Ever since 2009, gamers have been eagerly waiting for the next Super Smash Bros. title. Now, with Nintendo’s E3 announcement regarding the next game, people have been hyped more now than ever. But one question remains: who will the playable characters be? We can assume that all of our normal heroes and villains will be [...]

Many people say that all of the best of the best Zelda games came out on the Nintendo 64 console with the release of Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. A great many people count both Ocarina of Time as their favorite game, while quite a few would say Majora’s Mask is, like myself. It [...]

The Magic Meter was one of the staples of the Zelda franchise, the icing on a beautifully, appetizing multi-layered cake. It seems that with recent console installments, Nintendo has been trying to do away with this classic mechanic and replace it with other depleting meters like the Stamina Meter.

This has been clear since Zelda II’s release. It’s hard to imagine a more different approach. Had internet use been mainstream [...]

Hey there guys! New video discussion. I want to talk about an observation I recently made regarding the series, which is that I think it’s rather flawed. This isn’t a hate video though; I think Zelda is a great series, and that’s the point of this video. The series is flawed, but great anyway, and [...]

Got a lot of broad questions this time, with few that relate to any one game exclusively. 13 questions in all. [...]

Hyrule is a land of fantasy where the outright improbable is allowed to flourish in medieval glory and the result of the boundless creativity of a group of Japanese game designers. The Legend of Zelda franchise has produced some fantastic venues over the past twenty-six years due to its fictional setting, giving it great flexibility [...]

Since Ocarina of Time, the only Zelda game we’ve seen that featured no real transportation for Link was The Minish Cap. Every other game has at least offered some form of it, at least temporarily. Often, it’s been a domineering, essential component of the game, offering little choice to the player about how and when [...]
