Hey guys and welcome to the latest edition of Gossip Stone! Recently I finished replaying the game that started it all (thank you virtual console) The Legend of Zelda. This game started one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time and we can more than likely expect to the series sticking around for a lot longer. Anyway finishing this game again got me thinking, what would a remake of this game be like? Is it even worth it? So…

Hello everybody and welcome to this week’s edition of Zelda Dungeon Talks! In the Legend Of Zelda series, the overworld plays a pretty important role, especially in the original and Zelda II. It usually acts as the main hub to get to all the different parts of Hyrule, but it sometimes has it’s own significant purpose (for example it holds all the statues you need to find in Twilight Princess) as well as a few small secrets here and there. But…

We all make mistakes, it’s only human, but some mistakes are far less forgivable than others. In a recent advertisement run by Nintendo for The Wind Waker HD, there was quite a big one!

And let me tell you, when I first played Skyward Sword that was the impression I got too: It’s so much higher quality. It would be a mistake in…

Its rather simple in design, but it contains extremely exciting battles featuring the Wonderful 100, a band of heroes on a mission to wipe the invaders out of Blossom City.

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. This week I’d like to discuss a few more related moments: The meetings with the deceased Sages of Hyrule. Now, The Wind Waker is usually considered a pretty cartoony…

Gameplay is without a doubt the most important feature of a Zelda game. Nearly every release has emphasized it over every other aspect — with the exception of Twilight Princess, which was designed to be a more cinematic experience — and rightfully so. Gameplay is the main feature of video games in general. The interactivity video games provide is something that no other visual medium can hope to recreate, making it an important factor in any video game, even if…
