Rune abilities are a brand new concept in Breath of the Wild that are gathered from various shrines and applied to Link through the Sheikah Slate. To date, we know about four of these abilities, all of which are attainable on the Great Plateau (the starting area of the game). Nintendo of Europe provided us a clip showing off those abilities in the order of Cryonis, Magnesis, Bombs, and Stasis. These abilities allow fun and creative ways to solve puzzles and traverse the world…

CryZENx uploaded two videos onto YouTube that changed the point of view in Ocarina of Time. In the first video, he shows off child Link in the Desert Colossus in a first person perspective. Because the viewer is seeing the world as Link, the environment takes on a vaster, more dangerous feel. The perspective could also be used to convey how Ocarina of Time would look or handle if it was a virtual reality game…

For years, speedrunners of The Wind Waker have searched endlessly for a glitch known as the “Barrier Skip,” a way to bypass an energy barrier blocking Link’s path from Hyrule Castle to Ganon’s Tower during the hero’s first visit to the submerged kingdom. The Barrier Skip always seemed like an impossible goal, that is, until just recently. Last week, Zelda speedrunner LinkOscuro finally managed to achieve the skip in The Wind Waker HD, capturing the occasion on Twitch…

Most Majora’s Mask fans are pretty thrilled that Majora’s Mask 3D is even a thing. That being said, there were a ton of fairly significant changes to the game that may or may not be welcomed. Looking back on the game I find little to dislike about the changes, but that’s simply because most of them felt like either missing content (no ability to fish) or corrections on things that probably only existed the way they did due to the limited time under-which the game was created (just one year)…

Could The Great Deku Tree be returning in Breath of the Wild? YouTuber Zeltik believes so, specifically due to the Korok’s direct connection to the other worldly forest spirit in The Wind Waker. It’s a fairly plausible ideal, though I do question the logic behind the location of the tree, as he suspects and states an area under which we haven’t yet seen and can’t possibly know if it is indeed the most densely wooded area in the game. That being said, there is more to this than meets the eye…

The Hero’s Shade was introduced in Twilight Princess as a mentor to the Hero of Twilight. Before Hyrule Historia confirmed his origin, it was hinted in the game itself, that the Hero’s Shade was the same Link from Ocarina of Time. Despite the fact that Link has been revered by many Zelda fans and different game characters, Ocarina of Time Link probably has a much sadder story behind his triumph over Hyrule. A YouTuber by the name of ZeldaMaster, goes into detail explaining the Hero’s Shade and his sad origin…

While adventuring through Hyrule, players often visit the fountains of the Great Fairy to relax. Accompanied by soothing music, the great fairy fountains are mostly hidden, beautiful places that are extremely helpful. Finding these places are a times, quite literally, a life saver as the Great Fairies give back precious health and hearts players lose along their journey. Recently, the YouTube channel Evil Ducky Production has taken this mild theme and re-imagined it into a metal cover…

One of the best things about a fandom, are the fans and their ability to create almost anything. Whether it’s art, music, replicas, or even things for everyday use like coasters and light switch and outlet covers, they always find ways to be creative and create things related to the fandoms they are part of. So cosplayer Maddie over on Tumblr took it upon herself to make a life size Master Sword made by foam, and so far it looks pretty sweet!

Earlier this month we talked about a new book called the Hyrule Graphics Art Book, , a book that promised to contain all of the official art from the entirety of the series. In the west we are receiving something very similar, though under a new name called The Legend of Zelda: Arts & Artifacts. The big difference between this book and that book at the outset is that this one will contain art from the whole series through Breath of the Wild (it may even be possible that it contains yet to be released…

Here’s a good way to start the day: With only a couple of months until Breath of the Wild‘s planned release, YouTuber Everything Amiibo has created a video containing some funny and epic fails from the game called “Link Or Swim”. The fails include (but are not limited to): Sliding down hills, Drowning, Wolf Link living the thug life and also an epic fall down a cliff. Needless to say, this video has made my day…
