    Episode 310 - Honoring 20 Years of Four Swords Adventures

    Welcome to another episode of the show, where this week, we have the honor of closing out Zelda Dungeon's Four Swords Week celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the single most unheralded Zelda game of them all: Four Swords Adventures! Andy and Al recount their memories of the game from the time it was first announced, to the first time they played together at the Zelda Dungeon Marathon, and reflect on the things that held it  back from being a huge sales success. We also talk about our favourite levels from the game, how Adventures helped popularize the 2D/3D hybrid graphical style popular now, and how we would change the game so it could be remade as an online title!
    All this, PLUS we talk some Musical March Madness and the cruelty of snow in March. Come celebrate with us!

    Episode 309 - Horizon: Forbidden West Compared and Contrasted Against Tears of the Kingdom

    Episode 309 - Horizon: Forbidden West Compared and Contrasted Against Tears of the Kingdom

    Welcome to the Zelda Cast, where this week, we're not really talking about Zelda! Well, that's not entirely true, but this week's show is all about the sequel to one of the best new franchises we've played in recent years: Horizon: Forbidden West! Listen as we explore our thoughts on what this sequel did differently than Tears of the Kingdom, being an open world sequel itself, and what areas Forbidden West did better, and what areas Zelda came out on top. Plus, we talk about the new machines, the character acting, the music, performance and accessibility, and much more, and then end it off with a SPOILER heavy dive into the story, the characters, and setting up for what comes next!
    Forbidden West and Tears of the Kingdom are two sides of the same coin, so consider grabbing it if you haven't already! PLUS - come listen to Andy's new podcast, The Spiteri's Review! Join the Discord and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!

    Episode 307 - Every Twilight Princess Mini-Boss Ranked!

    Episode 307 - Every Twilight Princess Mini-Boss Ranked!

    In a followup to last weeks episode ranking all of the amazing bosses of Twilight Princess, we thought we would keep the good times rolling by judging all of the different mini-bosses of Link's Twilight Realm adventure! Luckily for us, the mini-bosses in this game are as good if not better than a bunch of the main bosses, so come hang out as we determine where personal fights against good characters like Ook and Dangoro stack up against menacing monsters like Death Sword or Darkhammer, and hear our thoughts on some of the wild card fights against old foes like Skull Kid and King Bulbin!
    All this, PLUS major announcements about a new podcast and a Patreon surprise for anyone looking to hear our thoughts on the Zelda animated cartoon! Come hang out with us!

    Episode 306 - Ranking Every Boss in Twilight Princess!

    Episode 306 - Ranking Every Boss in Twilight Princess!

    We're kicking it old school this week, as we're dialing it back to 2006 to talk about Twilight Princess, and specifically, the bosses! We're conducting a good ol' fashioned boss ranking this week, and no Zelda game has a stronger selection of baddies than Link's adventure through the Twilight Realm! From the fun-incarnate race against Stallord and the emotional confrontation with Blizzeta all the way to the epic sky battle versus Argorok to the amazing final confrontation again the Dark Lord Ganondorf, we're going through each fight to determine which one comes out on top as the absolute best! As a bonus - we're going to be covering the similarly-awesome mini-bosses in a future ep too!
    All this, PLUS we give some thoughts on the Nintendo Partner Direct and talk about the games we're looking forward to! Come hang out with us!

    Episode 305 - What We Want From the Next 2D Zelda Game!

    Episode 305 - What We Want From the Next 2D Zelda Game!

    The future of the smaller, quainter 2D Zelda games seems to be in question now that there's no dedicated handheld-only console, but never fear! We're keeping the hope alive by detailing things we would want to see from a new top-down 2D adventure! Everything is on the table as we look at things that games like A Link Between Worlds, Tunic, and Blossom Tales did well to get an idea of what we want. A new art style? Must have! An original setting outside of Hyrule? Yes please! Improved combat that utilizes lock-on and quasi-3D targeting? Where do we sign!? A cap on the number of dungeons in the game? That's debatable, but hear us out! We have a ton of different ideas on what the next 2D game could look like, so come and hang out with us and chime in with your own ideas!
    All this, PLUS some Nintendo Direct, Switch 2, and Xbox talk to get us started! Come spend your holiday Monday with us!
