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…

Multiplayer Zelda games are regularly ranked in the bottom third of our Best Zelda Ever lists, with last year’s ranking being no exception. It’s maybe no coincidence, either, that roughly a third of the voters haven’t even had the opportunity (or desire) to play the two bottom-ranked games, Four Swords and Tri Force Heroes, which are both multiplayer. Nowadays, these multiplayer games are increasingly hard to play in their original formats; but even in considering the games in their heydays, I don’t think I’m…

Welcome back to another edition of “Storytelling Through Sound,” a series of editorials dedicated to the analysis of the main themes from every Zelda game. In honor of Four Swords Week, we’ll be taking a look at this game’s version of the Lake Hylia theme and the way that it plays into nostalgia to hit you right in the feels. One of my favorite parts of playing a Zelda game is being unexpectedly hit with something familiar from the past, whether it be a…
