February2016
Its sales may not match Mario's, but its influence could be greater
The Legend of Zelda is now 30 years old, based upon its original release on the Famicom Disc system, a version that even pointed to the future with use of the Famicom's - admittedly limited - controller microphone. An adventure game of that scope understandably captured the hearts...

Even in a world-ending scenario Link and company find their humanity
Though it's a sore point for me, I'm now the wrong side of 30, and all of the gripes and complaints I dismissed from others in the past actually feel true. The grey hairs are coming, I can feel my body saying "nah, we're not doing that" at endeavours it would scoff at a decade ago,...
Poll Vote for Your Favourite Legend of Zelda Games - 30th Anniversary Edition
It's a tough call
21st February is a special date for The Legend of Zelda franchise, as it's the 30th Anniversary of the Famicom Disk version of the first game in the franchise. Nintendo's been oddly slow to make a fuss about the date, barely mentioning the landmark and focusing its efforts on promoting The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD...

Gallery Legend Of Zelda Meets Minecraft In These Amazing Fan-Made Voxel Images
Pick a pixel
The pixel-based entries in the massively popular Legend of Zelda series might lack the immersion seen in the more recent offerings like Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess HD, but they have a quality which is almost timeless. Amazingly, even when these flat 2D images are turned into 3D landscapes, the appeal of that iconic pixel-heavy...
It uses the GamePad and everything
We're rather enjoying The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, as we made clear in our recent preview, and Nintendo is particularly keen to promote the merits of the early March release. Along with Pokkén Tournament and Star Fox Zero

As always there's an updated release line-up, too, which on this occasion mostly keeps its powder dry. The one change that's immediately apparent relates to...
News Eiji Aonuma on the Idea of Giving Link a Voice
Actions speak louder than words
Link has always been a silent protagonist in the Zelda games and there has always been debate about giving him a real voice. On one hand, the character acts as a sort of avatar for the gamer, an empty vessel that allows one to assume the role of the hero and be that much more immersed in the adventure. On the other...

Review The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Choo-choo-choose the original format

A true legend
Last year, we reported on the news that someone had 100 percent finished The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time whilst blindfolded - an impressive achievement which undoubtedly took a lot of determination and skill.

News Tri Force Heroes Developers Talk About the Engine it was Built on and a Cut Costume Idea
Evidently, there would've been a naked costume
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes has been out for a couple months now and it was very much met with divided opinions.

"She doesn’t feel out of place at all in the world of the Zelda games"

An epic sail
When thinking about the best games from the Legend of Zelda series, many automatically jump straight in at the deep end with the big, home console releases; games such as Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker always seem to make it to the top of peoples' lists.

Art Halo Character Artist Gives Legend Of Zelda's Link A Realistic Makeover
Zelda meets Skyrim?
The Legend of Zelda protagonist Link is one of gaming's most iconic heroes, but he's something of an enigma - an intentionally empty vessel for the player to inhabit instead of a fleshed-out character. Rather than being a negative thing, this has led to Link becoming one of the most drawn and imitated video game icons, with...
Feature The Twilight Princess HD Fan Project That's Taking On Nintendo At Its Own Game
"Let's just say the project will finish one way or another"
It's fair to say that this month's Twilight Princess HD announcement left hardcore Zelda fans on different sides of the fence. Some were happy to see such a title receive a HD makeover, while others were distraught at the arguable lack of a visual overhaul. Although the game's aesthetics...

Looking sharp Link
In what could be the worst kept secret ever, Nintendo confirmed in last night's Nintendo Direct that the rumours were indeed true and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is receiving a HD facelift for a release on the Wii U on 4th March 2016.

News Zelda Fans Vent Anger At Nintendo of America Over Doge Memes In Tri Force Heroes
"So ancient. Such ruin."
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes was released on the 3DS recently, and while some may feel it's not one of the greatest Zelda games to date; at least the quality of the writing won't be a problem, will it?

Don't forget your 3DS
We love a bit of StreetPass here at Nintendo Life and with our recent review of The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes it was our intrepid adventurer Thomas Whitehead who concluded that the game is best served as local multiplayer.

Rumour Data Miners Reveal That The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Will Be Receiving DLC
New areas and new costumes appear to be on the way
It's amazing to think how far Nintendo has come along with paid DLC in the last few years.

Now it's an...
News Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Originally Didn't Have a Single Player Mode
That explains a lot
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is now out in the wild and while there are definitely positives to the experience, it doesn't seem to be up to the usual standards of the series.

News Here's Where The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Falls in the Timeline
Thank God it doesn't branch again
As many of you know, all games in the Legend of Zelda series are actually connected by a large and somewhat convoluted timeline.

Review The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
Tri-al and error
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is a remarkably segmented and potentially divisive game from Nintendo. It attempts a similar trick to Four Swords Adventures but, with its totem mechanic and implementation, doesn't accommodate both solo and group players in canny ways; as a result this is a multiplayer game with single player...

We're buying, Nintendo's selling
Rumours around a re-release / remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess have been swirling for quite some time, occasionally a reflection of fan desires rather than any solid evidence.
