There are so many pieces of gear to pick up and play around with in Breath of the Wild, each with its own unique look and effect. The Flamebreaker Armor is one of the more important gear sets in the game, as it grants protection against the extreme heat of Death Mountain. If you want …
Aside from Link, only three other Hylians in Breath of the Wild remember the Calamity: Impa, Purah, and (most importantly for us) Robbie. 100 years ago, Robbie was one of the top Sheikah researchers employed at the Hyrule Royal Palace, and he’s continued his work in the wake of the apocalypse. Now that Link’s woken …
Sometimes, a character in a series will make a big impact despite not having a big role to play. I argue that one such character is Malon, first seen in Ocarina of Time. A little girl with a big heart, a lovely singing voice, and a fervent love of animals. Despite not having a major …
In Zelda, you will get more hearts by either finishing dungeons and defeating bosses or collecting pieces of hearts found across the game to make heart containers.

The Legend of Zelda franchise has always presented players with rich worlds full of exciting towns and locations. However, in particular, Breath of the Wild didn’t pull its punches.

In the game, this also serves to respawn all monsters, overworld bosses, weapons, ore deposits, and so on, so the player doesn’t run out of resources. So, to trigger a blood moon, you must fill up the game’s …
Breath of the Wild introduced so many colorful, interesting characters to the world of Zelda. Link encounters countless people on his journey to defeat Calamity (and has lost so many others), and the Rito bard, Kass, is prominent among them. As a fellow traveler, you meet Kass in numerous places across the Kingdom of Hyrule and come …
Games in the Legend of Zelda franchise often have an aura of domesticity that many other games lack; I’d say it’s one of the series’ biggest charms. Whether it’s herding goats in Twilight Princess, chasing the Killer Bees around Windfall Island in Wind Waker, or the countless fishing minigames across the series. Hyrule can feel …
The Legend of Zelda series is full of fun and interesting characters of all shapes and sizes. However, one of the cutest characters to grace our consoles has to be Makar from The Wind Waker. Makar is a Korok, showing up in their first series appearance, and is a stellar ambassador for them as a …
