Tag: City in the Sky

When Skyloft was introduced in Skyward Sword there was some speculation about whether or not Skyloft ended up becoming the City in the Sky which acts as the final dungeon in Twilight Princess. At first glance they seem like completely different places and the only reason the connection has been made is because they both hover in the sky. However, YouTube channel wwwwario has taken a closer look and there’s more to connect them than you might expect. See the…

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…

I’m going to give a heads-up on this one: Unlike all of my other dungeon reviews, the subject of this one is the only dungeon in the entire Zelda series I think I truly hate. I wrote once before that I’ve never had fun with it at any point, so while I will try my hardest to look for good things in the City in the Sky, this review is going to be virtually entirely negative.

A recent Did You Know Gaming is telling of some speculation that Twilight Princess’ City in the Sky dungeon may have been inspired by M.C. Escher’s art piece “Another World.” There are certainly many uncanny similarities, especially the “birds” in the M.C. Escher work and the ooccas from Twilight Princess. There are other similarities, too, such as how the ooccas can be seen running along the walls in a similar fashion to the paradox portrayed in “Another World.” Though the City in…

The land of Hyrule has long been divided into various themed regions, originally with common themes such as mountains, deserts, and lakes. However, as the series developed, more distinct and fantastic regions were added, giving players a larger amount of variety. In particular, there was the relatively recent addition of a sky realm, which has brought this region of Hyrule into the mythology of Zelda. In the early games, the land of Hyrule only consisted of the overworld and the…

Our friends over at Zelda Informer have been working on a series of Skyward Sword speculated articles and the most recent one is entitled Envoy to the Heavens. In this most recent article, the author talks about the potential connection between the Oocca of Twilight Princess and the land of Skyloft in Skyward Sword. Going further, the author points out some of the history of the Oocca that we learn in Twilight Princess and even gives a mention of the…
