Gamers know that no matter how many times you defeat a boss, there is always another story, another reincarnation, that brings our heroes face to face with the same evil all over again. This is what makes up many ongoing franchises, particularly with Nintendo. There seems to be little to no explanation as to why Bowser, Ganon and other villains won’t just stay dead, leaving our heroes to live in peace, except for the obvious need for the creators to…

Before Skyward Sword, when Nintendo first showed us the fabulous Ghirahim, I wrote an article analyzing him and proposing possibilities as to who he might be. Now that we’ve had a similar reveal for A Link Between Worlds, I thought I’d do the same for the new villain. Maybe I’m making an assumption calling him the villain, but I can’t see any way he’s not! Aside from his obviously-villainous creepy face, this character’s key trait is that he looks like…

This week on Monday Comic Corner we have another one of our favorites. Can you guess where it’s from by the title image? Like many of his comics, especially his Zelda comics, this one is animated. Subtly, as always, but to great effect. And this time his message is a little lighter than normal. Think you know where it’s from? Hit the jump to see!

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on deviantART artist Karnella‘s A Link to the Past fanart “Enter the Dark World“. This fanart shows what happens before Link reaches Agahnim to try and stop him from sacrificing Princess Zelda in order to open the seal to the Dark World. He’s forcing her onto the alter using a large knife to threaten her to do so. Once she is on the alter it will allow him perform the spell that will cause her…

Zeldamotion is an ongoing effort to convert the Legend of Zelda mangas into an animated web series. The final release will be professionally voiced and scored. It’s being created with the utmost love and respect for Nintendo and the Zelda franchise–by fans, for fans. Zeldamotion has some fairly recognized voice actors from FUNimation working on the project; we have a visual chart for the voice actors of the main characters: Link, Uncle, Agahnim, and Princess Zelda. Hit the jump to…

Hey guys, so this is a first for my videos! I’m doing a video response to Cody of Zelda Universe‘s channel. He did a video called “Zelda Villains”, discussing the villains of the Zelda series, particularly what I think the most evil and most developed villains are, although I also threw in my favorite villain. You can view the video after the jump.

So much has changed since the beginning of Zelda. A little elf boy running around and trying to save a princess is but one of the many memories people have from the 80s. The Legend of Zelda, released in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, marked the start of one of the biggest adventure game series of all time. Everything about the original Legend of Zelda defines classic. The music, the sound effects, the story and the adventure all made…

Sheik is a well known and in many ways controversial character. A fan favorite character, Sheik was Zelda’s disguise in Ocarina of Time. Fans still debate about many aspects of the character, as well as aspects of the mysterious Sheikah race, the enigmatic Shadow Folk who serve the Royal Family of Hyrule. Due to their mysterious yet important past, many fans have discussed the possibility of them appearing in Skyward Sword. I’ve written a theory article about Skyward Sword before,…

Hyrule has been portrayed as a very magical place, from its creation, the hidden structures hidden throughout, to the very people that inhabit the land. Magic is everywhere. The mystical forces that few can use and fewer can master appear in every Zelda title— sometimes as a direct intervention from a deity or fairy, sometimes as a spell cast from a character, and most often in the form of a helpful item that Link can carry and use when needed….

Hey guys! So this video discussion is all about Ganon. Specifically problems with him in some of the games. As I mention in the video, this is not a video of complaints about Ganon himself, but rather how he is treated and implemented in the stories and events of the games themselves. This video (and this will likely become common for discussion videos) is shorter than is typical for me and hopefully a little extra fun. I think this is…
