Thirteen years ago, we here at Virtual Bastion (then United We Game) made lists of our favorite items in the Zelda games. My original list included items from the six Zelda games I had under my belt then — Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Twilight Princess, Spirit Tracks — and a…

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom – The Unfinished Duo
I’ve finished a lot of Zelda games in my time, but I can’t count Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom among them. In the former, I got stuck near Hyrule Castle no thanks to a bunch of Lynels; and in the latter, I made it all the way to Ganondorf but was…
I’ve Changed My Mind About Open-World Zelda Games
When I was perusing some old posts of mine, few stood out as sorely requiring a revisit than a review I wrote back in 2017 about Breath of the Wild. When the game first released, it was a momentous occasion for any Zelda fan. Hyrule was larger and grander than ever before, and we had…

It’s now the Duck’s turn to honor my top ten games of the decade (not including remakes because that doesn’t quite seem fair). …
Listmas 2019: Top 6 Favorite Modes of Transportation
This week, we’re covering our favorite modes of transportation in gaming. And when I started thinking about all the possible options for this particular list, I realized that there is truly a wide variety of ways to get around. And they don’t all have to be vehicles, either. And so, below are the Duck’s top…
Day 22: A Game Sequel Which Disappointed You
As I slowly inch my way forward through the 30 days’ worth of video game topics, I arrive upon a pretty easy one, a game sequel which disappointed me. One game in particular springs to mind, but since it is such an obvious choice, I also wanted to briefly discuss one of the biggest crimes…
Stalled in Hyrule Castle
It’s not that I wanted to actively quit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It just…kind of…happened. I can tell you exactly where things stalled out, too – the second gatehouse in Hyrule Castle. I want to say that it was mostly due to the Lynel, the second Lynel (one was in the…
