In most games of the franchise, Link is always found rescuing Princess Zelda (in one way or another). But in Spirit Tracks, Zelda is known to be your companion- in spiritual form. With Princess Zelda as your ghostly companion, making your way through the Tower of Spirits is possible due to her ability to possess Phantom’s patrolling each floor. But other than her main mechanics, the fact she’s your companion throughout the game was something that had never been done…

Super Smash Bros., throughout it’s series history, has helped answered fans answer long debates with friends about which of their favorite Nintendo characters was tougher, but it seems YouTuber AndrewMFilms has taken a very different approach. Andrew has created a live-action fight video featuring Nintendo’s most famous princesses, Zelda and Peach, and the production value is quite high. Who will win? Check out the video after the jump to find out!

Chibi Robo!: Zip Lash, a new platformer releasing for the 3DS, will support every single amiibo according to Nintendo. This obviously means that the Link, Princess Zelda, Sheik, Toon Link, and Ganondorf amiibo will be compatible with the game.

While any amiibo besides the Chibi-Robo amiibo won’t grant you any large bonus, it’s pretty nice to know that every amiibo in your collection can be used. Scanning an amiibo will unlock in-game coins, as well as give you a statue of Chibi-Robo performing the pose of that amiibo. However…

Video game graphics have improved immensely over the years and The Legend of Zelda is a prime example of its growth, beginning with 8-bit sprites and transitioning to fully animated 3D models. And there’s no doubt that 3D animation has come a mighty long way since Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64. Imgur user, game designer, and 3D artist John Guerra was thus inspired to pick-apart the workings of five 3D Princess Zelda models. The jump in resolution from…

Throughout the Legend of Zelda series we meet many characters in the realm of Hyrule that touch our hearts, and others who set incite our rage. Although the main focus of the series itself is our protagonist Link, he meets many on his quest to save Hyrule who spark the fire of inspiration within our hearts…

Getting kidnapped is such a drag, especially if you’re not wearing a comfortable outfit. And when you’re finally free to make your getaway, long gowns are far from convenient, and just a pain to deal with. Face it ladies: impractical dresses just aren’t suited for the life of a princess. Fortunately Think Geek has a solution…

There are many connections between the various songs within the games of the Zelda franchise, but two in particular have a unique connection.  Although many fans are well-acquainted with the iconic Zelda’s Lullaby and the more recent Ballad of the Goddess, fewer are fully aware that the latter song uses the exact same notes as the former just played in reverse.  Admittedly, there is a good deal of added instrumentation and rhythmic/temporal variation in the Ballad of the Goddess, but the main melodies use the same notes…

Last year, we facilitated a very active debate about the best version of Link. With all the colorful responses we saw for that debate, we wish to examine another certain Triforce wielder, the one who acts as the namesake for the entire Zelda series. Princess Zelda no doubt serves an active role throughout the games, but some versions of this heroine are more defined than others. With the many different renditions of Zelda’s character we’ve seen, it’s now time to decide which one was the absolute best…

Skyloft is probably one of the best hub towns I’ve ever visited in any game. It’s a happy yet bustling community nestled atop a handful of boulders floating over the clouds, where players are free to mingle with the locals and explore the island’s countless secrets.

In many ways Skyloft is a beautifully crafted environment, but it is also home to abusive relationships, mishandled portrayals of human interactions, and some negative messages for players. There’s a lot of ground to cover here, but let’s get the most obvious bad signal Skyward Sword sends players out of the way first…

Obviously, rescuing Princess Zelda is your mandate in most Zelda games, with the exception of a few titles. The Zelda series was founded on this rescue mission, ever since its humble beginnings on the NES. Should you be rescuing the princess in Zelda U?

True to the title The Legend of Zelda, Princess Zelda has to be present in the game at some point, even if she is not a princess, like in Skyward Sword. Even still, there are endless missions that Link could be on in the land of Hyrule…
