In games like Ocarina of Time, designating a specific element to each dungeon made perfect sense because each corresponded to a Sage of said element. In many Zelda games a similar pattern is followed, either by having the player collect element specific items within the temples or placing them in provinces that bear the same elemental traits as the dungeon residing in it. This made receiving and using specific weapons in each temple viable, but with a new age of…

Hello, fellow Zelda Dungeoners, and welcome again to Zelda Artist Exposition! This little feature series aims to bring great artists from the Zelda fan artwork community to greater recognition.

The Master Sword is one of the most iconic items from the Zelda series. Also known as the Blade of Evil’s Bane, it has appeared in numerous games, and a few of these games have given backstories for the blade’s creation. Much like other things in the Zelda series, when these backstories are considered in the continuity of the series, they can be a bit conflicting. The most conflicting aspect is the role that the Seven Sages played in its…

Well, my exams are over now, so I’m free to continue writing! Before you read the rest of this editorial, I must warn you, it is going to be similar to Axle the Beast’s recent editorial, but I assure you, I was planning this for a week or two before his editorial was published, and because I couldn’t write it until now, well… yeah. Though, this editorial will be different because I’ll be talking about some other things that I’ve…

Among the information we have about the story of A Link Between worlds, we know that the clown-like villain Yuga is capturing Sages and turning them into paintings, presumably whining when confronted by Link about how no one understands his art. We’ve seen all seven Sages, and we know they retain their elemental affiliations. But who are some of these people? There’s the obvious ones, of course. The Leader of the Sages is Zelda. The Shadow Sage is Impa. The…

I already wrote in my last Favorite Zelda Moments editorial — where I discussed the flooded Hyrule — about how I feel The Wind Waker managed better epic presentation and cooler storytelling than most other Zelda games, including Twilight Princess, which is usually the game you’d see praised for cinematic presentation.
