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…

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…

We’re back with a later-than-usual episode of the Zelda Cast Top Tens, but we think the wait will be worth it!

Also on tap is the top ten… fish in the series??? Hey, you guys voted for it! This episode was recorded LIVE from the Zelda Dungeon Marathon, so get in…

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…

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…

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%…

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…

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…

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,…
