The crew brings their own scores to the table, along with scores drawn from the community and Zelda Dungeon staff. In this episode, the host discuss the merits of Breath of the Wild, which is currently the best selling Zelda game of all time. The acclaimed 2017 game has…

Zelda Dungeon is back with a new entry in the “Definitive Ranking” series where host Mases and Gooey continue their quest to analyze each game in the Zelda series and rank them based on ten different categories. In this episode, the duo take a deep dive into one of the most interesting spin-off games in the Zelda series: Hyrule Warriors. Developed by Koei Tecmo (Omega Force and Team Ninja), Hyrule Warriors was first released in August and September 2014 on the Wii-U….

Zelda Dungeon is back with a new entry in the “Definitive Ranking” series! Hosts Mases and Gooey take a deep dive into one of the most divisive games in the Zelda series: Tri Force Heroes! The 2015 multiplayer spinoff, developed by Nintendo and Grezzo, uses the same engine and art style as A Link Between Worlds. Tri Force Heroes also uses the same Energy Gauge that the 2013 game used. The spinoff is set in the Kingdom of Hytopia, which…

Zelda Dungeon’s own Mases Hagopian and Gooey Fame are back with a Definitive Ranking video for the ages! …Or rather, for Oracle of Ages, one half of the pair of Zelda titles released for Game Boy, alongside Oracle of Seasons. Art, story, and dungeons are just the surface topics evaluated as Mases and Gooey rank the game. Join them in their shenanigans as they discuss the hilariously tedious item switching, debate the efficiency of the swimming mechanics, share their experiences with…

We are back with a new entry in our definitive ranking series! Join hosts Mases and Gooey as they tackle the forgotten Nintendo GameCube gem Four Swords Adventures. In September, the two covered Link’s Awakening DX and scored that game fairly high on their respective lists. How will the multiplayer and mission-oriented Four Swords Adventures stand up under similar scrutiny? Did these changes to the standard Zelda format help or hurt the experience? Was it nice to see fan-favorite villain…

The crew at Zelda Dungeon are back at it again, this time with a tier list ranking of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. In this latest episode of Tier Force Heroes, Gooey Fame, Corey Richmond, and Skull Kid Nico rank and discuss all of the wearable masks in Majora’s Mask in recognition of “Spooky Season” and the upcoming celebration of Halloween. Majora’s Mask has been widely recognized as one of the darkest games in the Zelda franchise. Exploring themes of death,…

Hey! Listen! Over the years, Link has been accompanied by some lovely companions. From fairies to talking objects to princesses, these companions have given support to both our hero and ourselves. Now Zelda Dungeon’s own Tier Force Heroes have taken on the task of ranking each of these into the definitive ranking of Zelda companions. Considering a companion only to be a character that accompanies Link the entire game (meaning not Epona or other supporting characters like Saria), they gathered…

Villains are an essential component in an adventure series. Their twisted schemes and malign shenanigans kick-start the narrative and motivate the hero to triumph in the face of their evil. I think it is quite important for a story to have a powerful and cunning villain. The more powerful and dominant the enemy, the more daring and courageous the hero must be. In terms of video games, this usually translates into a better narrative experience and challenging gameplay. In a…

Following up the Phillips CD-i games from last month, Mases and Gooey are back! And they’re ranking another Zelda game not developed directly by Nintendo: Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of The Necrodancer featuring The Legend of Zelda. Marking the first time Nintendo has cooperated with an indie developer, Cadence of Hyrule has become known for its fantastic take on fan-favorite Zelda music and its challenging difficulty. As per usual, the staff and Discord community of Zelda Dungeon were polled for their…

Our very own Mases and Gooey are back with this month’s Definitive Ranking on the Zelda Dungeon YouTube channel. For this go around, they have the unenviable task of considering the merits of the Phillips CD-i Zelda games in honor of April Fool’s Day. For such infamy, the hosts show a good time of finding the hidden charms in these largely ridiculed games. Certain touches in the design and art were able to worm their way into players’ hearts —…
