When Wind Waker hit store shelves back in 2003, I was six years old and barely knew how to hold a game controller properly, let alone play a fully fleshed out RPG. I had only received my first video game the year prior in the form of a Game Boy…
When one thinks of the best 2D Zelda game, the competition is generally considered to be quite limited. A Link to the Past reigns supreme as the favorite of the franchise for many, and while there are significant factions that dig the poignant surreal nature of Link’s Awakening or the…
With the year still being so fresh there’s something on many people’s minds: Time. Is there enough to stand by our New Year resolutions? Will the unknown future be better than the present? Could things have been done differently in the past? Questions that no one really has an answer…
I was very, very young when I first laid eyes upon The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I had gone over to my neighbor’s house for reasons I can’t remember, and watched as he pulled out a N64 with the cartridge already inside. He casually tossed me the strategy…

With just a month to go until the release of the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, there’s plenty of reasons to reflect on Link’s past adventures. For 25 years, the formula for proper entries in the series has been nipped and tucked in many ways. Some of these…
I recently sat down with my six-year-old daughter and loaded up The Legend of Zelda on Wii U’s Virtual Console. As a lifelong Nintendo fan and a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I’ve played through the game far too many times to count, and I can barely remember my…
This past Tuesday, The Pokémon Company released Pokémon Duel in the West. The title, which came out in Japan last year under the name Pokémon Comaster, is a free-to-play mobile game that takes many of the monsters from the various Pokémon games, turns them into (virtual) amiibo-esque figurines, and creates…
Thinking back on Nintendo’s robust history, it’s hard not to immediately think of one of the many contributions Satoru Iwata gave to the company and fans alike. Even though he’s gone, all of us at Nintendo Wire want to take a moment to celebrate the amazing memories that Mr. Iwata…
It’s been two years since the very first amiibo were released in North America. Since then, we’ve seen over 13 series, cards, plushes, third party figures and crossovers. With the launch of the Switch only months away, it’s safe to say that amiibo are going to be part of our…
