The Legend of Zelda

Link, It’s Dangerous To Go Alone. So Take This Chicken.

Link, steeled for the quest ahead, rides into battle clutching the one thing that’s going to save his ass: a cucco. This was done by Paul Canavan, an artist we’ve actually featured here before. You can see more of his stuff here

Six Insane Zelda Speedruns

Summer Games Done Quick is over, but the crazy speedruns and insane moves will live on forever. I haven’t watched all the runs yet, but some of my absolute favorites are the Zelda games, which take some serious skill and precision to master like this. It’s amazing how these speedrunners know every single trick and…

The Moon from Majora’s Mask looks 100% crazier in Hyrule Warriors, just like all the characters that have been revealed so far.

Here’s Agitha, the bug collector girl from Twilight…

Zelda Ass-Kicker Gets Her Overdue Time In The Spotlight

Impa, one of the Zelda universe’s most under-appreciated badasses (at least in Sheikah form), is getting her due in the upcoming Hyrule Warriors Having only appeared in this guise in two Zelda games (Ocarina and Skyward Sword), she’s got some time to make up for. And by time, I mean killing.

Praise… the Moon? I can see where mintyfreshmango‘s Zelda and Dark Souls crossover is going. The Moon from Majora’s Mask would actually fit right in as a boss and the warriors of sunlight would find themselves in a tight corner really quickly. Zelda and Dark Souls by mintyfreshmangos [DeviantART] Dayshot is an image-based feature that…

The Future of Zelda

Last week at E3, I got to chat with the fine folks behind the next two Zelda games: the action spinoff Hyrule Warriors and the recently-announced open-world Zelda that will be out next year.

Zelda Boss Promises To Stop Overdoing Tutorials

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was, by most accounts, a very good game. It was also, by most accounts, excruciating until you could actually play it. See, the Wii’s second Zelda game is packed with introductions and tutorials, to the point where it takes four to five hours before you can actually start playing.…

The Legend of Zelda, Done In The Style of Game of Thrones

If Game of Thrones were set in the world of The Legend of Zelda, I reckon the intro to the show might look a bit like this. The way the sprites are animated by The Pixel Kingdom here is a really nice touch, yeah? I mean, look at this: So pretty. Video Game of Thrones:…

Some People Think Link Might Be A Girl In The New Zelda

While some people freak out about how cool the new open-world Zelda looks, there’s a segment of the fanbase that is currently debating one thing: could it be possible that Link is a girl?

New Zelda Wii U Screens Are Just, Ungh, Gorgeous

I know, we’ve already seen the demo in motion, but that didn’t afford us the luxury of gazing at HD stillness like these screens do. If Nintendo is on the level, and this is what the actual game can provide, then I am so far onto the hype train that I’m wearing one of those…

Fans of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda franchise and LEGO toys breathlessly waiting for the results of the LEGO Ideas Winter 2014 review results can exhale now — the results are in, and Link won’t be appearing in plastic brick form.
