There are two constants in the ever-changing setting of the Legend of Zelda series. One, there is always a princess named Zelda and two, she is gonna need rescuing. For the past 35 years, we have done a lot of rescuing her royal backside, so we’ve had enough time to get to know Zelda in […]Read More
Prequels are precarious things. When your audience knows where the story is going to go, there isn’t much chance to surprise and delight them.
