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…

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…

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,…
