Random: Blimey, This 3D Printed Hyrule Model From Zelda: LTTP Is Massive

And it’s got a few nods to Echoes of Wisdom.

Popular and prominent artist Josiah Brooks – otherwise known as ‘Jazza‘ – has posted a video on YouTube in which he recreates the entirety of the Kingdom of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Feature: “I’m Going To Be A Grandfather Very Soon” – Is Neo Dimension Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Final Fantasian?

“…so I have to work and buy many toys”.

In case you haven’t heard, Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of Final Fantasy, is returning home to Square Enix, so to speak, for the first time in 21 years, bringing Mistwalker’s one-time Apple Arcade-exclusive RPG Fantasian to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 (both physically and digitally) and to PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam (digitally) on December 5, 2024, in the form of Fantasian Neo Dimension.

To investigate more about his latest effort, which was first announced in 2018 and released three years later, Nintendo Life met up with Sakaguchi-san a few weeks ago (before the birth of his grandchild!) in Los Angeles to discuss his newest game’s second life, and whether it would be his final Fantasian.

All thanks to “Company N”.

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam was one of the biggest surprise announcements of 2023.

That is until certain big names in the industry started pushing for it (thanks, Automaton).

This is according to Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino who, in a recent Tokyo Game Show chat with Dragon Quest’s Yuji Horii, confessed that the team was content to leave the Layton series alone after it had reached a “beautiful” conclusion.

Opinion: I Didn’t Realise How Much I’d Missed ‘Traditional’ Zelda Dungeons

(Boss) Key to my heart.

Last year, hot off the back of Tears of the Kingdom, I wrote a piece expressing my love for Zelda’s ‘Modern’ dungeons. These puzzle-centric areas had been a little hit or miss, sure, but I found that there was a lot to like in each once I got past the general terminal-activation-ness of it all.

I thought I was over Zelda’s ‘Classic’ dungeon format — moving from one room to another via a series of puzzles, opening chests of increasingly flamboyant design and picking up unique items along the way. I thought the series was striding towards something new and I was excited by the prospect of that. I thought the Divine Beast formula was the future and I was ready to welcome it with open arms.
