Nintendo Switch is a haven for Zelda-clones

Nintendo Switch is a haven for Zelda-clones

Editor Note: The following article originally appeared on Switch Era and has been published here with their permission. Zelda-clones are my second-favorite genre, right behind real  Zelda titles. The Nintendo Switch has been getting a ton of awesome indie games, and among them are some fantastic Zelda-clones. Nintendo probably won't be releasing a 2D Zelda on Switch anytime soon, but that's fine -- these...

The Legend of Zelda is not fit for Smartphones

The Legend of Zelda is not fit for Smartphones

As we turn our attention to the recent Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp news, it’s important to note that every major Nintendo franchise has seen its own release on smartphones except for one: The Legend of Zelda. This begs the question of whether or not we will ever see a Zelda title on smartphones. In short, I don’t believe so…at least not in its current format. Find out why after the break...

Collecting My Thoughts on the Zelda 30th Anniversary Music Collection

In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda last year, Nintendo made a collection of some of the best music from the series, and released it on a two-disc set. This Game Music Collection, not to be confused with the 30th Anniversary Concert, released in Japan on September 28th, but I recently found that it had migrated to Amazon for a rather reasonable price of $40. The collection comes with some beaut...

Back to the Drawing Board

With the latest offering in The Legend of Zelda franchise just getting settled down, it’s time for the development team to start moving forward, or maybe in terms of the timeline, backwards. While Breath of the Wild is surely going to remain a long time staple in the Zelda series, solely because it offers so much more than any previous entry, the team does need to move on. The issue is, how do you move forward fro...

A Promising Switch

The details we have all been waiting for have been revealed. The Switch will be releasing in March, and for a rather reasonable price that will put it in direct competition with the current console choices. There are a few factors that will lead to the Switch’s success with the gaming market, and it doesn’t just have to do with the software...

The Legend of Zelda: Mobile Edition - A Hit in the Making!

Nintendo is moving into the mobile stratosphere with the recent announcement of their partnership with mobile gaming giant DeNa. This news comes to my surprise - I never imagined Nintendo developing mobile games; however, I am all for seeing what they can do in this realm. One of the first things that come to mind is the Legend of Zelda on mobile. Would it be good or bad?

Death in the Legend of Zelda

Death in the Legend of Zelda

Death is an event that every person will eventually have in common - an inescapable fate that we must all succumb to. We, as gamers, might possibly understand death in a different way from other people. We play video games where beings are being shot, sliced, burned, etc. Literally all of the above. It may not be as present in our lives as, say, a soldier, but it is definitely present in our obvious hobby, be it merely ...

The Legend of Zelda Storyline - Anything but Bland

The Legend of Zelda Storyline - Anything but Bland

A few weeks or so ago, I was lucky enough to chance upon a very well-written article on the Legend of Zelda. The article included, essentially, the great things about Zelda, and the things in Zelda that aren't that big of a deal. I highly disagreed with one of the article points: the Legend of Zelda has an okay story, not a great one. This really didn't sit well with me. I'm a bit of an obsessive person, so when something...
