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…

As someone who has been playing Zelda games for as long as I can remember, all I know is that back in my Ocarina of Time days on the Nintendo 64, staying alive just seemed much more… difficult. The same goes for The Wind Waker, Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, and the large number of 2D and top-down titles. In Zelda, there are usually plenty of hearts to go around to recover health, but once you snatch them out of broken…

Turns out the rumors were right all along. The Wind Waker is coming to Nintendo Switch! . . . just not the original Switch . . . and not the Wii U HD version. In the recent Nintendo Direct centering around the launch of the Switch 2, Nintendo announced the addition of GameCube games to Switch Online + Expansion Pack under the newly branded Nintendo Classics (formerly Nintendo Switch Online classic game libraries). To the joy of many Zelda fans,…

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…

Can you believe amiibo first hit store shelves just over ten years ago? Nintendo released the first set of amiibo for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in 2014. The scannable statuettes offered in-game bonuses; and one could also train a fighter up to level 50 and save it to the appropriate amiibo. Eventually, Nintendo released amiibo for multiple games and series, each with its own functionality in its own respective games or series of games. As…

While Nintendo fans didn’t get DS or 3DS games introduced to Nintendo Switch Online, they have gotten something arguably even more exciting. The newly renamed application, Nintendo Classics, will launch its GameCube library on the same day as the Switch 2’s release on June 5th, 2025. The Wind Waker is one of its first inclusions, with other GameCube Zelda titles like Twilight Princess and Four Swords Adventures being absent. While it isn’t the HD edition many had hoped for, fans can still…

It’s that time again! The annual tradition continues! Zelda Dungeon’s Best Zelda Ever ranking is back… already? A mere three months after our 2024 ranking, the Zelda Dungeon team has gathered together to once again rank the Legend of Zelda series from worst to best. We just couldn’t wait! But this year, things are looking a little… different. I’ve seen a few of these games in the ranking in past years, but so many have never been seen in a Best Zelda Ever…
