The Zelda franchise has myriad characters, many of whom are not human (or Hylian). One species that has had an interesting journey is the Deku Scrubs. These plantlike beings are made of wood and often grow leaves instead of hair. While not the most popular of Zelda's many creatures, they are unique in their ways. Often spitting seeds or handling business deals, they are more interesting than the average enemy. Let's take a look at their history and what we might see from them next.

Evening Reading - August 6, 2024

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Morphing explained - Deathbound

Soulslike games are a dime a dozen these days, and while each one brings a different twist to the formula, it’s rare that one manages to really stand out among the throng. In the case of Deathbound, it has some interesting mechanics that are downright enjoyable to use, but unfortunately, they’re hampered by clunky combat and stilted pacing.
