A Link to the Past is one of those games that never really gets old. Despite being released over 30 years ago, it’s still considered one of the greatest installments in a series full of innovative masterpieces. It has brilliant pixel art, introduces several groundbreaking mechanics, and establishes the classic formula that Zelda titles would stick to for decades. But, predictably, my favorite…
Wes Ball has a daunting task ahead of him as he prepares to direct the live action Legend of Zelda movie. In addition to all of the rigors that come with helming a big budget blockbuster, he also has to win over a fanbase that is very unsure about the project. A Legend of Zelda movie was long thought to be an impossibility, the medium seen as incapable of capturing the same magic and scope that…
Last month Felix from the Nintendo Life YouTube channel started a let’s play of one of the most memorable entries in the Zelda series. Majora’s Mask was released for the Nintendo 64 in October 2000, a mere two years after the classic Ocarina of Time was released. While fans immediately noticed a large number of game assets in the direct sequel to Ocarina of Time, gaming journalism was at its…
It’s time to get hyped like it’s May 2023 all over again. On Friday May 10, two mere days before the game’s one year anniversary, The Legend of Zelda’s official Japanese X account shadow dropped another upcoming concept art book for Tears of the Kingdom called “Master Works.” It will be co-published by Tokuma Shoten and is set to release in Japan this year on August 30th, 2024. But on closer…

However, beyond his sword skills and heroic deeds, Link has also showcased remarkable musical talent throughout the series. From playing magical instruments to conducting, Link’s musical abilities add depth to his character and enhance the storytelling of the games. Join us as we explore…
I am a Zelda collector. My collection over the years has grown in a nonlinear way and has been generously fed by the likes of friends and family. My favorite place to nab items is from eBay, and more recently a Facebook Zelda Marketplace, where individuals like me sell pieces of their collection. Once in a while, I find myself contacting an overseas seller via Instagram who is elusive, yet…
Hey, look! Listen! If you missed out on BlackMilk’s award-winning line of Legend of Zelda apparel, we have good news for you. The Australian clothing company announced last week that it’s revealing a brand new “sequel” of Zelda themed apparel. Some pieces have returned since the first time, but most pieces are as fresh as a Hyrulean sunrise. They feature exciting patterns and official art based…
Thanks to the power of technology, new inventions and implementations are always at the forefront and pioneering the future. And sometimes, technology allows us to take the rare opportunity to step back in time. One such example is how certain “archivists” are able to re-create older toy collections from years prior. An “archivist” is a person that assembles, catalogues, preserves and manages…
In the wake of Wes Ball’s movie Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes releasing in theaters next week, the Zelda movie director assured fans that he vows the live action movie will feel “grounded and real,” according to an interview with Polygon. (And it’s a safe bet there probably won’t be any trains involved, either.) While Ball stated he couldn’t say much before “Nintendo will pop out of the…
Tears of the Kingdom is arguably a technical success for developers by leaps and bounds. Many of the elements that were included in the game are nothing short of a technical marvel. Developers are in awe by how much the Zelda team has accomplished with this game, with many saying that achieving such success in such a “short” period of time is uncanny. While it may not be apparent to some, to the…
The bird folk of Dragon Roost Island used to be one of the Zelda Series’ least represented races due to the fact that they only properly appeared in The Wind Waker prior to the release of Breath of the Wild. However, the world of Hyrule in Breath of the Wild saw the inclusion of Rito Village which introduced many new Rito characters to the world of Zelda. The world of the Rito was only expanded…
Fires burn a myriad of colors in the center of Lon Lon Ranch. A joyful tune with a hot beat sends a rhythm to all those around, lifting up their dancing feet. From the hidden forest of the Kokiri to the scorching deserts of Gerudo, everyone has come together to celebrate a new era of Hyrule. Even those who’d rather be asleep at home. However, it is not all sunshine and rainbows for everyone. To…
The Legend of Zelda series is renowned for its engaging side quests that offer additional challenges and rewards beyond the main storyline. These optional tasks and missions lead to unique items, encourage you to explore all corners of Hyrule, introduce you to plenty of NPCs that you may otherwise never run into, and often tell compelling stories of every day life within the game world. Here are…
This past week the Nintendo Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto X (formerly Twitter) account posted a surprise for Zelda fans with a whole new set of Tears of the Kingdom merchandise that any fan of the series would want. The new set of Zelda collectors items includes various forms of clothing, key chains, Secret Stone ornaments, Glyph computer decals, a nice tie for formal events, and even a Zonai wing floor mat.…
Ever since 2009 and the short-lived acapella singing competition show The Sing-Off, my wife and I have been amazed by the skills of acapella musicians. The astounding sounds they can produce and the way they work to weave them together to make melodies is nothing short of a beautiful, musical jigsaw puzzle. The S.N.O.T. Chamber Orchestra’s “Zelda Medley” from Ariel, Zoe, and Eli combines this…
