Hey guys! New mailbag! Got a fair number of broad questions this time, covering wider topics relating to the series in general, but we’ve also got a pair of A Link to the Past questions this time, which is cool because we don’t see that a ton. Two Skyward Sword questions as well. And one that seems inspired by a joke I made on the Halloween mailbag! 11 questions in all. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or check…

New video discussion! This one’s about “transportation” overworlds in Zelda games (as I call them), the kind that has appeared in The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Skyward Sword. The discussion is basically about why we’ve been seeing them so much, and how Nintendo hasn’t done many other kinds of overworlds in a while. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or check out the embed after the jump. I’ve never been a fan of this type of…

My username is Axle the Beast, so it honestly shouldn’t be all that difficult to figure out that I have a thing for monsters. I’ve loved creatures of all shapes and sizes since before I can remember. I spent a portion of October reviewing them on my website, and before that I wrote an article similar to this one, counting town my top 10 Resident Evil monsters. With Zelda, choosing my favorites was harder because what defines a good monster…

Demise’s speech at the end of Skyward Sword was a significant moment for Zelda theorists and timeline enthusiasts, giving us a lot of insight into other aspects of the series (for better or for worse). However, as some fans have shown recently, what we read in the game might not have been entirely accurate. When games are localized, lots of statements are changed for various reasons, often just so they’ll sound better or be more identifiable. Sometimes, however, interesting details…

Hey there guys! Got a new mailbag for you! Sorry for the delay again. I actually got sick. Either way, it’s here now. This mailbag covers a wide array of topics over 12 questions, including a few familiar topics like voice-acting, difficulty, and Twilight Princess. I’m going to start having a very specific question I ask you guys to give your answers to in particular every episode… or rather just making it more official. Enjoy! You can watch the video…

A Link to the Past arguably had the best opening sequence not just of any Zelda game, but of any video game. It introduces the player to the controls, the lore, the world, and the level design, and does so seamlessly while pushing Link forward through a rapidly-progressing story. Several pivotal things happen in succession, but they all make sense and set the tone for what’s to come. It’s the fastest-moving section of the game, and not only did it…

Hey there guys! Final mailbag before the changes with #100. Look forward to the mailbag next week, because it’s going to be a special one! Anyway, this week we have a total of 13 questions, with a particular focus on Majora’s Mask, though there’s also a handful of timeline ones and Link keeps getting brought up. You can watch the video here or check out the embed after the jump. Questions and timestamps: (00:11) – Which incarnation of Link do…

Hey there guys! Mailbag’s up and on time this week! Also, last chance to enter the mailbag intro contest before it ends! The rules can be found here. Anyway, for this mailbag we have a number of future Zelda game questions alongside several about Demise, Ganondorf, and items. 12 questions in all. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or check out the embed after the jump. Questions and timestamps: (00:39) – What’s your favorite dungeon in Skyward Sword, and…

The idea of a film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda series has been tossed around numerous times throughout the years, though to date no official adaptation has been produced, and many fan-based adaptations have been met with mixed reactions. To many, the idea of a Zelda film is very foreign, as the core tenets of the Zelda series do not lend themselves well to the cinema upon first glance. Looking closer, however, there are a number of interesting parallels…

Hey there guys! Sorry about last week, what with there being no mailbag. As a result of that, our intro contest is being extended (click for rules), but for now we’ve got a new mailbag! This one’s mostly about the Wii U, future Zelda ideas, and just Zelda in general. 11 questions in all. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or check out the embed after the jump. Questions and timestamps: (00:21) – Which do you prefer, the Boomerang…
