One of the most famous video games of all time, and arguably one of the most important and influential, is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Sitting at the very top of many players' lists of favourite games, Ocarina of Time is one of those titles that really is a 'must-play' experience, partly thanks to that level of hype...
News Hands Up, Who Needs A Pair Of These Custom Zelda Game Boy Trainers?
"Fresh" as the kids might say
It's safe to say that we're pretty huge Legend of Zelda fans here at Nintendo Life, so much so that we'd happily go out and about wearing our favourite hoodies, backpacks, or t-shirts featuring our favourite Hyrule characters. Taking things up a notch, though, are these pair of custom trainers featuring a particularly...
Video Check Out Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Running At 60fps And Without Cel Shading
An interesting change
Throughout the Legend of Zelda series, and especially with the more recent entries to the franchise, each instalment's art direction has been a real focal point for discussion and has given each game their own, unique identity. Breath of the Wild was no different; seeing Hyrule in its cel-shaded guise feels so right, even for...
Rumour Link's Awakening Might Not Be The Only Zelda Game Released In 2019
Is another 2D one on the way?
The Switch remake of the Game Boy classic Link's Awakening might not be the only Zelda game we receive this year, according to a new rumour doing the rounds on the internet. An apparent leaker over on GameFAQs, known as Vergeben, claims another Zelda game for Switch is in development alongside the upcoming outing
News Legend Of Zelda Concert CD And Blu-Ray Available To Order Now
Treat your ears and eyes
Japan often plays hosts to incredible Legend of Zelda concerts featuring fully orchestrated performances of beautiful pieces from the series' history. Naturally, it'd be pretty expensive to fly over there and experience one first hand, but this new CD and blu-ray release might just do the trick. Available with international...
News This Fan-Made Effort Has Us Dreaming Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild LEGO
Bricktastic
If you can think of a hugely popular franchise, chances are that there's a LEGO set out there based on its worlds and characters. That is, apart from anything Nintendo-related; the very idea of Mario and Zelda sets are enough to get any fan excited and willing to throw money at them, but Nintendo has never allowed its IP to make the...
Random Soulja Boy Raps About Zelda, Doesn't Know What A Rupee Is
Green diamonds?
Infamous Rapper DeAndre "Soulja Boy" Cortez Way has a rather complex relationship with Nintendo right now. He stuck his name on a selection of rather questionable games consoles from the Far East which (seemingly) landed him in hot water with Nintendo of America – so much so that he even claimed that the resultant fallout is wha
Random Nintendo Jumps On The ASMR Bandwagon With The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Listen to Link
Nintendo is known for taking risks, experimenting and generally doing things differently, but this latest effort by its American branch is another level. The company appears to have jumped on the ASMR trend currently taking YouTube by storm, by uploading a special video marketing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Although the...

Video Nintendo Minute Compares Original Link's Awakening To The Switch Version
Travelling back to the past
Since Nintendo revealed the trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Switch, there have been a number of videos uploaded to the internet comparing this remake to its original Game Boy counterpart. If you haven't already watched enough of these, here's one more. It's about as close as we'll get to an official...
News The Legend Of Zelda And Famicom Disk System Are 33 Years Old Today
Seems like there's an anniversary every year...
As time marches on inexorably - week after week, year after year - it should come as no surprise that The Legend of Zelda is 33 years old today. No, not the cartridge version - that wouldn't make an appearance until July '87 in North America - we're talking about the Famicom Disk System original. The...
Random Latest Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Glitch Messes With Reality
Curiouser and curiouser...
For nearly two years now players everywhere have been picking and poking at the seams of the incredible world Nintendo built for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Sure, we've all come across the odd treasure chest that won't open or seen moblins clipping into level geometry but, on the whole, it's remarkably solid...
Feature Getting Reacquainted With Zelda: Link's Awakening, An Irreverent And Silly Classic
"It was like we were making a parody of Zelda"
The Switch is getting its second Zelda game, but it perhaps wasn't one that people were expecting. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was the franchise's first serious foray into the handheld arena (if you don't include the 1989 Game & Watch release, that is) and remains a beloved entry in the...
News Turns Out Many Characters Shared One Body In Zelda: The Wind Waker
How did we not notice this before?
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker got off to a rocky start with fans. The 'Celda' backlash may seem like a dim and distant memory now, but at the time many fans were furious that their beloved series was being twisted and turned in a way they didn’t agree with. Fancy that, eh? Fortunately, Nintendo stuck to...
Talking Point Is The Remake Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Worth $60?
And more importantly, will it still work with the Game Boy Printer?
There’s some chatter doing the rounds on the interwebs regarding the potential pricing of the upcoming Switch remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Retailer pre-order listings are putting it as a full $60 release, and while there’s no official confirmation at this...
Feature Meet The First Kid To Beat Zelda: Link's Awakening
(In the west, at least)
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is one of the most beloved entries in the entire Zelda series, so it's little surprise that the announcement that Nintendo is remaking it for the Switch caused such a stir. The 1993 original remains a masterclass in adventure game design, and we personally cannot wait to get our hands on...
News Japanese TV Spot For The Original Link’s Awakening Shows Nintendo's Playful Side
The company's always been experimental with art styles
The announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remaster for Switch has had many gamers revisiting the original and rediscovering the quirkiness of Koholint Island and its inhabitants. The remaster’s new toy-town art style is a plastic-y evolution of the aesthetic we saw in A Link...
Video We Weren't Sure We Wanted A Zelda: Link's Awakening Remake, Until We Got It
Be careful what you (don't) wish for?
One of the biggest reveals of last week's Nintendo Direct was Zelda: Link's Awakening, a remake of the 1993 Game Boy classic that's coming to Switch later this year. Link's Awakening is one of the most beloved entries in the entire series, so it was, on paper, an obvious candidate for the remake treatment. Even...
News Number Of Players For Link's Awakening On Switch To Be Determined
Isn't it a solo experience?
Nintendo arguably left the best announcement until last in the most recent Direct presentation. In case you missed it, we're talking about the reveal of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Switch - a remake of the Game Boy classic, first released in 1993. With very few details about the game available...
News Nintendo Teased The Zelda Remake Earlier In The Direct And We Never Even Noticed
A cheeky Easter Egg
One of the standout games in the Nintendo Direct was, obviously, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Switch. Following the mighty Zelda: Breath of the Wild as the second game of the franchise to come to Nintendo's newest machine, this one was a lovely surprise to close out the show, but Nintendo actually teased the entire...
