The Results are in! And the winner of Zelda Dungeon’s 2024 Musical March Madness is none other than: Colgera’s Theme from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! Its first time appearing in Musical March Madness after the release of Tears of the Kingdom last year, it is clearly the most popular song from the game (as far as this competition is concerned). Thank you to everyone who voted, discussed, and followed along! Join us again later in the…

It’s a logical leap for a franchise known for its intricate puzzles to have a series of complementary jigsaws. As someone who always has a puzzle on the table as a work-in-progress, I will eventually run out of Zelda-themed ones. Gorgeous designs from The OP Games/USAopoly, Winning Moves, and Ravensburger are only several makers known for making Zelda puzzle — this doesn’t even include the vast sea of fan-made jig-saws. Last year, USAopoly gave fans a stunning 1,000-piece Tears of…

Tears of the Kingdom’s dungeons weren’t always the versions players experience now. Considering the game’s scope, that statement probably isn’t surprising. But what if we were to tell you that early builds of Tears of the Kingdom’s dungeons persist in the game’s code, or that one existent early build of a temple is totally different from what was used in the final game? Dataminers in the “TotK Data Collection and Research” Discord server found these unused builds and have successfully…

The Zelda fandom has countless theories about the series’ games, with stories bolstering conversations all over the web these days. One thing I love about my favorite series of all time is the fact that the developers often leave side details or elements in these games ambiguous. Many story points are often hinted at or implied, but not directly shown on screen, leaving fans with opportunities to theorize potential answers. One such story point that always provides me with scintillating…

Since the Super Smash Bros. series started back in 1999 on the N64, The Legend of Zelda has been an integral part of the games. In the subsequent installments on every Nintendo console generation since then (plus the 3DS handheld), additions of various forms paying tribute to The Legend of Zelda saga have been integrated to widen and deepen the experience of fans. Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube saw the inclusion of three more fighters with the combo…

With the future of the Zelda series looking to be more open-world oriented, I feel slightly sobered at the idea that we might not get such versatile swordplay like we did in past entries in the series. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to use a plethora of weapons to best baddies in Tears of the Kingdom. However, one of the best combat systems in the series to me is still Twilight Princess’, because of the Hidden Skill…

The music of the Zelda franchise is truly iconic. The majesty captured and atmosphere created in the notes of every piece are second to none. The music this franchise has to offer can often stand on its own, without the need of a game. That being said, though, there is no other place that perfectly encompasses the beauty of Zelda‘s music than the fan community. Dedicated fans have been creating mixes of the music since the franchise’s inception, and the quality seems…

Welcome to another episode of the show, where this week, we have the honor of closing out Zelda Dungeon’s Four Swords Week celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the single most unheralded Zelda game of them all: Four Swords Adventures! Andy and Al recount their memories of the game from the time it was first announced, to the first time they played together at the Zelda Dungeon Marathon, and reflect on the things that held it  back from being a huge…

Director Wes Ball recently shared some of his thoughts about his vision for the upcoming Zelda movie in a new interview with magazine Total Film, as reported by Gamesradar. “I have this awesome idea,” Ball tells Total Film in our new issue out on Thursday March 28, which features The Fall Guy on the cover. “I’ve been thinking about it for a long freakin’ time, of how cool a Zelda movie would be… I want to fulfil people’s greatest desires. I know it’s important, this…

The dungeons in the original The Legend of Zelda feel all kinds of mysterious when you first enter them as Link, and part of that is thanks to the Dungeon theme. Entering a dark chamber filled with who knows what manner of danger is the feeling you get, especially when listening to musician Sven Djorsing’s rendition of this score. What makes his version of the tune different is in the variations of the main instrument he knows how to use,…

Four Swords Adventures is, in a word, bizarre (in the best of ways). Each underrated Zelda game has its own set of anomalies that make it stand out from the rest of the series and Four Swords Adventures is no exception. Its increasing inaccessibility to players only adds to this mystique — and most emulations can’t replicate the experience of playing it on a fuzzy, old TV, clutching a chunky GameCube controller or Game Boy Advance. Four Swords Adventures’ eccentricities…
