Hey everyone, it’s time for another Daily Debate and today’s focus is whether or not you would prefer to use the Harp of Ages, or the Rod of Seasons…

As many know at this point, Nintendo has seemed to remake quite a few Zelda games for both 3DS and Wii U. With Zelda U and Tri Force Heroes releasing in the future, who’s to say when the next remake will release? And to that, there’s a follow-up question- what will the next remake be? Would it be a remake of an older Zelda title, or a newer one? Is it of high-demand, or do you even care to see…

What is true love? We probably all have different answers, including those that may believe true love doesn’t exist. It’s always a tough question to answer because love takes many forms and can be easy to confuse with infatuation. It can be easy to confuse with other special connections as well, such as if you have a child with another person – there is a certain bond that will generally always be there, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true love. YouTuber ConnerTheWaffle decided to tackle true love in arguably the purest form of it – Link and Zelda’s continued relationship…

All well-learned Zelda fans know the story of Hyrule’s creation, and by extension, the Golden Goddesses that brought our beloved fantasy world to life thousands of years ago. Interestingly, the Goddesses typically go totally unseen, and almost totally unmentioned, in most of the series, despite their three sacred triangles being so prominent. They have, however been seen in human form a few times, possibly with direct connections to the original gods, but other than that, they remain a mystery. Perhaps…

In Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, there was a strange item that -depending on where Link obtained it- would give him a different companion for the rest of his journey.  This item was the Strange Flute.  The item gives Link the ability to meet one of three animal companions, which help you throughout the game (you actually need them to complete it, anyways).  Each animal has a different ability than the other, so they all have their uses…

The year of 2001 saw the release of two handheld Zelda titles: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. These two games were unique in many ways; the games featured settings and characters not seen anywhere else in the series, they connected to each other via a password system, and they were primarily developed by Capcom. While aspects of the Oracle games have survived in future titles, these games have not been revisited since they were released. Today, we ask if this pair of Zelda games should be expanded on, perhaps even as a full-fledged sub-series…

No matter how far away a new Zelda game is, or how little we know about the next entry in the series, thoughts and theories are always swirling in our minds. What will the next game be like? Will it be top-down or 3D? Will it be set in Hyrule or somewhere else? How in the world can we possibly know what will come next in the series? 

Welcome to a new set of articles designed to do just that: extrapolate on past Zelda games to inform us about potential future entries. To do this, I’m taking a close look at the Zelda timeline; in particular, each of the three eras: the Era of Decline, the Child Era, and the Adult Era. Why only look at those eras, and not the Unified Timeline from Skyward Sword to Ocarina of Time? I think it’s time to move the timeline forward and explore the future of the three different eras brought about by the events of Ocarina of Time. Let’s start this off with a look at the Era of Decline.

It has been known for a while now that Club Nintendo will be shutting down this summer. March 31st was the last day to register your Club Nintendo pins; but Nintendo has one last gift to give to their loyal customers.

If you reached the Platinum or Gold tier before April 1st, you are eligible to get one free game from Club Nintendo…

The Zelda series is iconic for many reasons. Maybe it’s the puzzles you love, or the expansive worlds you get to adventure in. Perhaps you love exploring dungeons, or the sense of reward you get from opening a treasure chest. And then there’s the music. Many Zelda songs have become iconic in fans’ memories. Whether it’s that haunting opening theme of Ocarina of Time, or the Clock Town theme in Majora’s Mask, there’s something about the music in Zelda games that sticks with you long after you’re finished playing…

Today marks the 14th birthday of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons! These games were Nintendo’s first and only attempt in releasing two separate but interconnected games on the same day, each with their own distinct gameplay experience. So in honor of these games’ birthday and continued legacy, we’re going to decide which of these two is the better game…
