Tears Of The Kingdom Statue Looks Perfectly Bonkers

Photo: Wake StudioA new Wake Studio resin statue of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has it all: the hero of time, a dual-box fan glider, explosive barrels, and a bokoblin screaming for death. And it can be yours for only $150.The newest collectible for the hit Switch open-world RPG was recently spotted by the fansite Zelda Universe. The 1/4 scale monument to one of 2023’s best games stands at roughly 22 inches by 22 inches and includes LEDs that make the base and Link’s corrupted arm glow. “Due to the large size of this figure, the shipping cost will be expensive,” warns a listing over at FavorGK. Orders are estimated to go out for delivery sometime around March 2024.I’m not usually one for statues, but there’s something a bit irresistible about this specific one. The c...

Tears Of The Kingdom Fans Still Aren’t Over Sidon’s Fiance

Screenshot: Nintendo / KotakuYou know, I’ve gotta admire the bravery of Nintendo’s social teams to post even one single tweet about Yona, Sidon’s surprise fiance in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, I also doubt they were that shocked to see fans, slighted by her taking Link’s boyfriend away from him, rolled in with the good jokes.What You Should Know About Mario Strikers' Big Free UpdateThe post itself is innocuous enough. We’re two months removed from Tears of the Kingdom’s launch, so we can post about characters who are “spoilers” without anyone getting justifiably mad. The tweet talks about her concern with the sludge problem in Zora’s Domain during the game’s main quest. It also, of course, mentions that she’s planning a wedding with Sidon, the sexy shark man that fa...

How To Get Tears Of The Kingdom’s Best Shield Early

The early hours of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom don’t give you a really good shield. The game spends a lot of time showing you how to fuse items to your shield to get some cool utility out of it, but if you want one that will take a lot of hits? Your early shield options are pretty lacking. Luckily, Link’s iconic Hylian Shield is actually pretty quickly accessible in the new Switch game. It’s dangerous to go alone, so take this handy guide that will show you exactly where to go.Skyward Sword HD Revisits The Stumble That Led To Breath Of The WildFirst off, you’ll have to get through the initial tutorial and get back to Hyrule proper, so it will take you at least two or so hours to get to the Hylian Shield’s resting place. But once you’re back on the surface after Link’s trip to...

Tears Of The Kingdom’s Newspaper Quest Is One Of Its Best

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Lucky Clover Gazette quest line (referred to as Potential Princess Sightings) is long and involved, but it’s easily one of the most rewarding detours you can take on your way to saving Hyrule from Ganondorf’s clutches. In this 12-part quest, Link joins Penn, a go-getting reporter, in investigating rumors surrounding Zelda’s reappearance popping up around Hyrule. Doing all 12 of these quests is a great way to see most of the map, reap rewards like Zelda’s golden horse, and ultimately receive an incredibly useful armor set.Type S: Chiaki’s Journey II Volume 4All that being said, there’s a lot to do on these quests, and the whole process can be overwhelming if you haven’t already seen much of Hyrule yet. So let’s get this scoop.Screenshot: Nintendo ...

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto Hated Wind Waker’s Art At First

Image: NintendoIf there’s one thing that’s helped The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker stand the test of time, it’s the game’s distinctive art style. But it turns out this now-defining aspect stoked some controversy in development. According to a slew of old interviews, resurfaced and translated by the folks at DidYouKnowGaming?, Nintendo bigwig Shigeru Miyamoto initially couldn’t stand the way the game looked.It is almost impossible to picture a Wind Waker that doesn’t look like Wind Waker. First released stateside in 2003 for the GameCube, it deviated visually from the previous Zelda games, Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, both released for N64. Rather than an ill-advised attempt at photorealism—which, in the era of gaming’s technical arms race, would’ve doomed it to a brief half-life—N...
