A video comparing the intros of Majora’s Mask on the N64 and Majora’s Mask 3D has been uploaded to Youtube by user Master0fHyrule. The video shows scenes from the title sequences and the games’ introductions– taking us around Clock Town and then into the Forest for that fateful altercation with Skull Kid. The graphics are greatly improved, and few things have been drastically altered. You can judge for yourself whether the 3D intro imparts the same tone as the original….

We got a glimpse of the newly announced Adventure Mode for Hyrule Warriors earlier in the week during the Nintendo Direct, but today the full intro video has been released, all in HD with great audio as well. There is nothing new to be seen as it is the same video as what we saw during the Hyrule Warriors Direct, but the quality is certainly better. Make the jump to check out the video.

Nintendo has recently updated their Official Japanese A Link Between Worlds site and with the new update come all new peeks at the contents of the game. Within the latest update we get two new videos covering some new unrevealed content. The first video displays the gameplay in various locations and shows a few portals between Hyrule and Lorule. The second video shows the introductory story for the game however it is in Japanese. Also included in the update is…

I already wrote in my last Favorite Zelda Moments editorial — where I discussed the flooded Hyrule — about how I feel The Wind Waker managed better epic presentation and cooler storytelling than most other Zelda games, including Twilight Princess, which is usually the game you’d see praised for cinematic presentation. This week I’d like to discuss a few more related moments: The meetings with the deceased Sages of Hyrule. Now, The Wind Waker is usually considered a pretty cartoony…

A few of the recent Favorite Zelda Moments posts I’ve written have covered fairly obscure moments that I’m not sure a ton of people would have considered one of their favorites — such as fricken’ Moldarach — but this one’s different; nearly everyone knows about the introductory portion of A Link to the Past and I’d be surprised if there were not a number of people who loved this part of the game. This section is what the game starts…

The intro to Link’s Awakening and Link’s Awakening DX is one that many of us are probably familiar with, as it sets the scene for the adventure on Koholint Island. Though we find out the story was all a dream, before playing through the game, the intro is very real. Or at least as real as a Gameboy could show. Our friends over at ChrisCrossMedia have applied some serious drawing skills to animate this intro! Hit the jump to see the video along…

Recently Zac Gorman posted an animated comic of his take on the introduction to A Link to the Past. Hardly does one stumble upon a piece so simple yet atmospheric. It captures the essence of the dark opening to one of Zelda’s greatest titles, pouring emotion and a feeling of sadness into the piece that the actual in-game introduction could never achieve. Link’s uncle goes out at exposition of the game and tells Link to stay in bed in order…

It looks like the intro for the Brazilian series Amor Eterno Amor may have drawn some inspiration from a certain game we all know and love. The animated intro for the show bears more than a few striking similarities to the imagery found in Skyward Sword. From large red birds flying past many floating islands in the clouds to scenes of a young boy and girl, who is also in a familiar pink dress, separated from each other. The scenes…

It shouldn’t need to be stated that any video game must have an introduction. There are many ways of constructing these early sections of a game, but for a game to have a middle and an end it must have a beginning, regardless of what form that beginning takes. Zelda games are no exception and there have been both good and bad introductory segments throughout the series. Some people have criticized the lengthy introductions found in games like The Wind…

Apparently the box for the Skyward Sword game disc that Kotaku received in the mail got smooshed somehow, but luckily the game disc wasn’t harmed. They were able to capture a few images and even take a few videos and you can see them after the jump. These pictures and this video just makes it that much more real to me. I just wish the looming release date for the US would creep up just a little bit quicker. Wouldn’t…
