Three great Zelda game have been downloaded enough to be on this week’s Nintendo 3DS eShop sales charts. While Pokémon dominates most of the top 10 thanks to Pokémon GO‘s success, Zelda holds spots 12, 13, and 20. These games are Ocarina of Time 3D, A Link to the Past (only available on New 3DS), and The Legend of Zelda for NES. I personally own all three of these titles for my 3DS and would recommend any one of them. Be sure to check out the full chart…

In celebration of The Legend of Zelda‘s 30th anniversary, an art book called Hyrule Graphics is releasing in Japan. There’s no word on a Western release at the moment, but I’m sure fans will be importing this collectible as soon as it’s available. The book contains a collection of all official Zelda art ever published, which would be an amazing addition to any Zelda or gaming collection.

Three preview pages have been published online, coming from The Legend of Zelda for NES, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina of Time…

Oh boy, here we go—it’s time to talk about remakes once again. After reading the headline, I know what you’re going to say. “But Zelda Informer, Ocarina of Time already got a remake.

If you want some throwback to the glorious Gameboy era, look no further than Hyrule Warriors Legends, as a Link’s Awakening DLC pack has been released. YouTube user GamesBrained takes on the challenge to review this nostalgia-inspiring DLC pack.

In the video he takes notes of several details regarding, among other things, the addition of a Koholint Island map to the adventure mode. Even though it wasn’t easy implementing the map into the small screen view, there are a LOT of areas and secrets in there…

There’s no definitive answer to what the best Zelda game is, or what the best game is in general. It all comes down to one’s preferences and enjoyment, and that makes everyone’s top games different from person to person. Because of this, it’s always amusing to see what people list as their best games.

Song of Storms is one of the more popular songs from Ocarina of Time. The paradoxical origins and the haunting tone has made it a fan favorite. YouTuber OmegaMetroid93  has uploaded his personal take on this song. It is an acoustic cover played with only an acoustic guitar, and the result is beautiful.
