Episode 243 - Tears of the Kingdom Unsurprisingly, Yet Frustratingly, No-Shows The Game Awards; Our Reactions!
12/12/2022 Duração: 01h09minDespite nabbing the Most Anticipated Game award, Tears of the Kingdom was a no-show at this years Game Awards, continuing the bizarre, frustrating, and perplexing pre-release cycle the sequel to Breath of the Wild has been on since its reveal, capping off what may go down as the worst year for The Legend of Zelda in the modern era. If you think that's dramatic, come listen to Andy and Al explain why they hold that opinion, and debate on whether Nintendo's arrogance is showing. On the plus side, the gang review the actual Game Awards show, which all things considered, was pretty good. We talk Earthblade, Hades, Death Stranding 2, the Super Mario Bros. Movie, Crime Boss, and so much more! This episode might not be for the faint of heart, but it's still a fun time! PLUS, come and ask us a question for next weeks show and you could hear it answered!

Episode 239 - Sending in the Replacements to Talk Tears of the Kingdom!
15/11/2022 Duração: 43minSomehow, someway, Andy and Al have an incredible talent in that they can both get super duper sick at the exact same time no matter where they are in the world.

08/11/2022 Duração: 01h17minWe're trying something a bit different this week, as Andy and Al played and streamed an Ocarina of Time Randomizer this past weekend.

We streamed the experience over on our Twitch channel, and have the VOD for anyone that wants to watch!

This week, we're taking a look at some of the Zelda Dungeon Writing Staff's Daily Debates and weighing in with our two cents. What's up with the dragon, or Ouroboros, in the logo of Tears of the Kingdom? What do we think those vial things are Link is shown carrying on his hip? Should there be optional bosses in the overworld? Do we agree with how Nintendo has marketed this game thus far? What's a part in one of our favorite Zelda games that we dread going to? With how difficult it seems like developing Tears of the Kingdom has been, could this be the last big open world Zelda title? All this and so much more, PLUS, we react to the ongoing Bayonetta voice acting controversy. Come hang out with us! Hey, by the way - the Zelda Cast in on Tik-Tok now!

Episode 234 - Our Pitches, Ideas, and Casting Choices for a Zelda Movie!
10/10/2022 Duração: 01h03minWith the trailer for the much anticipated Super Mario Bros. Movie finally hitting the airwaves this week, the gang decide what better time than now to go over and pitch what their ideas for a Legend of Zelda movie might look like! Is it safe to assume it would be an animated movie since Nintendo bought an animation studio? Would the plot follow a game or have an original story? Who would voice act the iconic roles of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf? What other movies and shows would we use as inspiration? We dive into this, PLUS react to the Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer, talking Chris Pratt's Mario voice, how awesome Jack Black is, the quality of the animation, and whether or not we're excited for the movie!

Episode 228 - Zelda’s Percentages: Breath of the Wild 2 Edition!
05/09/2022 Duração: 01h11minWelcome back to another episode of ZELDA'S PERCENTAGES! The premise is simple: we read off a statement and then assign a probability of said statement coming true! This week, however, we're putting a bit of a twist on the gimmick by inviting our friend and Zelda Dungeon social media manager McKenna Krebs on the show and using her blog, zeldaisthegirl.com, as inspiration for our questions! Based on FOUR YEARS of wishlist's, we go through, read off, and assign a percentage to everything McKenna hopes to see in Breath of the Wild 2! Swimming and diving? Repairable weapons? The accordion as a musical instrument? A rebuilt Hyrule? More involvement from the new Champions? The Minish making a return? And of course, the million dollar question: is Princess Zelda a playable character? All this and more, PLUS, we are announcing the winner of the Blossom Tales II giveaway!

Episode 227 - Reviewing Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince!
29/08/2022 Duração: 01h14minWhat's going on friends!? This week, we are diving head first into one of our most anticipated Zelda-like games in the last several years: Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince! We were big fans of the first, so we had really high hopes for this sequel, and for the most part, it delivers! Come listen as we dissect the dungeons of the game, praise the overworld, review the items, and ask about the future of the Blossom Tales series as it now finds itself at a cross roads: either lean into being a Zelda clone even more, or start to forge its own identity. Come listen, and if you want to read Andy's written review, check that out here! That's not all though! We are giving away a copy of Blossom Tales II to one lucky listener!

Episode 226 - Ranking the Best NON-CASTLE Final Dungeons in the Series!
22/08/2022 Duração: 01h08minA couple weeks ago, we ranked every version of Hyrule Castle/Ganon's Tower/Final Dungeon's that took place inside of a castle, and head a really engaging discussion about what constitutes a great final castle dungeon. This week, by popular demand, we're taking that and asking what makes a great final dungeon that's NOT set in a castle, and trust us when we say this was a lot harder than it seemed. Does flow into the final boss count for a lot? Should the area be somewhere unique, not seen before? How much can presentation make up for lack of puzzles? We discuss all this and more, PLUS some fierce debate on how to make chili and some quick Blossom Tales II talk! Follow The Zelda Cast!

Episode 225 - Grading Every Outfit in Breath of the Wild!
16/08/2022 Duração: 01h07minAnother week has crept away with no Breath of the Wild 2 news, but fret not: we're here to talk about a part of Breath of the Wild that we haven't explored yet: fashion! Well, fashion, stats, practicality, etc... Yes, that's right, we are here today to bust our best Blue Steel and critique all of Link's outfits in Breath of the Wild! Which armor set do we have a soft spot for? Which ones are the bottom of the barrel? Are our opinions of the Tunic of the Wild controversial, or do more Zelda fans agree with us? Can Andy convince Al that the Tingle Suit is S-tier? Maybe most importantly, who thought it was a good idea to take Rex's, of all characters, outfit from Xenoblade and slap it into Breath of the Wild!?? All this, PLUS some Summer of Metroid Madness talk and a brief couple of movie reviews. Come hang with us, and make your own outfit tier ranking here! Follow The Zelda Cast!
