Koume and Kotake, known collectively as Twinrova, are interesting characters in the world of Zelda. From Ocarina of Time to the Oracle games, they acted sort like the Kamek to the world of Hyrule, magic assistants to the main antagonist. Unfortunately, the two witches did not end up having the kind of permeance in the…
I hate desert regions in 3D video games. Yes, even in Zelda games. It’s a completely personal choice for me. I think it’s hard to make a vast, open area like that very interesting. I mean, that’s the whole point of a desert, right? It’s supposed to be a vast, open, empty area. It’s, as…
In the beginning, the Three Golden Goddesses — Din, Nayru and Farore — descended upon the chaos before Hyrule. Din, the Goddess of Power, used her flame to create the red earth. Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, washed her knowledge down to the earth and created the spirits of law. Lastly, Farore, the Goddess of…

The Legend of Zelda series has a rich history spanning multiple decades, with each installment adding new layers to the lore and gameplay. While many of these games have stood the test of time, several titles could benefit from the remaster treatment. Whether it’s to update the graphics, improve gameplay mechanics, or introduce new features,…

AbleGamers is an amazing organization whose mission is “Creating opportunities that enable play in order to combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.” Founded in 2004…

The games are The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. This marks the first time these games have been widely available since their inclusion on the…
While mythological inspirations are nothing new when it comes to the names of Zelda characters, General Onox from Oracle of Seasons has a rather surprising one. The General’s Japanese name is “Gorgon”, a name he shares with the snake-haired Gorgon sisters from Greek myth, including the legendary Medusa. While Onox’s relation to the creatures of…
As easy as it is to be insanely excited by a new Zelda trailer, and a bunch of incredible classics coming to Switch, there were a few other things talked about during the recent Nintendo Direct. So put down the magnifying glass and stereo headphones from your Tears of the Kingdom trailer diving and enjoy…

The most famous Legend of Zelda developers, Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, are household names amongst fans. Takashi Tezuka, the co-creator of the series, is well known, too. But there are many lesser-known figures who have had a deep impact on the Zelda series. Yoichi Yamada is one such hidden figure. The first Zelda title…
Link has been aided by many sidekicks throughout the adventures in The Legend of Zelda, and not all of them have walked on two legs.

Hot take alert: The Moblins are secretly the main antagonists of the 2D Zelda games. Well, at least a few of them are. In Link’s Awakening and the Oracle games, they are pig-like kidnappers who rally around some sort of king or gang leader. They often pose a bigger threat to the people of Labrynna…
The time between mainstream Legend of Zelda game releases has continued to lengthen in the past decades, and it seems that it is due to Nintendo’s need for more time to develop their games than in the past. Plenty of fans are willing to wait as long as Nintendo needs for new games if they…
Recently, I’ve been going on a binge with Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. It’s pretty much all that I write about anymore. In fact, I have been so annoying about it in our Columns chat group that one fellow writer has started playing the games for the first time and another member added…
