Hello readers! Brian here with the fourteenth edition of “The Best and Worst of Zelda.” This week’s topic has been frequently suggested, and I thought it was about time to address it, so thanks to all of you who have commented!

If you’ve ever wanted to go to Video Games Live or The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, but have been unable to, maybe you can book Princess Zelda herself. Or rather, you’d book Cris Gale.
