It’s fascinating to find similarities between Zelda titles that some fans may not think of or realize, and one of those similarities that a few Zelda games have in common is as big as a whale…

I remember playing Wario Ware on the Wii and loving the Animal Crossing fishing challenge because it required minimal strategy, was quick, and my catch offered instant gratification when displayed. Contrary to this fast paced mini-game, fishing in The Legend of Zelda actually requires some skill and a level of patience, so it isn’t a surprise that I never really took to fishing in Zelda. Fishing appears in five Zelda titles now with its implementation in Majora’s Mask 3D, which…

Stories of valiant knights, princes and other heroes who fight for their beloved ladies are some of the oldest and most beloved stories in human history. Perhaps even THE oldest, depending on your interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh. So it was to be expected that a concept as basic as fighting for those you care about eventually ended up in The Legend of Zelda, or at least have fans ascribe it to individual games. But is there any truth…

Hello! I am Darrin W. Harr II. In this editorial I hope to convey how I got into the Legend of Zelda series, and why I write for Zelda Informer. The first video game I ever played was the classic NES title Super Mario Bros. My grandparents were the ones that had the NES at their house, and this is where my love for video games was born. My grandparents basically handed me a controller, showed me what was jump, move, and run, and let me on my own. Pretty soon I was racing through levels like no tomorrow, stomping on goombas left and right. I then started playing games such as…

In part two of this series counting just how often Link gets the girl at the end of each Zelda game, I’ll pick up the editorial right where the first part left off with Wind Waker.  This article will include every other Zelda game in order of release after Wind Waker. The exception will be Hyrule Warriors because it isn’t canon (feel free to rage about that in the comments below). 

Ah, the start of a new year. It’s an end to the holiday season, and the start of a crazy crop of New Year’s resolutions! Many of these resolutions result in people enthusiastically starting, and then falling off the bandwagon within a few months. Here at Zelda Informer, the question for you today is: what is your Zelda-related New Year’s resolution?

Five years removed from the release of Spirit Tracks, Nintendo has shifted gears on the handheld front with re-releases of Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. With A Link Between Worlds being a drastically different title from the original Nintendo DS games, it begs the question of whether touch-based Zelda gaming is now a thing of the past. This week the Zelda Dungeon staff looks back at the touch based gameplay mechanics from the Nintendo DS era.

Zelda fans are always coming up with creative ways to wear their favorite franchise on their sleeves, but how about wearing it on their nails? Well, YouTube nail artist MaGa DollieLife has found a way. Though she’s not the first to do Zelda nail art, her art is unique in that she uses acrylic nail polish and the designs are 3D! MaGa DollieLife lays out the steps to creating a 3D acrylic nail art Triforce, Toon Link, and Ciela the…

I’ve continued my journey through Phantom Hourglass in my quest to upgrade the websites’ guide for the game. In this update I have completed chapter 2 of the walkthrough covering the Temple of Wind. The old Phantom Hourglass guide is one of the oldest pieces of content remaining on Zelda Dungeon, dating all the way back to the games release in October 2007. With the possibility of Nintendo DS games coming to the Wii U eShop, it seems to make…

As part of our continued effort to improve some of our old content, I’ve begun the process of revamping our Phantom Hourglass Walkthrough. The guide, originally written back when the game released in 2007, marks one of the oldest remaining pieces of content here at the website. Thus far just the first chapter of the guide, covering up through the Temple of Fire has been completed. Earlier this year Nintendo announced a plan to eventually bring some Nintendo DS software…
