With the dust settling with the Switch 2 announcement, we finally get to all of your listener questions, and boy oh boy, did you guys come through! So much actually that we had to break up the episode into two parts! This week, we're tackling questions like: do we think we'll play as the Ancient Hero Aspect in Age of Imprisonment? What do we think of the Zelda movie's release date? Is Tears of the Kingdom's Imprisoning War the same as Skyward Sword's? Would Rauru be a good fit for the next Smash Bros. game?
All this, PLUS our thoughts on the Switch 2 pre-order situation (seemingly) sorting itself out in North America, thoughts on amiibo pricing, and more!

Andy and Al are back at it after a crazy week of news updates regarding tariffs, Switch 2 pre-orders, and misinformation about game prices, to only name a few things! We catch everybody up on the latest happenings, and then finally jump into the Age of Imprisonment trailer to dissect who we might be playing as, what details we can discern from the footage, and if we believe Nintendo that this time, the Hyrule Warriors story will be canonical or not!
We're doing a Q&A next week, so make sure to head over to Bluesky, Discord, or Spotify to leave a comment and question!

Strap in, because there's a lot to talk about this week. Just a few short days after the Switch 2 Direct, the real world geopolitical landscape took center stage to create a perfect storm surrounding Nintendo's latest console, the price of its games, the delay in pre-orders, and fan outrage - towards both Nintendo and the government. We try and unpack a crazy past coupe of days to make sense of everything, give our feelings and opinions, and offer some suggestions to those upset about the price.
Due to the nature of the situation, this episode won't be for everyone, so if you just want to talk Zelda only, skip to about the 40 minute mark on the show. Let us know what your thoughts are, and we'll keep the updates coming as we get them!

WOW! Today was the day that Nintendo fans have been waiting for: The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and boy what a show we got! After months of anticipation since the January 18th reveal of the console and a lower key Switch 1 Direct last week to briefly tide us over, Nintendo finally delivered the megaton of Switch 2 information that we've been craving.
Among the key announcement were the price and release date, Mario Kart World, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, GameCube games coming to Nintendo Switch Online, loads of killer 3rd party titles, console specs, voice chat and screen sharing, options to upgrade your Switch 1 games - including Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and FINALLY, the confirmation of METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND – NINTENDO SWITCH 2 EDITION!
It's a Zelda Cast x Omega Metroid crossover, as Andy Spiteri, Doominal Crossing and Alasyn Eletha watch the Direct live and give their full comprehensive thoughts on the presentation.

It's been a long time coming, but we're finally discussing one of the greatest games of all time in a more in-depth manor: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past! We're Definitively Ranking the game, assigning scores to each of the ten key categories that define a great Zelda game: the world, the art style, the gameplay, the pacing, the story, the music, the enemies and bosses, the dungeons, the items, and the side content. We pay our respects to one of the greats while also giving some fair critiques, so come and let us know what you think!
JUST AS A REMINDER THERE IS NO SHOW NEXT MONDAY! Instead, we'll be livestreaming the Switch 2 Direct on our Twitch channel and releasing the episode later that day, April 2nd! See you then!

We're getting closer to the launch of the Switch 2 and to fill the time, we are taking your questions this week! We asked you guys for your fan questions, and you delivered in a big way. We're covering a whole variety of topics, including: what changes to the Tears of the Kingdom's Depths would have made them more engaging? What item from a 3D game would work well in a 2D game and vice versa? Would we be interested in a Zelda visual novel game? Who has the best facial hair in the Zelda series? What's the best starter game for a new Zelda fan? What's our favorite region from Breath of the Wild? All this, and so many more!
Make sure to check out our live stream of the Switch 2 direct on our Twitch channel on April 2nd, and don't forget to check out Musical March Madness 2025. See you next week!

We're back, and with the end of the Switch's life coming this year, we thought it would be a nice time to reflect back on the console that has been with us for our entire run on the Zelda Cast. We talk about our top favorite games from the console, which feature a who's who of familiar favorites and a few smaller entries that snuck in as well. Super Mario, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Stardew Valley, and more all show up, plus a debate on the legacy of Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild.
We're doing a Q&A next week, so come and make your voices heard and get your questions in!
