Tag: Ezlo

Howdy, everyone! I’m back for yet another bout of ZI’s weekly Photoshop Contest. This week, our focus is on everyone’s favorite magical talking hat, Ezlo: The Minish Cap. Many of you may remember Ezlo as a very useful companion in Link’s adventure, offering invaluable advice and the unique ability to shrink.  In this contest, however, we’re actually going to invent ways for our hero (or anyone) to misuse the magical Minish Cap. Before we utter even more alliterations though, we’ll need to first look at the winners of last week’s contest: Zelda Does America.…

I’ve talked about Zelda on numerous occasions, whether it’s just to my friends or right here on Zelda Dungeon. But for some reason, until now, one thing I always seem to overlook is The Minish Cap. So after thinking for a second, I thought “Why not talk about the Picori”? So, with that said, the Picori have made an appearance in only one game- The Minish Cap. And as well as I fully understand exactly why that’s the case, I…

Hello, fellow Zelda Dungeoners, and welcome again to Zelda Artist Exposition! This little feature series aims to bring great artists from the Zelda fan artwork community to greater recognition. I search through deviantART, reddit, and blogs to find artists to feature and I’ve compiled quite the list to continue featuring. If you know an artist you think should be featured, leave a comment with the artist’s information. The only requirements are they have to have at least three Zelda-related art…

Here it is, guys, the final editorial on characters from The Minish Cap. I’ve decided not to do one on the side-characters of The Minish Cap, because they’re all quite shallow, and are really only there to make the world feel more real. I was initially not going to do an editorial on The Minish Cap’s Zelda, because, for all intents and purposes, she’s a statue for the whole game. But, when I realized that some people would be upset…

Sorry about the absence of this editorial last week, I was quite busy, and by the time I was no longer busy, it was too late to get this editorial done in time. But, no matter, because here it is now. With this editorial, I once again get to look at a detailed character who makes their own decisions, so hopefully this one should be more interesting than my past several editorials. In case you have not played or completed…

That’s right, Zelda Dungeoners; second analysis of a Link in two weeks. I must warn you, in this editorial, and the upcoming one on Vaati, you may experience déjà vu to some degree, likely due to the similarity in backgrounds of Four Swords’ Link and The Minish Cap’s Link, as stated in my previous editorial. As for Vaati, well, he’s one-in-the-same, but this time he still has his memories. But why am I talking about Vaati? This is about Link!…

Hello! Look! Zelda partners are extremely important characters. They act as story-tellers, guides, and voices for our otherwise voiceless hero. Let’s not forget, they also have the most screen time of any character in the game, barring Link of course, and for this reason, the execution of a brilliant partner character is an important staple when building any Zelda game. He/she is going to be remembered for better or for worse. So which games created the best companions, and which…

Welcome to Majora’s Memes, where we bring you memetic madness weekly! Like scouring Hyrule Field for bushes that hopefully contain Rupees or bombs or arrows, we search the Internet for Zelda-related laughs. We have another big list this week. So long in fact, that we decided it was probably best if we didn’t use everything right away. I am blown away by how you guys have stepped up to help fill this feature out. It really does make it a…

Good afternoon my Zelda Dungeon friends, and welcome to another Monday and another Flute Boy’s Meadow! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving week/break, for those of you who celebrate it. For this week’s feature, I’ve opted for something people requested in the comments last week: a look at the themes for each of the companions throughout the series. Now first, I want to clarify who Link’s companions are. The term refers specifically to the guide characters that tend to…

Any Legend of Zelda fan knows how annoying some of Link’s companions have been in the past. They nag you constantly about minor issues, shouting “Hey! Listen!”, laughing at you through the Wiimote, or just spouting some gibberish that nobody on the face the planet can understand. I don’t think that these guides were put in the games just to agitate the user. They honestly believe that you should know that your batteries are low or that enemies can take…
