Check Out This Video Explaining Ocarina of Time’s Dynamic “Hyrule Field Main Theme” - Zelda Dungeon
Ocarina of Time’s world feels alive, which can be attributed to any variety of aspects like its gameplay, art direction, characters, or story. However, I’d argue that the main reason why the Nintendo 64’s Kingdom of Hyrule is so lifelike is composer Koji Kondo’s timeless score. The music he composed and arranged for Zelda’s inaugural entry into the third dimension reflects Ocarina of Time’s emotions and story beats perfectly. Players lose themselves in the game, adventuring and puzzle-solving to his...

There have been some 1991 Japanese magazine scans this past year, and I went poking around to see what I could find for pre-release Zelda A Link to the Past images. The Sanctuary mid-rain storm is classic since that never happens. Special thanks to @dushubz.bsky.social for some recent scans

The Tower of Zeldaga is a mashup of the Legend of Zelda and Tower of Druaga. Every room has a secret puzzle and the puzzles get more obtuse as you go on. It's free, runs in your browser (incl mobile), supports controllers, and I'd really love for you to try it out! legitimatebusiness.biz/tower/

In Super Metroid (Super NES), there are multiple demos if you idle on the title screen. If you've finished the game, a new demo shows advanced techniques, including a Charge Beam/Power Bomb combo and the healing Crystal Flash, but doesn't explain how to do them. Do you know these secret abilities?

Watching a stream critiquing the new Zelda remake, this screen from the NSO version of the N64 game looks so rich. The way the colors are from a warm color palatte, the position of the NPC to Link, the 3D characters made out of triangles so you know its a video game but you can tell what they are.
