    What's Up with Stone Tower Temple?

    Aside from the dad joke in the title, I'd like to hear some theories and answers regarding Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask. The transformation mask associated with it isn't like the transformation masks associated with the other temples. Does the Giants mask have anything to do with the...

    Whence Come the Dwarves?

    I finally finished A Link to the Past for the first time today and the end credits really got me thinking: hyrulian dwarves? It looks like they were in Ancient Stone Tablets as well, does anybody have any lore on them from there? I can't tell if they have pointed ears or not. Looks like this...

    The Best Console

    I'm not talking about a holistic, considered answer to the best console, I want to talk about the finest plastic shell holding your pcbs together. What is the best-looking video game console on earth?! I've got a few ideas... 5: XBox 360 (OG) I never owned the 360 when it was current...

    Talking to Animals

    What animal do you talk to most throughout the series? An owl possibly? A fish? I haven't done my homework on this one but I'm wondering if it's maybe a frog. Phantom Hourglass, you talk to Cyclos and golden frogs. Twilight Princess, your talk to frogs as a wolf. Ocarina of Time, you talk to the...

    Video Game Companies Figured Out How to Beat Emulation (and no one noticed)

    *end click-bait* I was just watching a video about the legality of video game emulation and finally put something together that I had never noticed before. Yes, I'm a big fan of physical media so I'm not big on digital games so this annoys me even more. I also don't understand the subject very...

    Tears of the Kingdom Did Nintendo's TotK Marketing Work?

    You may all recall my insistence over the past few months that Nintendo should hold everything back for TotK. There was no grand E3 showcase, no consistent updates, and even the final trailers showed little more than the opening cutscene. Granted, there was a treehouse the day before launch...

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    I can't find another thread about this movie yet. Weird. Anyway, give me your thoughts on this movie. I'm kind of guessing that there's no general thread on this because most people are waiting for the movie to come out on streaming. I could be totally wrong about this but I very rarely go out...

    Kingdom Hearts Recommendations

    So I've never played any of the kingdom hearts games but I have a couple of them and I know that the series has some rabid fans so it's got to be worth playing. For some reason, it came to my mind that Bowser was in Wreck-It Ralph which is a Disney property So they probably ought to just throw...

    The Fused Shadow

    What is this thing? Where does it come from? Why make such an uncomfortable helmet? So Ganondorf says that the Fused Shadow is an ancient power. Does it originate in Hyrule or the Twilight Realm? Or maybe somewhere else? The thing in really wondering about is the pair of dragons on the front...

    Best Console for Zelda

    Contended with a dude in YouTube today about the best Console for playing Zelda games. Is it the Steam Deck? The Switch? The Leapster? I'm going to take the easy way out and just copy/paste some of my thoughts. Tell me how I'm wrong about it. --- So it seems like a long way of saying that the...

    Time Block

    Why? These blue bricks are scattered through OoT but what are they? Why are they? Do I remember right that they only appeared on the adult timeline? Either way, who put them there? I'm a big fan of Nintendo's "gameplay first" principle so it's totally fine if the only justification for these...

    Zuna

    The Zuna are a race first (and thus far, only) encountered in the Desert of Doubt in Four Swords Adventures. They are a race of green-skinned nomads who exist alongside the Gerudo. Weirdly enough, we only meet them later in the timeline as Four Swords Adventures is the latest game in the Child...

    Gone Forever

    Here's a thread of lamentations. What do you love about Zelda that's never coming back? I was thinking about it recently and I loved the Keatons. They were mythological, sentient, mysterious, they even had their own theme! Unfortunately, I don't see much of a chance that we'll see them ever...

    The Grandfather Parablah

    Yeah, we all know the old debate. Does link remember the events of OoT in the child timeline? Here are a few thoughts. So in Majora's Mask, Link appears to remember learning the song of Time from Zelda. It goes differently from the events of OoT though, considering Zelda's words and the fact...

    Hestu or Nostu?

    He's a tree, he could totally be in TotK. But what if he's not? Like, Korok seeds were a bit superfluous, especially after a certain point, but I think I'll miss them if Hestu's not in Tears. There are surely other options for gating inventory slots and other ways to make the world feel full and...

    Developer Says...

    Put yourself in the shoes of the dev team and tell us what they were thinking as they built a Zelda game! I'll start us off. Dev 1: "We've got to subvert expectations or the transformation masks will just feel like gimmicks." Dev 2: "Uh... How about the Deku can fly?" Dev 1: "Ah, because...

    Gaming YouTube Channels

    I tried searching a few keywords and I can't seem to find a thread dedicated to gaming YouTube channel awareness. If there is one, let me know and I'll delete this thread. What are your favorite gaming YouTube channels? There are the obvious ones. Scott the Woz still holds up even all these...

    Possible Inspiration?

    I know it's a long shot but it actually fits pretty well. It would at least be ready to follow the train of thought down this path. Joshua 14:12 Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified...

    Link and The Portal of Doom

    This book is horrible but it's part of Zelda history so I read it to my oldest son. I don't suggest anybody else buy it but I'm glad I've got it anyway. Mine even had the wholesticker page intact! Now that page is a gem! Anyway, fun thing I figured somebody could correct me on because I couldn't...

    How Zelda Used to Look

    https://bogleech.com/zelda.html Here's a fun little time machine I found a while back and have been wanting to share with you guys. Back in the wild west days of Zelda, there was less prejudice about the look and feel of the game because...well, there was only one game. No baggage, no lore...

    The Perfect Visual Comedy

    I haven't been thinking about it long, but this strikes me as possibly the most perfectly comedic non-vocal scene in modern filmdom. The close-up of Sparrow's stoic face, the swelling music, the impeccable timing, everything was perfect. I'm sure there are plenty of other perfect non-vocal...

    Which Enemy Ought to be Recognized as a -Blin?

    Origins of Zelda Things

    So there are a lot of things in Zelda that people remember from certain games that actually had their origins in earlier games or media. What other sorts of iconic Zelda things had their origins outside of the game for which they're known?

    Smash Bros Where Do We Go From Here?

    Smash Ultimate. The name itself implies finality. Sakurai gonna Sakurai. Everybody's here (except a certain debonair dastard). Nintendo doesn't always make choices that I like but they don't usually milk series 'till they're dead the way many other developers do so we may have seen the last SSB...

    But Who Actually WAS Gustaf?

    I always felt that Gustaf was meant to play a larger role in the Minish Cap what with him being modeled and mentioned by name of the backstory and being dressed like Link but he didn't get much spotlight. Is there a significance to him being dressed in the green of the fields?

    Best-Looking Console

    Zelda Music Covers

    (I'm sure this thread has been made a dozen times but I couldn't find one back through 2019 so I guess I'll stick a new thread here.)

    Link's Awakening Switch Ten Notes?

    Arlo didn't mention it, Commonwealth Realm didn't mention it, Zeltic didn't mention it, GameXplain didn't mention it, I'm starting to wonder if nobody else is asking the question. The final moments of the trailer show us the year "2019" against a black backdrop and 10 notes, which are presumably...

    Smash Bros SSB2022

    Surely far too early for this but let's have a quick gasp of activity around this concept before the thread is inevitably buried before being replaced by a more timely thread in 2021 when we get our first teaser trailer. Anyway, I got to thinking about this after seeing the wealth of content and...

    Jedi Knight

    So here I am, sitting on front of my newly- modded xbox (I've been told that we can't mention missing on the forums but I will continue to point to the fact that it's not illegal and not explicitly against the forum rules) and I decide to play Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast. Good times, right? Hold...

    The Cutest in Zelda

    Characters, races, items, locations, moments? What are the cutest things in Zelda? Sure, it's not the kind of question a burly man like myself ought to ask but I was thinking about tokay tonight and decided they are a likely candidate for the cutest Zelda race. I love the anouki as well. And...

    Farewell Mr. Kimishima

    https://kotaku.com/nintendo-is-getting-a-new-president-1825557273/amp Nintendo has a long track record of presidents who held the title for decades, a fact which I believe likely plays into their success as a company.

    Smash Bros Smash Bros 5 Joy-Con Multiplayer?

    Nintendo has been pushing their couch multiplayer with the Switch and a major first-party ip like Smash seems unlikely to pass up the possibility. The thing is, of course I don't want to have to buy a bunch of pro controllers for Smash, but I also don't want to play a version of Smash that makes...

    What Are They Saying?

    Have you ever wondered what Fi or Midna are saying when they speak? Or perhaps you already know because you watch YouTube? Are there other sounds in Hyrule that are familiar or perplexing? I've got one: snapper. Yeah, the turtle from Majora's Mask. "@**-crap!" Right?! The last thing you hear...

    Express.co.uk is a web site that you've probably come across while looking for news about video games.

    Is Hatred of Four Swords Adventures Exacerbated by Lack of Multiplayer

    So I was considering today, I don't know anyone who has played FSA with four players and thought that multiplayer was a bad choice for the game.
