Playing through Ocarina of Time, I was always curious about the boss of the Shadow Temple, Bongo Bongo, and the boss of the Spirit Temple, Twinrova. My curiosity was furthered by finding online theories for Bongo Bongo, and the final words that Twinrova leave Link with after he defeats them in the Spirit Temple. Like my editorial on Bunnio, this will be more interpretive, looking at possible backgrounds and futures of the characters, rather than analysing what the characters are…

Hi fellow Zelda Dungeon fanatics and welcome, once again, to another Timeshift Thursday feature! This week I’m looking forward to sharing and discussing a climatic battle scene with you from Link’s latest adventure, Skyward Sword, in which I’ve found the combat before the corresponding final battle to be a richer, more difficult experience. Because Skyward Sword doesn’t include the most amount of highlights for a Zelda game, in my opinion, I haven’t leaned toward writing a feature revolving around the…

A very large amount of creatures of all shapes and sizes have appeared in and around Hyrule throughout the series. Ranging from gigantic dragons and undead stalfos to the diminutive miniblins, they come in all types. Any adventurer can easily agree that Hyrule has a very diverse collection of monsters that have troubled the people and challenged heroes. However, there are a great many creatures that have appeared and have merely been called demons. What they really are or where…

It’s interesting to talk about the size of the bosses in the Zelda series, and I wrote about this before in another article, where I talked how the bosses in Zelda had stagnated in terms of concept and design. All the bosses at the time seemed to be titanically huge, follow a tired, predictable formula, and were ironically extremely easy to beat despite their intimidating size. Skyward Sword seems to have begun to reverse that trend a bit, but I’ll…

The run-up to the holiday season has definitely begun, and no doubt there are millions of people across the globe who once again have to face the yearly struggle of thinking up suitable gift ideas for those gaming fans in their lives. If you’re looking for something original, Fangamer have an excellent range of prints and posters which would make the perfect gift for any Zelda fan looking for an alternative to the standard yearly addition to their video-game back-catalogue….

My username is Axle the Beast, so it honestly shouldn’t be all that difficult to figure out that I have a thing for monsters. I’ve loved creatures of all shapes and sizes since before I can remember. I spent a portion of October reviewing them on my website, and before that I wrote an article similar to this one, counting town my top 10 Resident Evil monsters. With Zelda, choosing my favorites was harder because what defines a good monster…

Demise’s speech at the end of Skyward Sword was a significant moment for Zelda theorists and timeline enthusiasts, giving us a lot of insight into other aspects of the series (for better or for worse). However, as some fans have shown recently, what we read in the game might not have been entirely accurate. When games are localized, lots of statements are changed for various reasons, often just so they’ll sound better or be more identifiable. Sometimes, however, interesting details…
