A Zelda game isn’t complete without a banger soundtrack, and each game has yet to disappoint. There are hundreds of iconic songs throughout the series that can evoke so many different emotions and endless nostalgia. The “Song of Storms,” “Ballad of the Goddess,” “Midna’s Lament,” “Clock Town,” “Kakariko Village,” “Dragon Roost Island,” and so many more songs like these hold a special place in my heart! However, I do have a few favorites that don’t often make top tier lists…

It’s Valentine’s Day, and I’ll admit that I’m a sucker this particular date with all its romance and pomp. I love the flowers, gifts, and gestures both big and small that come as part of the whole palaver. Of course, I’m also a Zelda fan, so I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss my perfect Valentine’s Day in Hyrule! First of all, even though I’m the one with the ideas, I wouldn’t actually know what’s coming — the whole…

The season of love is here, and the vibes have had me thinking about the love stories showcased in each Zelda game. I’ve been thinking of not just the love that’s shared between Link and Zelda (which I always fangirl over), but the many love stories happening in the background. When you get to know the NPCs that wander around in each game, there is a lot more tea and spiciness going around than it seems at first glance! I…

There are many items found in Zelda dungeons. You have the classic items that find their way into lots of games, like the Boomerang. You also have items with more… unique capabilities, such as the Spinner found in Twilight Princess’s Arbiter’s Grounds. Do the Runes from Breath of the Wild qualify as dungeon items? I would probably classify those as gameplay mechanics, but I will say the Champions’ abilities count. Accounting for everything, which of these items reigns supreme on the spectrum…

It’s love month, everyone! This time of year, I am always considering all things heart-shaped and love-oriented, especially when my thoughts turn to Zelda. So, what better to focus on than one of the things we love collecting most throughout all our adventures in Hyrule: Heart Pieces! In every game, there are so many different ways to get these little life-giving items. However, some are much easier to grab than others; and the series is notorious for requiring a lot…

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…

A group of Zelda fans recently created an anime-style intro for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for an animation class and posted it as the debut video on the YouTube channel Project RGB. With the distinct style that anime intros have become known for, this video is a showcase of popular characters and locations from Breath of the Wild, backed by an upbeat track from Japanese pop duo YOASOBI. A few depictions of Skyward Sword, as well as the appearance…

There is no shortage of iconic characters in the Zelda series. There’s Link, the ever-heroic and silent protagonist whose boots we don to trudge the world as we battle monsters and save the day. There’s Zelda, the silent princess, the scholar, the very essence of Wisdom and the Goddess Hylia. And then there’s Ganondorf, hatred, malice, and evil incarnate, son of the Gerudo born every 100 years. Malon. Marin. Midna. Bolson. Impa. Groose. Tingle — yes, I said it; no,…

Finishing a tough minigame or lengthy side quest demands a reward. Sometimes, the Zelda franchise puts a less-than-desirable surprise in Link’s hands. While it’s understandable that not every reward can be legendary weaponry or millions of Rupees, a few of these gifts feel paltry. There are a few criteria that determine how bad a reward can be. The first one is timeliness. If the game is handing out Rupees left and right to the point where your Wallet is always full,…

Al is at the helm once again, and this week she is joined by one of The Zelda Cast’s producers, Cal! Now, many might not know this, but this mashup happened once before, on a Zelda Cast Top Tens Patreon episode last summer. Well, that happens to be the inspiration for today’s episode. Alasyn and Cal decided to expand beyond their opinions of that one bonus episode, and share their top picks on every bonus episode! What are the best…
