There are an almost endless number of factors that contribute to the commercial appeal of a videogame– gameplay, functionality, developer, rating– but a game isn’t going to sell if it isn’t pleasing to the eye, at least in some capacity. We can judge by the turbulent behavior following the reveal of Wind Waker’s art style or Skyward Swords’ downgraded graphics that appearance does matter within the Zelda series. So let’s take a look at some of the varied Zelda visual…

We have seen many different special abilities and powers given to Link throughout the years. Transformation masks, wolf form , painting form, time travel and the list goes on. Through these abilities we have been given faster methods of transport, unique ways to travel through Hyrule and other regions, ways to reach normally unreachable places etc. We as fans generally receive all these things well. They add something new to the series and it gives us one more things to look forward…

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,…

The Legend of Zelda has inspired many different artist over the years to create a variety of beautiful artwork, in the image of many of the familiar faces we see through the franchise. Each of us fans have our own thoughts and opinions as to our favorite ways that these artists depict some of our favorite characters. For me, one of my favorite things is when artists create pieces with my favorite characters depicted in the manga or anime style….

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…

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…

In The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time we are introduced to The Great Deku Tree, the Guardian of the Forest, he stands watch over all of his surroundings protecting all the creatures and beings that lie within his lush green forest. Sadly, The Great Deku tree has been cursed and although child Link battles fearlessly to save him, it was too late for this great “Shepard of the Forest”. We then see him again in The Wind Waker acting…
