Depending on which Zelda title you’re playing, you may or may not get the chance to meditate on a given boss name while your main focus is on feeling out their weak spots to bring them down. Until Ocarina of Time, bosses presented themselves unannounced, so you wouldn’t know them by name unless you read supplemental materials or used a guide. From then on, whether or not you get to see the boss name for a fight tends to divide…

Music is an essential aspect of video games. Much like a movie’s soundtrack, good video game music enhances the player experience. It lets us know if a dilapidated building is supposed to be sad or spooky.  The Legend of Zelda series is certainly no exception. There’s everything from sweeping ballads to quiet, contemplative pieces that provide just the right amount of atmosphere. What sets the Zelda series apart is that Link often plays an instrument that serves some kind of purpose…

At the end of every year, the amazing team here at ZD comes together to rank every single Zelda title from worst to best. The task is never easy, but this year’s ranking proved particularly challenging due to some major shakeups. Not only did we, as we always do, see new…

With Halloween right around the corner, Zelda fans will no doubt have a beautiful bounty of expertly crafted Zelda character cosplays to marvel at. I myself have put together some not-so-expertly crafted Zelda costumes to wear for Halloween over the years. But for the busy and craft-impaired, buying a Zelda costume is a much easier option. The only problem is, while Nintendo may license the most famous Zelda characters’ likeness for third party costume companies to recreate, more obscure character…

The Zelda series is no stranger to spooky and borderline disturbing moments, many of which are accompanied by equally as hair-raising music. Picking which creepy tune would make the best horror movie theme is no easy task, but after careful consideration it turns out a lesser known track from the series was the perfect fit.  The best song is going to depend on which style of horror movie it’s being matched to, as there are many out there to consider,…

I think there are few songs that are as synonymous with Zelda as “Great Fairy’s Fountain.” This track can be heard in many Zelda games, including to A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, and more. It’s evolved significantly over the years, with each version incorporating different instruments and even vocals to give it new life and personality. This song is often associated with the Great Fairy…

Another spin around the sun has come and went, and with it, the latest installment of Zelda Dungeon’s proudest yearly tradition: Best. Zelda. Ever! 2022 marked the first year in quite some time where we had no real Zelda activity. No new games were released, no new projects were announced, it was… quiet. Although we got a title for the long-awaited sequel to Breath of the Wild, 2022 seemed like a year that could best be described as the calm…
