    Episode 294 - If Tears of the Kingdom Had DLC, What Would We Have Wanted To See?

    Episode 294 - If Tears of the Kingdom Had DLC, What Would We Have Wanted To See?

    Way back when the sad news that Tears of the Kingdom would not be getting any DLC, we had cooked up a few ideas for what we wanted to see in any future updates, and rather than letting those ideas go to waste, were today to talk about what we would have wanted to see if the decision to move on from Tears' Hyrule hadn't been made! From the learning the origins of the mysterious three dragons and introducing some classic goddess characters to having intricate caves holding secrets from the Sages of old, we pitch our story ideas, PLUS we detail what gameplay modes we think might have come back and which costumes from previous Zelda games we'd want to see included as outfits!
    All this, PLUS some quick wrestling talk, a Thanksgiving wrapup, and Andy's epiphany about Twilight (the books, not the Zelda game!)

    Episode 293 - Zelda’s Percentages Returns!

    Episode 293 - Zelda’s Percentages Returns!

    After a lengthy hiatus, everyone's favorite Zelda Cast segment, Zelda's Percentages, returns! The premise is very simple: we make a hypothetical statement and assign a percentage on the likelihood of that statement coming true! This week, we had a twist on the concept in that we asked YOU the listener to submit your own statements, and you delivered in droves! We touch on everything from the next 3D Zelda game, potential remakes, the Zelda movie and what the direction of casting will be, what kind of capabilities the Switch 2 might have, and so much more!
    All this, PLUS Al gives her thoughts on the upcoming Zelda movie and we talk about Tears of the Kingdom's chances at wining GOTY at the Game Awards! Come hang out with us!

    Episode 292 - A Live-Action Zelda Movie Is Happening: Our Thoughts and Reactions

    Episode 292 - A Live-Action Zelda Movie Is Happening: Our Thoughts and Reactions

    After Nintendo dropped the tweet heard 'round the world ("This is Miyamoto") confirming that a live-action Legend of Zelda movie was due to enter pre-production soon, the Zelda community has been ablaze with all sorts of reactions, positive and negative, discussing what fans want from this adaptation. Filling in for Al this week is Virtual Theater's Gooey Fame, and the gang discuss a whole bevy of topics, including: our initial thoughts at the announcement; if we prefer live-action to animation; what the worst case and best case scenarios would be; if certain casting choices making the rumor mill could be credible or not; our thoughts on both the director and writer's other projects; what basic elements from the games should be included; our ideas on why this movie won't adapt one particular game; the future of the franchise, and so much more!

    Episode 291 - The Future of Ganondorf, Zelda LEGO, Underutilized Mechanics and More Daily Debates Answered

    Episode 291 - The Future of Ganondorf, Zelda LEGO, Underutilized Mechanics and More Daily Debates Answered

    We've got an action-packed episode this week, as we're relying on our amazing Zelda Dungeon Writing Team's Daily Debates to power the show. We're answering a bunch of different debate questions including: Does the new Animal Crossing LEGO make Zelda LEGO more likely to come? Should Nintendo produce their own Halloween merch? Should the series ever retire Ganondorf? Should the next 3D Zelda game take place in a land other than Hyrule? What would a Pokemon/Zelda crossover look like? What can Zelda learn from Super Mario Bros. Wonder? What's the most disappointing final boss in the series? Which game didn't capitalize on its mechanics? Was Nintendo "lazy" bringing back Korok seeds?
    All this and so much more, PLUS Zelda's Percentages returns next week, so go to the tweet here and get your question added to the show!

    Episode 290 - We React To YOUR Spicy Zelda Hot Takes!

    Episode 290 - We React To YOUR Spicy Zelda Hot Takes!

    It's finally here! Weeks ago we asked you for YOUR spicy Zelda takes, and you delivered! This week, we're reacting to all the opinions shared and discussing whether we personally agree with them and if they go against the conventional norm of the Zelda community to dictate the level of spice! We're discussing things like Ocarina of Time being a mid-level Zelda game, Tri Force Heroes being an exceptional single-player experience, Tears of the Kingdom telling an amazing story in the worst way possible, The Wind Waker's OST being average, water-themed dungeons being the bet in the series, and so much more!
    All this, PLUS we're discussing Halloween and the state of trick-or-treating in 2023! Come play along with us and let us know what you agree or disagree with!

    Episode 289 - What Do We Want From the Next Open World 3D Zelda Game?

    Episode 289 - What Do We Want From the Next Open World 3D Zelda Game?

    We're back and already looking towards the future, as this week, the gang get together and each present a couple of things that they're looking to see happen in the next 3D open world Zelda game! From some pretty obvious stuff like ditching the terminal key system found in Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom's Dungeons and bringing back some classic permanent items like the Hookshot, to more daring wants, like potentially taking the adventure out of Hyrule and not having Princess Zelda appear, everything is on the table! Trading sequences, fishing, art styles, underwater exploration, and so much more are all discussed as we start getting excited for whatever is next!
    All this, PLUS some hot beverage talk, GOTY discussion, and how Zelda and pets can be better! Don't miss out!

Link man😎 ,

Pod pod pod

Podcast is good😎Love it!!!

Lemur Memer ,

Good podcast.

I can’t believe Andy thinks Minish Cap is the best top down Zelda game. The only correct best top down Zelda game is Link’s Awakening.

NicknameMan222 ,

The legend of link

First off, love the show. Next I wanted to pitch a Zelda game I would love to see.

The legend of link- an experience set during of ocarina of time where you play the game as sheik and explore everything they were doing to help link along the way from Zelda/sheiks perspective.

Keep up the good work love the podcast so much.
