As they said in the Highlander, “There can be only one.” So what is that one? Hell if I know. I mean c’mon, we wouldn’t be doing these polls if we knew for certain. We know the answers to this poll will change as time goes on, new games are introduced, and our biases change, but for now let’s see where we are as a fanbase. Last time we had The Minish Cap face off against Oracle of Ages, and the former came out on top. This time around it’s the other part of the Oracle duo, Oracle of Seasons, to face off against the first entry in the DS Zelda games, Phantom Hourglass. Remember, don’t judge the game as a whole, only its soundtrack. Hop on in and vote!

Welcome back to another edition of Milk Bar Mornings!

We will be looking at some of the tracks from the Zelda Series for Guitar book, a sheet music book containing, as the name suggests, various themes from the series. Now you might be wondering, “How could you possibly analyze those pieces?…

Who here hates Miniblins? I sure did in The Wind Waker. Truthfully, those annoying cretins gave me more trouble than Darknuts. I could dodge and weave all I wanted, but a horde of Miniblins could always land a blow. However annoying these creatures are, they still stand as a distinct trademark of the Adult timeline. Commemorating their wickedness, reddit user, bulletproofheart6, sculpted a complete clay model of a Miniblin. Hit the jump to view the carving!

My previous patient was a lesser known character from The Wind Waker, Gossack, who had an inconclusive diagnosis. This week, by popular demand, I am going to take a look at a well known character who makes an appearance throughout many games in the Zelda series. His name is never given, and is on most occasions seen out and about, worrying about his task at hand. He is constantly running from place to place, but seems happy where he is….

Round One continues with our 4th matchup, pitting two of the most successful handheld editions of the Zelda franchise against each other in Link’s Awakening and Phantom Hourglass. The later game moved just shy of 5 million copies worldwide, making it the single most successful handheld Zelda game ever released. What placed second? The very first handheld Zelda game ever crafted, Link’s Awakening. Who advances? Will it be the game that proved handheld Zelda games are possible, or will it be the game that has arguably been the most popular handheld title to date? Head inside to vote!
