This means that when a new Zelda title is released, gamers pay extra special attention to it. Nintendo knows this. As such, series producer Eiji Aonuma has gone...
Can the 3DS become the console of Zelda?
With the advent of the eShop and the recent 3D remake of Ocarina of Time, 3DS owners with a soft spot for our beloved teen-in-green have plenty of options when it comes to purging Hyrule and it’s outlying realms from the forces of evil. Right now, no less than four Legend Of Zelda games are available on the handheld- and the 3DS’s backwards compatibility with the DS library adds two mo...
Kid that mows my lawn: “Ocarina is better than Majora”
The neighborhood boy that mows my lawn approached me after cutting my grass yesterday. He’s 14. “Have you ever played Majora’s Mask?” he asked me. “No,” I replied, it being one of only two Zeldas I’ve never played (the other being Link’s Awakening). “Man, it’s so annoying,” he countered. “You have to keep playing your flute wh...

Ocarina soundtrack arrives; blows mind.
If you registered a copy of Ocarina 3D quickly enough, you stood a good chance of guaranteeing a free copy of the game soundtrack. The CDs are shipping, and mine arrived this weekend. No complaints or nitpicks here: this is an extraordinarily perfect bonus. This is exactly what a game soundtrack CD should be, and it blows the pants off the disappointing Mario history soundtrack included with the M...
Eiji Aonuma wants to work on a new game, but not Zelda

Industry Gamers: Speaking of the personal side, do you wish at times that you could work on something other than Zelda? You’ve been sort of the go-to guy for the Zelda franchise for a long time now. Do you have a creative de...

Portal is undoubtedly one of the most innovative titles to come along this generation, but imagine if the portal gun was an item in the next Zelda title. That’s exactly what the fine folks Dorkly have done, giving Link the power of portals with hilarious results. I have always wanted to take my favorite items from certain franchises into others, and what better place to start than with the p...
