Like many folks in these Omicron Times, we’re slowly easing our way into the New Year, like Link sidling his way around a dungeon. And we’re still anxiously awaiting the release of BOTW2 (Really? Come on, Nintendo Overlords!), so there’s not a whole lot of gameplay going on at our houses. But, thanks to the ever-creativeContinue reading “Our Top 5 Skyward Sword Cocktails”

Aerial Parallels
We’re entering a fallow period of blogging, in between our last adventure[1] – Skyward Sword – and the game we’re all coveting, the sequel to Breath of the Wild.

Sky Keep Dungeon
When Demelza and Itzal were young – okay, hardy-har-har, we know that opening phrase begs a follow-up line like “when dinosaurs walked the earth” or “humans had not yet discovered fire” – but seriously, when we were young, we enjoyed solving little hand-held puzzles in which one moved plastic tiles around on a slate.
