Have you heard? We’re getting a Hyrule Warriors game set during Tears of the Kingdom’s Imprisoning War! Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a canonical Zelda story coming to Switch 2 later this year. It promises to bring all the hack and slash, player-versus-army mechanics of the prior two Hyrule Warrior titles to the founding of the Era of the Wild’s Hyrule. Comments I’ve seen online show the news of Age of Imprisonment took many of us by surprise. When…

To say the Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2 delivered in more ways than one is putting it mildly. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are getting Switch 2 Editions that’ll make the titles run smoother than ever before, an unexpected new chapter in the Hyrule Warriors series is happening in the form of Age of Imprisonment, and The Wind Waker is finally coming to a Switch system via the introduction of select GameCube games on the recently renamed Nintendo Classics platform…

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…

While Universal Epic Universe is set to open in Orlando on May 22nd, 2025, company employees and annual season pass holders recently got a chance to check the park out during its preview period. During this sneak peek, word of mouth coverage has gotten out about attendees spotting Zelda series characters emblazoned inside a store at Epic Universe. While photos have since been posted online to confirm these sightings, Zelda Dungeon was fortunate enough to attend a recent preview of…

It’s no surprise that we here at Zelda Dungeon love our Zelda spin-off games. While there are plenty of games adjacent to our beloved franchise that we can currently enjoy, the opportunity for more games with a Zelda skin on them feels endless. With The Minish Cap celebrating its 20th birthday last year, I have been thinking about the kinds of ways we could see our friendly, little elf-like folks in a new game, and maybe in a new light. Then,…

If you are an introvert and a Zelda speedrunner, this quirky challenge courtesy of YouTube content creator j0rts may be perfect for you. The video we’re focusing on today was published back in February with the title, “How far can you go without talking to people in EVERY Zelda game?” Although having watched the video, I think it might be more accurate to say, “How far can you go without someone talking to you in every Zelda game?” The video’s humorously titled…

Contestants sit in an iconic black chair under a spotlight and have to correctly answer as many questions as possible in two minutes. For their first round, each contestant chooses their specialist subject, and Project Manager Lewis Jones recently selected the Legend of Zelda video game series! This semi-final episode aired on BBC2 on March 31st, 2025. The occasion had a diverse range of…

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…

Remakes are all the rage these days when it comes to popular video games, and Zelda has already seen its fair share. We have had rereleases of major titles like The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess in high definition (complete with some extra perks). And Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask were given a fresh coat of paint and released again for the Nintendo 3DS. The most shocking remake to me, though, was the complete remake of Link’s Awakening, which…
