Artist Jazza decided to honor the newest entry in the Zelda series, Echoes of Wisdom, with a 3D printed map. Jazza created and worked on the map long…

The holiday season and Zelda go hand-in-hand for me. When I was younger, I usually got the latest game in the series as a Christmas present. I spent many a December 25th taking those first tentative steps in a new Hyrulean adventure. The successful fusing of Zelda and the holiday spirit always brings a smile to my face. Today, we’re taking a look at DarkNuck’s new album, A Very Zelda Christmas. The record pairs Zelda melodies with classic Christmas songs,…

The original The Legend of Zelda is getting a makeover, and it might not be the one you expect. It isn’t getting a remaster or remake from Nintendo. Instead, it’s getting reimagined by 2D animator, Hugo Vasgestian dos Santos, or vasge. They are making the entire first dungeon in a hand-drawn art style in the Godot engine.

One of the most enduring images of The Legend of Zelda sees series protagonist Link effortlessly reaching over his shoulder to remove the Master Sword from the scabbard on his back. This simple yet heroic action is ubiquitous across the Zelda series, and it’s even long been used as part of Link’s starting animations in the Super Smash Bros. series. However, if recent internet discourse is to be believed, we have, it seems, been taking that iconic animation for granted…
