During the current, albeit happily soon-to-be-ending Zelda drought, we’ve spent considerable time playing Elden Ring. We’ve dispatched Godrick the Grafted, Rennala, Radahn, Morgott the Omen King, Rykard, a host of smaller albeit still “great” enemies, and even now we have Godfrey, First Elden Lord, in our sights. True, it’s been no speed-run, nor even a speed-walk. Our eyes nowContinue reading “If Elden Ring Met Tears of the Kingdom”

It’s Not Your Zelda’s Eldin
Recently, while fussing over what to play whilst we wait for the sequel to Breath of the Wild, we ventured into a realm the likes of which we’d never before explored: FromSoftware’s latest release, Elden Ring.

Businesses were largely shut down. Restaurants were shutteredContinue reading “Two Years of Playing Nintendo”
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
With apologies to Robert Lamm, who wrote the song in this post’s title, and his group Chicago, which recorded it: Does anybody in the Zeldaverse really know what time it is? And why – unlike the sentiment portrayed in the song’s lyrics – why do so many care so much? For many years, we Zelders have played LegendContinue reading “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”
If Link Moved to Animal Crossing…
Crossover isn’t new to Nintendo games. When playing Link’s Awakening, we noted the Mario influences. Similarly, Zelda characters, along with other Nintendo franchise stars, regularly engage in Super Smash battles. It got us to thinking: What if the Legend of Zelda met up with another of our favorite games, Animal Crossing New Horizons? [1] NotContinue reading “If Link Moved to Animal Crossing…”
