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…

Another year, another chance to vote for your favorite song in Zelda Dungeon’s sixth annual Musical March Madness!! The 64-song single elimination tournament returns yet again, and we’re going through and picking out what songs we think are going to end up winning this year!

Welcome to the Springtime, where to honor the longer days and flowers blooming, we’re back with another Top Tens episode! This week I’m joined by Zelda Cast producer and good pal Adrielle Munger to tackle a couple different topics! We go over and talk about the best designs over the years for Princess Zelda, from her more recent turn as an ancient Sage of Time in years past in Tears of the Kingdom to her… unconventional turn in the CD-i’s…

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…

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…

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!…

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…

Welcome back to another months worth of listing, debating, and ranking! This month, Al is back on the show to talk all things LOOOOVEEE as we count down the top love interests that Link has had in the series (sorry guys, no Sidon, though we tried), from the fun and cute flings to the heartbreaking romances that destiny just wouldn’t allow. Plus, we’re counting down the best Zelda announcement trailers of all time (only rule is the trailer needed to…

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…

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…
