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…

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…

The Zelda Cast Top Tens is back in action for the last tine in 2023! This month, I’m joined by Zelda Cast producer and social media guru Cal as we break down an underrated and subtle quality to any Zelda game: the menus! We go over our top Zelda menus and discuss what makes the perfect menu, and then (fittingly enough, cause it’s super snowy in Canada!) talk about our favorite snowy areas in the series! A nice mix of…

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…

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…

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…

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;…

Another month, another episode of The Zelda Cast Top Tens! This month, I’m joined by Zelda Cast Social Media Lead Joe Maw to discuss the weird and wild world of Zelda theories. Everything from the Timeline to the “Link is dead” theory are discussed as we weight their merits and talk about which ones we think are cooler than others. We then flips gears to talk about the Zelda movie, discussing which actors would be great to play obscure Zelda…

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…

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…
