The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an open-world adventure game in the Zelda series by Nintendo for the Wii U and the Switch. This review is based on the Wii U version, but from what I have gathered about the Switch version without playing it personally, they are almost entirely the same so I’m going to assume most things apply to both.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is an HD remake on the Wii U of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, originally released on GameCube and Wii.

Legend of Zelda Stuff: Ball and Chain

Upon replaying The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess via the Wii U’s HD version, I found myself noticing all kinds of great things I didn’t appreciate years ago when I first played. I found this particular topic to be especially clever and perhaps even downright brilliant. So I’d like to take this time to talk about why I think the ball and chain is such a great item.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a Nintendo 3DS remake of the original Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. For this review I will be assuming you’ve either seen my review of the original, seen some other coverage of such, or have experienced it yourself like so many others. I’ll be focusing on this version’s changes as well as my first time experiences with the Master Quest mode.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is an action adventure game with open world elements for the Nintendo 3DS. This is a newer entry into the Zelda series, so by this point I’m going to assume you understand most of the basics of Zelda games. If you need a reference, check out some other sources first or check out my review on the first Legend of Zelda. That being said, this game plays like most Zelda games before it. The game is supposed to take place many years after A Link to the Past, which is why the overworld is so similar, but as far as the story goes you won’t need to have played A Link to the Past to get what’s going on. To put it simply, you play as a blacksmith’s apprentice that gets caught up in a villain’s schemes. The villain turns Zelda into a painting, as well as the seven sages of Hyrule. It’s your job to save them all and prevent the return of the evil king. This requires going between Hyrule and its parallel universe, Lorule. Can you save both kingdoms and the princess as well?
