Death in Hyrule

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

A grim title, but the experience of death, for most people is a grim thing. Be that the death of a valued family member, the death of a loved pet, or just a disaster in the world. All of these things are negative experiences in life, and we all mourn over these things different – [...]

Zant: A Story of Revenge

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Zant, for those that are unaware, is the second to last boss in Twilight Princess. Most people find his story to be in distaste, that Zant really turned out to be a disappointing character. Up until you find out his real story, he really seems to be one of the darkest characters in the entire [...]

Link Keller - The Silent Hero

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

This is my first “blog” here at Zelda Blog, and whether or not this is part of a series is yet to be seen, but for now, I’m just gonna talk about what’s on my  mind. Because after all, what are blogs for? =P

Voice Acting in the Legend of Zelda

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

But what would Zelda be [...]

Aside from the neverending shipping debates and the timeline debates, the biggest debate—what some would actually call… controversy… le gasp!—in the Zelda community is the whole concept of genre. It seems to be mankind’s incessant desire to classify things. From the whole taxonomy of life divided into kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species (or [...]

Shattering Your Heart All to Pieces

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

Were Link a pirate (which is quite arguably the case in Wind Waker), Link’s eyes would alight with fire whenever he were to find pieces-of-eight. Be that as it may, Link is not, and so Link is forced to content himself with pieces of heart instead. It’s a shame really; pieces-of-eight are so much more [...]

Much Ado about Release Dates

Saturday, October 8th, 2005

Goddess Rinoa already had an article about a similar topic, but I want to revisit this topic in a bit more depth. One of the fans of The Grand Adventures mailed me the other day with a question:
I know we’ve known about the delay for a long time and I know that there is nothing [...]
