I think it’s safe to say that Twilight Princess is known most for an aesthetic that was the polar opposite of the cutesy cel-shaded entry before it.

The Depths is a dark and scary place in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, especially if you don’t know what you’re in for. But with enough bravery and determination, the Depths can be mastered just like anything else in life. If you’ve been ignoring the dark and spooky Depths beneath Hyrule because …

It is an action-adventure role-playing game (RPG) with shooter and puzzle elements. This game was long-awaited by Zelda fans as a sequel to the last Zelda game, Legend of Zelda: Breath of …
Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is an action-adventure puzzle-heavy role-playing game (RPG), and it is just one of the many games in the long line of titles belonging to the Legend of Zelda franchise. It was released initially in 1993 for the Game Boy and later released for the Game Boy color in 1998 under …
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a plethora of content for you to complete on your way to save Hyrule once again. There is so much to see and do in this game that I wouldn’t be surprised if you completely missed one of the most substantial questlines in the entire adventure, …
