Welcome to... Virtual Theater?! We've got a special episode for you! I'm moving this weekend and Al is busy, so instead of skipping a week, we decided to pull an episode out of the vaults that up until now has been Patreon exclusive to Virtual Theater podcast listeners! If you didn't know, Virtual Theater is my other podcast, where we focus on video game movies and the stories that shape them, and one sub-series we've been doing is an episode-by-episode commentary on the ridiculous Legend of Zelda 80's cartoon!
Come and laugh with Gooey and I as we go over episode #1 "The Ringer"! If you like what you hear and want to listen to more, please consider heaving over to Virtual Theater's Patreon page and becoming a member to get the rest of the series plus tons of other bonus content!
Enjoy, and see everyone in real time next week!

Wow.
That was certainly a twist, wasn't it? This week, we go FULL SPOILERS into our thoughts on the story and premise of Age of Calamity? How does it all fit together? Will this change the events of Breath of the Wild and Breath of the Wild 2? What other games or movies have used a similar trope well? Are we disappointed or excited? All this, and so much more!
PLUS, our thoughts on the actual gameplay! How are Impa and Zelda to control? What's up with the frame rate? How are the new voice actors? Come theorize with us and let us know your own theories!

Happy Halloween everybody! We've got a scaaaaary episode for you today that focuses all on the scariest dungeons and locals in the Zelda series! Of course, we know places like the Shadow Temple and Arbiter’s Grounds will show up, but what makes them so scary? What other dungeons try to be scary and miss the mark? And does darkness = spooky?
Come hang with us as we get into the Halloween spirit, and also hear our thoughts on Hestu in Age of Calamity and a cool Symphony of the Mask trick!

Get ready to groove this week! The gang break down all their thoughts about the final piece of DLC for the rhythm based Zelda adventure Cadence of Hyrule. How is playing as Skull Kid? What are the different masks like? Is the music as great as what we expect? Will the punishing difficulty be too much for some players to overcome? And more importantly - should you buy it?
Come see if Symphony of the Mask is music to our ears or a broken record!
PLUS - Who was that guy at the end of the latest Age of Calamity trailer? We have some thoughts! Come find out!

Last week, I boldly claimed that Monk Maz Koshia, the final boss from The Champions' Ballad, might be the greatest boss fight in the entire series. This week, we put that to the test, as Alasyn, Rod Lloyd and I all came up with top ten lists for the best of the series! Epic final confrontations? You know it! Seriously fun fights with cool items? Yessir! Classic Zelda enemies and new ones alike? Of course!
Come debate with us and make sure you let us know your own top 10 lists!

It's time to put a bow on the emotional and fantastic DLC from Breath of the Wild! Today, we go over all of the trials and Shrines in each Champions song, talk about the Final Divine Beast, gush over that amazing final boss fight, and explore whether or not the extra memories added in The Champions' Ballad did enough for each Champion, and how Age of Calamity can finally give us closure for Mipha, Urbosa, Daruk, and Revali.
All this PLUS our thoughts on Minecraft Steve joining Smash Bros.! You do not want to miss this action packed episode!

You have questions about Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity? We have answers! We asked you guys to feed us your most pressing questions about the upcoming prequel and you did not disappoint. Alasyn and I answer over 50 questions! Do we think Zelda's mother will show up? What kind of DLC do we want? What Breath of the Wild tracks do we want remixed in the signature Hyrule Warriors style sound? Will we see Purah in her adult form? Is there any way we get a happy ending? Will Cia and Lana show up?
