Breath of the Wild has one of the most interesting soundtracks in the Zelda series. While some fans have criticized how music was implemented within the game (myself being one of them), that should not take away from the quality of the music itself.  There are an assortment of wonderful new and returning melodies for players to enjoy across their long adventure. Compared to other Zelda games, Breath of the Wild actually has one of the more extensive soundtracks in…

||  Part Forty-Four  ||  Part Forty-Six  || Part Forty-Five They followed Sagesse out of his office and through the library, heading towards the main hall, and eventually into the Chamber of Sages. As they walked, Zelda looked around, remembering Osmond’s enthusiasm about the library in the Temple of Time. “Of all the places I’ve been able to see or go,” he had said one evening, “there is nowhere as grand as the places the library can take us.” “Is that…

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, most commonly abbreviated as E3, is arguably the largest annual gaming event, as well as the most anticipated. Over the course of several days and multiple presentations, video game companies show off new and upcoming hardware and software for the world to see. Nintendo in particular has gotten in the habit of hosting a virtual presentation akin to their Direct events during E3. This presentation is typically about 45-minutes long and has a particular reputation for…

SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF BREATH OF THE WILD Breath of the Wild is one of the Zelda games I enjoy discussing the most. Because of how different Breath of the Wild‘s story structure and gameplay mechanics are compared to previous 3D Zelda games, it is easy to dive into the pros and cons of the new approach. While I find new gameplay mechanics like runes and paragliding very engaging, I have mixed emotions about the structure of the story…

The finer points of game development can be difficult and thankless. When enjoying a finished project, it’s easy to forget that most video games require enormous amounts of technical work from large teams of people, and that every step in the right direction can create new problems elsewhere. Sometimes even the smallest details can take mountains of time and effort to be correctly realized, even for experienced teams with robust budgets. It seems the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity team at Koei…

Nintendo has never been afraid of getting weird in the name of innovation. Leveraging the support of a dedicated fanbase has allowed them to take hardware and software risks that other companies simply wont. While they’ve occasionally asked for too much adjustment for ultimately fleeting gimmicks, their willingness to experiment has led to a variety of tangible benefits for many players. Most notable have been the non-traditional control methods that Nintendo has implemented in their recent systems. Many of their…

It seems Koei Tecmo found a winning formula when they brought Musou-style action to the world of Breath of the Wild. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has maintained strong sales since its release in November 2020, having become the highest selling Warriors title after less than a week on the market and shipping over 3.7 million units in its first six months. And with the release of the game’s Expansion Pass this past year, Age of Calamity‘s sales dominance has…

Happy New Year everyone and Happy (supposedly) Breath of the Wild 2 year! The sequel to Breath of the Wild has been teased for quite some time now and everyone has been anxious for some more Zelda news from Nintendo. Last year Nintendo gave us some small, but much wanted updates along with an expected release date of 2022 for the highly anticipated game. Now that 2022 is finally upon us I think it’s time to take a step back…

Growing up playing Mario Kart: Double Dash!! with my friends instilled me with a competitive spirit and enjoyment for racing games in general, including many of the racing minigames in the Zelda series. From the race versus Ingo at Lon Lon Ranch in Ocarina of Time to the snowboarding race against Yeto and Yeta across Snowpeak Province in Twilight Princess, these minigames test your reflexes, coordination, and timing. And if they happened to have a valuable function in the story…

Happy New Year everyone! To kick off 2022, we’re looking back at the year that was and then up ahead at the year that is to come! Was Zelda’s 35th anniversary really that bad? Do we think Breath of the Wild 2 is still on track to release in 2022? What was the turning point in 2021 where fans started to get grumpy with the anniversary? Are hopes for a mobile Zelda game officially dead? Is Minish Cap headed to…
