The year 2015 has just ended, and many of us are reflecting on what the year brought us and what we want to accomplish, or look forward to in the new year. IGN has recently released its nominations for the Best of 2015, and there are several Zelda titles nominated! You, the fans can decide the winners by casting your votes, winners will be announced in January. There is not much time, show your support for Zelda and vote away!…

Admittedly, when The Wind Waker was released back in 2003, I was not a fan. My first look at it was as a twenty minute demo on the Zelda Collector’s Edition my siblings and I got for Christmas when I was ten. At the time, I had just finished playing through Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask–my second and third Zelda games ever–and the concept of a ‘Toon Link’ was so bizarre to me, the switch in worlds so monumental…

Tri Force Heroes has been out for long enough for many to have tried out the multiplayer mode, whether online or local, and many are going on the mindset that they do not like playing with strangers, so they instead go through the adventures with their friends only. Though, will these people still be friends after all is said and done? Nintendo is no stranger to making multiplayer games that make people hate eachother during gameplay, for one reason or…

Boy, these days, are we clawing and scraping for Zelda Wii U news of any kind. trailers, screenshots, artwork, A TITLE – anything would be nice. Thankfully, Aonuma is willing to talk about the game a bit to popular sites, even if he doesn’t say much. IGN had a chance to ask him about the game, and he apparently has some plans we are not expecting for the new open world everyone’s been asking for! Check out the quotes after…

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is a timeless classic and a staple of the Zelda series, and one of my personal favourites. The game was released on the Game Boy, and then re-released as a Game Boy Colour game under the vise of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX. But has it been overlooked over the years? Could it quite possibly, and quite secretly, be the best Zelda game of them all? IGN discusses that in the video above!

IGN has created a new series, called “History of Awesome”, in which they review the most significant and influential media of that year. For 1992, they focus on various games, including Mortal Kombat, Batman, Wolfenstein 3-D, and at the 33:00 mark, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Watching this discussion, I am taken way back to my very first memories of Nintendo…

In a recent video uploaded to IGN’s YouTube channel, various members of the IGN staff discuss why they love The Legend of Zelda for the NES, and why they believe it was so successful.

One of the first topics of discussion was the marketing choices Nintendo of America made at the time. One choice in particular was the gold cartridge that The Legend of Zelda was commonly sold on…

With the enormous success of Nintendo’s NFC toy-to-life figures, amiibo, it seems that these highly-coveted statuettes of video game characters are being integrated in to more and more Wii U and 3DS games. However, given their undeniable popularity, Tri Force Heroes‘ developer, Hiromasa Shikata, has denied the support of amiibo in the game. You can read his statement…

In a recent interview with IGN, Tri Force Heroes‘ developer Hiromasa Shikata attempted to explain why there will be no playable female character in the game. The following is an excerpt that only includes Shikata’s comments, but you can view IGN’s questions and responses in the full interview here…
