Legendary videogame record label GameChops has another installment in its series of Zelda lo-fi albums to please your ears. “Zelda Tape” is a breezy yet immersive 10-track entry into its growing catalog of Zelda albums. It has some modern and classic favorites, but there are a few tracks on here that would surprise even the most seasoned lo-fi connoisseurs. Here’s the tracklist: “Riding Day” (from Breath of the Wild) “Dark World” (from A Link to the Past) “Korok Forest” (from Breath of…

Zelda’s Hyrule is a vast, ever-changing land. Regions come and go across the ages, as do the people who populate them. There’s often a castle, occasionally with a town near it. There are also other settlements that dot the map in any given incarnation of the realm. Despite the few persistent aspects of each Hyrule (namely forests, rivers, caves, and mountains), change is the only real constant! Given the vast differences between each Hyrule and the characters who call them…

It is officially release month for Echoes of Wisdom! Over the last few weeks we’ve gotten a lot of new information about the newest Zelda game, but how do you approach the influx of information ahead of a new release in The Legend of Zelda’s growing library of games? Personally, it depends on the game. When Tears of the Kingdom was announced I watched every trailer that Nintendo released and followed information, videos, and trailers very close all the way…

With the release of Tears of the Kingdom Master Works in Japan, we are getting the gift of more behind the lore of this fantastic game. This time, Nintendo Everything has translated information from the book about the infamous Depths, which lurk beneath the land of Hyrule as a mirrored, dark version of the kingdom. Apparently, early concept ideas came from Art Director Satoru Takizawa, who said he had an idea of a “Cretaceous Period world with dinosaurs or the…

The gang are away this week, but never fear! We have a Patreon unlock for you! in an episide that originally aired in February of 2024, Andy and Al talk all things LOOOOVEEE as we count down the top love interests that Link has had in the series (sorry guys, no Sidon, though we tried), from the fun and cute flings to the heartbreaking romances that destiny just wouldn’t allow. Plus, we’re counting down the best Zelda announcement trailers of…

Inclement weather is no stranger to Hyrule and the Zelda series. However, it wasn’t until recently that a player had to greatly consider the climate when entering certain regions (aside from something akin to using the Goron Tunic in Ocarina of Time). In Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and now Echoes of Wisdom, certain clothing or concoctions appear to play a role in our ability to survive long periods of time in overly hot or cold environments without taking…

My Nintendo Store UK has announced special Echoes of Wisdom pre-order bundles containing an amiibo and a commemorative keyring that are now available to customers in the UK and Ireland. The three bundles are each priced at £58.48 GBP or €68.98 EUR (approx. $77.00 USD) and contain a physical copy of Echoes of Wisdom and one of the following: Zelda amiibo (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom) Link amiibo (The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Collection) Zelda (The…

Following the demonstrations at PAX West this year, it is now confirmed that Echoes of Wisdom will contain the option for Hero Mode. At the time of writing, we don’t know if this will be available from the first playthrough; however, we do know that this mode increases the difficulty, causing Princess Zelda to take more damage and eliminate heart drops. My biggest disappointment with Tears of the Kingdom was the lack of Hero/Master Mode, which would have made the…

It’s been over nine months since we got the announcement that a Zelda movie was in production and very little is still known about it. One thing that we can be certain of, however, is that Link will have a voice. In an April Reddit AMA, director Wes Ball was asked if he thinks Link should speak in the upcoming movie. Ball said, “When I play Zelda as Link I speak with many villagers and creatures throughout the game; asking…

As the clock ticks away until Nintendo’s eventual reveal of their Switch successor, we are left to sit here and ponder on what the new system will include when it finally releases. Aside from online service improvements, new features, and even a name, one topic up for discussion is the possible inclusion of more Switch Online console collections. Currently, Nintendo’s online services include a multitude of games from consoles of years past, such as Game Boy, Super Nintendo Entertainment System,…
