Going into the the recent holiday season and emerging into the new year, I’ve recently set a goal for myself to finish a few games I’ve fallen just shy of beating over the last couple of years. Given the timing of the more recent Zelda releases which arrested my attention, some life stuff, and my terrible habit of setting games aside for a breather right as I approach the final, toughest bosses, there are several games I’ve done dirty and…

The Game Awards 2024 are in the books. Last night’s ceremony, which marked the awards’ tenth anniversary, honored 2024’s greatest video game achievements and hosted an excessive number of “world premiere” announcements — and The Muppet Show‘s Statler and Waldorf were there too. But for all the pomp and circumstance of the night’s events, one Nintendo game we had our eye on unfortunately went home with nothing. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was nominated for two awards last…

The term “Zelda-like” originates from fans playing games that mix genres similar to what we can experience in a standard title in the series. Everybody has their own definition, including the team behind Echoes of Wisdom, who recently gave their thoughts on what exactly is a Zelda-like. Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma, along with Echoes of Wisdom Game Directors Tomomi Sano and Satoshi Terada, recently sat down with The Washington Post to discuss the classic Zelda formula. Right off the…

The year is 2024. Video games are pushing graphical and technological boundaries, constantly broadening our perspective on what the medium is capable of. New hardware and AI technology open the door for new possibilities as we creep ever closer to games that are indistinguishable from real life. Amidst this sea of innovation, a new Game Boy game was released. No, I didn’t say a Game Boy-inspired game, but a real, bona fide Game Boy game. Developed by Pie For Breakfast…

In the world of video games there is quite a lot to enjoy. Personally I enjoy a variety of games, but there are a few series that will always be at the very top of my list; The Legend of Zelda being in that top spot, but do you ever need a break from Zelda games? Given how many hobbies I have and how often I rotate through them to enjoy all of them, yes, I need a break from…

Welcome to the Zelda Cast, where this week, we’re not really talking about Zelda! Well, that’s not entirely true, but this week’s show is all about the sequel to one of the best new franchises we’ve played in recent years: Horizon: Forbidden West! Listen as we explore our thoughts on what this sequel did differently than Tears of the Kingdom, being an open world sequel itself, and what areas Forbidden West did better, and what areas Zelda came out on…

In the current climate of the video game industry, it isn’t uncommon to see a litany of remakes, remasters, and spiritual successors flooding the market. Bringing beloved classics into the modern age keeps them relevant to newer audiences and broadens their appeal. What most of these games have in common, though, is that they draw inspiration from games that are revered, games that are considered cult classics, or games that were praised at the time of their release but have…

So, while we wait for the fateful day more…

At their LRG 2023 digital showcase, Limited Run Games announced a new game called Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, a spiritual successor to The Legend of Zelda’s infamous Phillips CD-i titles, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Link: The Faces of Evil. Indie developer Seedy Eye Software, also known as Dopply, previously made fan remakes of both titles and is now putting that experience to work in a brand new game.  The aforementioned Zelda games originally released in October 1993…
