The Unsolved Mysteries That Define The Legend of Zelda (Part 2)
The Legend of Zelda never spells out the rules of its world. It doesn’t tell you who you are, what you’re involved in, or how everything connects. Instead, you’re dropped into places that feel lived-in, full of ruins, legends, and problems that started long before Link showed up. You always feel like you’re joining a…

Oracle of Ages Is Zelda’s Ultimate Puzzle Game
When people talk about hard Zelda games, the conversation usually drifts toward combat difficulty, intimidating bosses, or late-game spikes that demand perfect execution.

Oracle of Ages Did Time Travel Better Than Ocarina of Time
Time travel is probably the most defining idea in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For an entire generation of players, it is the game’s identity.

What modern Zelda games can learn from A Link To the Past
For the past decade, The Legend of Zelda has been defined by freedom. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom fundamentally changed how Zelda thinks about the player.

Why the First 4 Zelda Games Hit Different
Before The Legend of Zelda became a formula, it was a feeling.A feeling of mystery. Of danger. Of standing alone in a world that didn’t explain itself. There was no map, no tutorial, no glowing marker telling you where to go. Just a sword, a cave, and the question that every player had to answer…

We Were Wrong About The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
There’s a particular kind of excitement that only comes around once every few years — the sort that builds slowly, quietly, and then erupts into something electric the closer you get to release day. Tears of the Kingdom felt like this. A sequel to Breath of the Wild. A return to Hyrule. A chance to…

I Was Wrong About Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment
I’ll be honest — when Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was first announced, I didn’t care. At all. I saw the trailer, the endless explosions, the screen filled with enemies flying everywhere, and I thought, “Oh great… another one of these.” I wasn’t impressed. The first Hyrule Warriors didn’t really do much for me, and…
