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!

Alasyn is joined this week by The Zelda Cast producer Cal, and ZD YouTube extraordinaire Corey Richmond, and we decided that it was time to bring "Guess That Zelda Location" back from the grave! A spin-off on the classic "Guess That Zelda Character", this is Al's favorite game to play whenever Andy is away. So join in on the fun as we try to guess each other's Zelda locations in 16 questions or less!

This week, we're taking the show a place it's never gone before: back to the launch of the Wii U! We're reviewing the Zelda-themed attraction Battle Quest, which was one of twelve Nintendo franchise themed mini games included in the Wii U launch title / showcase game Nintendo Land! We talk about the levels, swordfighting with the Wiimote versus archery with the Game Pad, the design of the sock-puppet characters, if Nintendo Land contributed to the Wii U's poor first impression, some of the other attractions in the game, and maybe most importantly: if there was a reason we had never talked about Battle Quest before.
Come listen, and don't forget: TWO DAYS until you can come support Andy and the Omega Metroid team as they stream on YouTube Feb 12-16 raising money for the Trevor Project! See the full details, schedules, special guests and more here!

Andy's back! After two weeks off gallivanting doing who-knows-what, Spiteri rejoins the show to catch up with Al and give some thoughts on Nintendo's reveal of the Switch 2 and what we can expect from the console. We also take a quick trip through memory lane, talking about the Zelda series and its growth over the Switch era, looking at all the games and different ways Nintendo them more accessible to new players. Lastly, we talk sales figures for Breath of the Wild, some other major Nintendo franchises, and remember our Switch memories as the sun starts to set on the Big N's hybrid console.
Lastly - WE HAVE AN OMEGA METROID MARATHON TO ANNOUNCE! Come support Andy and the Omega Metroid team as they stream on YouTube Feb 12-16 raising money for the Trevor Project! See the full details, schedules, special guests and more here!

Al is at the helm once again, and this week she is joined by one of The Zelda Cast's producers, Cal! Now, many might not know this, but this mashup happened once before, on a Zelda Cast Top Tens Patreon episode last summer. Well, that happens to be the inspiration for today's episode. Alasyn and Cal decided to expand beyond their opinions of that one bonus episode, and share their top picks on every bonus episode!
What are the best sound effects from the series? The best Zelda theories? Or what about the best single-dungeon-use item? Join us as we get into all these topics and more!

Welcome back for a new episode of the BEST Zelda podcast ever, folks! This week, Al is joined by The Zelda Cast's social media manager, Jules! In celebration of The Minish Cap's 20th anniversary (per the North American release on January 10th, 2005), we get down to business and definitively rank the most charming Zelda game. We discuss the game's world, story, pacing, dungeons, side content and more! And don't worry, we didn't forget about that little nugget of news Nintendo dropped earlier this week!
Give us a listen to hear our initial thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, our Minish Cap rankings, and more!
