Recently, I’ve been watching a playthrough of the very popular PS2/PS3 game, Shadow of the Colossus. I’ve noticed how the game revolves around defeating numerous bosses, and each boss fight can take a longer amount of time to defeat than a standard Zelda franchise boss. Watching this playthrough made me think: should Zelda U focus more on bosses and less on dungeons?

Typically, dungeons are what takes up most of the player’s time in a Zelda game…

Hey everyone, it’s time for another Daily Debate and today’s focus is whether or not you would prefer to use the Harp of Ages, or the Rod of Seasons…

The Heart Container system has been a staple of the Zelda franchise for a long, long time. However, one might pose the question: is it time for a change?

Heart Containers are commonly found after successfully defeating a boss, or in a chest somewhere in the overworld. After Zelda games upon Zelda games using Heart Containers, the system can become repetitive and boring. Personally, I would like to see Zelda U implement a level-up system such as the one in Zelda II, as well as…

In case you haven’t heard, Nintendo has allegedly filed a patent for a console that does not use physical discs. This brought a question to my mind: will I be buying a digital copy of Zelda U, or a more tradition physical copy?

There are arguments that can be made for a physical copy. If you’re somewhat of a collector such as I am, you like to be able to display your game cases. Whether this is to impress others or so that you can view the vast array of video games you have compiled…

Based on the responses from our Daily Debate earlier this week, we’ve found many fans do not approve of amiibo or, at the very least, do not have strong opinions on amiibo overall. Nintendo has expressed their desire to expand amiibo in future titles, but with games like Tri Force Heroes opting out of amiibo support altogether, we’re left to question the status of these figures in future Zelda games. So today we ask: should future Zelda games support amiibo, or should they disregard amiibo completely…

We recently reported on screenshots of a Tingle costume in the upcoming Super Mario Maker found on MiiVerse. Whether true or not, this news has caused fans to consider the release of a Tingle amiibo figure sometime in the near future. With the Ganondorf figure to be released next month, Nintendo is obviously not done with amiibo inspired by The Legend of Zelda. So with that in mind, what Zelda amiibo should Nintendo release next…?

We’ve talked at length over the years about how much joy and frustration we have gotten out of remakes – heck, we’ve done this with the original games themselves. What we haven’t done much of is compare, contrast, and settle on which version of games that have been remade or remastered we actually prefer. What better way to start this than with Ocarina of Time and Ocarina of Time 3D. We’re going to toss in Ocarina of Time: Master Quest that was released only on the GameCube as well, simply because it’s vastly different from the Master Quest that appeared in the 3DS version…

We’ve talked a lot about Zelda U‘s announcement lately and we’ve speculated just as much about the game’s story in the past. With Zelda U delayed to 2016 or beyond, we shouldn’t expect to hear a whole lot about its story at least until next year. However, that doesn’t mean that each of us doesn’t have certain expectations for the adventure that awaits us in this future game. So, let’s spend some time discussing what we expect and want to see in Zelda U…

Our Daily Debates here at Zelda Informer commonly consist of topics in regards to various Zelda titles across the timeline. However, today I have chosen a debate that centers around the platform of which you are viewing these few paragrahs of text: ZeldaInformer.com

The question I pose to you is this: what aspect of Zelda Informer do you enjoy most? What element of this fan-operated website causes you to come back for more, and become part of the community?…

Often, when a new Zelda game is announced or released, one of the first fan reactions is to compare it to a previous Zelda title. When Tri Force Heroes was revealed at E3, it was quickly subjected to comparison with Four Swords, despite many differences in gameplay, style and focus. When we debate about how good any Zelda game is, we usually resort to comparing it to other Zelda games. Which is the best Zelda? Which Zelda is better? we frequently ask. Much less often do we compare Zelda to other series, even ones with similar styles, subject matter, or gameplay…
