Tag: Adventure of Link

In this Zelda Collection video I take a look at a figurine dating all the way back to 1989. This is an officially licensed Link figurine from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. It’s rather simplistic and Link surely does have a rather unique look. His face in particular is quite strange with his gazing eyes. This figurine was part of a set of 12, including 9 Super Mario figurines and 2 Punch-Out figurines. It looks like the Legend of…

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes is a huge Legend of Zelda fan and he recently shared his thoughts on what his fondest memory of Zelda series is. Cody Rhodes is known to be a huge Zelda fan and at one point during his wrestling career, he even wore boots that had the triforce symbol on them, as you can see in the image to the left. His fondest memory is one that really is quite hilarious. Despite the fact that he…

The folks over at Official Nintendo Magazine have posted several tips for the two NES Zelda titles that have recently become available as part of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program. In total they give 5 tips, 3 of them for the original Legend of Zelda, and 2 of them for the Adventure of Link. One of the Legend of Zelda tips that they gave is extremely useful and one that I would use quite often back in the day when…

Nintendo has revealed the list of all the NES games that will be included in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program and there is good news for Zelda fans.

Brentalfloss is an established YouTuber who is well known for taking old video games and putting lyrics to their music. A little over a year ago, Brentalfloss released a video for the original Legend of Zelda and it was such a hit that fans have been craving for a sequel ever since. Well, that day has come as Brentalfloss has created another Zelda music video, conveniently titled What if Zelda II had lyrics. You can watch the video embedded below….

The folks over at GameSpite.net have put together another article, this time looking back at Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. A few weeks ago they looked back at the original Legend of Zelda and they had some great things to say. However, for the Adventure of Link, it’s a different story. A lot of resentment toward the game is directed at the three lives and experience reset system, which don’t mesh well with dungeons full of life-stealing pits and…

The Legend of Zelda is the game series that we all know and love. Almost all of us hold the Super Mario series very close to us as well. For a lot of us, Super Mario 64 was our very first video game ever. I love them both, but has the Zelda series made decisions so that the games are stuck at a standstill?

These days we seem to be hearing more and more talk about the Zelda series getting stale. Nintendo reusing the same structure in each game is a good example. And I don’t just mean the game in general (collect three items, plot twist, collect some more items, final showdown). I’m also talking about specific elements, such as dungeon structure. Even other elements of the series have been reused again and again. Villains, items, plot twists, kidnappings, magical objects. Some people…

Ever wonder what the Legend of Zelda would look like if it was in first person mode? Ever wonder what the classic NES Zelda titles would look like if they were remade in 3d? Well now you can put your wonders to the test as a fan has recreated Adventure of Link in 3D. You can head on over to his blog and you may need to quickly install a plugin that will allow you to play. The game is…

The video embedded to the right is a couple months old but I just happened to come across is just today. It is created by The Adventures Of Duane & BrandO, who also created a Legend of Zelda Rap about a month ago. A word of warning, the song does contain some language that isn’t appropriate for everybody, but it’s all for good fun. I enjoyed the video much more so than the Legend of Zelda rap they put together…
