At first glance, the relationship between Hyrule Castle Town and Kakariko Village is a simple one: they each represent a different way of life. The residents of Castle Town actively engage in commerce and trade, while those in Kakariko express a feeling of simplicity.

GroundBreaking has released a new single called Phantom, a song dedicated to Phantom Ganon. I did get a bit lost in the lyrics, but the beat really does it for me. I can’t really decide the exact genre this song is in, but it’s definitely something I can listen to while getting some work done. GroundBreaking does music remixes and original creations based on the games he loves. Still, this specific beat caught my ear by…

As many know at this point, Nintendo has seemed to remake quite a few Zelda games for both 3DS and Wii U. With Zelda U and Tri Force Heroes releasing in the future, who’s to say when the next remake will release? And to that, there’s a follow-up question- what will the next remake be? Would it be a remake of an older Zelda title, or a newer one? Is it of high-demand, or do you even care to see…

Ronda Rousey is currently the most popular UFC fighter in the world. She has never lost a match and has sat all alone as the Batamweight Class Champion. She is a force to be reckoned with in the octagon, as she typically finishes her opponents in less than a minute, sometimes less than 30 seconds. Her fame and popularity has sky rocketed, but it is notable she was also a medalist in the Olympics via Judo before her UFC popularity exploded. She also happens to be a pretty big video gamer.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is widely regarded as one of the best video games of all time, so it comes as no surprise that it is still ranked highly in charts and best selling lists internationally after 17 years. Last week, the game reached its fourth week at first place in the Nintendo eShop charts…

Many of us played Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask as kids and now have vivid memories of creepy environments or monsters that struck us with fear. One of the most infamously scary creatures is the ReDead, a monster so terrifying that Link, the bearer of the Triforce of Courage, becomes frozen with fear as it approaches with a shrill scream, grabs hold of him, and saps his strength in one of the most horrifying game mechanics of the series. While most of us assume that ReDeads, given their name and features, are animated corpses, some of Nintendo’s statements have actually indicated the contrary…
