When it comes to Zelda, we’ve all got a favorite game, and mine happens to be Ocarina of Time. It just so happens that this is my comfort game too. If you’re wondering what a comfort game is, it’s as obvious as it sounds: a game that brings you peace and comfort when you play it. Ocarina of Time is my comfort game for a couple of reasons. First, it’s the first Zelda game I ever played, which means it’s…

Since the inception of the series, many Zelda games have included a “hard mode” option for courageous and adventurous players who just can’t seem to put the controller down. The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) included an unlockable Second Quest after defeating Ganon. The Nintendo 64’s Ocarina of Time saw a remix with the Master Quest on the GameCube, which was later integrated into the 3DS version as an unlockable feature. Several games from the series,…

Redditor Ultrababouin on r/HyruleEngineering brought the fandom an immense amount of joy after posting a video entitled “Super Zelda Galaxy.” The creator managed to illuminate Tears of the Kingdom with Easter eggs and homages to Super Mario Galaxy — literally and figuratively. The hype is amplified because they put Galaxy music over the showcase. The post opens with Link standing on a small “planet” decked out in Fleet Lotus Seeds and a cleverly placed Star Fragment. Ultrababouin continues, showing how a well-placed…

Many games in the Zelda series include an introductory area, which when completed, grant Link access to the much broader world for exploration. Think of the Great Plateau in Breath of the Wild or Kokiri Forest and the Great Deku Tree in Ocarina of Time. The broad scope of what needs to be done next is usually clear thanks to Link’s companion or an instructive non-playable character (NPC). However, depending how linear the particular game is, Link has the freedom…

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is a spin-off series with more games than I realized. The series started in 2007 to celebrate the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, with its most recent title representing the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. If you were curious, yes, they’ve done Winter installments too. With the Paris 2024 Summer Games right around the corner, it got me thinking of all of the mini-games and athletic challenges Zelda characters face in their journeys. Link is particularly Olympic…

Tears of the Kingdom is still relatively new to Zelda fans, all things considered. Is it too soon for it to evoke nostalgia? In a single YouTube video, Japanese content creator it answered the question for us with a stellar Tears retrospective with a Game Boy art style. They also created the background music (BGM) to make it feel even more authentic. The video shows more than the original trailer, encapsulating countless iconic scenes and characters from the game. The pixel art and…

What’s up, Zelda fans?! It’s time again for the Zelda Dungeon Caption Contest to brighten up your Monday! Back in May, we put out a call for funny Zelda screenshots that we could one day feature in the contest.

So,…
