the newest episode of the Zelda Challenge, Kevin and I try to prove which of these games core mechanics gives…

Last week on the Zelda Challenge, Kevin and I debated which game in The Legend of Zelda series we thought takes longer to appreciate. This week we do a sequel of sorts and discuss which games still don’t receive the praise they have earned. Certain titles in the series just don’t get the recognition they deserve.

Maybe you listen to the background music, maybe you do some idle task, or maybe playing the game itself chills you out. There is no shortage of quaint moments, beautiful scenery, and classic soundtracks that all help create a world that makes it easy to unwind. In the newest episode of the Zelda Challenge, Kevin and I have a friendly debate over what game makes us feel nice and cozy….

Welcome to the “Zelda Challenge” debut, our brand new Youtube series where we go head to head and debate various Zelda topics. In our first episode, Kevin and I tried to prove which game in the series we thought  was the most ridiculous. The Legend of Zelda series has no shortage of ridiculous games. From talking boats, transforming into a wolf, a floating city in the sky, and more, you could probably make an argument for almost any of the games making…
