If you’re like me when asked about memorable themes in the Zelda series, one of the first songs to come to your mind is the Great Fairy’s Fountain theme. This theme, heard throughout a variety of titles in The Legend of Zelda, incorporates mesmerizing string and wind instruments that induce feelings of serenity and nostalgia. This cover of  “Great Fairy’s Fountain” brings new life to the tune by swapping the traditional instruments with harmonic voices and soothing piano notes. The arranger…

The recent Nintendo Direct Mini featured some really exciting Zelda related news. Fans can expect loads of DLC for Cadence of Hyrule, including added music, additional characters, and a brand new storyline featuring Skull Kid! Currently, the game is one of a collection of Zelda spin-offs, none of which are considered canon. But with the fresh adventure featuring the beloved Skull Kid, it’s worth asking if, and under what circumstances Cadence of Hyrule could be considered canon. It is true…

|| Part Twenty-Five || Part Twenty-Seven || Part Twenty-Six Color returned to the world around Osmond, and sounds soon followed. He looked down at his hands and saw the strange harp still there, proving the visions he’d witnessed as true. He remained atop the Sleepless Waterfall as he heard panicked cries from the Zora Throne Room. When he returned to the chamber, both Zelda and Fado appeared as though they were going to accost him, but the small aquatic deity spoke…

Being the devoted A Link to the Past fan that I am, it was pretty much a certainty that I was going to pick up A Link Between Worlds upon its release. I thought that it would be a nice little homage to my favorite Zelda installment, but what I got went above and beyond any preconceptions that I had going in. Rather than being a title that rested on the laurels of its predecessor, it rose up and became something else all…

Speaking of which, please let me know if you have an idea for a weekly challenge – it might show up at some point. Now, let’s get right into everything!

A recent episode of The Champions’ Cast reviewed the best and worst opening dungeons in the Zelda series. The crew expanded the concept to include any opening area that teaches the player how to navigate its respective game. Rated the absolute worst (“not even close,” according to Andy Spiteri) is The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. After nearly choking on my morning oatmeal, I gathered my tears of light and got to writing. I just so happen to be replaying…

The Wind Waker has always been one of my favorite Zelda games, and I am always thrilled when fan arrangements of the game’s music surface on YouTube. Musician Marcus Hedges has arranged a version of “The Great Sea” that brings the adventure of The Wind Waker back to the surface. The music is perfect for sailing on a lazy Summer afternoon or, if you’re like me, for dreaming of the next great adventure. The arrangement stays true the original while…

I hate to sound like a broken record here at Zelda Dungeon, but The Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game of all-time. One aspect of The Wind Waker that is so unique is its soundtrack, which uses instruments and sounds that set the game apart from others in the series. The same can be said about this 8-bit remix of the game’s Main Theme, as it uses a rather unique “instrument” of sorts to bring this cover to life….

Ever since the Zelda timeline was worked into canon, there have been several gaps that felt worthy of exploring. These gaps span a few hundred years collectively, and leave the story of events to our own imagination. Popular modder Kaze Emanuar has taken it upon himself to fill one such gap, and has created an unofficial interquel between Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. His new mod is appropriately named The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link and is designed…

Last summer, we were treated to a wonderful indie title in the form of Cadence of Hyrule. This game provided an easy to play, Zelda-themed adventure, all set to our favorite Zelda tunes. It became a quick classic among Zelda fans, so how would you feel about another indie title like Cadence of Hyrule? Personally I would love to see a sequel to Cadence of Hyrule. The original title launched on Nintendo’s e-Shop at a reasonable price, it had re-playability, and…
