Let's give a man his dues! For over a decade now, there's been a kinda-famous song about Zelda on the internet that many people believe was written and performed by System of a Down. More »

Nathan Drake has recently purchased a new MacBook, after talking to several of his friends about it for several weeks. He has done more discussing the MacBook than he has actually using it, and secretly he enjoys causing the icons to sort of ‘pop' along the bar at the bottom of the screen more than he enjoys operating the various applications that have come with his new Apple experience.

So Nintendo has, more or less, settled on some semblance of an official timeline for the Legend of Zelda series. You may have thoughts/concerns about this. You also probably don't have as many as reader Zach does, though. More »

Hey, look! It's Link—who starred in the GameCube version of SoulCalibur II—making a triumphant return to the Stage of History along with that girl he's always having to rescue. The folks at NowGamercrafted Nintendo's iconic maiden-and-warrior pair with the character creator in Namco's just-released fighting game, and then have Princess Zelda and her eternal savior Link go toe-to-toe. Zelda's based off of new character Viola and Link is patterned after the game's cover boy Patroklos. The fight's even for a while but Zelda handily kicks Link's ass. There's only one thing to say about that: "Well, excuuuuse me, Princess!" More »

The irrepressible Dan Hipp inadvertently spoils the ending of the Zelda movie that never existed with this epic image. That or it's suggesting that the Wii U can handle a lot more enemies on-screen than the Wii could. A lot more. More »

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is perhaps the most compelling argument yet for "Video Game as Concert Piece." As a game, it is a smartly designed interlocking series of puzzles, an ever-more-complex world filled with hidden secrets and challenging combat that unfolds with a uniquely Zelda-y sense of joyous excavation. But as a concert piece... oh, boy. More »
