    Triple Play: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Kirk, Jason, and Maddy do the only thing that could justify taking a break from playing Zelda: talking about playing Zelda! This week, they give their initial impressions of the impossibly big The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. They talk about how the new abilities work, what it's been like exploring the skies and depths, and how strange it is that Nintendo made a direct sequel in this way. Then they all go back to playing Zelda.

A must listen for anyone who loves videogames

Kirk, Jason, and Maddie bring such great enthusiasm and intellectual conversation about video games and video game-adjacent topics. I look forward every weekend to listening to whatever discussion they have on a given topic. They never fail to make me laugh from their banter on my commute and they give fantastic recommendations for movies, books, TV and of course, video games. Definitely give them a listen, they are one of my all-time favorite podcasts.

Favorite gaming pod

I look forward to Triple Click every week, regardless of what new or interesting game/topic they’re covering, because the trio of Kirk, Maddy, and Jason is such a thoughtful and interesting crew to listen to. They break down any topic, no matter how trivial the game or show or news story may seem, with a level of insight that you may not expect from a weekly gaming pod. I love their perspectives on the gaming world and just on pop culture and life in general, it keeps me coming back every watch. A must listen if you’re a gaming fan.
