Cosplaying Zelda characters is not a rare sight. In fact, while at the Anime Revolution convention over the weekend, I saw dozens of Links and Zeldas roaming the halls. What I didn’t see, however, was a Navi cosplay… especially a Navi portrayed in this fashion, by Australian cosplayer Eve Beauregard.

Destructoid has teamed up with credible analyst Jesse Divnich to bring gamers many E3 predictions, among them the possible announcement of Zelda 3DS at this year’s E3. Destructoid put to the test five contestants to answer questions: two of which were a horse and a coin, and one of which was a toddler. So I would only trust the esteemed gamer and the analyst, Jesse Divnich. Divnich gives short answers to fans’ burning questions, but it’s exciting to hear that…

Storm Dain over at Destructoid has posted a new entry in his Storm’s Adventure series, this time taking a look at Skyward Sword. Basically the videos in this series serve as reviews, but they are done in his own unique way. Storm seems to be another victim that couldn’t get over the hurdle in regards to the controls of Skyward Sword and he actually does a good job in elaborating his point. I actually agree with him when it comes…
