It's time to retake Hyrule Castle!

We're live with more Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment!

twitch.tv/Zelda_Wiki

Some of you may think this question is about using forbidden technology or making ruthless attacks, but really this is about subsisting on a diet of snails.

Uneasy alliances begin to form in the war over Hyrule. Exactly what lengths will we go to in order to win?

We're back with day 5 of our Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment playthrough!

Thank you. AoI really isn't my type of game so I've let the image coverage up to some of our other users but will do 😅

If this was any other platform I wouldn't mind, as long as credit is given to our wiki, but it always hurts to see my images show up first on Google only to link to Fandom 😔

Thank you 🙏 I truly appreciate it. Dozens of our images have been reuploaded to various Fandom wikis (and untilthis, it was always with no credit or credit with no link) and you're the only person we've been in contact with who's offered to take them down.

For AoI artwork, the only advice I would have to get good quality images would be to use a capture card with the Switch 2, or even just native screenshots, since there's no way to rip them directly yet :/

That is fair. Apologizes if I sounded a bit harsh, I've mostly interacted with people who were not interested in hearing about these issues at all. This is not the first time our images haven been re-uploaded to fandom, although again, I do appreciate the credit, which people usually don't do.

Additionally, all the images I've uploaded are my own screenshots taken in-game (I also do background removal myself). I'm not a data-miner, so I don't know how to rip artwork from games. On top of this, the Switch 2 has not been cracked, so it's not possible to retrieve artwork from Switch 2 games.

Screenshot of an image gallery on the Villains Fandom Wiki showing different models of Ganondorf taken in Tears of the Kingdom. Text reads "Special thanks to Tartine who retrieved these files of Zelda Wiki". "Tartine" and "Zelda Wiki" are links to the Zelda Wiki.

Screenshot of a specific Ganondorf model on the Villains Fandom Wiki. Licensing reads "This file was originally uploaded on Wimipedia or another Wikimedia project".

These images are now going to show up in Google image results and redirect people to Fandom, which hurts our SEO (independent wikis are already at a disadvantage on that front). We've also been credited in text on the page, but not as the source on the images themselves, where it is most needed.

Hi. Although I appreciate the crediting, there is a reason why I upload the screenshots I take to the independent Zelda Wiki and not Fandom. I do not like the work I do for free making a company money. Fandom wikis are plastered with ads and they make a lot of money off of fans' volunteer work.

also mb, only realized after posting it, it doesn't match perfectly because it's the older model (I've since replaced it with one that is higher quality). That older model has been stolen and re-used by various fandom wikis, so it can be found in a few places when looking him up on google images

Screenshot of a Youtube thumbnail for the latest PointCrow video. Title of the video is "Can You Beat Tears of the Kingdom with a Single Stick?" and thumbnail features Link facing Ganondorf with a tree branch.

oh hey! I'm an editor for the Zelda Wiki and I'm the one who made the Ganondorf model used in the new thumbnail :D these character shots require a lot of time and work (mods, getting the right pose, removing background etc), would you mind crediting the wiki in the description? it would mean a lot 🙏

Happy International Lesbian Day everyone.

Graphic showing the names of four of the Sages from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. The Sage of Fire, Agraston, derives his name from 'Acasta Gneiss', a rock that contains the oldest known earth crust. The Sage of Water, Qia, derives her name from 'Myllokunmingia', one of the oldest vertebrates. The Sage of Lightning, Ardi, derives her name from 'Ardi', one of the earliest human-like specimens dating back 4.4 million years. The Sage of Wind, Raphica, derives his name from 'Archaeopteryx Lithographica', a late Jurrasic ancestor of birds.

The names of the ancient Sages from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are all derived from ancient subjects.

Agraston - from Acasta Gneiss
Qia - from Myllokunmingia
Ardi - from, well, Ardi
Raphica - from Archaeopteryx lithographica

Fat Bear Week is here! Every year people vote on the most blubbery bears of Katmai National Park, Alaska to decide which one is most prepared for the winter to come.

Our September community update is up!

From new Age of Imprisonment coverage to two new site features, come see what we've been up to!

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment may have been made with generative AI.

In their 2024 Integrated Report, Koei Tecmo shared their intent to bring AI into their development process because they 'fell short' of their targets in 2023.

Graphic for the "A Rift in the Gerudo Desert" article.

While searching for her father who was swallowed by a Rift, Zelda's journey brings her to the Gerudo Desert. Here, she finds the Gerudo are also plagued by Rifts spiriting people away and dangerous monsters coming forth from them.

The article for "A Rift in the Gerudo Desert" is now complete!

planning on it yes ! not sure which ones yet

Screenshot of Master Kohga meditating on the heart-shaped island in the Ancient Observation Deck. The dialogue box reads: The notebook says this is where people wished for matchmaking. Or something...

Close up shot of Master Kohga still in his meditating pose. The dialogue box reads: Well, in that case, I wish to meet the Demon King! Hm... Maybe there's a trick to it?

Same close up of Master Kohga but he is now standing up with his arms out. The dialogue box reads: I wish to meet the Demon King! I wish to meet the Demon King! I WISH TO MEET THE DEMON KING!

I really enjoyed reading through Kohga's Voice Memories while working on the pages, and I especially loved Master Kohga's Wish, so here is my own rendition of how that one went 🏳️‍🌈

A seven-colored flag with four bands of greenish-blue becoming brighter as they descend. The three remaining bands are gold, an off-white, and a vermilion color. They all have retro-style hues.

I designed a new gay/MLM pride flag.

The three colors at the bottom represent those we fought alongside for our rights, because our solidarity is our foundation.

The other four colors represent the different expressions of attraction extending into a distant sky, signifying how we are eternal.

Zelda's mother and Urbosa were historically known to be very close, and the late Queen of Hyrule would frequently brave the Gerudo Desert despite being sickly.

Which, again, could mean nothing.

The Voice Memories in Breath of the Wild page.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially been out for one week! It's been a busy week for us, so let's review everything we've covered since then.

We have Voice Memory pages for both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. These pages list their locations and provide transcripts of each Memory.

Screenshot of a Voice Memory from Tears of the Kingdom. It reads: "The Zora created these stone monuments, and while they once were engraved with the words of King Dorephan, they now bear those of Sidon. He has written of the battle against the Divine Beast, when he allowed Link to ride on his back. That really shows how completely he trusts Link; it is rare for a Zora to let anyone on their backs, after all..."

Inscriptions of Zora History, which could mean nothing.

Graphic for the Big Shot article.

In honor of Deltarune day, we completed our Big Shot article!
