Yes, we do book reviews. Are you listening, Viz, publisher of The Legend of Zelda manga?

The PhD-packing conglomerates have a lot to say about existentialism, but can they prove they’ve gotten their doctorates in Zelda theorizing?

The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy is an odd book to write about, because although I see theories and predictions in the form of forum posts and lengthy articles, it’s not often that such theories are amalgamated into one work and published en masse. It’s actually a real treat for someone like me to see that there is a real application for Zelda; I always wonder if the work and ideas we share on Zelda Universe have any real merit or meaning, or if we just sound like a bunch of rambling fanboys.

If anything, at least we know we’ve got some philosophers on our side, although they might be fanboys as well. But before I continue, I should take a moment to explain what The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy is.
