In my last editorial I stated that it would be interesting if Nintendo made a game in which the main protagonist was not Hylian, but a different race of Hyrule, so as to elaborate on their cultures. So I thought it would be a good idea to do a miniseries on what can be discerned from the current information on these groups. Some things to bear in mind while reading: this is highly opinionated speculation that is in no way…

Personally, I’m not a big fan of reddit. I guess one could say I am quite the opposite. I haven’t given it much of a chance I will admit, but I generally find it kind of irritating, especially the stereotypical inhabitants of the threads. However, every once in a while a little gem pops out of the website. This adorable little figure comes from the reddit user and yarn artist Brithus. No specific details were given about the figure other…

Hello Zelda Dungeoners! As promised a couple weeks previous, Ocarina Time is back! With a new camera, new ocarina, and four more months of practice under my belt, I am here once again to teach you awesome and exciting Zelda song favorites on the ocarina. This week, I teach a rendition of the “Deku Palace Theme” from Majora’s Mask. Jump in and listen!

I find my wallet is always weak when it comes to Zelda themed t-shirts. Every time a new ShirtPunch or BustedTees shirt themed around Zelda pops up on the internet, I cannot help but contemplate if it is in my budget to purchase and add it to my growing collection. This is another such shirt from GamerPrint. Take the jump to get a closer look.

Despite being released in the late nineties and early 2000, the Nintendo 64 Zelda games both had excellent music for their time. I don’t want to get into which was better since I hold both games in high regard in their own right, but this week I realized that I have not given much attention to the soundtrack of Majora’s Mask and hope to remedy that. Today’s music feature is looking at the “Deku Palace” theme from Majora’s Mask, a…

The land of Hyrule has always been a very diverse realm with a large variety of peoples and monsters living throughout. A very common aspect of the Zelda series is there being a clear distinction between a friendly NPCs that will talk to Link and cannot be attacked, and unfriendly enemy NPCs, which almost never speak and only exist as opponents to be defeated. This does not account for everyone, as there are the occasional exceptions on both sides. Nonetheless,…

Well, I asked you guys which game you wanted me to review the dungeons from next, and while it seemed like it was pretty close between Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess, I figured I’d at least start Majora’s Mask for October and when I’m done move on to Twilight Princess. So first up is, as always, the first dungeon of the game: Woodfall Temple. Some of the Zelda games with the best opening dungeons are the ones where the player…

Hey there guys! First video discussion in a while. I wanted to do something seasonal for Halloween, and ultimately settled on doing a few videos about the monsters in the series, starting with this one. This video is going to be about which monsters I would like to see again, because we haven’t seen them in while, or haven’t seen them in 3D, or haven’t seen them in the way I want them to appear. This is a good topic…

If you payed attention starting right after defeating Phantom Ganon, then you might laugh at this comic from Dorkly. It explains the story told to Link by the Deku Tree Sprout right after completing the Forest Temple in a particularly hilarious fashion. We see a lot of these Zelda comics but this one is especially cute; you get to see Link as a baby! See the full comic after the jump.

Ex-walkthrough writer Brandikins is now selling these excellent replicas of a Deku Shield that he made himself. Made from four-layer pinewood, this shield is 16″ wide and 19″ long. It is currently selling for $59.99 and has a personalized handle (for the right or left hand), and your choice of a red or orange Kokiri symbol. Once the shields are ordered they have to be made and then shipped, and are estimated to arrive in seven to thirteen days after…
