If you’re a die hard fan of the Zelda franchise like most of us, chances are you’ve played through most and if not, then all of the titles in the massive Nintendo franchise.
In this article, I will be introducing a new weekly series called ‘Goron Research Institute’, and exploring the rich history of the Faron Province.
As with any story, not every moment is going to satisfy every person. The plot may go against expectations, a character may develop inappropriately, or a conflict may resolve in a disappointing way. There are no doubt a few story moments in the Zelda series that left us disappointed, so we feel it’s time to discuss how and why these moments affected us in such a way…
The Zelda series consists of many sequels over a twenty year long history and definitely creates very deep and complex history with many twists and turns. The confusion caused by the lengthy history has created much debate between the fans for years before Nintendo finally released the official timeline a year ago. But all of this might still be confusing for a beginner to the series. Fortunately YouTube member Lore is here to help out anyone who might be a…

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…
The YouTube channel Lore in a Minute focuses on making weekly videos that give a quick and informative summary of a video game’s lore and/or backstory. These videos give gamers a fair bit of knowledge about a game so they can play it without feeling lost in the story, and they don’t have to spend hours researching since these videos are usually about a minute or so in length.

Zelda lore is truly unique. After over 25 years, we finally have a clear-cut timeline, and some very basic facts laid out: There are three Triforce pieces, several heroes, several princesses, and a monstrous succession of villains bred by hatred. But for every question each new game answers about the series’ lore, more questions arise. How does this world work? What is its history really like?
