Since its inception, The Legend of Zelda has been among the most influential series in gaming. Many games have attempted to mimic the style and structure of classic Zelda titles, particularly during the indie game development explosion of the past decade. Many fans appreciate seeing familiar tropes and trends in Zelda-inspired independent works, and we’ll soon be getting another to sink our teeth into: Elementallis.  Described by creator Iván Ruiz Lozano as “a 2D top-down adventure mimicking the style and feel…

The following article contains spoilers for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. You could say the yoke was on Calamity Ganon the day a little egg-shaped guardian went back in time and messed up his plans for world domination. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity’s story implies how heavily small changes can affect pivotal moments in the destiny of Hyrule. I do find it unfortunate that this latest Warriors game most likely won’t impact the story of Breath of the Wild 2….

When Breath of the Wild first launched, I was not expecting the series’ normally poignant soundtracks to take a back seat in favor of ambience and environmental storytelling. Defined themes had always marked memorable locations in my mind such as Outset Island or the Realm of Twilight. Instead, Nintendo’s largest Zelda to date decided that music would be used sparingly, and that it would highlight events of importance. I wasn’t a huge fan of that decision at the time, and…

Every Zelda title boasts a bevy of bosses, most serving as the climactic finale to an extended dungeon crawl. Debates continue about which bosses are the best, which games have the best sets of bosses, and whether or not bosses are a strength for Zelda in general. I think most fans would agree that the series’ boss roster is a collection of hits, misses, and a lot in between. Content creator Warbot has released an analysis video on his YouTube channel, Design…

In an impressive display of musical talent and editing skills, content creator Hani Al Dahshan has paid tribute to the musical genius Koji Kondo and his work on Ocarina of Time. This Arabic-style medley, entitled “Nay of Time”, consists of fourteen songs from Ocarina of Time. Although my personal favorites are an ethereal rendition of “Temple of Time” and an enchanting version of “Chamber of the Sages”, the entirety of the medley is truly beautiful. The video on YouTube that showcases…

Fans of the Legend of Zelda series are no stranger to unforgettable music. Each title contains an assortment of memorable tracks that stick with players through jaunty, catchy tunes and swelling, emotional compositions. It comes as little surprise that many people have been so inspired by these songs that they are compelled to add their own creative star to the greater constellation of Zelda music. One of these individuals is Ben Emberley, who will be debuting the full arrangement of his symphonic…

I think it’s fair to say that we’re all a bit excited for the sequel to Breath of the Wild to come out. With that said, there’s so little we know about this future game that everything we think we know is simply speculation. However, there is plenty that we can all share our anticipation for. In a short video over on YouTube, animator Charles C. Berndardo offered something that I found totally fitting, and a small dose of what…

Hyrule Field is a major part of Twilight Princess. The developers at Nintendo expanded on the field concept seen in Ocarina of Time, creating a sprawling set of interconnected fields for the 2006 spiritual successor. Throughout Twilight Princess, Link travels across the fields numerous times, and some key story moments take place in the beautiful wide, open space. In addition to its expanded size, the Twilight Princess Hyrule Field has a gorgeous new musical theme that has proven to be…
