Curiosity Shop #136: Zelda Dungeon Mailbag (Axle’s Back!)

Hey there, guys. It’s been a long time, but I’ve finally got a new mailbag. This week we’ve got a surprising variety of questions, considering there are two major Zelda games I never talked about after they came out. But hey! We’ll focus on Breath of the Wild a bit in this video. I hope you guys enjoy it after all this time! And if you’re curious, explanations for my absence will be up soon here.

Questions and timestamps:

(02:13) – I was wondering what your thoughts were on all the Zelda’s that have come out since you left? Also, have you gotten a chance to play Zelda 2 yet?
(03:38) – What do you think of Breath of the Wild‘s lack of music and story?
(05:49) – Since Breath of the Wild took so long just to develop the game’s complicated engine, how would you feel about Nintendo doing a sort of “Majora’s Mask” approach with the next game where they use a lot of the technical things made for Breath of the Wild but with a new gameplay twist and a particularly unique world? They would probably release it late in the Switch’s lifespan too.
(07:47) – Did the hang glider work?
(07:57) – What dungeon did you most enjoy in A Link Between Worlds?
(09:19) – Which is your favorite and least favorite version of Ganon(dorf) from the Zelda games and why?
(10:28) – Will the next Zelda game be a Skyward Sword prequel?
(10:39) – Do you think we’ll ever get an official Zelda game with sprite-based graphics again? Last one we got was The Minish Cap, and that was almost 15 years ago…
(11:30) – Which Zelda game should get a sequel?

Be sure to submit your name/username and questions to the mailbag email at mailbag@zeldadungeon.net for next week’s mailbag! You can also reach out to me on Twitter or Facebook, or use the Mailbag Thread on the forums!

Can you guess the quote on the paper, the sound at the beginning, or any of the music? Include them all with your question, and you might guarantee it gets answered! How about your thoughts about the questions? What do you think of Breath of the Wild‘s smaller amount of music and story? What’s your favorite dungeon in A Link Between Worlds? And what Zelda game should get a sequel? Tell me your thoughts on these and any other questions you want in the comments!
