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!

    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!

    Episode 312 - Reacting to Zelda Dungeon's Spiciest Takes

    Episode 312 - Reacting to Zelda Dungeon's Spiciest Takes

    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!

    Episode 311 - Zelda Q&A: How Long Should The Gap Between Zelda Games Be?

    Episode 311 - Zelda Q&A: How Long Should The Gap Between Zelda Games Be?

    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!

    Episode 310 - Honoring 20 Years of Four Swords Adventures

    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!

    Episode 309 - Horizon: Forbidden West Compared and Contrasted Against Tears of the Kingdom

    Episode 309 - Horizon: Forbidden West Compared and Contrasted Against Tears of the Kingdom

    Welcome to the Zelda Cast, where this week, we're not really talking about Zelda! Well, that's not entirely true, but this week's show is all about the sequel to one of the best new franchises we've played in recent years: Horizon: Forbidden West! Listen as we explore our thoughts on what this sequel did differently than Tears of the Kingdom, being an open world sequel itself, and what areas Forbidden West did better, and what areas Zelda came out on top. Plus, we talk about the new machines, the character acting, the music, performance and accessibility, and much more, and then end it off with a SPOILER heavy dive into the story, the characters, and setting up for what comes next!
    Forbidden West and Tears of the Kingdom are two sides of the same coin, so consider grabbing it if you haven't already! PLUS - come listen to Andy's new podcast, The Spiteri's Review! Join the Discord and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!

Hey could you get Jermey from Chat of the Wild on for a farewell episode? He’s leaving and it would be nice to see. Thanks 🥲

I’ve been playing the Legend of Zelda since I was 3. We lived at our grandpas house and out grandpa and a N64 which had games like Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Starfox, and Wave Race 64. I’m 14 but I started with the N64. I loved Ocarina of Time. I am 14 now and I am just realizing that when I was playing an N64, my friends were probably playing the DS or the Wii. After we moved out of my grandparents house, we got a Wii U. I got the special addition Wind Waker HD Wii U. Eventually I got a Nintendo Switch and got Breath of the Wild. I really liked how the Nintendo switch brought games from the previous generation of consoles (such as NES, SNES, N64, etc) and I got to play the games I missed on. The only game I haven’t played is Four swords and Twilight princess. I really enjoy this podcast and I wished it would post more often. Keep up the good work! PS, can someone explain to me how Fado from Wind Waker is a Kokiri but was never in Ocarina of Time? How do the kokiri reproduce?!?! Anyway, keep up the great work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
