The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Almost Had Portals Before Portal
2.11.2021
If you took a portal to an alternate universe, you might find yourself living in a timeline where The Legend of Zelda, not Portal, popularized the use of live portals in video games. As spotted by VGC, ex-Nintendo dev Giles Goddard recently showed off an early tech demo of The Legend of Zelda:...
Majora’s Mask Is A Masterpiece Of Existential Horror
29.10.2021
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is that horrifying moon. It’s ominous, always smiling, a reminder that death is an inevitability for everyone. It lingers in the background, like a shadow against a wall, waiting to strike. If, after three days...

26.10.2021
Nintendo 64 games finally became officially playable on Nintendo Switch Online last night and they run...less than stellar.

Rampaging Link Fights A Lynel, Guardian, And Hynox At Once In BotW
18.10.2021
Have you ever wanted to see a young, blonde twink have a no-good, very bad day? Then boy do I have the game and video for you, as someone has managed to get Link to fight a Hynox, Lynel, and multiple Guardians, at the same time in Breath of the Wild. This, to me, sounds like a terribly stressful...
You’ll Have To Pay More Than Double For Switch Online If You Want N64 Games
15.10.2021
In September, Nintendo announced that it would make N64 games available as part of its Nintendo Switch Online service. At the time, Nintendo withheld the pricing info, leading some to speculate about how steep it could be. Today, we get our answer. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack (official...
It's 2021, And Breath Of The Wild Is Finally Playable In Arabic
12.10.2021
Depending on how you count it and break down the regional differences, Arabic is the fifth most-spoken language on Earth. And yet until very recently, Arabic speakers had no way of officially playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a game released in 2017, in their native tongue.Read more
Pokémon Legends: Arceus Is Clearly Not Going To Be Open-World
7.10.2021
Since the first trailer for Pokémon Legends: Arceus arrived back in February, the game’s vast open areas and rolling green hills have drawn comparison to Breath of the Wild. While the idea of a massive open-world version of the ancient Sinnoh region, filled with Pokémon to play with, sounds like...
Nintendo Deletes Horny Tweet
4.10.2021
I don’t know what to say so I’ll just start with the facts. Nintendo, through its France office, tweeted an image over the weekend of Metal Gear’s Snake looking at Samus Aran from Metroid’s ass. A couple hours later it then deleted the tweet. Now we are left to pick up the pieces.Read more
Breath Of The Wild Player Completes Amazing ‘Minimalist’ Run In Five Hours
29.9.2021
When it comes to cool feats in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you probably think you’ve seen it all. You’ve caught the speedrunners and Korok seed completionists. You’ve seen someone, or perhaps many someones, run essentially naked up to Calamity Ganon’s throne and defeat...
Wonderbox Is Like Zelda Meets Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker
27.9.2021
I really enjoyed the Captain Toad mini-games in this year’s expanded Switch version of Super Mario 3D World; they gave my mind a welcome reprieve from the frustration of navigating the main adventure’s floaty, 3D platforming. I know Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker has long been a thing, and while...
What Deathloop Gets Right And Wrong About Time Loops
24.9.2021
Deathloop is the latest game to play around with time but it’s far from the only one. This summer’s divisive indie game 12 Minutes also centered around a repeating time loop, as have many other games, ranging from the star-charting Outer Wilds to the Nintendo 64 classic The Legend of Zelda:...
You Can't Make Me Use The N64 Controller Again, Nintendo
24.9.2021
One of Nintendo’s cuter little announcements during the latest Direct was that, with N64 games coming soon to the system, the company will also start selling recreations of the console’s controller for you to play them on.Read more
Action Game Shows BOTW Up, Has A Great Weapon Durability System
20.9.2021
Weapon durability in video games carries a semblance of realism, illustrating that nothing lasts forever no matter how well it’s built. Still, having my shiny new sword break in something like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is some bullshit. It not only disrupts game flow when I’m pulling...
‘Two Jawas In A Trenchcoat’ Is My New Favorite Star Wars Character
16.9.2021
Star Wars: Hunters is an upcoming arena brawler launching on Nintendo Switch as well as iOS and Android devices sometime next year. But more importantly, it’s also the vehicle for my new favorite Star Wars character of all time: two Jawas in a trenchcoat.Read more
The Nintendo GameCube Is Now Twenty Years Old
14.9.2021
On September 14, 2001, the GameCube first went on sale for the first time in Japan. Two months later, on November 18, the console was released in North America. Can you believe it’s been twenty years? Facing off against the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox, the GameCube was the first Nintendo console...
New Glitch Could 'Break' BOTW Wide Open, Speedrunners Say
7.9.2021
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the gift that keeps on giving. Though Nintendo’s open-world extravaganza is well over four years old by now, players are still finding new ways to break the game at the altar of entertainment. Case in point: Just this weekend, BotW speedrunner...
Somehow We’re Still Learning New Things About BotW In 2021
1.9.2021
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the greatest game ever made (according to me, Renata), is driven by dozens of interlocking systems and physics interactions. It is a modern marvel of craft and design. Which also means that it breaks in some pretty tremendous ways when you push those...
Six Hours With Garden Story, A Zelda-Like For The Stardew Crowd
30.8.2021
When I first watched the trailer for Garden Story, I was reminded of one of my favorite Game Boy Advance games from my childhood. I wasn’t given much money as a kid, so I would stand at the GameStop demo booth and play The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap for hours on end. I wanted Garden Story...
13 Years Later, Fan Gets Tricky Zelda Record In Smash Bros.
25.8.2021
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the most frequently, and thoroughly, speedrun games on the planet. Having been released almost 25 years ago, the game has been explored to death, and yet gamers find a way. There was one version of Ocarina of Time left undefeated for 13 years: the five...
