The Zelda Cast

We're back for part two of our Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom hot takes (and a few Age of Calamity ones in there too!). This week, we're tackling subjects like: was Yunobo the best character across the Wild era games? Do the Divine Beast dungeons offer a more welcoming for new players puzzle experience? Was it disappointing the Pirates in Lurelin were just Moblins? Are Remote Bombs the best rune/ability? Is Colgera seriously the most disappointing boss in the game? Was Calamity Ganon more interesting than Ganondorf?

All this and so much more, PLUS our thought on the Nintendo Museum and strange American geography! Come have a blast with us!

One of our favorite segments returns this week! We asked for YOUR spiciest hot takes regarding Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and boy oh boy, you guys delivered, SO MUCH SO that this will be PART 1 of a two part episode! We're reacting to all sorts of takes, including: is Tears a great experience, or just glorified DLC? Is Cece's Mushroom hat better than the Couples Mask? Would Kohga have been a better choice of villain than Ganondorf? Do fighting bosses again in the Depths diminish the impact of fighting them in a dungeon? Speaking of, are the dungeons of Tears and Breath of the Wild better than many traditional dungeons?

All this and so much more! If you want to contribute next week, feel free to do so, and we can even get Age of Calamity in on the action! Until next week!

Hello Zelda fans! We got a nice treat this week, as Nintendo randomly dropped about 6 minutes of footage from Echoes of Wisdom for us to sink our teeth into! We discuss TONS of things shown off, including out thoughts on Bond and Reverse Bond and how that impacts the gameplay, smoothies and how they seem to be a proxy for Elixirs, the confirmation of side quests and an adventure log, our first look at Impa and King Hyrule, Zelda's new outfits, our thoughts on the new regions in the game, and of course, Zelda's horse riding skills!

All this, PLUS a little Borderlands Movie talk and some cool Omega Metroid announcements! Come hang out with us!

After a long, LONG layover, we are back streaming Ocarina of Time Randomizer by popular demand! Last time we we played, we had just beaten King Dodongo but got stuck with a lack of items trying to get into Jabu Jabu's Belly, so this time, we're scouring Hyrule looking for upgrades! We venture to Kakariko Village, Goron City, the Lost Woods, and Gerudo Valley in search of items, PLUS Andy learns that Epona can jump across the Gerudo bridge, we find the Megaton Hammer in the Gerudo Training Grounds, and discover the location of the Hookshot - although it's just out of reach!

W had a blast, and if you want to watch the full video, click here to go to our Twich page! Ocarina of Time Randomizer WILL be back!

Andy and Al are off this week, so we're uploading a really fun conversation our YouTube Crew had involving the bosses of Tears of the Kingdom! The Tier Force Heroes gang is getting together to rank every boss from the game in a (you guessed it) tier based on how much they liked or didn't like them! Enjoy this episode this week and then get ready for Ocarina of Time Randomizer coming back next week, Aug 4th at 12pm MST, live over on our Twitch channel!

In the meantime, make sure to check out the TFH gang and subscribe to them!

It's time again for everyone's favorite hypothetical Zelda game to return! That's right - Zelda's Percentages is back after 9 months! The premise is very simple: we make a hypothetical statement and assign a percentage on the likelihood of that statement coming true. This week is Echoes of Wisdom focused, as we touch on if the game can break 10 million in sales, whether Shiek makes a cameo appearance, if there will be a brand new villain, and if we'll end up fighting Link at some point in the game! We also sprinkle in some general Zelda questions, like if the Zelda movie will end up with a critics score of 75% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, if Princess Zelda is playable in the next Mario Kart game, if Nintendo will ever acknowledge the Zelda timeline again, and so much more!

Come play along with us, and get ready for the return of Ocarina of Time randomizer next week!

This week, we're putting a bow (for now!) on our Echoes of Wisdom announcement coverage as we answer some of Zelda Dungeon's Daily Debates regarding the new game, and sprinkle a few about Zelda in general for good measure too! On the docket this time: will Link and Zelda speak in game? Will Echoes of Wisdom lean more open world or have a more linear progression? Should we expect this game to be in the Downfall timeline? Is Zelda going to abandon the Triforce going forward? How could Nintendo improve its online experience? What's the most celebratory moment in the series? All this, and so much much more!

Don't miss next week, as we'll be live streaming Four Swords and giving our thoughts and trying to co-exist! The stream starts at 12 pm MST July 14th over on our Twitch page! See you all then!

We're back this week answering all of your Echoes of Wisdom questions! On the docket, we have subjects like: do we think that the combat of Echoes could get repetitive? Will there be a playable Link section in this game, or just strictly Zelda? Where in the timeline do we see this game falling? Are dungeons making their return, and if so, do they play more like traditional 2D dungeons? Speaking of, ill the dungeon maker mode from Link's Awakening 2019 return? Is one of the most proud traditions in Zelda - the trading sequence - due for a return?

All this and so much more, PLUS a little tease for an upcoming show! Come and hang out with us!

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!

It's hard to believe, but it's been one year since the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so this week, we're reflecting back on the game and talking about how our thoughts or opinions have changed or been cemented now that the dust has settled. We discuss Tears' legacy as a sequel, as a standalone Zelda game, and where it ranks among our favorite Zelda games. Andy and Al both have strong opinions on the game, and they don't necessarily agree either, so get ready for a killer show!

All this, PLUS we touch on Nintendo's announcement of the Switch 2 coming this fiscal year, what that means for the rest of 2024 and 2025, and our thoughts and fears surrounding that. Come hang with us!

Unfortunately, Andy is out sick this week. So we thought we’d take it easy and discuss some of ZD’s latest Daily Debates! And joining Al in place of Andy is The Zelda Cast’s podcast producer extraordinaire, Adrielle! Here’s what’s up for discussion: What is the best final dungeon in the Zelda series? Is Adventure of Link really that bad? What is our favorite item in our personal Zelda collections? And also, what the heck are the snapper turtles saying in Majora’s Mask?

Absolutely riveting topics up for debate. Join us for those and so much more on this week’s episode of The Zelda Cast!

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!

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!

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!

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!

In a followup to last weeks episode ranking all of the amazing bosses of Twilight Princess, we thought we would keep the good times rolling by judging all of the different mini-bosses of Link's Twilight Realm adventure! Luckily for us, the mini-bosses in this game are as good if not better than a bunch of the main bosses, so come hang out as we determine where personal fights against good characters like Ook and Dangoro stack up against menacing monsters like Death Sword or Darkhammer, and hear our thoughts on some of the wild card fights against old foes like Skull Kid and King Bulbin!

All this, PLUS major announcements about a new podcast and a Patreon surprise for anyone looking to hear our thoughts on the Zelda animated cartoon! Come hang out with us!

We're kicking it old school this week, as we're dialing it back to 2006 to talk about Twilight Princess, and specifically, the bosses! We're conducting a good ol' fashioned boss ranking this week, and no Zelda game has a stronger selection of baddies than Link's adventure through the Twilight Realm! From the fun-incarnate race against Stallord and the emotional confrontation with Blizzeta all the way to the epic sky battle versus Argorok to the amazing final confrontation again the Dark Lord Ganondorf, we're going through each fight to determine which one comes out on top as the absolute best! As a bonus - we're going to be covering the similarly-awesome mini-bosses in a future ep too!

All this, PLUS we give some thoughts on the Nintendo Partner Direct and talk about the games we're looking forward to! Come hang out with us!

The future of the smaller, quainter 2D Zelda games seems to be in question now that there's no dedicated handheld-only console, but never fear! We're keeping the hope alive by detailing things we would want to see from a new top-down 2D adventure! Everything is on the table as we look at things that games like A Link Between Worlds, Tunic, and Blossom Tales did well to get an idea of what we want. A new art style? Must have! An original setting outside of Hyrule? Yes please! Improved combat that utilizes lock-on and quasi-3D targeting? Where do we sign!? A cap on the number of dungeons in the game? That's debatable, but hear us out! We have a ton of different ideas on what the next 2D game could look like, so come and hang out with us and chime in with your own ideas!

All this, PLUS some Nintendo Direct, Switch 2, and Xbox talk to get us started! Come spend your holiday Monday with us!

What's up everybody? It seems that the announcement of the Switch 2 is imminent, so this week, the gang get together to talk about what we'd like to see from Nintendo's next console! Things like an upgraded dock, "transformer" controllers, official battery packs, revamped eShop, and Discord support are all discussed, PLUS we predict some of the games we envision the Switch 2 having in it's first year on the shelf (spoiler: unfortunately, neither of us are sure a new Zelda game is gonna be on that list)! We also talk about all of the rumors swirling around Xbox and Microsoft's future as a console publisher, the predicament of Game Pass, and the state of Microsoft's first party franchises.

All this, PLUS a little Taylor Swift/Super Bowl talk, the differences between the NFL and the CFL, and the new Tears of the Kingdom sales figures released! Come hang out with us!

While any news or announcements on the upcoming live-action Legend of Zelda movie may not be forthcoming for a while, that didn't our Zelda Dungeon writing staff from putting together an amazing feature called Dreams for the Silver Screen: Our Zelda Movie Pitches where, as the title suggests, they laid out their best ideas and scenarios for the upcoming flick, so this week, we're reacting and analyzing all the great thoughts found in the article! We debate things like how much, if at all, should the Zelda flick stick to official game lore, if we would be interested in seeing Link's parents, if Zelda and Link should have a romantic, platonic, or something in between kind of relationship, and why comparing this movie to Lords of the Rings or a Studio Ghibli film will be setting oneself up for disappointment.

This is just a fraction of the topics discussed, so come listen and weigh in on what you think works and what doesn't!

We're back for another action packed episode as we take to answering some of our incredible Zelda Dungeon Writing Team's Daily Debate questions! We're talking a lot about Tears of the Kingdom specifically, giving our answers to questions like: would a new map have increased our enjoyment of the game? Could the Master Cycle Zero have worked in this version of Hyrule? Where would we have added an extra dungeon on the map? Is Tears the most replayable Zelda game of all time? What story plot holes stick in our craw?

All this, plus a ton of questions about Zelda in general, including speedrunning, 3-heart challenges, the upcoming movie, and so much more! Come and enjoy the ride with us!

Way back when, we pitched a (not to pat ourselves on the back, but a GREAT SOUNDING) cyberpunk Zelda game that would blend the traditions that we love in the series with some features and themes often associated in the cyberpunk genre. After three long year, we're BACK to give our ideas to TWO MORE cyberpunk Zelda titles! We're joined by Zelda Cast producer Adrielle Munger as she gives her vision for The Legend of Zelda: The Silent Sisters, a narrative focused survival based Zelda game with futuristic dungeons and a Princess Zelda you've never seen before, while Andy imagines a cyberpunk RPG that reimagines Link and company as programs defending Hyframe against portals to the dark web, a code-altering gang called the Randomizers, and two competing virus threats that will look familiar to anyone who watch the classic Canadian show ReBoot in The Legend of Zelda: The Twin Viruses!

All this, PLUS we recap last weeks Jeopardy show and look forward to the weeks ahead!

Welcome to 2024! We're getting the year started off on the right foot by doing what we do best: basely speculating! We look forward to the end of 2024 and talk about which, if any, Zelda games we could see released and what scenario's would lead to that. Of course, the elephant in the room that will determine so much in 2024 is the Switch 2 and when it might be revealed and released, so we also spend some time covering our thoughts on that. Lastly, we look forward to more updates on the live action Zelda and touch on a recent article on Zelda Dungeon about the challenges the project will face!

All this, PLUS we set the stage for next weeks MASSIVE SHOWDOWN between the Zelda Cast and Omega Metroid Podcast's crews as we celebrate our 300th episode! We have a special Jeopardy game planned, so make sure you come and join us on Twitch to watch!

The year that was 2023 has come to a close, so the gang decide to reflect back on the year that! After a pretty lacklustre 2022, Zelda returned to form in 2023, thanks in no small part to the release of Tears of the Kingdom (finally!). We review the lead up to the game coming out, the trailers, the no-DLC confirmation, all the other Zelda games that made their way to NSO, midnight release stories, the hilarious tweet announcing the live action Zelda movie, and talk about some of the other games that came out, including our game of the year and other highlights!

All this, PLUS we set the stage for the third and final Zelda Cast vs Omega Trivia Extravaganza!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas - Zelda Dungeon's Best Zelda Ever list is out, and as always, we're breaking it down game by game, entry by entry to see what we agreed with, disagreed with, were shocked by, and what pleasantly surprised us! The biggest questions this year were what kind of impact Tears of the Kingdom would have on the list, and if it could possibly dethrone Ocarina of Time as the list's champion after a dominant five year stretch! Plus, how does Breath of the Wild fare now that its sequel is out and has made it arguably obsolete? Plus, Andy reflects on his time as Editor-in-Chief, putting together the first couple BZE lists and how the standings have evolved over the years! Make sure you're checking out the list for yourself here!

Just a friendly FYI - THERE'S NO EPISODE NEXT WEEK, since, you know, Christmas, but we'll be back on January 1st to kick off 2024 in style! From everyone at the Zelda Cast and Zelda Dungeon, Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and have a safe New Years!

The 2023 Game Awards have come and gone, and just like in years past, we've watched it so you don't have too! We break down Tears of the Kingdom's performance and debate whether it deserved to win GOTY or not, as well as give our thoughts on some of the other winners and the format of Geoff Keighly's extravaganza as a whole! We also talk about what announcements got us excited and what games we're looking forward to! PLUS, we break down series producer Eiji Aonuma's recent thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom's timeline placement, if he thinks that players will ever return to that version of Hyrule, and what the future of the Ultrahand mechanic is!

This is a fun and breezy ride, so come hang out with us and let us know what you though of this years awards!

After a long, long layoff, Definitive Ranking returns to the Zelda Cast, and what better game to usher its return than the most recent entry into the series: Tears of the Kingdom! 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 where Tears ranks among the hallowed halls of greatest Zelda games of all time! 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 Skyward Sword puzzle update, Ganondorf and Zelda amiibo, and a big thanks to everyone who had us in their Spotify Wrapped!

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!)

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

It's that time of year again when Zelda Dungeon launches its annual Fall Brawl Character Contest! Just like in years past, the gang get together to analyze the bracket and pick which Zelda character they think will win this 64-character popularity contest. Our resident frenemy Corey Richmond joins the show to help us answer questions like: how big will the Tears of the Kingdom boost be? Are the Breath of the Wild Champions still popular? Why do people hate Yona so much? Will Purah use her newfound Mami powers to go deep in the tournament? Is Drip-King Yunobo going to be the most improved character year over year? And which character will ultimately win? You can fill out a bracket for yourself and WIN PRIZES if you win the tournament, so join in on the fun!

All this, PLUS Al goes head-to-head with Corey over Nintendo's explanation on where the Shiekah Tech all went and if their explanation was good enough or not. Don't miss out!

From teaching little kids about the Calamity to rebuilding Goddess Statues to racing minigames, we go over our list and detail which quests we found charming and fun and single out one or two that maybe indulged a bit too much (we're looking at you monster hunter!). Come follow along and let us know which pieces of optional content are your favorites!

We have a whole bevy of topics to cover, including: what hardware and software features do we want from the Switch 2? Who is the greatest Zelda NPC? Does it bother us that Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom seemingly don't care about the Zelda timeline? Speaking of, are we really going to get a ten-year Breath of the Wild 4K/HD port? Do we think there will be any 2D Zelda games coming soon? Is it possible more than one model of the Switch 2 launches? Was Fusing the answer to fan complaints about weapon durability?

In case you were living under a rock this week, we had a Nintendo Direct a couple of days ago, and it was certainly... something. Nintendo delivered an understandably muted Direct this month, so we discuss and dissect everything shown and talk about what games, if any, we're looking forward to. More importantly, we use what we saw - or rather, didn't see! - to speculate on when we can expect an official Switch 2 reveal, complete with rough timelines including when we think the next 3D Zelda is coming out! Come listen and make sure to let us know your theories and thoughts!

All this, PLUS we go over Eiji Aonuma confirming Tears of the Kingdom will have no DLC, and, hey! We're doing a fan Q&A show next week. Leave us a question to get it answered on the show!

We're back this week examining the Zelda Dungeon Writing Team's Daily Debates, and we've got some good ones this week, chief among them: is Tears of the Kingdom actually not getting any DLC? Why not? Should it have been announced already if so? We give our thoughts and theories, plus tackle other questions like: was Nintendo right to claim the dungeons in Tears were "traditional"? When do we think the next openworld Zelda game will be out (spoiler: Andy thinks it's closer than you think!)? What's up with the Breath of the Wild version of Hyrule and its inconsistencies with the lore of the series? Was there enough of a balance between old characters and new?

All this, PLUS a little GOTY discussion featuring Baulder's Gate III, and Switch 2 thoughts and theories. Come hang out!

Buckle in, because it's finally time! After months and months, we're finally giving our full, SPOILER FILLED, thoughts on the story of Tears of the Kingdom! Did we like the Zonai being gods? How could Ganondorf and Mineru have been handled better? Was "Fake Zelda" the biggest missed opportunity of the game? After an amazing final battle, did the ending feel too cheap? Would a Days of Future Past gimmick have worked well here? And does Nintendo's insistence of players being able to do anything, any time, anywhere hurt the story they were trying to tell?

All this, PLUS we talk about the Switch 2, September's hopeful Nintendo Direct, and DLC! Don't miss out on our greatest episode on Tears of the Kingdom yet, and make sure to let us know what you think!

The gang are joined this week by Omega Metroid Podcast co-host and musical scientist Doominal Crossing to analyze the music of Tears of the Kingdom. We all list off a couple tracks that we really liked, discuss whether the "Main Theme" and "Ganondorf Battle Theme" are what we were looking for, reflect on this style of soundtrack and how it compared to both Breath of the Wild and Zelda games of old, and hear Doom's thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom as a whole.

All this, PLUS some Barbenheimer chat, Metroid Prime talk, and a special surprise at the end! Don't miss out, and let us know what you think of Tears' OST!

We are kicking off The Wind Waker week at Zelda Dungeon with a personal, reflective look back at one of the most daring Zelda games of them all: the beautiful, cartoonish, ocean filled Wind Waker. The gang reflect back on their memories of the games announcement, the backlash against the cel-shaded graphics, the amazing pre-order bonus, how The Wind Waker created a separate visual style that's still going strong today, how the water always had so much promise and potential beyond the horizon, our favorite memories of playing Link's cel-shaded adventure, and so much more!

Strap your rose-tinted glasses on and get ready to smile as we look back on an all time great, PLUS, we're chatting about Final Fantasy VII, old emails, and Electronic Gaming Monthly! Come reminisce with us!

We're back again to talk sweet fits and great abilities! This week, we're breaking down every new outfit and armor set in Tears of the Kingdom, discussing such things like: the Froggy Suit and its false advertising of "slip prevention"; our ideas to make the Mystic Armor have an even better function; if the Dragon suits realize their full potential; why the Glider Armor is straight out of Batman and the Court of Owls; if bringing back the same outfits from Breath of the Wild was lazy and uninspired; and which outfit Link looks like the biggest stud in!

All this, and so much more! Come discuss fashion, function, and everything in between with us!

We're back into the full swing of things this week, and choosing violence in this episode as take Tears of the Kingdom to task for arguably one of its lazier decisions: bringing Korok Seeds back. We analyze why the decision was likely made, why it doesn't work a second time around, and if collectables with an asinine amount of things to collect are here to stay. We also take a look at some of the other collectables found in Hyrule, include Bubbel Gems, wells, Light Roots, Monster Medals, and more., as we weigh in on if we liked them or if they were a case of unnecessary padding.

All this, PLUS some Pikmin 4 talk, Tears of the Kingdom sales update, and more!! Come hang out with us!

We are back and (mostly) alive after a record-shattering Zelda Dungeon Marathon, so this week, we have a different, more relaxed episode as we look back on some of our favorite moments from the event. Everything from Andy and Al playing Tears of the Kingdom together to them squaring off against one another in ZD Family Feud to our adventures making poutine together, we recap a wonderful week full of great friends and no sleep! PLUS, at the end of the episode, we'll have audio from an interview conducted by The Zelda Cast's producer Adrielle Munger and Editor Nick Miller as the catch up with Patricia Summersett, the voice of Princess Zelda! The interview in in the middle of a convention, so there's a bit of noise, but all the great tidbits more than make up for that!

Come hang with us for a relaxed and casual episode!

Now that we're two months removed from the release of Tears of the Kingdom, our Zelda Dungeon writing team put together a great article asking a tough question - which is the better Zelda game: Tears of the Kingdom, or the game that came before and inspired it, Breath of the Wild? We go over some specific categories like which game had the better opening area, the better abilities/runes, the better Shrines, and more. Specifically, you'll want to hear our thoughts on the story presentation as Al and Andy get into a debate about which game had the better format. Make sure you check out the article here and vote for yourself!

All this, PLUS we are gearing up for our Hot Ones Zelda Dungeon Marathon episode live next week, so make sure you get a question in so we can answer it! Lastly, our first episode of the Zelda Cast Top Tens debuted this weekend, so check it out if you can! See you all next week at the ZD Marathon!

Hi friends. My name is Andy Spiteri and I’m the host of The Zelda Cast, the Omega Metroid Podcast, and Virtual Theater. As you can tell, I love podcasting!

I had started a Patreon exclusively for Omega Metroid, but I eventually decided that I wanted to morph that into something that was a little more… me, for lack of a better phrase. So here we are – the SPNet Patreon! SPNet is a name I made up to describe my Network of podcasts – The Zelda Cast, Omega Metroid Podcast, and Virtual Theater – and this Patreon has been restructured to double down on the things I do best – podcast!

You’ll have your choice of bonus shows, depending on what tiers you choose to sign up for! Each podcast has it’s own monthly bonus show: The Zelda Cast will have The Zelda Cast Top Ten’s, where we can have some fun and give out a classic ranking on different topics each month; Omega Metroid will continue with the Great Metroid Area Ranking, where we rank every area in the series; and Virtual Theater will debut The Spiteri's Review, a show where my wife and I will give some thoughts on movies or shows, old and new. All shows feature a level of interactivity where Patrons can weight in and vote on which topics, shows, and areas we discuss next!

I owe more than I can say to all my amazing co-hosts Alasyn Eletha, Gooey Fame, Dakota Lasky, Doominal Crossing, and all the various guests and former hosts that have been along for the ride. I’m excited to be able to offer even MORE podcast shows (I swore I’d never take on any more podcasting, but here I am!) and let fans steer the ship!

Thank you for reading and I hope that you join the ride!

Your pal,

Andy

Just like last week, let's start off with a big loud SPOILER WARNING for this weeks episode! As the name implies, we are going to be breaking down and analyzing every Dragon Tear cutscene in the game, so please exercise caution if you haven't completed the Geoglyph quest yet! With that out of the way, we are diving in depth to the Dragon Tears to discuss what we thought of the way the story was told, how Nintendo might better balance open world versus storytelling in the future, what our thoughts on key characters like Rauru, Sonia, and Ganondorf are, our predictions for the DLC and how it might tie into the mysterious dragons, and of course, our thoughts on the grand plan devised by Princess Zelda.

All this, PLUS we give our thoughts on the recent Nintendo Direct and talk about what we're looking forward to playing soon! Don't miss out on this action packed episode!

Now that we're a month out from the release of Tears of the Kingdom, the gang get together to break down one of the mostly hotly discussed and contested pieces of business heading into the sequel - the dungeons! We break down our thoughts on the structure of Tears of the Kingdom's dungeons and how they compare to traditional Zelda dungeons and Breath of the Wild's Divine Beasts, share our thoughts on returning to Hyrule Castle, and give grades to the new temples scattered across the land. This will obviously have some spoilers for the dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom, so listen at your own risk!

All this, PLUS we pick a winner for our Tears of the Kingdom giveaway and talk just a little more Spiderverse! Come weight in with your thoughts on the dungeons!

This week, we're exploring the Regional Phenomena main quest, with a focus on what's going on in Rito Village in Hebra and Goron City in Death Mountain! Come hear our thoughts how how we thought those quests progressed, what we thought of the dungeons (albeit, a brief synopsis), how Yunobo changed from Breath of the Wild and why we think Nintendo decided to move Teba to the side for Tulin, whether we found the quests fun or not, and our critiques of some of the cutscenes and dungeon names!

We're back with week two of our Tears of the Kingdom initial impressions! This time, we're talking about our thoughts on the Surface and how it differs from Breath of the Wild in places like Hateno and Lurelin, how Lookout Landing is a great introductory town, what some of our old favorite characters are up to, and the extensive cave systems hidden throughout Hyrule. We then shift over to talk about the Depths and how cool they are, some of the things we've found, and how crazy it was Nintendo didn't promote them more in the build up to the game. Lastly, we talk about the Sky, how we typically get up there, the challenges of exploring them, and some of the minigames up there!

All this, PLUS we're talking Tears selling a staggering 10 million copies in three days! Next week, we're tackling the Regional Phenomenon and exploring the Rito and Goron areas! Make sure you tune in!

Welcome to the Tears of the Kingdom era of the Zelda Cast! We spent all weekend pouring every ounce of our being into the game, but for today, we're going to talk about our initial impressions! We go over the opening prologue of the game, detailing our thoughts on the story so far, including the Zonai and the how the opening compares to the initial reveal trailer, what we think of the Great Sky Islands and how it serves as an opening tutorial area, and our thoughts on how all of the new abilities feel, specifically Ultrahand and crafting. All this, PLUS some midnight release stories and other stray thoughts.

This is just the beginning of our extensive Tears of the Kingdom coverage, so keep it locked on the Zelda Cast as we explore more and more of the game each week!

We are now less than TWO WEEKS away from Tears of the Kingdom, and to get us in the mood, Andy is joined by Gooey Fame to answer YOUR Zelda questions! On the docket this episode: Do we think Tears of the Kingdom will be worth the $70 price tag? Was Nintendo right by not showing us anything for so long? What are our thoughts on Tulin? Do we think the original runes from Breath of the Wild are coming back? Is there a specific enemy we'd love to see come back that hasn't been shown already? What are our thoughts on going in blind to a game versus pouring over all the content released? How do we want Koroks to be utilized in this game? How do we like our voice acting in Zelda games?

All this, PLUS we take a moment to shout out Andy's cat Zora on her 10th birthday (

Alasyn is away for the next couple weeks, so for this episode, Andy orchestrated an Omega Metroid takeover! Omega Metroid Podcasts' Dakota Lasky and Community Manager Lillith join the show today to talk some Zelda in general and Tears of the Kingdom specifically. We discuss how the two of them became Zelda fans, which games are their favorites and why, which Zelda games they're not in love with, and then transition over to Tears of the Kingdom and ask if the latest trailer finally sold them, thoughts on the voice acting, if time travel would improve the experience, how the main theme compares to others before it, and whether or not it's possible Zelda could still be playable in any way.

Come hear about Tears of the Kingdom through a couple Metroid fans' perspective, and don't forget to check out OmegaMetroid.com!

WOW! THAT'S what we've been waiting for! In case you've been living under a rock, Nintendo released the third and final trailer for Tears of the Kingdom and it was by far the most exciting trailer shown so far! This week, the gang break down the trailer frame by frame, discussing where (or when) Zelda could have gotten off to, who the mysterious woman with light in her hands could be, the re-imagining of Gleeok and other bosses, if the Zonai in the trailer is the same one from the mural, how sky islands and caves might be connected, some of the new gameplay shots, and of course, THE RETURN OF THE KING OF EVIL, Mr. Hydrated Ganondorf himself!

THIS was the trailer that finally did it, and we can barely contain our excitement! Come hang out with us as we break this trailer down!

With Tears of the Kingdom so close we can almost touch it, we thought it would be a great time to reflect back on Breath of the Wild and break down one of the most crucial elements of the game: Shrine Quests! We're ranking each and every single Shrine Quest, although there's no way we could have fit it all into one episode, so we're giving you PART ONE this week! We discuss what we like in our Shrine Quests, puzzles versus story and they play into each other, the fantastic Eventide Island get away, and tackle 23 of 42 Shrine Quests! We'll have the full breakdown of our list next week, so be sure to check out Part Two!

All this, PLUS we give our early thoughts on the Super Mario Bros. Movie and where Nintendo might go next in its cinematic endeavours!

Come hear our thoughts on Link's new abilities, what possibilities Fuse and Ultrahand present, our thoughts on the Zonai being more-or-less confirmed, what we noticed in terms of Easter eggs in the trailer, the Skyward Sword influences and new Construct enemies, how this game can make returning to the same world enticing again, and the million dollar question: was this enough to really give Tears of the Kingdom its own identity beyond just "more Breath of the Wild"?

Come hang out with us and get pumped as we Fuse, Ascend, Recall, and ULTRAHAND our way through this Ultra episode!

It's another slow week of Zelda news - which is crazy, considering Tears of the Kingdom is 6 weeks away - so to pass the time, we asked YOU for your Zelda-themed "Would You Rather" questions, and you guys delivered big time! On the docket: would we rather wait longer for a new 3D game or have more new 2D games? Would we rather have non-Zelda costumes in future games or no Zelda representation in Smash Bros.? Would we rather Zelda music on Youtube or Zelda ports on the Switch? Would we rather Monk Maz Koshia or Tingle win a Zelda Dungeon contest? We even have a Tim Horton's themed question!

All this, PLUS a plethora of different questions, a podcast guest appearance tease, and some Omega Metroid news!

After taking a break from the game last week, the Cast are back to finish off their discussion on The Minish Cap! This week, we dive into the numerous charming dungeons in the game, expand on our "less is more" mantra, talk about the bosses and items, and count just how many Darknuts you actually fight in Dark Hyrule Castle! We don't see the dungeons eye to eye, so some negotiating might be in order!

All this, PLUS we're throwing some of the latest Zelda news at you, talking about Alasyn's Breath of the Wild vs Tears of the Kingdom thread, thoughts on The Last of Us, and gearing up for NEXT WEEK, where you can ask us a Zelda-themed 'Would You Rather' question! Come hang out with us!

With the recent addition of Game Boy Advance games to Nintendo Switch Online, there are a ton of people checking out arguably the most underrated Zelda game for either the first time or first time a long time: The Minish Cap! One of Andy's favorite Zelda games, The Minish Cap was the one game Alasyn hadn't played in forever, so after finishing, the gang get together to dive deep into the charming art style of the game, its great usage of items, how the Kinstone quest could have been improved, whether Vaati is a great villain our not, the lore behind the Four Sword, the mechanics of the world-within-a-world, and so much more!

Come hang out with us as we talk Minish Cap, sprinkle in some Twilight Princess, and reveal some new Zelda Cast merch!

Al has taken over the show, and while we continue to wait for more Zelda news, we thought it would be fun to talk about something a little different this week. February has been a big month for Nintendo fans, and that included the grand opening of the highly anticipated Nintendo-themed amusement park, Super Nintendo World! A few members of the ZD staff were able to visit the park this past week, so we wanted to bring a couple of them onto the show and hear their thoughts on the experience while it was still fresh in their minds.

How was the overall atmosphere and immersion of the park? What about the rides? Were there any notable Easter Eggs? Come listen as Rod Lloyd and Alex Weber answer all these questions and more!

With each new teaser that Nintendo drops on Tears of the Kingdom comes more footage for the community to analyze and theorize about. We're back this week to discuss your latest theories, thoughts, and questions-- still so, so many questions!-- following  Nintendo's latest Direct and trailer for the upcoming title. What is all this green stuff? Is it good, or is it like Malice? Is Zelda really going to die? Will the "tears" help us rebuild the Master Sword, or will they be used to upgrade Link's new abilities? Join us as we dive head first into all these questions and more!

We've come down (a bit) from the highs of last weeks Nintendo Direct, and now that our brains are functioning again, we're ready to analyze the heck out of the newest Tears of the Kingdom trailer! Come break it down with us as we discuss voice acting, Ganondorf, Redeads, Breath of the Wild's Hyrule, Collectors Editions, amiibo, the green energy stuff, our theories on what's going on with Zelda, who "HIM" could refer to, what could replace Shrines, John Deere tractors, and more! Plus, the million dollar question - is this it? Or is Nintendo still holding back something monumental?

Despite Nintendo arguably holding back yet again on Tears of the Kingdom, there was no doubt that the trailer we saw for the game was by far the meatiest one yet. Add in the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance NSO news, with The Minish Cap and Link's Awakening DX being playable RIGHT NOW with the Oracles not far behind it, and there was more Zelda news in this 40 minutes than there has been in seemingly years! Add in Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, and more games, and this might have been the greatest Nintendo Direct ever!

If you missed Andy and Al's reactions and thoughts live, come relive them now, and make sure to hang with us this weekend as we break down all the trailers frame by frame!

Open world games have come a long way in the last few years, and with Tears of the Kingdom approaching, the Cast figured it was a good time to play some contemporary titles to see what the upcoming Zelda game might learn from those titles. Joined by Rod Lloyd for this episode, the gang discuss Elden Ring and Horizon Zero Dawn and lay out what they like about those games, what they dislike, and what they would like to see - or NOT see - applied from those games to Tears of the Kingdom!

Come hang out and weigh in on some of the hot takes thrown out about Soulsborne games, whether Horizon's story is one of the best ever, and if Andy should keep playing Elden Ring or not!

Get ready for the rematch! Last year, to celebrate 200 episodes of The Zelda Cast, we took on the team over at Omega Metroid in Zelda & Metroid Trivia and came up short. This year, to celebrate FIVE YEARS and 250 EPISODES, the two teams clash again! Dakota Lasky and Doominal Crossing of Omega Metroid take on Alasyn Eletha and Adrielle Munger of the Zelda Cast, with Andy Spiteri as the master of ceremonies and Jules Gia as the arbiter of justice! Come and put YOUR Zelda/Metroid knowledge to the test and see which team comes out on top!

Thank you to everyone for supporting and listening to the Zelda Cast over the last five years; we couldn't do it without you! Here's to five more!

If you haven't heard, Zelda Dungeon is celebrating its first Dungeon Week since 2018, where the writing staff deep dives into their favorite dungeons in the series and asks compelling questions about the state of dungeons in the series. We thought we would get in on the fun by discussing EVERY Zelda game and what our favorite dungeons from each game are. From some obvious pics (*cough*ForestTemple*cough*) to some real outside the box selections, we're sure that if nothing else, you'll have something to debate after you hear our list!

All this, PLUS our plans for next weeks 250th episode, we pick a winner for the merch giveaway, and if you stick around until the very end, you'll get a special treat!
