The hype for Nintendo’s highly anticipated Legend of Zelda title, A Link Between Worlds, has been quite extensive over the last few days as gaming sites gear up to publish their official reviews. Thankfully, as these reviewers continue to analyse the game’s every twist and turn, we gain the reward of seeing the gameplay videos which each site uploads. Today, we have three more gameplay videos containing a new boss battle, fiery mini boss battle, and all-new vision of the…

Hello readers! Brian here with the twelfth edition of “The Best and Worst of Zelda.” This topic has been frequently requested, but most recently by a user named JeredenDonnar, so thanks to everybody for their comments! Don’t forget to write a suggestion for next week’s topic in the comment section. Mini-bosses tend to remain unjustly forgotten. Sure, the dungeon boss is important for a climactic and memorable finish, but mini-bosses retain a very different kind of importance. They maintain the…

Hello readers! Brian here with the tenth edition of “The Best and Worst of Zelda.” Last week we covered plenty of the series’ final bosses, but for completion’s sake, I thought it fitting to make this second post focusing on everything I left out! That’s right, every single final boss will be covered! Next week’s theme has already been determined, but feel free to write in your ideas for the future. So, let’s get right to it!

Hello readers! Brian here with the ninth edition of “The Best and Worst of Zelda.” This week’s topic was requested by multiple people on a number of different articles, so much thanks to everybody who gave an idea. Next week will be the tenth installment of the series, so don’t forget to post some great ideas down in the comment section. And now, without further ado… Two months ago I covered antagonists in my very first editorial, explaining how I…

This one was inevitable; I mean, what are dragons if not the single most well-known and popular mythical creature around? They show up all the time in modern fantasy stories and ancient myths alike, appearing in the beliefs and myths of many cultures worldwide. It seems everyone’s into large winged lizards with a little feline grace.

Alright, well here we are. Time to review the last of The Minish Cap’s dungeons before the last hurrah in Dark Hyrule Castle. It’s not my favorite dungeon in The Minish Cap — that award still goes to the Temple of Droplets — but it is my second-favorite and it’s also the only wind-themed dungeon in the series that I like. I’m sure you’ve noticed the trend if you’ve been keeping up with my Dungeon Reflections, how I’ve bashed the…

This probably isn’t a moment that a lot of other people would call one of their favorites. It’s just Moldarach. Again. In a pretty similar-looking room, when you’re stronger and it’s much easier to defeat. “That’s the definition of lame boss recycling!” you might say. Possibly, but I think there’s some other serious merits to this moment, and because of them, it at least made a big impact on me. Think about it from this perspective: How many bosses in…

LIMITED CHANCE–ITEM NO LONGER AVAILABLE I have seen some pretty cool Zelda shirts in my time, but today something has trumped most of my favorites. Shirt design website ShirtPunch has a one-day-only special running right now on two shirts: one is a mash-up of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Rosie the Riveter, while the other… well, jump inside to see for yourself!
