Long before Nintendo released the Wii, gamers were introduced to the successor to the Nintendo 64. After all the feats the Nintendo 64 achieved, would a new system ever be able to outshine it? When gamers saw the first previews of the Nintendo GameCube in 2000, they knew there would be marvelous things to come. Nintendo released two chief Zelda games for the GameCube, the masterpieces known as The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. The Wind Waker gave Zelda fans a glimpse…

The Zelda series is home to some radically different styles of storytelling, gameplay, and visual design. But if the entire Zelda franchise could be distilled to one set of elements, one preferred tone and graphical style, which would it be? Should Zelda games continue to pursue whatever direction they have grounded themselves in from their inception, or should they move forward into bold new territory?

It also enhanced many of the techniques from the older games and built upon their themes and stories. But was it a truly amazing game, or was it just an average game that people have over-glorified? Well, we think that it was an amazing game, even though it could be very much improved with today’s…

During the buildup to the release of Twilight Princess, many Zelda fans were greatly anticipating the title and much of that anticipation was due to the more mature visual look. However, with nearly four years since the release of Twilight Princess, there now seems to be more of a mixed opinion towards the graphics of the game. Many people think it was actually a step back from the Wind Waker, while others still think it is by far the best…

There is a lot of goodies to be found in this short interview with Eiji Aonuma. He talks about Wii Motion Plus and the Skyward Sword swordplay rather extensively, talking about how things came to be. It’s quite interesting that the graphics for the game were decided on because of Wii Motion Plus. Aonuma states that they were working out the battling system prior to when the graphical design was complete and that it would have been awkward to use…

I’m back guys! Sorry for the wait before getting a new video from me.

Our friends over at The Hidden Triforce have recently written an article in which they firmly believe that Zelda Wii would be amazing if they borrow a bit from The Wind Waker. Here is a small tidbit from their recently posted article. Nintendo’s best Zelda games are those which revolutionize the series in some imaginative way and in my opinion The Wind Waker…

Over the past year there has been so many fans out there that have created fake screenshots that they have claimed to be of Zelda Wii. Perhaps most known of these is the Oblivion modifications that included Link’s character. Nevertheless, the video embedded below includes a slideshow of a handful of the fake screenshots that we have seen for Zelda Wii. They certainly have the Twilight Princess feel to them, but some of them truly do look awesome. We are…
