This time I’ll be reviewing the Fire Temple from Ocarina of Time. Like I said last week, though, this is my least favorite dungeon of the game. I also said Inside Jabu-Jabu’s Belly was the worst, and I meant that. The Fire Temple isn’t a bad dungeon, but I don’t ever seem to have that much fun with it. In terms of themes, there’s very little to say about the Fire Temple. Like Dodongo’s Cavern, several portions of the dungeon…

Alright, so I’ve already talked about the Child Link dungeons of the game, going way into detail on the dungeons that essentially form the introduction of Ocarina of Time. Now I will be reviewing and examining the Forest Temple, the first of the game’s Adult Link dungeons, and this is significant because the second portion of the game is practically designed as the game’s true beginning. The Child Link dungeons have relatively simple design compared to the Adult Link ones,…

In my old article, Overworlds: The Land Between, I took the time to define the personal names I have for four styles of overworld commonly seen in Zelda. The wilderness is a wild and dangerous area where you are left on your own, while the map is either a miniaturized representation of the world or little more than a menu. But it’s the hub and transportation overworlds that I will be focusing on in this article, for I believe that…

So far in this series I’ve reviewed Inside the Deku Tree, which I’ve said is a very easy tutorial but is justified in being so because of its place in the series, and Dodongo’s Cavern, which I’ve called my favorite of the Child Link dungeons in Ocarina of Time. Now I will review the third and final Child Link dungeon before moving onto the Adult Link portion of the game, Inside Jabu-Jabu’s Belly. “Wait, I’m going where?” Yeah, it’s inside…

Hey there guys! New mailbag, but before I talk about that, the mailbag logo contest concluded and I’m now starting a new contest, this time for an intro! Check out the rules in this thread and submit your intro video, which will start being used in Mailbag #100! Anyway, we’ve got 12 questions this time. Skyward Sword seems to be a major topic, being relevant to multiple other questions. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or view the embed…

This is the second editorial in this series and so we will discuss the game’s second dungeon, Dodongo’s Cavern, my personal favorite of the game’s Child Link dungeons. This dungeon is visited in order to defeat its boss, King Dodongo, and purge it of the ironically invading Dodongos so the Gorons can gather food there. Why it’s called Dodongo’s Cavern if it’s not supposed to have Dodongos in it, we will never know. Dodongo’s Cavern is arguably one of the…

Hey guys! That mailbag logo contest is being extended to August 8th, so you have just a little longer to submit your logo. Check out the terms of the contest here. Anyway, Mailbag #094! Got a lot of broad questions this time, with few that relate to any one game exclusively. 13 questions in all. You can watch it here or check out the video embed after the jump. Enjoy! Questions and timestamps: (00:42) – What is your favorite graphical…

In this series of editorials, I’ll be reviewing the dungeons of Ocarina of Time and examining them, in the same vein as I did with my Skyward Sword Dungeons series. And of course, the first dungeon in Ocarina of Time is Inside the Deku Tree, which is the last major destination of the game’s tutorial portion. In fact, this dungeon is arguably the first example of a super easy “introductory dungeon” the series has seen; other first dungeons that came…

New mailbag, guys! This one is actually pretty broad without questions about any game specifically, though numerous ones are about dungeons. Bigger news is the contest I’m starting for a new Curiosity Shop logo. The new logo is due July 31st, and should have the mailbag’s name, be a transparent GIF or PNG, and look good in both small and large resolutions. Check out the logo contest thread on the forums to review the rules and/or submit your logo! Anyway,…

Alright guys, it’s time for a new mailbag. This one’s huge! 18 questions in total. I’m pretty sure that’s a new record for the Curiosity Shop. There’s some really good variety, too, with questions spread out across numerous games and only a single short one that’s Skyward Sword related. Hope you enjoy! You can watch the video here or check out the embed after the jump. Questions and timestamps: (00:15) – Would you like future overworlds to be like the…
