General Rules
Read the rules in greater detail on our Rules Wiki Page. Hover below for brief details

| 2. Mark Spoilers | Minor spoilers such as area titles, dungeon names, and character references are allowed but all Major spoilers including boss weaknesses, puzzle solutions, and any large story plot points must be tagged and flaired at all times. Comments must use the format >!text goes here!<, ex: text goes here. Titles must always be vague enough to not include spoilers. Submissions please click the "spoiler" button after making your post. See also our spoiler policy. |
| 3. Art Sources and Permission Required | All art submissions must name the artist in the post title AND have a clear comment containing a direct link to the original source with proof of permission to rehost, if applicable. Otherwise, submit as a link post instead! Use a reverse image search to help find the source - Google, Tineye. To post your own work, use the [OC] tag in the post title. AI-Generated art is not allowed here. |
| 4. No "Low Quality" Posts or Non-Zelda Memes | Memes are allowed, but must be about the games. Using screenshots from the games to talk about things not from the games will be removed. Several other types of posts may be removed - See more details on our wiki. |

| 8. No NSFW content | Pornographic content, nudity, and excessive depictions of violence are all not permitted. Some NSFW is fine as long as it's tagged and related to Zelda, to the extent depicted in the games. If your post contains adult themes or depictions of blood/injury, please mark it NSFW.

[EoW] When I thought one poor boy was enough 🥲
This is just a silly rant so don’t mind me lol also spoilers
I literally cried my eyes out with Darton’s story quest. First we destroy the pic of his father and then later he brakes the slate his father gave him and omg I spent the whole quest just wishing his father was alive to see how much his son grew and to tell him he was worthy of being a leader.
After that I messed around with the dekus, had some laughs and then finally went to Hebra Mountain not expecting at all to ONCE AGAIN meet another boy with a deceased father 💀
I was literally in denial till I saw the GRAVE and he’s been a alone in Hebra with his brother away and omg he’s one of the most precious characters how could nintendo do this to him 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 when we tell him about his brother he gets so so happy I just want to hug him and keep him company forever
I’ll try to get all the different outfits just to show him my looks 🥹🥹 he always says something about what you’re wearing. It’s so cute!!
I wonder if we’ll get to see more of him in any future game 🥲

[Eow] [Jabu Jabu ]Not sure if Echoes of Wisdom is clicking with me
Being 3 dungeons into the game I feel like I dont have that drive to go back and play more I feel like im playing it more out of obligation as a Zelda fan rather than wanting to go back and play more like with other 2D Zeldas I see the game has quality but I think I prefer traditional 2D Zelda to this new style

[EoW][No Spoilers] Do Link and Zelda have "Hero Of" titles like every other hero?
Since Zelda is the hero this time and not Link, what is the title for the hero?
Like, you know how the Link from the original NES version has "Hero of Hyrule", the SNES version has "Hero of Legend", the N64 version has "Hero of Time", the Switch versions have "Hero of the Wild", ect.? You could even argue that the CD-i version would be called "The Hero of Coredai", and the Link from the cartoons would be called "The Perverted Hero" or "The Excuuuuuused Hero".
Does Link even GET a title this time? Wouldn't Zelda be the one with the title this time? Because if so, what is her title? "The Hero of Wisdom"? "The Wise Hero"? "The TRUE Hero of Legend?" What is the fate of the hero and her title?

[LoZ] Magical Sword versus the Red Sword
I read that the Magical Sword is NOT the most powerful sword in LoZ. While the Magical Sword is 3x more powerful than the Green Sword, if you can acquire the Red Sword, then it's 4x more powerful than the Green Sword. Thus making the Red Sword the most powerful sword in LoZ. Is this true?

[BOTW] What color would you guys say the master swords blade is?
so im making a master sword replica for a friend's birthday gift and im not sure what color i should paint the blade. im torn between metallic grey/ silver and this blueish metallic pain i found made by rust oleum called Pearl Metallic Sea Mist. which would you guys say is a better option?
23:53 UTC
[MM] I forgot how stressful the 3 day cycle can be lol. Really gives the game a sense of impending doom and high stakes. It makes you play with a sense of urgency knowing you're on borrowed time. That ominous clock tick causes sheer panic and terror

[OoT] How exactly do you beat Big Octo?
I gave it a few tries but I didn't get a single hit in any. Then I googled it but the strat of going the opposite direction to catch up didn't work, since I was too slow and it just turned around. How do you beat it?

[EoW] - Is there a quest relating to this NPC?
I met her early-ish in the game, now she's talking about learning to swim or something
I've beaten the game and almost 100% it, and I still don't know why she repeats that line
She's literally been there for 30 hours

[All] Best Zelda game/version to introduce someone to this world?
hiii!! so, I wanna introduce my best friend to the Zelda world, and I'm not sure what game would be the better to do so.
I was thinking about Majora's Mask, I really think she would like it a lot, but, I don't know wich version (N64 or 3Ds) would be the best?
could you give me some advice about this? I really want her to enjoy her first Zelda game, and get the same excitement that I got from playing mine. if you could go back and pick a Zelda game to start again, what would it be?
(Note, we probably would play it in an emulator)
thank you and have a nice day 🐔

[EoW] Ranking the Zelda games on Switch
With Echoes of Wisdom likely being the last Zelda game we get for the Switch, I thought I'd switch up the usual Zelda rankings with one focused exclusively on the Zelda content we got released for Switch. I'd love to hear what other peoples rankings look like if you want to say in the comments.
Based purely on how much fun I had playing them:
- Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity
- Echoes of Wisdom
- Breath of the Wild
- Links Awakening
- Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition
- Tears of the Kingdom
- Skyward Sword HD
- Cadence of Hyrule
