Just a few days ago we heard the saddening news that President and CEO of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata had passed away at the age of 55. This news came as a shock to many of us even though we knew he had been battling a bile duct growth for quite some time, it had seemed as if his health had improved. His life has ended too soon and he leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered fondly by those…

Most of the time when a  new Zelda game is released, we get an exciting and fresh experience. Ganondorf is the main antagonist of the Zelda universe and is featured in almost all the Zelda games. While he does look different most of the time, sometimes we can find him to be a bit of a stale character. Now us fans aren’t sick of him, the Zelda franchise wouldn’t be the same without him, but sometimes we need a bit of…

Today was the day that most of us Zelda fans have been waiting for, Nintendo’s E3 2015 Digital Event. As we had all learned awhile back we were not given any new details about Zelda Wii U except for a comment from Miyamoto in an interview with IGN about what we can expect to see in the future;  “We’re here to talk about Star Fox but Zelda is still coming to Wii U. My thing with E3 is that we…

 The puzzles we get to solve in the Legend of Zelda franchise are unlike any puzzles we have ever seen. From the start of the game, all the way up until the very end these puzzles get progressively harder. Puzzles are there to make dungeons harder. They add a lot of challenge to what would normally be a simple task. Seeing a block right in front of an otherwise unreachable ledge wouldn’t be any fun, would it? Wouldn’t you rather have…

As with many things that have to do with The Legend of Zelda franchise, we can spend quite a bit of time talking about Dungeons! There are many reasons fans become hooked on the Zelda series, whether it is the lore that inspires you, the characters, or the gameplay, there are many things that keep us coming back time and time again. It is all a part of a fantastic little puzzle that began long ago, and dungeons are an…

A couple weeks now after the re-release of the Link To The Past manga and now that we have had a chance to read it, some members of the Zelda Dungeon are ready to voice their opinions on the topic. The comic hasn’t been around in large numbers since the early 90’s, and now is a better time than ever for the younger or new fans of the series to get a good read out of it. In this week’s…

Zelda, Link and Ganondorf are unarguably the most iconic characters in the Zelda franchise. In order to keep the Zelda formula, you need a hero, a princess and a villian. Nintendo have strayed away from this formula a few times and nobody complained. It may seem a bit odd to not include Zelda in a Zelda game but they always have the hero, Link. Honestly, when you hear someone mention any Zelda game, you will most likely imagine a guy…

With so many games that are strongly centered around multiplayer and many that have some multiplayer elements to them, is there room for one more? The Legend of Zelda series has continuously shied away from giving you the ability to play multiplayer, whether that be locally or online. The closest the Zelda series has come to a traditional multiplayer was in Four Swords, and that just might be pushing it. Ultimately is there a reason that the series has never…

As of now, there have been seventeen Zelda games released (not including remakes). Out of these sixteen, most people have just one that has stood out of the crowd and become their favorite. The question is today however, if you could change anything in your favorite Zelda game, what would it be? Would it be story related or graphics related, possibly in the form of a remake? In this week’s Zelda Dungeon Talks, various staff members will share what they think…

One would think that the Master Sword as a weapon is the end-all-be-all of power, but this isn’t the case. In certain Zelda games there are additional swords that Link can acquire which deal more damage, without all of the sacred significance. In other games the Master Sword needs to be powered up throughout, meaning Link still has to scour Hyrule for the materials needed to forge a stronger blade. This begs the question, does the option to use other…
