I can’t count the number of times I’ve stated that my favorite game in the Zelda series is A Link to the Past. While some of that passion for the game is tied to a personal history, I still believe that the game stands as one of the greatest experiences in gaming history. So, when Viz decided to release the Nintendo Power comic featuring A Link to the Past, I was ecstatic. Well, our friend, Derrick, over at GameXplain has uploaded a video showing off the reprint. Check out the embedded video above to get a glimpse into the magic…

Ten years ago, the yearly Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) saw one of its most jaw-dropping reveals in a long history of memorable video game announcements. At the tail end of Nintendo’s press conference, the Japanese game company had one last surprise in store. The throng of game enthusiasts crowding the auditorium sat in near-silent anticipation as it set its final trailer in motion. The lights dimmed as heroic music played over scenes of an unknown hero galloping towards a hostile…

In addition to the Nintendo Power Skyward Sword review, the magazine also had a two page interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. Within the interview, Aonuma talks about the controls of Skyward Sword, the development, some storyline aspects, some of the strange characters, the items, and even some mentions of Zelda Wii U.

Remember the Legend of Zelda Comic Book that came out in the early 90s? It was released in monthly installments as part of Nintendo Power magazine and it ran for 12 issues.

In Nintendo Power’s November issue, they celebrated the GameCube’s tenth anniversary by creating a list of the console’s top 25 games. All three Legend of Zelda games released for the GameCube made the list. The Wind Waker came in second, Twilight Princess came in third, and Four Swords Adventure came in twenty-second. It’s hard to believe that the Gamecube came out ten years ago, especially when many of the games on the list are still talked about and played today….
