The folks over at IGN have released their special Zelda Spoilercast where they talk entirely about the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The crew at IGN talks pretty extensively about the storyline, changes to the timeline, the games ending, and much more. If it isn’t clear enough, this podcast will completely spoil the storyline for you. After talking initially about the story, the crew takes live calls from fans. It’s a pretty good listen for any Zelda fan. These particular…

The January issue of Game Informer features an interview with Eiji Aonuma and Koji Kondo. They talk about the potential addition of voice acting in future Zelda games as well as the direction the series is heading. Clearly the option for voice acting seems to be on the table and the two acknowledge that. Aonuma even related it to orchestrated music, how there seemed to be a resistance to that initially, but now it’s been a great addition to the…

The folks at IGN have decided to take a look at the various pros and cons of including voice acting in video games. Of course one cannot bring up the subject of voice acting in games without thinking of Legend of Zelda. The Legend of Zelda is one of the last great holdouts due to Nintendo’s reluctance to make a fully voiced sequel to the series. With the recent release of Skyward Sword it is again asked why does Link…

Should voice acting be incorporated into the Legend of Zelda series? Scott Clarke from IGN wants to know what you think. Throughout the series, characters have communicated via text boxes. Anyone who has played the games more than once knows that this can become frustrating. There aren’t many ways to speed up the text and if you accidentally hit the wrong option, like during Kaepora Gaebora’s (owl from Ocarina of Time) speeches, you are forced to read the whole thing…

During my hands on with Ocarina of Time 3D over a week ago, I got to meet with several Nintendo of America representatives. One of these gentlemen was Dan Owsen, a longtime member of the Nintendo team. He started with the company all the way back in the late 80’s and has worked with Nintendo Power Magazine, on various Nintendo Player’s Guide, as a localization manager, and in the late 90’s he ran Ask Dan, a question and answer section…

With our forums ever-increasing in size and activity with each passing month, there are tons upon tons of new and interesting topics circulating each and every day. This week we will be featuring one of those topics, and it concerns the Zelda series in general. This week’s featured thread is What Changes to the Series Would Ruin Zelda for You? Over the years people have always voiced their opinions about what they don’t want to see in a Zelda game,…

I’m back guys! Sorry for the wait before getting a new video from me. There was all that E3 and Skyward Sword stuff, plus there was a lot of news on Zelda Dungeon about it all, so I had to hold off until now to made a video about it. This video is basically my impressions about the game and everything we know about it. I do a little bit of going over all the facts and details that have…

Alright, this is it! Tomorrow is E3! As far as Zelda Wii goes, we’ll finally get to find out if some of our theories are correct and if we’re getting what we want. So, while there’s no Curiosity Shop this week, I wanted to make this special video. I’ve made an assortment of 6 predictions about Zelda Wii. This is stuff I’m so certain of that I’d be willing to bet at least 4 of them will be true, if…

Well dang, guys! E3’s less than a week away. Only a few days really! Another video, sort of related. This one doesn’t actually specifically talk about Zelda Wii, but rather some things that have been suggested for the Zelda series that a lot of people have been talking about. Some of them have talked about them in Zelda Wii (as is inevitable when discussing future ideas). It seemed appropriate for me to go over them. Some of these are ideas…
