What’s happening, everybody? Let’s get another Zelda Informer Photoshop Contest going, shall we. Believe it or not, ZI has quite a large and devoted Facebook community. In fact, we try our best to reach audiences on several different social media platforms. With that fact on our minds, for this week’s contest we wanted to imagine what a social media feed would look like in Zelda universe. What would Link, Zelda, and Ganon have to say if they were all connected together on such a platform? Share your ideas with us this week, as well check out the winners from last week’s contest: Link Trades in Epona for a Better Mount…

Music is a such an important theme in Zelda. Almost every game has you learning a new song or instrument. Although, rap music probably isn’t the first thing your mind comes to when you think of Zelda. Though few and far between, Zelda raps do exist and they turn out to be both smooth and unique. FabvL is a talented rap artist on YouTube who makes a ton of video game-related rap songs. His most recent release is based on Zelda, which is why we thought it was appropriate to share…

The Song of Storms from Ocarina of Time is a favorite among fans. Technically not a requirement to complete the game, players usually visit the Windmill regardless to snag this song as it is eerie, lovely, and potentially enormously helpful. It also unlocks many secrets in the game, which is always a plus. The YouTube channel RedHawk has recently covered this lovely song on violin. He records each part of the music separately and combines them at the end, a similar style that most a cappella singers use… 

Nintendo has restarted their social media campaign to advertise Breath of the Wild after taking a week or two off (remember all those small video snippets they were posting?). Today, Nintendo UK has tweeted out four brand new screenshots for Breath of the Wild featuring some of the various Bokoblin, all of which can be found in the opening area of the game (thus, their campaign still stems around just the demo area). While they are the most prominent enemy type by far in this area of the game, they also have some of the best AI an enemy has ever had in the Zelda series and feel like living…

There’s something about piano covers that I love, especially those of the video game variety. Whenever I see a Zelda piano cover, I have to check it out. My favorite one to this day is one we featured in June of 2015, titled the “Craziest Zelda Piano Medley.” Today we’re showing you another piano medley such as the one I just referenced, but this one has a few more tunes added to it…

I have made a triumphant return to the podcast after a one week hiatus to talk about the lasting legacy of the Wii U and why I am so frustrated with Nintendo’s handling (or lack of handling) the NX information train. Our usual cohost Alfred is in the house as well as we are also joined by a brand new staff member at Zelda Informer, Daniel, along with Macintyre from Macintyre Productions…

Dr Wily, YouTuber and frequent Zelda theorist, has given us a new theory regarding the Mirror of Twilight and Midna fromTwilight Princess. Dr Wily first gives the Mirror’s intended purpose and its origins. The Mirror was created by the Golden Goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore, and was used to banish the Dark Interlopers in the events of the Interloper War. The descendants of the Dark Interlopers became the Twili, and this includes Midna and Zant…

The Zelda series has a rich history, reaching back to its creation in the 1980’s. As with any video game franchise that has been around for 30 years, The Legend of Zelda has some fun, yet odd facts dug up about it. In the video above, ClickSelect takes a look at 19 of said facts. From the creation of Zelda‘s theme, to the obscure hints found in the game, this was a very entertaining video I would recommend to any Zelda fan. I wonder just how much more interesting info has yet to be dug up…

Dungeons are certainly a staple of the Zelda franchise, as they appear in every canon game since the first title on NES. While we have seen what Nintendo calls “shrines” in Breath of the Wild, these are not dungeons. They could be called mini-dungeons perhaps, but not full-fledged Zelda dungeons. In the new installment of “Inside Breath of the Wild” above, Commonwealth Realm reviews what we know about the shrines so far, as well…

What better way to relax after your long Monday than dive into some Zelda lore as Macintyre is discussing the beloved Princess Zelda. More specifically, Macintyre is diving into the motives behind this lovely face. Throughout numerous games we see Princess Zelda running to protect the Triforce, or pieces of Triforce—but why? The answer seems obvious enough on the surface, but is there more to the princess than meets the eye?…
