However, there are a couple of redeeming qualities to the game. One that I find incredibly interesting is Ghirahim. Hit the jump to take a look back at him.

The announcement of a new Zelda game holds the potential to shock, surprise, underwhelm and alienate -sometimes all at once. Earlier this month, Nintendo’s E3 event injected the Zelda fandom with a healthy dose of excitement.

Now, with the dust kicked up by E3 finally settled, we can fairly judge whether Zelda Wii U…

Leading up to E3, the latest episode of the GT Countdown over at GameTrailers lists their top 10 biggest train wrecks they remember from E3’s past, and hard as it is to admit, Zelda has not escaped the list. Skyward Sword‘s horrendous control demonstration took the number one spot. Watch the video after the jump.

When I was coming to terms with the full potential of the Tingle Bottle — I think somewhere between Dragon Roost Island and Forest Haven — I had myself a nice thought. Here’s how it came about.

Tingle Bottles are a wonderful invention that has evoked the sense of a sailing adventurer while harnessing our ability to communicate “overseas”. While breathing in the rolling waves and the spewing lava of Fire Mountain — knowing that one day I’d freeze it and access the treasure within — I decided to send out a few bottles. Some scribbles, some regular photographs, some selfies. And then I thought to myself: what would happen if I sent out Tingle Bottles asking

Zelda fans for article ideas? Here’s what I typed.

The new Zelda title to be released for Wii U is somewhat shrouded in mystery. Although very little is known if the upcoming game, it has been said to change the way we as fans see the Zelda formula.

As one of the oldest, and arguably greatest, video game franchises around, it isn’t uncommon to see Zelda titles make lists of personal favorite games of all time. When famous game designer Peter Molyneux, the man behind the Fable series, was asked to list his top five favorite games recently, one Zelda game made the list.

With The Wind Waker HD right around the corner, Wii U owners are being forced to make a difficult decision: should I download the game, or buy the disc? It’s a tough one, because each version of the game has its merits and drawbacks. It’s nice to have a physical copy, but those can be easily damaged or lost. But the digital copies aren’t portable, and they take up valuable storage space! So maybe the size of this game’s download…
