For the most part Link walks the path of a loner in a vast majority of the Zelda series, and the few exceptions do little more than serve as a guide with only a few functions that actually effect gameplay such as Fi from Skyward Sword and Midna from Twilight Princess. With that in mind does Link actually need a companion, one who is more directly involved in helping Link progress through the dungeons?

Majora’s Mask was odd in a number of ways, especially when it came to its surreal moments and dreamlike cutscenes. It’s odd, then, that one of the most unusual moments that really stands out from the rest of the game is one where the player simply controls another character, and for only a few minutes! This of course was at the end of the Anju & Kafei sidequest — a massive portion of the game which I’ll probably talk about…

Okay, let’s get this out of the way: Yes I am about to defend Fi somewhat, and talk about what I think was at least an interesting thing they did with her, but I’m not denying that she was poorly executed. I mean, I included her as #3 on my list of the most annoying Zelda characters, didn’t I? I think everyone’s kind of on the same page regarding how annoying Fi can be. But that doesn’t mean everything having…

“Hey, Listen!” Who could have predicted in 1998 that these two innocent words, articulated by a winged ball of light, would become the bane of countless Zelda fans? Yet besides Kaepora Gaebora’s notoriously long-winded speeches, the infamous catchphrase of Link’s fairy companion Navi is probably the most common points of criticism leveled at Ocarina of Time. Detractors claim her often-repeated exclamations are unbearable; her personality obnoxious. Not even Tingle is demonized to such an extent. When faced with such vocal and ingrained…

Destructoid recently posted a new entry in The Memory Card. In this entry Chad Concelmo talks (for the third time) about The Wind Waker.  However, this time Chad focuses on the ending and how it established Zelda as more of a helping character that fights along side Link rather than stand hopeless on the sidelines. The first half of the article sets the scene for the moment, detailing the final cut scenes leading up to the final encounter with Ganondorf….

Got a new discussion video for you guys! This time I’m going to talk about the two darkest games in the series, Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess, and explain why I think Twilight Princess is a darker game than Majora’s Mask. I know a few of you are a little sick of hearing me complain about Twilight Princess. I’m not complaining here. While I do think how dark the game was ended up being one of it’s weaker aspects, that’s…
