I’ve mentioned before in past articles that I am an avid reader. And having just come down off an eight-book-series high-note, I needed something to bridge the gap between hobbies, because I was not ready to start reading something new. With reading off the table for a bit, I knew that I wanted to dive into a Zelda game that had been in my backlog for quite some time. It just so happened that, a while back, our writing team…

Today’s Nintendo Direct highlighting the Switch 2 was a treat for everyone, especially Zelda fans. Not only were we treated to updated Switch 2 versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but Nintendo announced a brand-new Hyrule Warriors game, entitled Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. The game is another collaboration between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo, taking us back in time to when Princess Zelda was transported to an older Hyrule, where she met Queen Sonia and…

Nintendo has a way of sneakily dropping a Direct on us when we least it expect it; late yesterday afternoon Nintendo announced a Nintendo Direct for this morning. There were not a ton of ground breaking announcements, which is not surprising with the Switch 2 Direct slated for next week; but what did you think of today’s Nintendo Direct? Personally, I was not expecting to see anything from today’s Direct. To use my husband’s words for it, he called it…

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all who celebrate! Many look at Saint Patrick’s Day as a day for luck and wearing green among other things, but today I want to look at those unlucky situations. We’ve all likely had Zelda gaming moments where we’ve gotten incredibly lucky and succeeded in finishing a boss with half a heart or even being able to cheese our way through a challenging puzzle; but what about the unlucky times though; those truly tragic gaming…

If you’re like me, you enjoy showcasing your passions and love for your favorite things in all aspects of your life. For many it might be a tattoo, others the apparel that they wear, the things they display in their homes, or even something as small as a ringtone. So that begs the question, how do you showcase your love for the Zelda series in your everyday life? Personally I own a few Zelda shirts, I have a set of…

Late last year, Nintendo revealed its interactive gaming-themed alarm clock dubbed Alarmo. Following its release, Alarmo had only been available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, but that exclusivity has finally lifted. Now, all gamers and Nintendo enthusiasts alike can “wake up in the world of Nintendo” because the interactive clock is available to order on the My Nintendo Store, with no Nintendo Switch Online subscription required. Nintendo Sound Clock: #Alarmo is now available on My Nintendo store, no Nintendo Switch…

Valentine’s Day is only a week away and it’s the time of year where many of us have love and romance on the mind. With romance on the mind it seemed like a great time to ask, who is your favorite love interest for Link? Romance and love in The Legend of Zelda have always been implied and hinted at. It has given fans of the series a lot of room to speculate who Link really holds feelings for. We…

Yesterday Nintendo dropped a teaser video revealing the highly anticipated Switch 2. The successor to the Nintendo Switch has been speculated upon, and talked about for the last year or so, but none so much as talk of ports for two Zelda games that are very near and dear to the fanbase. Since we are going to learn more about the Switch 2 come April that begs the question that has been asked for many years: will Nintendo finally port…

Everyone loves a good story. Whether that story is told visually through movies, television, and video games, or through the written word. One of my favorite hobbies, and the hobby I indulge in the most, is reading. Lately I have been enjoying reading larger fantasy series that encompass multiple books to tell one large story – think Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, or Throne of Glass. Upon starting a new series the other day it got me thinking,…

Happy New Year everyone! 2024 was another big year for the Zelda series with the one year anniversary of Tears of the Kingdom and the new release of Echoes of Wisdom. A new year brings new beginnings and often is a great time to play or replay a favorite game. So, what Zelda game will you be playing first this year? This year I’m hoping to replay The Wind Waker again, and to play a few Zelda games that I…
