    The Timeline Where Link Lost Everything

    There’s a version of Zelda’s history most players never really see. It doesn’t begin with triumph or a sealed evil. Instead, it starts with something different: failure.

    The Underrated Brilliance of Zelda Oracle of Seasons

    For a long time, Oracle of Seasons held an odd place in Zelda history. It lacked the acclaim of A Link to the Past or Link’s Awakening.
