Curiosity Shop #120: Zelda Dungeon Mailbag (Zelda 3DS)

Hey guys! New mailbag! This time around, the questions are pretty surprising: We have a whopping 15 questions, and the vast majority of them are about the new A Link to the Past sequel coming out on the 3DS. So, this is indeed a themed mailbag once again. I’m sure we’re going to have a lot of questions about Zelda 3DS and Zelda Wii U in the coming months, though. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or check out the embed after the jump.

Questions and timestamps:

(00:22) – What do you do while waiting for a new Zelda game?
(00:33) – What aspect of the Zelda fan community do you favor the most? Art? Remixes? Etc.
