Gaming, Zelda, Xenoblade, Math, and Food …as well as other musings. …I also recreate dishes from the Legend of Zelda, Xenoblade, and other games.

In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Zelda will be visiting Business Scrub smoothie stands and making smoothies from fruits and ingredients she collects. It looks like smoothie recipes will be getting added to my repertoire of Zelda dishes… could be fun!

Let me tell you, if the Hylian Tomato Pizza from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom doesn’t get you running to Hateno Village for a weekend getaway, this cheesy bread will!

When the Hylians decided to combine two common and abundant crops, tomatoes and mushrooms, they developed a delicious stew.

It’s been 43 years since Mario first made his appearance in a video game. July 9, 1981 saw the initial release of Donkey Kong. Mario (originally named Jumpman) had to rescue Pauline from the clutches of Donkey Kong.

Anyone ever play this in an arcade?

I really should post non video game cookery more often… so here’s one. I made shrimp and grits last night. ‘Twas tasty. #shrimpandgrits

I love the summer months and the sun, but the sun does not love my pale ass skin. I go from pale to burnt pretty damn quickly. Sigh… 😩😔

The bakers of the kingdom of Hyrule in the Legend of Zelda have creatively found a way to combine Hylian tomatoes and Hateno cheese with their bread dough made from Tabantha wheat to create Hylian Tomato Pizza!

There is a scene in the Echoes of Wisdom trailer where Sea Zora and River Zora are interacting. This has not happened since Oracle of Ages, and they didn’t interact in that game, just coexisted. What will their plot line be? What is their relationship? Could be interesting…

I am actually quite psyched about Four Swords coming to NSO! It’s the only game in the main Legend of Zelda series that I haven’t had the chance to play yet.

There will be a Nintendo Direct today, June 18th, at 10am EST (4pm for me since I’m in Italy at the moment). It will feature 40 minutes of information on games releasing in the second half of this year.

A decade ago today, Eiji Aonuma presented us with our first look at the Hyrule of Zelda WiiU, the game that we would come to know as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Almost hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the E3 2014 reveal.

Andy’s pizza. Fantastic pizza. Sausage and peppers. Mushroom and onion. Delish.

It’s been quite a while since a new 2D The Legend of Zelda game has been released. There was a remake of Link’s Awakening released a number of years back, and older 2D Zelda games have been released on NSO. But, when will we see a brand new 2D Zelda game?

[Frank @The_ArithmaCook]

With the June Nintendo Direct essentially around the corner, the question now is, what games will they show? I would assume it will be mostly Third Party games and ports/remasters. Will Wind Waker or Twilight Princess finally see the light of day on the Switch?

The carrots of Kakariko Village are on of their prize crops in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. One recipe in particular that makes good use of the carrots is the carrot cake.

Wow. First the moment at the Ruins of Dundrasil and now this. Dragon Quest, you really don’t gotta go this hard. Trying to tug at my feels here…

Had a little time to myself before firing up the grill. Enjoyed a La Aurora Corojo. Decent cigar.

Mosaic Goat IPA from 2 Silos. Pretty darn good.

A visit to Casanel Vineyards this afternoon. The Ellianna Pino Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon, and N² Norton were highlights.
