Category: The Zelda Cast

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…

Welcome to the Tears of the Kingdom era of the Zelda Cast! We spent all weekend poring 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…

IT’S THE FINAL WEEK! This will be our final show before Tears of the Kingdom finally releases, and we’re wrapping up our Shrine Quest Ranking from Breath of the Wild! Al returns to finish the last 20 or so Shrine Quests from the game, so strap in and come tell us if you agree or disagree with our final rankings, and if we ranked any of your favorites too low! PLUS, we take a look at the recent Zelda Dungeon…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

We finally got a new look at some of the gameplay of Tears of the Kingdom this past week, and we have A LOT to say! 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…

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…

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…
