Four Swords Adventures is, in a word, bizarre (in the best of ways). Each underrated Zelda game has its own set of anomalies that make it stand out from the rest of the series and Four Swords Adventures is no exception. Its increasing inaccessibility to players only adds to this mystique — and most emulations can’t replicate the experience of playing it on a fuzzy, old TV, clutching a chunky GameCube controller or Game Boy Advance. Four Swords Adventures’ eccentricities…

I guess it could be argued that, to some extent, Zelda has never truly been a solitary experience. I’ve read that ‘80s kids on playgrounds used to talk about their discoveries in the original The Legend of Zelda, swapping stories and hints about every secret they’d uncovered. Nintendo home consoles had long been equipped with multiple controller ports for couch co-op, but it wasn’t until the Game Boy Advance remake of A Link to the Past came out that we got…

With the advent of Lofi Girl and similar projects, lo-fi is this generation’s most accessible and malleable form of musical expression. The number of Zelda-related projects in this space is inspiring, which is why we have to highlight this awesome album called Hylian Serenity: A Chill Tribute to Ocarina of Time by Sanjesh P. The eight-track album features one fan-favorite after another. The tracklist includes:  “Title Theme (Chillhop Remix)” “Fairy Fountain (Synth Remix)” “Zelda’s Lullaby (Acoustic Cover)” “Lost Woods (Chillhop…

Celebration is as much looking forward as it is reflecting back. For the recent anniversary of Four Swords Adventures, I invite everyone to look ahead to ponder if a modern attempt at a Four Swords title should be created? I’d argue that we need it now more than ever, considering online multiplayer for Tri Force Heroes will no longer be an option in less than a month from the time of writing. On the other hand, multiplayer Zelda games have…

Almost a year since its release, Tears of the Kingdom continues to receive more accolades for what it has accomplished. Honors for the Zelda team continue to pour in, as the game was nominated for seven awards at the 2024 Game Developers Choice (GDC) Awards. While the newest title in the Zelda series didn’t take home all the gold from the ceremony, it was still given some well-earned recognition. This year’s GDC Awards saw Tears of the Kingdom take home not…

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the Four Swords manga and Four Swords games. The multiplayer Zelda games are less story-rich than their solo-campaign counterparts. Some would argue that the original Four Swords contained barely a story at all. Instead, the game put all of its Rupees in the gameplay Wallet. Four Swords Adventures went many steps further, but was it enough?  Akira Himekawa, the pen name for the writing and illustrating duo for the Zelda mangas, faced this challenge…

Tears of the Kingdom boasts an impressive array of possibilities for players to create just about anything. Players may not think so much about the mechanics behind how it all works, but many in the gaming industry have recognized Tears for its technical marvels that allow players to let their imaginations run wild. Recently, three Tears of the Kingdom developers discussed how they decided on this main mechanic and its unique challenges at a panel at the Games Developers Conference….

The Legend of Zelda’s 25th Anniversary in 2011 was an exciting time to be a Zelda fan. If you were fully aware of all the great things Nintendo had on offer from 2011 to 2012, this period in Zelda history is probably a strongly nostalgic time for you. I was in my mid-teens, and was primarily focused on Skyward Sword. I was also completely obsessed with the 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD that came with the newest series title, even though…

Multiplayer games can be an immense amount of fun, but they can also present their own unique challenges. One of the challenges that game developers have to plan around is the potential for a wide range of skill levels among those who are playing together. When players are all experienced gamers and near similar skill levels, puzzles or bosses that revolve around precision timing and high levels of cooperation can be exhilarating to defeat. However, when a wide range of…
