The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild E3 Demo Was Hiding Secret Messages

The next Zelda game isn’t out yet, but eagle-eyed players are already finding all sorts of cool easter eggs. Yesterday, we brought your attention to some of the references and callbacks that Breath of the Wild makes toward older Zelda games. Today, we bring you a discovery made by neoGAFFER RagnarokX, who noticed that the…

Fans Are Already Trying To Place Breath of the Wild On The Zelda Timeline 

So far, we’ve only seen a small slice of the newest Zelda game—but that’s enough to get some fans speculating wildly. As many of you already know, there is such a thing as a “Zelda timeline,” and it chronicles the different parallel Zeldaverses that currently exist, post-Ocarina of Time. With a new game on the…

Our First Look At The New Zelda, Breath of the Wild

Nintendo today revealed a bunch of new information on their next Zelda game, due to come out on NX and Wii U next year. The presentation opened with a brand new trailer voiced by a woman (presumably Zelda) telling Link to open his eyes. Lots of shots of vast open world areas, and we see…

Watch Nintendo’s Treehouse Live, Right Here

Ready to learn about the next Zelda? In lieu of a Nintendo Direct this year, the big N is running a Treehouse stream that’s dedicated to Link’s new adventure, among other games. Let’s watch!

Check out this new official Legend of Zelda artwork—will we be able to rock climb in the upcoming Wii U game? That’d be awesome. (Via Zelda’s Amazon page.) Here’s some other recent artwork, from last week:

If Future Link Gets Sick of Navi, He Can Just Remove Her Batteries

In the far future depicted in this fan art, Link likely has an easier time dealing with Navi’s nagging. Who is now a robot. That can most likely be turned off. Isn’t the future great? Drone Navi and Future Link are the products of the imagination of Magnus Norén, an artist from Sweden. Here they…

The New Legend of Zelda Game Is Delayed to 2017

After being delayed from its original 2015 release date, the new upcoming Zelda game won’t make this year, either. Nintendo announced today that the game is now scheduled for 2017. In a financial report released today, Nintendo has the upcoming Zelda game slated for 2017 in Japan, North America, and Europe. The Legend of Zelda…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (That’s a great Zelda ReDead from kingofchaos7)

Still Dreaming Of An Ocarina Of Time Remake

Look, it’s fine to remake Zelda games for the 3DS, but in 2016 when people hear the word “remake”, they want a remake. So the next time we get an Ocarina of Time re-release from Nintendo, hopefully it looks something like this. We’ve seen plenty of CryZENx’s Unreal Engine work here on Kotaku before, and…

The Zelda CD-i Games, Remade In 3D

The HD remakes no one ever asked for. Back in the 90s, not every Legend of Zelda game was made by Nintendo: The games for the Philips CD-i, for example, were developed by others and, well, they were a bit disappointing The world should forget that Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand…

Nintendo’s asked the makers of that lovely 3D Legend of Zelda tribute game to pull it down. Over on their Facebook page, the developers say that they’re pulling any copyrighted material from the release and making the code available for folks to learn from.

A 3D Legend Of Zelda Tribute You Can Play In Your Browser

Or at least while it lasts. A pair going by Scott and Mike are well on their way to creating a playable voxel-based The Legend of Zelda in honor of the game’s 30th anniversary. Hosted at Zelda30Tribute.com (via Nintendo Life), the fan recreation is built entirely in WebGL, mixing 3D voxels with the music, sound…

Everybody’s favorite seagull wannabe, Marin joins the cast of Hyrule Warriors on Wii U and 3DS later this year in the Link’s Awakening DLC pack. Squawk!

The Legend of Zelda As Renaissance Art

Interesting concept with an awesome execution. Artist Ástor Alexander made some Zelda fan-art, inspired by 17th century art, and put some of the series’ characters in the role of Renaissance figures. That’s Ganon, Zant and Midna in the top pic, posing as strangers who lived hundreds of years ago. And below is Link with his…

Some Very Fancy Legend Of Zelda Cosplay

This is…well, let’s say it’s a bit more dedicated than your average Zelda cosplay. This Link shoot went all out, from the horse to the props to the location. Even the song was made just for this occasion, a remix of the Zelda theme by Aurelia XO and Rekcahdam Cosplay by Tanya Istel and Cosnavi

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Is Better Than I Remembered

The beginning of my least favorite Zelda game makes a much better impression the second time around. It probably helps if you haven’t played it in nine years. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is an interesting time capsule that gives me a sense of where Nintendo’s great franchise was a decade ago while exhibiting…

That Time A Zelda Trailer Supposedly Made Grown Men Cry

Few game reveals are more anticipated a brand-new Legend of Zelda game, but nothing touches the intense reaction Twilight Princess generated at E3 2004. It’s common for game companies to stuff their press conferences full of employees. These are the people who are happily clapping for every announcement, big or small. But at Nintendo events,…
