When we first got the idea for this blog, the light-bulb-over-our-heads was inspired by a video we’d seen on the Internet. The video was narrated by the player recording it, and from his voice, we judged said player to be eight years old. But in fairness (and in fear of Nintendo lawyers) let’s say heContinue reading “How to Defeat a Lynel Without Really Dying”

Hyrule Castle and the Hylian Shield
The Hylian Shield is, pardon the expression, simply the bomb. What’s that, you ask? No, it does not drop bombs. Eh? No, it’s not unbreakable. It’s just really, really, sturdy.
