Zelda and World Mythology

IMPORTANT: Due to low enrollments in the live classes, I encourage you to consider taking the “flex” version of this class. It contains the same content and can be taken on a flexible schedule. What’s more, I offer a “pay what you can” discount for all flex classes! Just sign up for the class and then send a message requesting your preferred discount. Here’s a link to the flex version of this course:

▬▬▬▬▬▬  COURSE SUMMARY  ▬▬▬▬▬▬

The Zelda video game franchise includes a ton of cool creatures, characters, and enemies! Many of the beings of Hyrule are inspired by the mythological beings from the real world. Each class, we'll explore 12-14 mythological stories from our world, and compare them to the creatures the Link encounters in the many Zelda games. 

Week 1: Mythology of the World (mythologies that exist in multiple countries) 

Week 2: Greek Mythology

Week 3: Norse Mythology, Celtic Mythology, and European Folklore

Week 4: Mythology of Asia and the Middle East

Week 5: Mythology of the Americas, Africa, and Australia.

Please note that this is not a comprehensive overview of all mythologies of the world. Instead, the focus is on which creatures, characters, and items from mythology have similarities to Zelda. Prior to class, students should have a general knowledge of what mythology is, and why different cultures around the world would have different mythologies.


▬▬▬▬▬▬  SCHEDULE REQUESTS ▬▬▬▬▬▬

I create my entire teaching schedule based on schedule requests, so if you don't see a time that works for you, please put in a request! However, I can only teach live classes from 9 AM to 4 PM Arizona time, and I am often fully booked a few months out. If you need to watch the class outside that time period, you can enroll in the “flex” version of this class and watch the recordings at your leisure! Here is the link:
