It’s no secret by now that the Sheikah Slate runes will be making a triumphant return in Tears of the Kingdom this May, thanks to clips we’ve seen in the trailers released so far. It seems that for the foreseeable future, runes have become the primary method of progressing and solving puzzles, replacing items such as the hookshot from earlier titles. The question is: how will they be handled going forward? Unlike traditional games, where items are unlocked throughout the…

Making Princess Zelda a playable character has been a common request from Zelda fans for years now. In fact, when Skyward Sword was in development, the producers almost added on a second adventure that took us on Zelda’s journey to reawakening her memories as Hylia. So the idea of her being playable in the future doesn’t seem too far off. Seeing that she only appeared in Breath of the Wild through memories and during a few short scenes in the…

One of the reasons I stand by my opinion that the Wii U was a good console is because, at the time, it gave me access to Zelda games I had never played before. Growing up on home consoles, games like The Minish Cap, Spirit Tracks, and even the original The Legend of Zelda were games I was able to play because of the Virtual Console feature of the Wii U. The Switch, in repeating this concept via NSO, has expanded…

What is happening, Zelda fans?! Are you all ready for another exciting edition of Zelda Dungeon’s Caption Contest? We’ve been highlighting various Tears of the Kingdom screenshots the past several weeks, and I’m starting to realize a certain theme among the big batch of images that came out of the game’s latest trailer. Just about every promotional screenshot released by Nintendo last month features an enemy, antagonist, or threat of some kind, which makes sense given that they all came…

It’s the first day of Spring and you know what that means. The weather is getting warmer, the sun is out more, and everybody wants to put their responsibilities on hold to take in the bloom of the new season. Whether you’re working or in school, it’s the time of year to take some time off. One of the most popular ways to spend these Spring days is on vacation often in a tropical or otherwise seaside location away from…

After taking a break from the game last week, the Cast are back to finish off their discussion on The Minish Cap! This week, we dive into the numerous charming dungeons in the game, expand on our “less is more” mantra, talk about the bosses and items, and count just how many Darknuts you actually fight in Dark Hyrule Castle! We don’t see the dungeons eye to eye, so some negotiating might be in order! All this, PLUS we’re throwing…

One of the most exciting moments at the February 2023 Nintendo Direct was the announcement of Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games for the Nintendo Switch’s online service. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color games are (or will be) available with the regular online subscription while the Game Boy Advance games are available with the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. It is very exciting that a major portion of Nintendo Switch owners will have access…

It feels as though time is rushing forward in a mad dash towards spring. For me that means trying to sidestep as much southern U.S. pollen as possible while temperatures swing wildly towards freezing one day and summer temperatures the next, but for you that may mean getting past midterms, going on spring break, or just getting through another month of the daily grind. The march of time also brings us closer daily to the highly-anticipated release of Tears of…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone on ZeldaDungeon! Today is the day that people in many parts of the world get together, celebrate historical traditions of Irish culture, and be merry. There isn’t necessarily an appropriate cultural analogue in the Zelda franchise, but we do see some cultural celebrations like the Carnival of Time in Majora’s Mask. Likewise, Hyrule and the other lands in the series have occasionally featured the typical “watering-holes” associated with these types of celebrations. I’m sure when the world…

|| Previous Chapter || Next Chapter || Bongo Bongo had been sealed. At least he was for seventeen years. Impressive, considering the majority of the Sheikah clan died in the Civil War. But then, that’s another sad story… “Are you still with us? For Farore’s sake, speak, Mask Salesman.” I felt my reluctant body being dragged to standing. No more, I thought. No more, please. I need a lie down.     My right arm looped around a bony shoulder. A…
