It’s always great to see artists capture the Zelda universe in visually creative ways. A few days ago, animator and director Alexis-Francois Morand released an animated short film titled Ganon. The short follows the Great King of Evil as he travels across various settings and encounters several characters from the Zelda series. With amazing visuals and presentation, this is an adventure you’ll definitely want to check out…

Animator Alexis Morand recently posted an amazing new video featuring animated adventures of the Gerudo king titled Ganon. In the video we see some popular scenes from various parts of the series such as Koholint Island, Lost Woods, and Death Mountain only from the perspective of Ganondorf in the place of Link. He wanders from familiar scene to familiar scene to a musical score from James O’Connor Moneley. Jump inside to check it out for yourself.

No matter how far away a new Zelda game is, or how little we know about the next entry in the series, thoughts and theories are always swirling in our minds. What will the next game be like? Will it be top-down or 3D? Will it be set in Hyrule or somewhere else? How in the world can we possibly know what will come next in the series? 

Welcome to a new set of articles designed to do just that: extrapolate on past Zelda games to inform us about potential future entries. To do this, I’m taking a close look at the Zelda timeline; in particular, each of the three eras: the Era of Decline, the Child Era, and the Adult Era. Why only look at those eras, and not the Unified Timeline from Skyward Sword to Ocarina of Time? I think it’s time to move the timeline forward and explore the future of the three different eras brought about by the events of Ocarina of Time. Let’s start this off with a look at the Era of Decline.

From the very inception, Ganondorf has stood as the iconic villain of the Zelda franchise. Memorable as he may be, many fans appear to be in favor of new and diverse villains. Vaati, The Skull Kid, and even Girahim are loved by fans near and far. So why does Ganondorf still await us in the final dungeon of so many games…

Hyrule Warriors‘ next DLC pack, the Boss Pack, is set for release on March 12th here in the United States. The DLC has already been released in Europe and Japan, so some fans are demolishing foes as Beast Ganon in the new “Ganon’s Fury” game mode as we speak. Japanese Entertainment has recently released some gameplay footage of this new mode on YouTube, and it would seem Koei Tecmo wasn’t lying when they said players can “rain chaos and destruction upon the battlefield” as Ganon…

Over a third of year after its initial release and Hyrule Warriors is still staying relevant with a steady stream of DLC packs. The most recent one was, rather appropriately, Majora’s Mask themed, enabling players to battle as fan favorite Tingle and throwing in more content on top of that for good measure. This, however, is clearly not the end of the content to come for the surprisingly successful crossover title, as a new pack was announced today, along with a handful of screenshots showing the latest playable…

The time has come for yet another test of wit, creativity, and the use of expensive software for trivial purposes: a Photoshop Contest is upon us!

The gist of this contest is, we’re asking readers to submit the funniest, zaniest, most creative, or most awe-inspiring pictures they can produce with image alteration software, and submit them as a comment below this article. But before we discuss this week’s contest, let’s honor the winners from last week’s contest: Grandma’s Adventure!

Being evil never looked so good. First 4 Figures has made a Wind Waker Ganon figurine available for purchase, and as shown in the images below, it truly is something to drool over…

In the biggest games of the series, Ganon, in some shape or form, has nearly always been the final enemy waiting for Link at the final hurdle of his adventure – and for good reason. The Prince of Darkness’ immense power and cunning makes him a foe worthy of final boss status, providing inspiration for countless examples of ultimate enemies in other games. While there’s not really a need to switch from such a iconic villain, especially considering his diverse iterations, the series is prone to introducing other intimidating antagonists, making it clear that the wielder of…

With many of the Zelda games the final boss occurs in different forms. In Windwaker you fight three forms before going up against Ganondorf’s human form, but is that really a requirement or can the final boss fight be entertaining without all the different transformations?
