My name is Paul Grzelak and I love video games.

I also play Zelda.

Alright, that’s a bit of an understatement. I grew up with Zelda, namely Ocarina of Time, and I know that’s how a lot of other people got introduced to Zelda as well, but that just so happens to be my story too. I was also bedridden with cancer for a year and a half when I was seven years old and grew up in a neighborhood with few other kids to play with, so maybe that has something to do with why I’m so fond of video games. . .

A few days ago, we reported a new Ocarina of Time speedrun world record. If you found yourself intrigued by the prospect of racing through your favorite games, you’ll be happy to know a speedrunning marathon is taking place from January 4th to January 10th. Every January, Awesome Games Done Quick collects some of the highest profile speedrunners and raises money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation…

Welcome to the second installment of Piece of Heart, where we look at “The Legend of Zelda” series through the eyes of a literary professor and examine how its literary elements enhance the gaming experience. This week’s lesson is titled “More than it’s Going to Hurt You: Concerning Violence” and in a game series where the main protagonist is a swordsman, you can bet there are plenty of violent instances available for analysis. Ever been told to stop playing video…

Zelda games have always had at least one villain, usually consisting with the return of Ganondorf/Ganon. But what about the ones that don’t have Ganondorf in it? Such as, Skyward Sword, Link’s Awakening and Minish Cap! Well, I think that makes for an interesting discussion. Who do you think is the best Zelda villain? And for what reason? Insanity? Pure Evil? Or even Fashion? You can read more after the jump! Liam OrthHeyo. My name’s Liam! And I’m a huge…

For the last couple of months, I’ve been playing Oracle of Seasons off and on and there’s something I’ve come to realize: I really enjoy using Roc’s Cape. Roc’s Feather was an interesting item in its own right, but the enhanced mobility that is offered when using the cape makes it superior in every way. After recognizing this, I’ve started to wonder how Roc’s Cape could work on a console title of the Zelda series and for that matter, if…

Recently, a Tumblr artist know as “PencilTest” was discovered working on a Zelda-inspired fan-film.  The actual video cannot be viewed yet as it has not been published, but he has put out some animated GIFs of his Zelda work that have been created in Maya, After Effects, and Photoshop. To make the video he takes real footage and adds in the little Minish Cap style Link into it, which makes for some outstanding and beautiful works of art. Hit the…
