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…

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…

Earlier this weekend, Zelda Dungeon announced Fall Brawl: New Year’s Evil, a single-elimination tournament in which we’re inviting our audience to vote on their favorite Zelda characters. If you’ll allow me to shill: this tournament kicks off on January 1st and will conclude on January 10th. Until the start of the festivities, we invite everyone to submit their predictions on the tournament right here, for a chance to win some Nintendo eShop cash. We hope you’ll participate! Anyway, as you…

Better late than ever, right? Welcome to… Fall Brawl! Zelda Dungeon’s Fall Brawl Character Contest is back again for a sixth year… but this time, things are a little different. We know what you’re thinking: How are we supposed to celebrate “Fall” Brawl when autumn was over weeks ago. Well, I’d first like to point out that, according to the astrological calendar, autumn ends between December 20th and December 23rd, which means we’re very, very technically announcing this year’s tournament…

Happy Monday, Zelda fans. This week, we’ve got a breezy show that focuses on Okami’s return at The Game Awards and our thoughts on the state of Geoff Keighly’s show, what we thought the high points and low points for the Zelda franchise were in 2024, and what we can expect to see from the series in 2025 – everything from the debut of the Switch 2, possible casting news in the Zelda Movie, ports finally coming to Switch to…

Spoiler Alert: This article and the comments section may contain spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Speaking with animals is always a welcome delight in any Zelda game. From the quirks of Animal Village in Link’s Awakening to the mysterious edge of Hyrule Castle Town’s residents in Twilight Princess, the series has never shied away from making talking animals story drivers or sneaky surprises. In Echoes of Wisdom, cats are back in an adorable way. It reminds me of…

The term “black sheep” comes from the natural phenomenon that a sheep may be born with black wool instead of the typical white. The wool of a black sheep cannot be dyed as easily. Therefore, people valued the black wool less than the white wool. Eventually the phrase “black sheep” became an expression given to those who did not fit in amongst the flock. In more modern use, a black sheep is simply an oddity that does not fit in…

Breath of the Wild was featured in the inaugural set of games included in Nintendo’s Alarmo clock. In many ways, this was the obvious choice given the game’s popularity, recency, and inclusion of extensive voice acting. Princess Zelda’s bid of “Open your eyes” and “Wake up, Link!” are the perfect additions to an alarm clock featuring the Zelda series. Nintendo has vowed that more games are coming, which will undoubtedly focus on bringing in other franchises first – starting with…

Despite being greeted with a lukewarm fan reaction when it first came out, The Wind Waker has gone on to be one of the most beloved Zelda titles and its unique iteration of the hero in green has become a series staple. After The Wind Waker, “Toon Link” was on a roll for a while. Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Tri Force Heroes all feature an iteration of cartoon Link, either in gameplay or in official artwork,…

Happy fall season and happy Halloween! I just recently carved my own pumpkin, and I sat thinking about my design long and hard before making the first slice. I ended up choosing a non-Zelda theme because all my Zelda-related ideas were far too ambitious. It did get me thinking though, if I were to improve my skills, what images would I love to see lit up during the fall? I had considered a Triforce or Hylian Crest, because there aren’t that…
