These are dark days at ZeldaforElders.com. First, we drooped on hearing the news that the sequel to BOTW was another year away. Yes, it’s better to have a great game later than a lesser game sooner; nonetheless, we were disappointed. Second, Itzal has moved away – not, huffs Demelza indignantly, because of any shouting on HER part! But ratherContinue reading “Daruk’s Song, Part 2: In Which Demelza Solves Shrines”

Daruk’s Song, Part 1: Activating Shrines
Fresh from our success with Revali’s Song, we jaunted off to the next stanza in the Champions’ Ballad quest: Daruk’s Song. In this post, we explore activating the three DLC shrines in Eldin. As we’ve whinged before, Eldin is our least favorite land. We’ll even take the Guardian-infested area of Central Hyrule over lava lakes andContinue reading “Daruk’s Song, Part 1: Activating Shrines”

Rohta Chigah Shrine Wars
A long time ago, in a galaxy blog far, far away. . . we entered the Rohta Chigah Shrine. And there we stayed for over three months. This is the story of what we endured, what we learned, and how we (finally) escaped. First, some disclaimers. We two Zelders are no longer located in the same city, soContinue reading “Rohta Chigah Shrine Wars”
The Champions’ Ballad
The Champions’ Ballad, in the second half of the DLC expansion pack, offers more shrines and new adventures. In many respects, the titular quest reminds us of a condensed version of the main game: One starts in the Shrine of Resurrection and must first activate and solve four shrines on the Great Plateau. After doing so, four pedestalsContinue reading “The Champions’ Ballad”
Nintendo 64 Controller for Switch
We Zelders are susceptible to nostalgia. Call something retro and we are likely to spring for it – or, as the case so often is with Nintendo, pine for it. Thus, when the wireless Nintendo 64 controller for Switch became (theoretically) available last October, Demelza mulled over purchasing one for all of five minutes before decidingContinue reading “Nintendo 64 Controller for Switch”
