Field Note #11: Bullies and Heroes
What strikes me about Link in this moment is that he doesn’t yell back at Groose or defend himself in any way, and yet he's still powerful.

Field Note #10: A Tale of Two Temples
Did you know that the Temple of Time most of us are familiar with is actually the second temple of that name? That there are two temples?

Field Note #9: Voices from the Past
The fact that I can still find something that brings me joy in a dungeon that I strongly dislike is a testament to the brilliance of Zelda.

Field Note #8: LGBTQ Representation in Zelda
On the surface, it doesn’t seem like there are any queer characters in Zelda. We do a little digging to find out the truth.

Field Note #7: A Story of Green Fields & Dry Sand
Lanayru Desert used to be a green grassland. What could have caused this green place to become the arid desert we see today?

Field Note #6: Indiana Link and the Temple of Earth
The Earth Temple in Skyward Sword brings us a swashbuckling Indiana Jones adventure that is fun from start to finish.

Field Note #5: The Garden and the Puzzle Box
Breath of the Wild and Skyward Sword represent two different ends of a spectrum. They represent two opposite opinions on the nature of fun.

Field Note #4: What It Means To Be A Knight
"What in Hylia’s name is Link doing? Living his life as if nothing bigger were at stake in the world?"

Field Note #3: Temple Diving with Wild Bokoblins
Stepping back into the traditional Zelda dungeon formula felt like slipping on an old t-shirt that still fits just right.

Field Note #2: Link’s Ball of Timey Wimey Stuff (Bonus Note!)
"Why do some Links have prophetic visions and others do not? What causes these visions?"

Field Note #1: Skyward Sword & The Call to Adventure
My first thought booting up Skyward Sword for the first time in at least 5 years was “wow, this looks rough.”

What is a Field Note anyway?
“Field notes are intended to be read by the researcher as evidence to produce meaning and an understanding of the subject of study.
