We’ve mentioned Breath of the Wild’s Hero’s Path mode on these pages before. Having nothing better to do, since Nintendo has yet to release the sequel to BOTW – when? when? – today we explore the topic in more detail. Available with the Master Trials expansion, Hero’s Path mode displays, on a map of Hyrule, Link’s travelsContinue reading “A Hero’s Meandering Path”

BOTW Expansion Pack
After finally completing Skyward Sword (in ill humor and with little fanfare), we recently returned to a land and a game we’d loved: the Hyrule of Breath of the Wild.

Why Skyward Sword, now?
A few days ago, we captured a Skyward Sword screenshot of Link falling into Eldin. (See photo at right.) It reminded us of a similar view from the latest BOTW2 trailer, from E3 2021, in which Link appears to be skydiving. And that wasn’t the only similarity to SSHD we remembered from the trailer; we recalled aContinue reading “Why Skyward Sword, now?”
