This episode contains spoilers for Age of Imprisonment!!
Welcome back for another episode of The Zelda Cast! This week, Andy is off handling Metroid business now that Metroid Prime 4 has released. That leaves Al to play host, and she is joined by the podcast’s Social Media Manager, Jules!
We discuss Jules’ overall impression of Age of Imprisonment, as well as answer some thought provoking Daily Debates. Do the comparisons to Zelda game design make us want to play Metroid Prime 4?

And most important of all, what is our final review score??

With a bit more time to chew on Age of Imprisonment, the gang talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the game so far, including: how did we feel the four Sages came across? What were our thoughts on the Mysterious Construct flying levels? Initial reactions to Calamo? Should Koei-Temco make a Star Fox game?

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is finally out, and the guys have a lot to say about it! We go over our early impressions, detailing which playable characters we like, how we found the Sync-Strike system, how Tears of the Kingdom's Zonai devices are integrated into gameplay, what we think of the story so far, if it stays true to its claims of being canonical, and how the game starts off weirdly fast and slow at the same time. Lots of thought floating around, so come and get in on the action and tell us what you think!
This episode does contain spoilers for chapter 1 and 2 of Age of Imprisonment!! Going forward, we'll be sure to very clearly state which chapters we cover so nothing gets ruined for you! If you want, save these episodes and come back when you're ready!

We are only a mere handful of days away from the release of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, so this week, the gang give their final thoughts on the lead-up and last hopes for what the game will have or not. We discuss things like the story, the credibility Hyrule Warriors games will have in the future if this is another non-canonical tale, if this is the right game at the right time for the Switch 2, how Tears of the Kingdom set Age of Imprisonment up for failure, and more!
All this, PLUS a few Daily Debate questions answered centring around the Virtual Boy and Wii U Zelda tech demo! Come hang out!

We're back again this week with a pitch! Andy has worked diligently on a rewritten story for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and is here to share it with the world! This version of the events in Age of Calamity aims to solve one of our biggest issues with the original game, its non-canon narrative. Join us as Andy presents his canonical "Spiteri Cut" of Age of Calamity - all while keeping the time travel elements intact! And let us know what you think of this version of events! Would you play this game?
All this, PLUS our takes on the latest Age of Imprisonment trailer! Come hang out with us!
