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…

One of the most interesting announcements from the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation and subsequent Nintendo Treehouse: Live coverage were the details about Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games. Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are games that were previously available on the original Nintendo Switch that will receive visual improvements, frame rate improvements, new features, or additional game modes on Nintendo Switch 2. If a customer already owns a game that is available as a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game (physically or…

With the dust settling with the Switch 2 announcement, we finally get to all of your listener questions, and boy oh boy, did you guys come through! So much actually that we had to break up the episode into two parts! This week, we’re tackling questions like: do we think we’ll play as the Ancient Hero Aspect in Age of Imprisonment? What do we think of the Zelda movie’s release date? Is Tears of the Kingdom’s Imprisoning War the same…

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…

In the wake of the April 2nd Switch 2 Direct, the internet has been (to put it lightly) hyper-reactive to anything related to the new console. News, speculation, and misinformation have been swirling, so much so that many find it difficult to distinguish between what is true and what’s pure fiction. Today, we’re going to tackle some of the biggest concerns being expressed in posts and comments to see what’s really going on. Let’s start by addressing why there is…

Zelda games are full of references to one another. Many of the references are by name. It’s hard to go five minutes in Breath of the Wild without stumbling on a location named after a previous title: Koholit Rock is likely a reference to Link’s Awakening‘s Koholint Island, Gorko Tunnel shares its name with Skyward Sword‘s traveling Goron, and Horon Lagoon references Oracle of Seasons‘s Horon Village. Eldin, Faron, and Lanayru are named after the golden goddesses Din, Farore, and…

The live-action fantasy genre has certainly taken off in the last few decades. The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones franchises take place entirely in their own worlds without acknowledging the one we live in.  For many years, this was not the case. Other popular live-action fantasy movies from the 1980s and early 1990s often had characters that came from the “real” world that were magically transported to the fantastical world. Movies like Labyrinth and even the infamous Super…

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…
