Welcome back to the Voidcast! After an extended break, the first episode of 2015 is delving into the world of sequels, time, and continuity. The Zelda series is no stranger to time travel and connections between games. But while many games have used characters, locations and other such elements as subtle ways of referencing previous series entries, rarely to games deliberately and directly connect to the plots and events of past adventures. How might a future Zelda title connect to…

Queen Gohma is a famous Zelda boss. Her first main appearance in Ocarina of Time led to a similar boss in Twilight Princess called Armoghoma. Even though Queen Gohma is an enemy, that doesn’t stop people from creating fantastic pieces of artwork inspired by her! Jump in to read more!

Hello readers! Brian here with the fifteenth edition of “The Best and Worst of Zelda.” This week we’ll be continuing where we left off last week! Don’t forget to comment your ideas for future topics below! Musical instruments have become not only helpful items, but thematic staples in the plot of a Zeelda game. This, I believe, begins in Ocarina of Time and carries through many future games in the series. As we had made it through every game up…

Development times for high profile video games –particularly Zelda games- are typically measured in years, but remakes, like the recently-released The Wind Waker HD, tend to be an exception.

Ever since Ocarina of Time, where it’s importance to the plot is made obvious rather early on, the idea of traveling to a different era has…

Majora’s Mask is unquestionably a classic. It was released more than a decade ago on a console that’s now firmly cemented in people’s memories. It was the sequel to one of Nintendo’s greatest success stories, and it has been hailed by the fanbase as one of the greatest titles in its series — praise that’s not unwarranted considering its quality. Considering its age and status, and the fact that it was only the eighth Zelda game ever released in what…

Time is concept that is very common within the Legend of Zelda series; with 16 installments over 27 years, the series has brought us a total of six games which have used the idea of time in some manner. Time has also played a factor in the grand scheme of Zelda in the form of the timeline itself. Ocarina of Time has three alternate outcomes — two of which were a consequence of Princess Zelda sending Link back in time…

Hello Zelda Dungeoners! As promised last week, this week’s Ocarina Time is on the “Stone Tower Temple Theme” from Majora’s Mask. Jump on in to learn more ocarina goodness!

I’ve mentioned numerous times while I’ve worked on Zelda Dungeon that I never really found the ReDeads scary in Ocarina of Time. Or… anything at all scary in Ocarina of Time, actually. Things like the ReDeads and the Shadow Temple both provided too familiar and cliched of ideas without enough suspense and danger to make me feel scared.
