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.

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,…

The Legend Of Zelda Was Born 30 Years Ago Today On An Ugly Little Floppy Disk

On February 21, 1986, Japan got its first taste of the magical land of Hyrule, though not on the famous gold cartridge Western gamers are familiar with. In early 1986, while gamers in the U.S. were getting acquainted with the Western version of Nintendo’s Family Computer (Famicom), the Japanese original got an upgrade in the…

Maru’s boyfriend Paladinhad, until last week, never cosplayed in his life. Time for that to change. The pair (Maru is a cosplay vet) went together as Link and Zelda to AniRevo Winter 2016 in Vancouver, and looked fantastic Pic by Oshley Photography

Pretty neat isometric 3D redesign of Link and the original The Legend of Zelda by French artist Sir Carma. It looks similar to 3D Dot Game Heroes, but that’s absolutely not a bad thing. To contact the author of this post, write to: [email protected]

A Brief Tour Of The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

While most of us have to wait until March to play The Twilight Princess HD on Wii U, Nintendo Minute’s Kit and Krysta have been there, done that and posted nearly 10 minutes of gameplay.

Look At This Legend Of Zelda Action Figure

For over three years, Figma’s Skyward Sword effort has been the best Zelda figure you could buy. In 2016, there’s a new challenger approaching. This new Figma figure for classic Link (specifically, his Link Between Worlds version) looks incredible. For the hair and the outift and the boots, yes, but also those accessories. He even…
