Breath of the Wild Helped Me Beat The Legend of Zelda’s Second Quest

Report: Nintendo Is Bringing The Legend of Zelda To Smartphones

Nintendo’s beloved Zelda series is headed to smartphones, states The Wall Street Journal in an unconfirmed report.

Princess Zelda Cosplay Walked Straight Out Of Breath Of The Wild

This Princess Zelda cosplay by LayzeMichelle gets better the closer you look.

The Zelda Escape Room Is A Little Disappointing (And Not Really An Escape Room)

When I first heard that there was a Zelda escape room coming to the United States, I imagined a labyrinth of elaborate puzzles, growing more challenging and complicated with each subsequent chamber.

Guy Turns His Zelda: Breath of the Wild Photos Into A Book

You can take a lot of nice photos in Breath of the Wild, but really, what can you do with them? Share them with friends, I guess, but they don’t really care, they’ve seen your horse 100 times before. NV/Haru had a better idea: turn them into a book. It’s not big, it’s not glossy…

Making Zelda’s Biggest Enemies Fight Each Other

Here is a fun thing to do next time you’re running around Zelda with nothing to do: try and make the big guys kill each other. That’s what Dorkly did in this video, doing a lot of mundane dragging and leading to lure bad guys like Guardians and Talus into the same space then trying…
