    OoT: What are some your fishing tips?

    I have been playing OoT sice it was released on the 64 and I enjoy 100% runs from time to time. I also really enjoy the fishing game regardless of how simple it is. But I am terrible at it. So a lot of times I don't bother with the heart as a child and the golden scale as an adult. Everytime I...

    Literal Wish Upon a Star

    So last night there was a meteor shower in the northeast sky. And it had me thinking, as a kid did you ever make wishes on a star? Or use shooting stars as a reason for hope in a wish? I know I did. At least with shooting stars.

    Your thoughts on the Silent Realm in future games

    So I was reading a Gossip Stone this morning that asked about your thoughts on the Silent Realm. But instead of posting the article like I did there for a while, I decided not to cuz the author spent the whole time explaining the Silent Realm...to a bunch of Zelda fans...which seems like a waste...

    Skyward Sword: New thoughts on second playthrough

    For those of you who know me, know its no secret that I have always had NO love for Skyward Sword. I thought the story was sub-par, and that the game was just an over-all terrible Zelda game. Sometime I would wonder to myself that if this wasnt a Zelda game, would I have liked it better. In the...

    Gossip Stone: What control style is best for a Zelda game?

    Anyone else worried about player interest in Darksiders is fading?

    So Vigil gave us two amazing Darksiders games. And with Nordic Games taking the license, I fear they will not do anything with it. Looking at Nordics track record, I dont have a lot of faith. Vigil games was obviously good enough that Crytek gave them their own USA division studio, however the...

    Gossip Stone: What Real-Life setting could be emulated in a future Zelda game?

    What Real-Life setting could be emulated in a future Zelda game? by Jon Lett Fantasy games are certainly no stranger to having medieval settings, and Zelda is the prime example of that. The whole series has been mainly built around saving a kingdom from an evil king/mage/demon/whatever else...

    Does Zelda have a place in Nintendo's new mobile gaming world? by Jon Lett Nintendo is currently working on getting into the mobile gaming market, and it has a lot of people questioning what that means for their favorite series, including Zelda.

    Gossip Stone: What is you definition of a Zelda Item?

    What is your definition of a Zelda Item? by Andrew Kiser Being a life-long Zelda fan can sometimes be difficult.

    Gossip Stone: What would a more "mature" Zelda game be like?

    What would a more "mature" Zelda game be like? by Thomas Jacobs If a franchise lasts as long as Zelda does, you’d eventually need to mix things up a bit or fear stagnation. Gameplay wise there have been a lot of different things, for better or for worse: boats, trains, time loops, physical...

    Would you like to see an adult Link?

    Just as the title says, would you guys like to see an weathered adult Link as apposed to a child or around the age of 16. I know I would. To be honest, I would love a weathered Link in two different scenarios. Not particularly one over the other, as either would do. It could either be a sequel...

    Gossip Stone:How Prominent of a Role Should Humor Play in Zelda Games?

    I know this is two in a row, but two good ones were posted today.

But what ever, I'm willing to take this on. I will be as consistent...

    Thoughts on the return of Bebop and Rocksteady? (a TMNT thread)

    So, two weeks ago, Nicks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles finally gave us the highly anticipated (at least for me) return of Bebob and Rocksteady. I don't know how many TMNT fans we have here at ZD, I for one am a huge fan, and have been since the 90's show/movies. I hear that a lot of older fans...

    General Modern How to Make Side Quests More Inviting

    *the last installment of Jessica's Gossip Stone got me thinking* I for one love side quests, the only complaint I have about a lot of these side quests, is the lack of reward. A lot of fun side quests in some of the Zelda games aren't rewarding enough to justify doing, if you have already...

    Breath of the Wild Bring Back a Transformation

    So one of my favorite features ever used in a Zelda game, is being able to transform into a wolf in TP. My friend Shadow Blade and I have been throwing around the Idea of a Transformation returning in a new title. No we aren't saying bring back Wolf Link, but we did both agree that Transforming...

    General Modern Dual Wielding and New Weapons: A General Future of 'Zelda Combat' Discussion

    I know this thread has come up in the past, but i dont think it has been brought up since the release of the Wii U.

    General Zelda 2D or 3D? Why Not Both?

    For TL;DR's: Why would we not have both, as both are flawless designs. Nintendo makes amazing handheld devices, so just use the system with less expensive development cost for the 2D titles and just throw all the money the Zelda Franchise probably gets for its Development Buget on the Handheld...
