Here’s a question we’ve long pondered, and we are not alone: Why is it called the Legend of Zelda instead of the Legend of Link? After all, who does all the work? Who fights evil and traverses dungeons? Who takes on any job, none being too large or too small? Forsooth, it’s Link! Shouldn’t he have top billing? Nonetheless, we concede thatContinue reading “Legendary Zeldas”

Demelza’s Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
After four months and change, the light at the end of the Skyward Sword tunnel was finally in sight: We had only to defeat the demon lord Ghirahim and his evil master, the demon king Demise.

Itzal and Demelza typically play Legend of Zelda games together, the exception being Demelza’s solitary and oft-repeated tasks of hunting and gathering supplies and cooking useful recipes in Breath of the Wild. Skyward Sword HD has been attempted only as a duo. Yet weContinue reading “It’s Dangerous to Go Alone”
Ah, Sugar, Sugar
Many, many years ago, when we were exceedingly poor and even less worldly, we came of age. Demelza, it must be admitted, came of age some years before Itzal. (We won’t say precisely how many years, because Itzal is a gentleman. Neither will we disclose anyone’s weight in this blog.) Nonetheless, for purposes of this post, weContinue reading “Ah, Sugar, Sugar”
