Colgera is an excellent addition to Theophany's collection of #Zelda tracks.

It was instantly added to my Time's End playlist. 😁

The Quiet Differences between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom
The Quiet Differences between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom YouTube video by Samuel Edwards

This video is from a new channel and explores the sound design of BOTW and TOTK.

I tend to overlook these game details. It was nice to take a few minutes and appreciate the sound design more.

15 Easter Eggs & Secrets - Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
15 Easter Eggs & Secrets - Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom YouTube video by Zeltik

This looks at Easter Eggs in #EchoesOfWisdom really caught my attention when I first watched it.

I missed almost all of these references when I was playing Echoes of Wisdom. I never went inside Link's house at all!

PEOPLE:
- Naoki Mori. Cinema Scene Support on Majora’s Mask.
- Tomoaki Kuroume. Effect Designer on Majora’s Mask.

QUOTE: 
"Mori: I struggled with getting the moon falling cutscenes to feel as powerful as they could be [in Majora’s Mask]. In the end, I think we were able to make it all work because of the hard work of Mr. Kuroume who oversaw effects. Link also sits somewhere on the title screen loop, so be on the lookout for him!"

The Ghosts of Misery Mire - A Link to the Past Mystery
The Ghosts of Misery Mire - A Link to the Past Mystery YouTube video by Monster Maze

I was familiar with the Ghost of Misery Mire before watching @monstermazeyt.bsky.social's deep dive this week, but the video goes way beyond what I expected.

This is a fun video about a relatively obscure glitch.

Index - Zelda Archive Welcome to Zelda Archive. The archive documents all of the fan projects created by Zelda fans for the last 30 years. It is far from complete, but please look

The #Zelda Archive has been without updates for far too long. I spent the entire weekend completely redesigning the site and adding dozens of new entries.

There is still much more work to do, and I plan to make monthly updates throughout 2025.

The shop has vinyl records, download cards, and other limited print merch available. It's all affordable and gorgeous.

The album is also available on streaming services.

An In-Depth Look at Enemy Variety in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom
An In-Depth Look at Enemy Variety in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom YouTube video by Impapedia

This video from Impapedia is an interesting comparison of the enemy variety of the newer open world #Zelda games and older games in the series.

I think they reached a solid conclusion about the physics engine limiting types of enemies and encouraging variants instead.

I'm pretty attached to the classic hunt for Pieces of Heart as my favorite side quests, but this discussion highlights some of the best new side quests in #Zelda: #EchoesOfWisdom.

Anything with a Deku in it is great. 🥰

Very difficult.

I'm going with Faron - Lake Floria. The bridges and waterfalls are beautiful.

Realm of Memories: A Daring Dame - Zelda Universe When one thinks of the Legend of Zelda franchise, we all first think of Zelda, clad in green, fighting daring monsters - no, wait, that's Link. Across all the installments of the franchise, Princess Z...

This recent article from @zeldauniverse.bsky.social got me thinking about the design choices of #EchoesOfWisdom (again).

It must be incredibly difficult to build a game that can be "solved" in so many ways. But the results are so satisfying.
