Zelda’s Defeated Hero Timeline Is Good

People argue about the timeline in the Legend of Zelda series being arbitrary or just not any good. While there are many reasons for complaints, there's one that stands out most. The primary timeline critique comes from the Defeated Hero timeline. The thing is, the reason we criticize it is because of something that us fans have made up on our own. We've made up a claim, not supported by any official Nintendo source. From there, we've ran with disliking the timeline on this made up claim. What Fans Believe About The Defeated Hero Timeline Any time the timeline comes up, people take issue with various aspects. But what bothers almost everyone is the is the Defeated Hero timeline. This timeline is a "what if" type of scenario that speculates on the possibilities of Link getting defea...

In this article, we will rank the Zelda games from easiest to hardest, with Twilight Princess being the easiest. Keep in mind that these rankings are subjective and based on personal experience and feedback from other players. The Easiest Zelda Game - Twilight Princess What is the easiest Zelda game?

What is Speedrunning? Speedrunning Explained

Speedrunning has been around for decades now, but gamers have given it a recent surge in popularity. Lots of people who aren't familiar with video games are asking, "What is speedrunning? What's a speedrun? Why is it so, so popular?" At face value, speedrunning can be summed up quite easily.

Link’s Awakening Ending EXPLAINED

Most people beat The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and are left thinking that everything was a dream. And so they go on thinking it was a completely wasted plot within the Zelda timeline. However, upon deeper analysis, you will learn that without waking the Windfish, this would end the timeline and be the full demise of Link.

ZFG Gets OoT 100% WR With New Route!

Timed at 4:11:08, Zfg just improved his Ocarina of Time 100% world record with the new category route! There was a huge build up of anticipation for this run. We watched as Zfg pieced together old and new route ideas, unsure if it could even result in a time save, or if it was simply wasted efforts. We started off knowing it could be slower, but as it was timed we found the new route to be at least 1 minute faster. Within 24 hours, that time save jumped to 2 minutes. Zfg's not sure what the God-run might look like, but with a quick estimate he stated it might be around 4:07:xx. So what changed? So much, and I'm sure nobody can explain it in as great of detail as Zfg himself! One of the first notable changes is the RBA inside the windmill before getting the song of storms. Doing this all...
