The last couple of patients have had a a lot in common as far as a diagnosis goes, one that obsesses over the past, and one who obsesses over bugs. Both have been diagnosed with OCD in some form. This week however, the patient is insane. He is crazy beyond belief and suffers from multiple disorders. Hit the jump to see the next patient and how his disorders have been deciphered.

There are hundreds of songs in the Zelda series, each one with its own story, but each also contains its fair share of technicalities. With that in mind, I present a brand news series here on Zelda Dungeon, Milk Bar Mornings. Here on Milk Bar Mornings, we will be analyzing various tracks from the series. To kick off the series, we will be focusing on the various songs of Winter from the series. The Zelda series has many icy and…

Would You Rather: Edition IV

December 01 2013 by Cassie

Welcome back to Would You Rather! Last week we discussed the magical masks of Majora’s mask,  which is a super fun topic. If you missed out, never fear! You can check out last week’s edition here. This week we’re bringing together two items that can be overlooked if a player happens to be unfamiliar with earlier Zelda titles, but even if you missed out on these games you are just as able to participate as ever. Hit the jump to…

Alright, well here we are. Time to review the last of The Minish Cap’s dungeons before the last hurrah in Dark Hyrule Castle. It’s not my favorite dungeon in The Minish Cap — that award still goes to the Temple of Droplets — but it is my second-favorite and it’s also the only wind-themed dungeon in the series that I like. I’m sure you’ve noticed the trend if you’ve been keeping up with my Dungeon Reflections, how I’ve bashed the…

Gonna be a short review this time, since, well, we’re reviewing The Minish Cap’s sole mini-dungeon: The Royal Crypt. It’s not really a dungeon to be honest; it lacks all of the hallmarks of one, with no Dungeon Map, Compass, Big Key, or main item, and it has no map screen of its own. That said it functions enough like one with the puzzles and collection of keys to advance that some would count it, and I’m including it for…

Before I even played The Minish Cap, I’d heard some of its music online and one track that really stuck out to me was the Temple of Droplets’ theme. I was looking forward this dungeon my entire time with the game, and when I finally reach it, I can’t say I was disappointed. The Temple of Droplets — the game’s fourth dungeon — has been one of my favorite dungeons of the series for some time now. It’s my favorite…

Encountered after journeying through the swampy Castor Wilds and dangerous Wind Ruins, the Fortress of Winds is a surprisingly simple dungeon. Just in case anyone gets the wrong impression of my overall opinion on the dungeon from the first things I’m going to talk about, I’ll clarify it here: I enjoy the Fortress of Winds and I think it’s a good dungeon. I’m going to start this review off with my criticism though. The Fortress of Winds is very much…

Last week, despite saying that The Minish Cap has some of my favorite dungeons of the series, I said that Deepwood Shrine was a bit of an underwhelming first dungeon during my review. So, is the Cave of Flames the same way? No, definitely not. While the Cave of Flames is located at the end of the obnoxious Mt. Crenel climb — in my opinion a truly frustrating part of the game — the dungeon itself, set within a human…

Time to kick off the dungeon reviews for yet another game. The Minish Cap is one of my favorite Zelda games and has some of my favorite dungeons of the series — as I will get into in future reviews — but the game’s first dungeon is the one dungeon in the game that feels the most underwhelming. Some might even say it’s diminutive in performance, a pretty small-scale dungeon without much going for it. But it’s also a pretty…
