At the time of writing, we don’t know if this will be available from the first playthrough; however, we do know that this mode increases the difficulty, causing Princess Zelda to take more damage and eliminate heart drops. My biggest disappointment with Tears of the Kingdom was the lack of Hero/Master Mode, which would have made the…

It’s been over nine months since we got the announcement that a Zelda movie was in production and very little is still known about it. One thing that we can be certain of, however, is that Link will have a voice. In an April Reddit AMA, director Wes Ball was asked if he thinks Link should speak in the upcoming movie. Ball said, “When I play Zelda as Link I speak with many villagers and creatures throughout the game; asking…

As the clock ticks away until Nintendo’s eventual reveal of their Switch successor, we are left to sit here and ponder on what the new system will include when it finally releases.

With a release date only two weeks away, we are in the final stretch of Echoes of Wisdom‘s hype cycle. And, personally speaking, I’m more excited to experience the final game than ever. In just the past two weeks, Nintendo has done a lot to set my mind at ease in regards to Princess Zelda’s first true solo adventure; they dropped a brand-new trailer introducing several exciting gameplay features, they have continued to spotlight the game on social media, and…

Wisdom. Power. Courage. These are the attributes manifested in Hyrule’s Triforce. They are the principles upon which the very world was created. They bring balance and prosperity to the world and its inhabitants, evidenced by the sad state of a land who gave up its Triforce. Princess Zelda bears the Triforce of Wisdom; Link wields the Triforce of Courage; and Ganon controls the Triforce of Power. These three are continually reincarnated throughout the generations, locked in an eternal struggle between…

Nintendo Everything have translated part of the text, which reveals that a very strong contender for the game’s title was “Tears of the Dragon!” However, Zelda Series Producer Eiji Aonuma reveals that this name raised concerns about putting too much emphasis on…
