Every Zelda game has its own interesting way of progressing through the journey- be it obtaining Spiritual Stones, obtaining instruments, and so forth. For Skyward Sword, it became an extremely nerve-wracking experience due to the trials known as the Silent Realm. There were a few in there, but even though it may only be a few, that doesn’t make them any less terrifying (if you don’t know what you’re doing from the get-go). It makes me wonder; would Nintendo ever…

There is a lot of talk these days about the morals behind games getting more and more expensive, but often having a lot more content made into purchasable DLC. This discussion has reached the Zelda fandom with Nintendo’s decision to put a new dungeon in Twilight Princess HD, which is unlocked with the Wolf Link amiibo. This is a very similar situation to having DLC, and many feel like it is not fair to players. Is this a wrong move…

Technology in Zelda is rather strange, no? Zelda’s tech has remained a running joke for quite some time now, with players poking fun at how, as games are released, they often take place farther and farther back on the timeline, but the technology in said titles keeps getting more complex. We’re all looking at you, Skywards Sword. Some of the most notable instances of advanced machines in the series are the items. From the Hookshot to the Spinner, some oddly…

A typical standard for a Zelda game is having some form of collectibles- just as Ocarina of Time had Gold Skulltula Tokens, Minish Cap had Kinstones, and so forth. With this idea in mind, Gratitude Crystals were born and introduced as the collectibles of Skyward Sword. They’re collected by doing good deeds for people in Skyloft, and the other many places he happens to journey to throughout his adventure. I’ll be explaining a bit more about Gratitude Crystals further on,…

Have you ever been in a toy store, merchandise store, or any outlet, really, and noticed a severe lack of Zelda products? You would not be the only one. It is not exactly difficult to find some good Zelda merchandise, but it would not be a stretch to call such items scarce. Sure, you can go to a store like Gamestop to find your fill of figures and whatnot, but it is a shame to go to Wal-Mart and not…

Well, here we are, folks! The tail-end of 2015. This year has been pretty great for us Nintendo fans, with some sweet Zelda content to boot. Tri Force Heroes, as lackluster as it can be, gave many fans a great chance to play together in our favorite adventure series. We also got the original DLC packs for Hyrule Warriors way back in the first few months of the year, along with loads of news on Hyrule Warriors Legends. That was…

In most games of the franchise, Link is always found rescuing Princess Zelda (in one way or another). But in Spirit Tracks, Zelda is known to be your companion- in spiritual form. With Princess Zelda as your ghostly companion, making your way through the Tower of Spirits is possible due to her ability to possess Phantom’s patrolling each floor. But other than her main mechanics, the fact she’s your companion throughout the game was something that had never been done…

To many players, the Zelda series is best known for its story. The memorable plot lines and legends connected to each tile stay ith the fans for years. Still, though, I can’t help but feel like Zelda’s stories are rather simplistic, to be blunt. Yes, the intricate and complex timeline is one thing, but in terms of individual games, no one entry in the series has a storyline or lore that takes a lot of thought to understand on the…

All through The Legend of Zelda series we are shown these two characters that time and time again seem to find themselves thrust together in one perilous journey after another. They cross paths over and over, whether they are descendents or reincarnations, Link and Zelda seem to always have their fates intertwined. There is always great peril and danger that surrounds them, and it would seem as if through the main series one cannot live without the other. There is…

Tomorrow marks the last time we will see a dedicated Nintendo Direct specifically for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS. A lot of mad hype has been going around recently after the reveal of Cloud Strife as a downloadable character, but more crazy reveals could very well be around the corner, for fighters, stages, and maybe even more, like adventure modes, trophies, music and who knows what else. But what about something for us fans of Nintendo’s greatest…
