The Zelda Cast Zelda Dungeon

Al's away and Andy's taking a spa day this week, so we have a first for our show: we're unlocking the very first episode of the Zelda Cast Top Tens that we ever did! For our debut episode, the one and only Alasyn Eletha joins the show for a double header Top Ten list: The moment emotional moments in the Zelda series, and the cheeky-but-fun Top Ten Ugliest Twilight Princess characters (paying off a running joke that's been running hard since episode one!). From waking the Wind Fish to parting goodbyes to recent moments of sacrifice, Andy and Al go over everything that will tug on your heart strings!

It's time for the triumphant return of the best game in this Legend of Zelda business - The Zelda Cast's Guess That Zelda Character! The premise is simple - we have 16 yes or no questions to guess a Zelda character from any game in the series! This time around, our competitors are "The Canadian Nightmare" Andy Spiteri, "The Rain Waker" Alasyn Eletha, and "Main Event" Jules Gia. Come play along with us and try not to pull your hair out as we try and one up each other putting our Zelda knowledge to the test!
All this, PLUS we touch on the Indie Direct and give our thoughts and what it could mean for the Switch 2!

Welcome back to the show this week, as we delve into a fantastic new Zelda fan album from acclaimed producer Jokabi and record label GameChops called "Zelda's Lofi Kingdom"! This is a soothing, melodic album that remixes some of the best tracks from Tears of the Kingdom, so this week, we delve in and review the album, talking our favorite tracks, nicest remixes, differences between this album and the Zelda & Chill series, what tracks we might have left off and what tracks we would have included, and so much more!
Make sure to come and listen and stream "Zelda's Lofi Kingdom" on Spotify, Youtube, and more, and check out the official page on GameChops!

Recently, our Zelda Dungeon Writing Staff released a feature that collected the various writers' SPICIEST Zelda hot takes, and just like we did on the podcast a few months ago, we're now reacting to each take and assigning it a SPICE meter. On the table: is the downfall timeline the only logical conclusion for the timeline to go following the events of Ocarina of Time? And speaking of that game, is nostalgia the only thing keeping it atop our Best Zelda Ever lists? Is Ballad of the Goddess and Saria's Song overrated? Would Twilight Princess be just fine without Princess Zelda? Are Mipha and Revali compelling characters? All this and so much more are discussed!
Are these takes Eldin Hot, Hebra Cold, or somewhere in between? Listen to find out, and let us know what your own hot takes are!

Welcome to a nice and cozy edition of the show today, as have a chill time answering some of the amazing Daily Debates our Writing Team ha created! On the docket today: is 5-6 years between 3D Zelda games the new norm now, and if so, should it be? What's one of the more underrated themes in the series? What's our favorite piece of Zelda content in Super Smash Bros.? Why wasn't underwater exploration included in Tears of the Kingdom? Could the age of online play give Four Swords Adventures a second life one day? What era would be a good setting for another Hyrule Warriors game? And maybe most importantly - on a holiday weekend, what goes harder, mashed potatoes or scalloped potatoes?
All this, PLUS we put a bow on Musical March Madness, and we wish a happy Trans Day of Visibility, and a happy Easter to all who celebrate!

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!
