The Zelda Cast Zelda Dungeon

It's a special WEDNESDAY edition of the Zelda Cast, and for good reason: for the first time in almost 40 years, we now have a Zelda game where you play as Princess Zelda! The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was announced in Tuesday's Nintendo Direct, a brand new Zelda game starring the titular character and a mysterious fairy named Tri who need to save Link and Hyrule! We get together and discuss our reactions to the trailer, the fact that we finally get to play as Zelda, what we think of the echo system, how fantastic the toy art style looks, our appreciation for Grezzo, and how stoked we are that it's 99 days and counting away! From there, we flip over and talk Four Swords coming to NSO finally with online play!
We're also talking about everything else shown off in the Nintendo Direct, from Perfect Dark to Mario & Luigi to Donkey Kong Country Returns to, of course, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (if you want to hear Andy and the Omega guys' reaction to that trailer, check out their episode here!)

With Al the the Zelda Dungeon Marathon and Andy away in New York, we're unlocking a Zelda Cast Top Tens Patreon episode! We're back with another couple of Top Ten lists to get into! This month, I'm joined by Zelda Cast producer Adrielle Munger as we dive into the adorable world of Zelda pets! We belt out our top tens of pets we would want to have and pets that already exist in the Zelda series! After we have some fun, we get down to business and discuss the ten best bosses that you do not fight in a dungeon! While there is a lot of Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild as you might expect, we reach a little deeper and pull out some hidden gems for you to relive!
Make sure you let us know what you think our of lists!

We're back with part TWO of our Zelda-themed "Would You Rather?" Fan Q&A! On the docket today: Would we rather collect every Korok seed or ship part from Phantom Hourglass? Would we rather the Zelda movie be awful, or not made at all? Would we rather leave out the Triforce or Master Sword from the next Zelda game? Would we rather the Hover Boots return or the Iron Boots? Would we rather all future dungeons are Divine Beast style or have every game take place in Breath of the Wild's Hyrule? Would we rather Zelda VR or Metroid VR?
All this and so much more, PLUS some discussion about Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and Summer Game Fest! Come hang out with us, and FYI - no stream next week!

We have a really fun episode of the show for you this week! We asked for your Zelda-themed "would you rather" questions, and you guys delivered so much that we had to split the episode into two parts! A couple of the questions we had fun with include: would you rather get a brand new Zelda right away and wait for the Switch 2 for ten years, or vice versa? Would you rather play Tri Force Heroes solo or 100% Hyrule Warriors? Would we rather all future Zelda games are open world, or traditional 3D titles? Would we have rather had a more fleshed out Sky or more fleshed out Depths in Tears o the Kingdom? All this, plus a ton more!
We're also giving our thoughts on the new Zelda LEGO, following up on our Definitive Ranking of the OG Legend of Zelda, and wishing everyone a happy Pride Month!

It's time to kick it old school with another entry into our Definitive Ranking series, this time, examining the game that started it all: The Legend of Zelda! We’re going through ten critical categories that make up the ingredients to a Zelda game – world, story, pacing, art style, dungeons, bosses/enemies, items, gameplay, extras, and music – and assigning them each a score to see how the original game stacks up against all of the legendary entries that came after it! Some of the scores will be no-brainers, while others might leave you scratching your head, so come along and play with us, and of course, be sure to share what you think!
All this, PLUS a little movie talk, our favorite NES titles and more! Come hang out with us!

We're back this week continuing the discussion around Tears of the Kingdom, except this time, we're comparing and contrasting it to three other direct sequels in the Zelda franchise: Majora's Mask, Phantom Hourglass, and A Link Between Worlds! We go over what makes a game a direct sequel in our eyes, how each game changed up the gameplay from its predecessors, if there was enough new content to make the sequel feel distinct, and so much more!
We're also covering the reaction to our Tears of the Kingdom anniversary episode, so come and hang out with us!
