About Joshua Short

Joshua has been a lifelong gamer with a special passion for The Legend of Zelda. They pride themself on achieving 100% completion for each game in the series. For over two decades, Joshua has consumed as much Zelda media as they could get their hands on.

Joshua started playing games at five years old and took that love with them from West Virginia to the West Coast. When they're not replaying Majora's Mask for the hundredth time, Joshua can be found enjoying comedy and boba among the hills of Hollywood. They have an odd obsession with denim and seem to have based their wardrobe from the Back to the Future costuming department. Unrelated, Wayne Brady once game them a TV.

Joshua covers the latest news and features for The Best War Games.
