With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom right around the corner, we have made a full game walkthrough of the original game for those that want to cross this game off their Zelda backlog. Inspired by the YouTuber Loogaroo’s classic “How to Beat Dragon Warrior… in less than 5 minutes” guide, Tom has made a video in a similar style for The Legend of Zelda on NES.

Note: this is not a speedrun.

LEGO Ideas cuts off submissions for The Legend of Zelda

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

The LEGO Ideas platform is no longer accepting submissions for The Legend of Zelda projects due to a “license conflict”.

While Nintendo and LEGO have worked directly over the past few years – primarily when it comes to Mario – we’ve yet to really see anything come to fruition when it comes to LEGO Ideas. This system lets fans send over ideas that could turn into official products down the line.

New details uncovered for rejected Retro Studios Zelda spin-off, Heroes of Hyrule

Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Several weeks ago, Did You Know Gaming? released a video providing details on a couple of cancelled spin-off games that Retro Studios (of Metroid Prime fame) had pitched to Nintendo for The Legend of Zelda series. Since then, they’ve managed to acquire new information on one of these two projects via an official 22-page document, a strategy game planned for the Nintendo DS titled Heroes of Hyrule.

The game would have featured a plot mostly exempt of Link, in which a young boy named Kori finds a book that, unbeknownst to him, was used to seal away Ganon 100 years ago. He would have gathered pages of the book unaware of its true purpose in order to learn more about the stories held within, which detail the adventures of a Goron, Rito, and Zora hero who venture to Ganon’s Castle in a effort to free Link from his evil clutches.

Heroes of Hyrule revealed as another Zelda spin-off pitch from Retro Studios

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Did You Know Gaming? has secured information about another Zelda spin-off that Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios pitched to Nintendo, which was known as Heroes of Hyrule.

The game would have a story involving three heroes that lived 100 years in the past: a Goron, a Rito, and a Zora. The trio actually went on a mission to save Link. Link himself was actually captured while trying to rescue Princess Zelda from Ganon. That’s where the three heroes come in. Eventually 100 years pass, and Link becomes an old man that owns an antiquities shop.

Five Nintendo franchises that would make for a great movie

Posted on 2 years ago by Bryce(@brodee922) in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments

The Mario movie is coming out next year and while very little is known about it, its delay in April hasn’t given Nintendo fans a lot of confidence in the production. Of course, it’s too early to tell if it will be a good movie or not, but what is interesting to discuss is what other Nintendo properties would be good movies.

When we consider this, it’s fair to ask – what makes a “good” movie? Is it the plot, memorable characters, an amazing soundtrack, or lots of Morbin’? I would say all that helps (especially the Morbin’), but when it comes to conceptualizing a movie from a video game, there’s a greater thing to consider: how does the core premise fits into a cinematic wrapper?

New details, videos, and screenshots revealed about the Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda edition

Posted on 3 years ago by Bryce(@brodee922) in Screenshots, Videos | 0 comments

More info has been released about the clock and timer on the Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda edition. It seems Nintendo has packed many features into the clock and timer interface of the system, meaning there is a lot to explore.

To start: when the clock screen is pulled up, the first Legend of Zelda game will display and change its environments based on the time of day it is. There are several variations of this, such as night and day scenes, but there are also special events that occur at unique times like when all the numbers are the same at “2:22.”
