Despite Tri Force Heroes just having been released and Hyrule Warriors Legends swiftly heading our way, some Zelda fans already have their eyes set on the rumored Twilight Princess HD. There are good pieces of evidence supporting the possibility of this game being released on Wii U fairly soon, but nothing has been confirmed. Nevertheless, the Zelda community can’t stop talking about it. Thus in a recent Podcast, IGN’s Nintendo Voice Chat asked a question that struck me, “Do We…

Last week, I discussed how the Zelda series could potentially work as an RPG. While a number of the elements were either agreed upon or ignored, one point that really stuck out and caused some great debate was the customization of the main protagonist, Link. I have to say, there were some great points on either side of the argument, some of which got me thinking heavily about this concept as a part of the series.

So what would this entail? A single addition to the game could open up a whole new world for some players, while others would boycott the series for even making it an option. Is it really that big of a deal? Could this one concept really have that much of an impact on the series as a whole? I plan to take a thorough look at both sides of this coin in an attempt to find what is best for the franchise without being murdered by the Internet.

Yesterday, Youtuber, video-game music artist, and songwriter Brent “brentalfloss” Black released a very important entry in his “with lyrics” youtube series in which he creates lyrics to the most memorable of video game tunes.  The object of his ire was none other than the legendary, often-beloved Ocarina of Time, for which he points out the flaws that make it an unworthy Zelda title to him.  Joined by fellow video-game music artist and a cappella singer, Dave Bulmer, Brent sings us through the classic argument…

You have a very important mission ahead of you… I will wait here. That’s what we princesses have always done. From what I understand, it’s kind of a family tradition. – Princess Zelda (Spirit Tracks) If it were to be told as a legend, The Legend of Zelda is pretty much always the tale of a princess in peril rescued by a brave hero in green who vanquishes evil and restores her to her rightful throne. A few times she’s…

Many fans would argue whether there should be a remake of a Zelda game, or a brand new concept all together. The way things are headed currently, we’re seeing two brand new concepts for the Zelda series. Although, there are also fans itching to hear the announcement of Majora’s Mask 3D, or Majora’s Mask HD, while others want to see more footage of Zelda U.  We’re here to discuss which Zelda titles you’d prefer.

We’ve seen many serious–even scholarly–debates or thesis about the greatness of the Legend of Zelda series. This video is not one of them. Rather, it is an adorable argument between two kids about the merits of the Legend of Zelda. Kid YouTuber HaleytheHedgehog11 has a debate with SammyClassicSonicFan (her brother?) who believes Zelda to be the best adventure game franchise in the gaming world. Haley, on the other, feels quite differently. After the heated debate, you’re asked to vote by…

Game Informer recently posted up a special edition podcast titled The Great Zelda Debate, where they argued which Zelda title is the best.  While they could not agree upon one game as the best of the series, most of the staff seemed to agree that Spirit Tracks is one of the worst entries in the series, excluding the CDi games.  The four games that ranked highest upon the Game Informer staff (in no particular order) The Legend of Zelda, A…
