While there’s still a long way to go before the live-action Zelda film makes its big-screen debut, director Wes Ball is already sharing the direction he hopes to go in with the project. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ball discussed receiving the amazing opportunity to produce an adaptation of the Zelda franchise and his vision for the project. According to him, his goal will not just be to implement his passion for the series, but to also incorporate…

While there may be moving trends throughout the franchise, no Zelda game is built the same. They each have their own prized mechanic, their own adventurous tale, and — more often than not — their own version of Link and Zelda. However, I don’t think it’s too controversial to say that not all Zelda games are built equal, and this is especially true when we consider which ones would translate to a live-action movie like the one recently announced by Nintendo….

A few months ago I wrote an article on content creator Any Austin and their video analyzing the unemployment rate of Majora’s Mask’s Clock Town. That particular video provides a thoroughness that holds the games we know and love to a higher, real-world standard, even if that involves topics that may seem silly and trifling to some (not to me, though!) A few days ago, Any Austin released another Zelda-related video; this one a discussion with his furniture-making friend on the…

Just in time for the holidays, GameStop will be giving away a free poster with the purchase of a new (not pre-owned) copy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The posters come in two different designs, one featuring an expanded view of the game’s cover art and the other showing off Link in his Archaic outfit wielding the Master Sword. If you plan on buying this 2023 Game of the Year nominee for yourself, family, or a…

While Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom both use a memory system as part of their respective narratives, I found Tears of the Kingdom to be the more engaging narrative of the two. The presence of Ganondorf in the opening sequence of Tears of the Kingdom, as well as the villain’s role in Zelda’s journey through the distant past, helps give the story more impact and drama than Breath of the Wild‘s story. Tears of the Kingdom…

After a long, long layoff, Definitive Ranking returns to the Zelda Cast, and what better game to usher its return than the most recent entry into the series: Tears of the Kingdom! We’re going through ten critical categories that make up the ingredients to a Zelda game – world, story, pacing, art style, dungeons, bosses/enemies, items, gameplay, extras, and music – and assigning them each a score to see where Tears ranks among the hallowed halls of greatest Zelda games…

The first game you play in a series is special; it will be the determining factor for if you dive into other games or set the series aside. The themes and qualities of that first game will subconsciously be what you compare all other games in the series against. It isn’t uncommon to hold the first game you play in a series in higher regard because that game carried with it a sense of novelty and wonderment that you can…

Ocarina of Time, a beloved and popular game in the Legend of Zelda series, has been around for 25 years. Revolutionary at its release, the Nintendo 64 classic brought the series into the 3D world and left its mark on the gaming landscape with its impressive design and gameplay. Its legacy on the series and on video games in general cannot be denied. Many fans have clamored for an updated remake of the game with modern graphics. While Nintendo hasn’t answered…

The Zelda series is one that is not only deeply seeded in lore, but also has enough wiggle-room to encourage branches upon branches of theories. In fact, one of Nintendo’s main goals with the Zelda series is to balance those two things. Although it is simplistic to boil an entire series down so simply, I believe that Mario games are a sandbox for gameplay and Zelda games are a sandbox for where your imagination can take you. There are exceptions…
