Last week we shared with you a rumor of some possible details surrounding Twilight Princess HD and its amiibo functionality. The rumor came from a product listing on Amazon France, and discussed the functions that the Wolf Link and Zelda amiibo would unlock in the game, it also referenced a new dungeon that would be available in the HD version called, “The Twilight Cave”. Now we have some new details that have seemed to have emerged, although at this time…

Tri Force Heroes was a game that pretty much came out of nowhere. Many people had mixed feelings about the game, was it just something to keep us busy while Nintendo continued working on Zelda U? Most of us have played the game by now and I can say with honesty that I enjoyed the game. It was quite unusual in terms of the classic Zelda formula. Gameplay wise it played very similarly to Four Swords and Four Sword Adventures, although the game…

With the release of a demo on the Japanese eShop for Hyrule Warriors Legends recently we have see some information come across about how the game runs on a regular 3DS, but how does it fair on a New 3DS? since the launch of the upgraded machine there have been several new release games that have been clearly impacted in terms of their ability to run on the regular 3DS, and this just might be another one. Yesterday, we shared…

What if instead of a fairy, Link had a Pip-Boy? Or if, rather than hearing Koji Kondo’s arrangements, players were treated to Three Dogs’ Galaxy News Radio? The comedic minds over at Dorkly asked themselves the same questions and have turned their answers into a hilarious fifty second parody of A Link to the Past intertwined with Fallout tropes. With a little bit of lock-picking, targeted combat, and a classic Fallout drink, life in Hyrule sure has changed for Link….

Mini Boss encounters in the Zelda franchise are meant for two reasons: to indicate that you’re halfway through a dungeon, and to add to the enjoyment of the level. Youtubers Justin and Kev, who run the channel SuperRealProductions ranked the top 10 mini bosses based on fun factor, complexity, mechanics, and difficulty…

Alright, its not secret that the internet has a very, well, different opinion of Skyward Sword than most of us have. Complaints about shotty motion controls and long, arduous quest are just some of the arguments that lovers and haters of Zelda’s latest console installment use. And for the most part reviews like Game Grump’s Egoraptor have perpetuated the hate for Skyward Sword’s innovations. But Jirard Khalil, aka The Completionist, takes the internet to court in order to defend Skyward…

Despite the release of not only Hyrule Warriors DLC, but also a new handheld entry in Tri Force Heroes, 2015 was relatively low-key for Zelda. As Jon discussed a couple of days ago, the highlight — if you can call it that — was just how little we heard about Zelda Wii U. Based solely on what we know right now, though, 2016 looks to be the series’ biggest year since 2011. Considering that it’s the franchise’s 30th anniversary, as…

Are you still under the impression that the CDI games are the darkest part of Zelda’s history? Ok, they probably still are. But there are still a massive about of bootleg Zelda games out there that try to rival Zelda CDI for worse Zelda game (even though some of them are really good.) Spacehaster, a video game Youtuber who is also know for his affiliation with PeanutButterGamer as his editor and more recently his gaming partner in the series “PB…

One of my favorite aspects of Twilight Princess is its appreciation for context. Just about every locale has a unique story to tell; the dungeons, especially, stand apart from those of most other Zelda games. Rather than serve as generic holy sites, each dungeon goes a long way toward giving Hyrule a lived-in feel. City in the Sky highlights an ancient civilization, while Snowpeak Ruins makes the player feel like a guest in someone’s home. That said, not having all…

It would appear as if this was the week for The Legend of Zelda titles on the eShop! This week’s Wii U and 3DS eShop charts show that fans are really wanting to get their fill of Link, Zelda, and the rest of the gang. For the Wii U there are currently four Zelda titles on eShop charts Top 20, ranging between Ocarina of Time coming in at #6 to the Wind Waker HD rounding it out at #20. As…
