With A Link Between Worlds still buzzing in everyone’s minds, this week’s comic comes from Brawl in the Family and features Ravio’s Shop! In the game we only see Link buying or renting items from Ravio, but who’s to say that other creatures don’t also use Ravio’s service? This time a moblin plays the role of the customer, and you might be able to guess how he reacts to the steep prices. Hit the jump to read the comic!

In every series there are running jokes, gags and phrases that pop up every now and then. From Homer’s “doh” in The Simpsons to  Sheldon’s *knock, knock, knock* “Penny” in The Big Bang Theory, certain things become synonymous with the franchise and games are no exception. With a series as long running as The Legend of Zelda it’s only natural that it would pick up a few, too. Some Zelda games have references to other franchises, like bob-ombs and chain…

Halloween’s just around the corner, so I thought it was a good time to tackle a certain lovely little article topic: The top examples of “nightmare fuel” in Zelda. While this term can have a broader meaning that applies to anything scary or nightmare-inducing, I’m going with a specific version. In short, I’m covering things that were never meant to be scary, or scary to this degree, but certainly become highly disturbing when you think about them. I suppose you…

Hi fellow Zelda Dungeon fanatics and welcome, once again, to another Timeshift Thursday feature! This week I’m looking forward to sharing and discussing a climatic battle scene with you from Link’s latest adventure, Skyward Sword, in which I’ve found the combat before the corresponding final battle to be a richer, more difficult experience. Because Skyward Sword doesn’t include the most amount of highlights for a Zelda game, in my opinion, I haven’t leaned toward writing a feature revolving around the…

Welcome to Majora’s Memes, where we bring you memetic madness weekly! Like scouring Hyrule Field for bushes that hopefully contain Rupees or bombs or arrows, we search the Internet for Zelda-related laughs. And wow, you guys really stepped it up this week! We have a lot of memes contributed by users this week, so yellow rupees will be distributed to blue, Tito Burgess, Merv?, smallchocolatebar, RubyDragonCat, and Link. With the help of these contributions, this may very well be the…

Amongst all this jazz we’ve been hearing about the game – things like graphics, story and Wii Motion Plus – I managed to hear some talk about the Skyward Sword enemies. Enemies are an important aspect to the game, especially if you consider the new combat with the Motion Plus controls, and the focus on it. Furthermore, besides the gigantic scorpion, we have also not heard much talk about the game’s bosses. Then there’s the main villain. So this article…

Have you ever wondered why so many Zelda bosses and enemies have similar prefixes or suffixes? Think about it, we’ve got a Moblin, Bokoblin, Miniblin, Bulblin, and the newest addition from Spirit Tracks, a Big Blin. Why are they always referred to as ‘Blin’? What the heck is a Blin anyway? It would seem to be based off enemies that could be classified as goblins. I personally don’t see what is so goblin like in a bulblin. There are a…
