The Legend of Zelda Series Tributes by The-Silver-Flame
Deviantartist The-Silver-Flame has made some really cool tribute pieces for many of the The Legend of Zelda games. Most of them turned out pretty well, I like the landscapes of Wind Waker and A Link to the Past, and the way he did the Hylian symbol for Skyward Sword. I also really like how the …

Really Freakin’ Clever: The Emotional Payoff of Hyrule Castle
Another great analysis, this time focusing on an aspect I think a lot of game designers ignore: that storytelling and graphics are important to game design. In this case, the ominous rain, the scripted death of the old man who helped you, all encourage the player to keep going. Even with that though, nothing beats …

Did You Know This About Zelda Part 3 – Temples! Temples Everywhere
Some more interesting Zelda trivia, some well-known and some pretty obscure. The whole temples things in Ocarina of Time is pretty interesting, especially since the Wind temple would be made later in Wind Waker. Eventually Nintendo is going to get enough of these cut ideas to make an entire Zelda game together. It would be …

Timeline: The Legend of Zelda – Exploring the History of the Multiple Timelines
Timeline The Legend of Zelda has one of the best, and most intricate, lore in video game history. Maybe not Elder Scrolls series, but it’s up there, being able to keep each story relatively self-contained but still make it part of a story that spans thousands of years. It’s a game series that never laid …

The Triforce of Bass Drops Fresh Beats to Classic Zelda Tunes
Man, I love these kinds of remixes. Sometimes a remix can take too much away from the original and not be different enough, but when you get something in between, you have this beautiful new way of listening to the song. Take Fi’s theme from Skyward Sword. Usually very calm, very sad. This mix keeps …

Soothing String Cover of A Link to the Past’s Title Theme
This brings back so many memories. A Link to the Past had some really great music, no matter if it’s older like the song this game is from, or from recent titles like Skyward Sword.

See History Unfold with This 1993 British Nintendo Commercial
It’s almost weird to see someone talk about games like Super Mario World and 3 and A Link to the Past without referring to them as classic video games. It would be like in 30 years, hearing younger people talk about Skyrim and saying that it is a classic, the pinnacle of what gaming could …

A Link to the Past Animated — Hopefully With Less “Well, Excuse Me Princess”
The Legend of Zelda, comics, and animation. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect video game fan-based project. But Aeipathy Industries accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical X. Thus Zeldamotion was born. Okay, the reference has overstayed it’s welcome, but yes, Zeldamotion is a real thing. Or rather it …

Still Can’t Wait for the Zelda Metal Album? Well Here’s a Dark World Taste Of It!
Youtuber Jimmeh02 (AKA Jim Cook) has been posting a lot of videos of his upcoming metal themed Zelda tribute and I can’t wait for it. July 1st feels so close and yet so far away. This theme already starts out epic and playing it on an electric guitar in this style just makes it even …

Tutorials of Zelda: Learning and Playing
This is an article. Not one I would call good or one I would call bad, but definitely an article talking about the increasing length of time it takes players to actually “play” the game in Zelda games. Give it a quick read. The author compares the time it takes to get to the …

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Cover
It’s every song from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in one awesome medley. Sometimes, the fan really do impress me without how much work they put into some of these projects.
