In my book Zelda’s kind of a series of archetypes. It’s a fantasy world and story that, initially, was really only that. In the first Legend of Zelda game, the series had just been born and its debut wasn’t a plot-focused game in the slightest, so there wasn’t any lore to build off. What the first game built off, instead, were archetypes! Link himself is the best examples of this, as his character is nothing more than an archetype: He’s…

Zelda’s three confirmed timelines are unprecedented in the series; there has never been anything quite like them in the entire series’ history. We’ve known some of the games’ order according to their relation to each other, and we knew two timelines existed, but we certainly didn’t know where every game went on the entire timeline, nor that there would be a third one. With the last game having been an ultimate prequel to the entire series, and with Hyrule Historia…

Zelda’s been around for over 25 years now and, despite what some people have been going on about, really has no reason to stop now. I think most people would agree that there being a lot more Zelda in the coming years is a given. So now that we’re days away from a new year, I thought I’d ask you guys… what do you expect from Zelda from here on out? I’m asking this question both in terms of what…

Hey, do you remember these? You know, the big rocky underground places that appear in some Zelda games? Of course, by some games I mean, like, pretty much all of them. Hell, do you remember the original Legend of Zelda? The very first location you were supposed to visit was the cave where you get the sword. By caves, I’m talking about the Zelda tradition with them. In Zelda games caves are small sub areas that are used for a…

Fi. The amount of speculation about her has been high ever since she was first seen in leaked concept art from E3 2009, and it has done nothing but rocket skyward since then. It’s been suggested that she could be the Fairy Queen from The Wind Waker. People have theorized about how the features on her figure resemble that of the Master Sword, saying that she could somehow be a part of the sword itself. It’s even been proposed that…

Zelda is a very long-running game series. The original Legend of Zelda first came out way back in 1986 in Japan. Video games are still a growing medium. They’ve caught a lot more attention and favor as of late, but they still haven’t matured into being as mainstream as movies, at least in the US. Despite this, Zelda is an incredibly well-known name. With the possible exception of Mario, the Zelda series is probably the single most well-known face in…

Hey guys, got you another video about items in the Zelda games. This is a bit similar to the last one about bottles. It’s about Heart Pieces and Heart Containers, which might not sound like a terribly interesting subject. But there are some points of discussion, particularly about some Heart Piece oddities, and also I promise you that it’s amusing. Enjoy! What are your thoughts on Heart Pieces? Do you think some of the odder things about them aren’t worth…

So this video is about things I liked about Twilight Princess. Yes, finally! For all the times I’ve complained about the game and nitpicked it, they really are only nitpickings. The overall game is still excellent, way above the grade of most video games. I’ve only been holding it to ridiculous “Zelda standards”. So this video is dedicated to what I loved about Twilight Princess, and it’s one hell of a list. From the introduction of the game to the…

Hello guys, got a video discussion for you! It’s basically about Twilight Princess’ Ganondorf, how he was introduced to the plot, and more importantly what I think they should have done differently. More specifically, I go over this while keeping things roughly the same: Zant being the badguy and then bringing out Ganondorf at the end. So it’s not as much of me complaining about Twilight Princess than usual… I think. This one is something of a follow-up to the…
