Tag: link to the past

As most of you probably know by now, during the Nintendo Direct live stream last week a sequel to A Link to the Past was announced for the 3DS. Eiji Aonuma, the executive producer of the Legend of Zelda games, has recently posted on Miiverse, and given a couple comments on the sequel to the Highly regarded classic. Aonuma talks about how long the title has been in the works, and gives a short description of the game. To see…

Don’t you think it’s perfect that the cover of Hyrule Historia’s English version is green? Don’t get me wrong, the ancient brown look of the original cover, making it look like an old tome, was pretty awesome and, I’m not knocking it. But the green is perfect, and not just because it’s Link’s color. Surely I can’t be the only person who’s reminded of the Book of Mudora from A Link to the Past? I realize that might sound like…

Good afternoon, and welcome to the first in a new series of Flute Boy’s Meadow: Overworld Themes! As the name suggests, for the next few weeks Flute Boy’s Meadow will be looking at all of the overworld tunes from the Zelda series and see how they compare and contrast to each other. While I do aim to cover every game from the original Legend of Zelda to Skyward Sword, this is not going to be a sixteen-part series. I have…

Don’t we all enjoy a video or comic to playfully poke fun at the little quarks and questions that have arisen in the Zelda community? And who better to wrap a few jokes into an animation with a ridiculous, cheesy twist than Dorkly? Put together a talking Triforce, Link’s innate silence, and a curious wish, and you have yourself a one minute short. Hit the jump to see the video!

A group by the name of Aeipathy Industries has reached out to the fans via Kickstarter to try to improve a project they’ve started called Zeldamotion. The creator of the project, Sean Heitmeyer originally started this because he wanted to animate the Zelda manga series. After the fans showed a great response to an animated comic he made, he decided to make his hobby into a full animation with voice actors and completely original artwork. This is where he needs…

Hey guys! Got a new video discussion and this is a topic I think some of you have been waiting for me to cover. I’ve received the question many times now: “Which would you rather Nintendo remake, A Link to the Past or Majora’s Mask?” I’d been avoiding answering because I’ve been planning this video. This video covers exactly that subject. It’s a detailed list of reasons why. I will not be covering my thoughts on Majora’s Mask 3D much…

What is a leitmotif you ask? Excellent question! In simple terms, it’s just a musical theme that is associated with a specific person or idea. Though the idea of leitmotif has been around since the late eighteenth century, the actual term itself was coined by Richard Wagner. Today, most people have no idea who Richard Wagner is, but back in the mid to late nineteenth century, he was pretty hot stuff. Now, what on earth does leitmotif have to do…

Game Informer recently posted up a special edition podcast titled The Great Zelda Debate, where they argued which Zelda title is the best.  While they could not agree upon one game as the best of the series, most of the staff seemed to agree that Spirit Tracks is one of the worst entries in the series, excluding the CDi games.  The four games that ranked highest upon the Game Informer staff (in no particular order) The Legend of Zelda, A…
