One piece of exciting news for Zelda fans from the recent Nintendo Direct was the announcement of GameCube games coming to the Switch 2 as part of Nintendo Classics (formerly Nintendo Switch Online). The Wind Waker was featured as one of the games in the initial batch; however, no other Zelda games were mentioned. Zelda made five appearances on the GameCube including the aforementioned Wind Waker. Will we see the other four? Twilight Princess is by far the most well-known…

The Minish Cap’s Wind Tribe’s existence didn’t begin in the sky. Its people lived on the land before turning their sights skyward to protect the Wind Element. Those same folks then left Hyrule to live in the clouds high above the kingdom.  The Wind Tribe isn’t Zelda’s only sky-dwelling group, nor is it the first in the series’ timeline. It was, however, the first one to make an appearance in a Zelda game. I was awestruck when I played The…

While Nintendo fans didn’t get DS or 3DS games introduced to Nintendo Switch Online, they have gotten something arguably even more exciting. The newly renamed application, Nintendo Classics, will launch its GameCube library on the same day as the Switch 2’s release on June 5th, 2025. The Wind Waker is one of its first inclusions, with other GameCube Zelda titles like Twilight Princess and Four Swords Adventures being absent. While it isn’t the HD edition many had hoped for, fans can still…

It’s that time again! The annual tradition continues! Zelda Dungeon’s Best Zelda Ever ranking is back… already? A mere three months after our 2024 ranking, the Zelda Dungeon team has gathered together to once again rank the Legend of Zelda series from worst to best. We just couldn’t wait! But this year, things are looking a little… different. I’ve seen a few of these games in the ranking in past years, but so many have never been seen in a Best Zelda Ever…

The most famous multiplayer experiences in the Zelda series are in Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, and Tri Force Heroes. A recent replay of the original Four Swords had me thinking about what it would look like if four, colorful Links had ran to the edge of the Great Plateau and overlooked Hyrule like our solo hero did so famously eight years ago. When you think about it, the original Four Swords is linear in its progression but drops players in the level in a similar way to the…

Update: Dungeon Runners’ Timeless Marathon is live! The event will take place from February 21st  to 23rd on the Zelda Dungeon Twitch page. You can find the detailed schedule for the marathon here. Original: While only a little under six months old, the Dungeon Runners have hit ground, well, running! Covering marathons and interviewing runners, the team aims to bring a fresh new spin on the Zelda speedrunning community. It brings me great honor and pleasure to announce to you…

Alasyn is joined this week by The Zelda Cast producer Cal, and ZD YouTube extraordinaire Corey Richmond, and we decided that it was time to bring “Guess That Zelda Location” back from the grave!  A spin-off on the classic “Guess That Zelda Character”, this is Al’s favorite game to play whenever Andy is away.

As the main protagonist, Link has always had abilities designed to make saving Hyrule easier, and when I say abilities, I mean anything other than a weapon. These abilities come in many forms, whether the skill is learnt like the Bomb Rune, an item acquired such as Clawshots, or an accessory like the Korok Mask. These abilities have evolved as the Legend of Zelda franchise has progressed. The early Zelda games offered basic items like the Handy Glove in The…

When our Best Zelda Ever (BZE) list started in 2017, there were 18 games ranked by the staff. As of the 2023 Edition of BZE, the list had grown to 23 games thanks to new releases over the years – Cadence of Hyrule (2019), Age of Calamity (released in late 2020 and first appearing on the BZE list in 2021), and Tears of the Kingdom (2023). However, two games that were added to the 2019 BZE list weren’t new by…

It’s that time again! The annual tradition continues! Zelda Dungeon’s Best Zelda Ever ranking is back! Every year, the fantastic folks at ZD come together to rank every single Zelda title from worst to best. The task is arduous, and it isn’t always controversy-free, but the results are without exception something the team is truly proud of. This is the feature we look forward to all year long. The thing that makes Best Zelda Ever so special is how many different…
