Last night, at 10:04 PM Eastern Time, a burning question in the Zelda community was finally answered. According to a new update to the official Zelda history page on Nintendo’s Japanese website, the newest installment in the series, Echoes of Wisdom, takes place in the timeline where “The Hero is Defeated,” frequently referred to as the “Downfall,” “Decline,” or “Fallen Hero” timeline. The history page sees Echoes situated just after Tri Force Heroes and just before the “Decline of Hyrule Kingdom” that precedes…

The Game Boy Color’s Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons holds a special place in my heart. There’s an air of mystery about them that’s hard to describe. Developed by Capcom, Ages and Seasons are a cohesive pair that players can tackle in either order. Traveling through both Labrynna and Holodrum make for an unforgettable adventure. Though quirky at times (see Sokra, for example), the titles have that Zelda charm. A large part of this boils down to their…

It’s finally time! After its announcement in February of this year, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga collection by artist and writer duo Akira Himekawa is now available. All 11 volumes are included in this box set, as well as a collectible double-sided poster. This adaptation of one of the Zelda series’ most popular games was in production between 2016 and 2022. Fans can now have the complete set to add to their collection for $129.00 USD. The Legend…

Did you know that it has been almost 20 years since Tingle has graced our screens in a mainline Zelda game? First appearing as a map salesman in Majora’s Mask, Tingle quickly became a staple in the Zelda franchise throughout the early 2000s. He’d show up in Oracle of Ages, The Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures, and a slew of spin-offs. His final mainline Zelda appearance was in 2005’s The Minish Cap. Sure, he’s made cameos in other games, such…

This article contains spoilers for the following games: Link’s Awakening, Majora’s Mask, Oracle of Ages, Twilight Princess, A Link Between Worlds, Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom. It is recommended that you experience those stories as intended if you have not already. Proceed at your own risk. The Zelda franchise is one that has a history of diving headfirst into narratives that keep us on our toes. Although there are exceptions, the story teams over…

Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons have been on Nintendo Switch Online for a little more than a year. This means that the service’s install base of over 38 million (as of September 2023) has had some time to play the games. Sure, each Oracle game is a stand-alone experience but the only way to access the true ending of the games is to link the two. Once you complete the first title’s quest, you’re provided with a code…

Late nights at the Zelda Dungeon Marathon can yield some interesting conversations. About 30 minutes into an early morning run of A Link Between Worlds, we started talking at length about something that I think is worth further discussion: What Zelda dungeon name would also make a great name for a restaurant? We started to get pretty creative — including some “wrong answers only” responses — but I narrowed down my favorite three: Dodongo’s Cavern (Ocarina of Time): Read this as “Dodongo’s…

Earlier this year, I wrote a Daily Debate about why Princess Zelda needed her own spin-off game. Now, with the announcement and release of Echoes of Wisdom later this year, that wish is coming true. I’m beyond thrilled for this spin-off. Nintendo is very wisely reusing the assets from the Link’s Awakening remake to give this game a charming visual identity, and the echo ability is perfectly in line with Zelda’s character. As I watched the announcement, I excitedly began…

Beyond its own lineup of iconic franchises, Japanese game company Capcom is known for its collaborations with Nintendo on Zelda titles like Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Four Swords, and The Minish Cap. Who would’ve guessed that a prominent member of the modding scene would one day take a piece of this developer’s catalog and put it directly into a Nintendo 64 classic? That very thing happened recently, as modder Manikku announced on their X profile that The Legend of…
