Good afternoon my Zelda friends, and welcome to another Flute Boy’s Meadow! As I said last week, from now on this music feature is going to be looking at original compositions from Zelda games, breaking them down a bit and basically just looking at them in a way that we usually don’t bother to. Last week I went old-school with the classic Dark World theme from A Link to the Past, so for this week’s feature I thought I’d move…

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on Deviantart artist Cojirou’s Wind Waker fanart, ‘The Recording of the History of Hyrule‘. In this fanart it shows the what took place during the painting of the famous portrait of Princess Zelda and her couriers that is shown in the underwater Hyrule Castle. The artist in the picture is trying to situate the subjects of the painting in a pose that he will use to model the painting after. Apparently the possible ancestor of…

Today’s Zelda Fanart Spotlight is on Deviantart artist HyLian-Of-Ooo‘s fanart, “Lost in the Twilight”. In this fanart it shows Link as Wolf Link and Midna as they are traversing through the Twilight that is covering Hyrule. The colors the artist uses in this piece fit the atmosphere that is shown in these areas perfectly. Link and Midna are greatly dwarfed by the trees surrounding them. There is a bright light seen in the distance and they both are looking in…

Princess Zelda, whose name lies in the title of the game franchise that centers around Link’s heroics, has always been portrayed as your classic damsel in distress. Nintendo has shown a willingness to deviate from the beaten path when Spirit Tracks made Zelda Link’s anxious, pre-teen companion. She was along for the ride in the form of a maneuverable Phantom and played a much more important role than in previous games. The thing to note here is that she engaged…

Here’s another Zelda Fanart Spotlight and today we are looking at deviantart artist thaliesen and his piece of artwork that features Hyrule Castle from Twilight Princess. The artist used traditional mediums to create this piece of art. This piece perfectly captures the epicness one feels when getting to see Hyrule Castle up close for the first time in the game. It is a beautiful piece of artwork and it’s amazing how to see how he created the light and dark…

…and we’re done for the night, thanks for watching! The end is in sight for Twilight Princess. Tonight I’ll be making my way through the labyrinth that is City in the Sky, tackling the Twilight Palace, and wrapping up tonight with a stab to Ganondorf’s chest. Do join me when the action starts around 8pm ET, over at our Twitch.tv Page! Embedded video below, but if you want to chat, you need to click through to our channel. Be sure…

Ganondorf is the iconic villain of Zelda, the one man we all love to hate. His appearances in three of the most critical titles of Zelda canon – Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess – have cemented his status not only as the most iconic villain, but also as the perennial, most influential one. His influence can be felt essentially everywhere in the Zelda series, from the seemingly unimportant Four Swords Saga to the original NES titles….

When theories of the timeline and how each game connected were getting more and more confusing, Nintendo decided to clear up much of this and released the official Hyrule Historia book. With it’s release not only have our questions of the timeline been answered, but with each passing day more of the pages are being translated and it seems we are still learning new answers to mysteries that have gone unsolved for years. Last night a Zelda Universe forum member,…

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is due for a November 20th, 2011 release date here in the United States [release dates elsewhere being Nov 23 and Nov 18]. From an experienced Zelda player’s standpoint, it is shaping up to be the next Ocarina of Time or A Link to the Past in form and stature. It is known to have a full-fledged upgrade system, massive overworlds which appear to have the capability to stage out-of-dungeon boss fights, and characters…

The Zelda series has undergone numerous changes throughout its history. As it has advanced, it’s naturally undergone a “streamlining” process, making it more accessible to new players. While this in itself is not bad, it has led to some trends that, when misused, have had detrimental results. The series started out with perfect pacing. In the original Legend of Zelda, the speed of the game was largely determined by the player. It wouldn’t stop for cutscenes, so gameplay was a…
