Welcome welcome to another fine episode of the best, most fun Zelda podcast around! This week, the gang tackle a whole plethora of Daily Debate questions at a rapid fire pace - why don't we think Link's Awakening Switch is as great as DX? What character would we put into a different Zelda game? Do we want to see a sequel to Twilight Princess? Does technology take away from the fantasy elements of the series? Are we worried about yearly releases in the franchise? What's the most common thing we mispronounce in the Zelda universe?
Come join in on the fun, and if you're a Metroid fan, be sure to check out The Omega Metroid Podcast, the sister show to the Champions' Cast, as Andy gives his one of a kind opinion and insight into the Metroid franchise with the charm and great material you come to expect on our show, debuting March 3rd!

Hey folks! There's not really any Zelda news this week, so we thought we'd play a little game to pass the time! Back by popular demand, it's Guess That Zelda Character! This time, we limited it to 16 (wooo!) yes or no questions to try and figure out the character the other had picked!
Come play along with us, and if you're looking for even more fun after the episode is over, go check out Gooey and I's podcast all about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie we mentioned at the top of the show!

Buckle in get ready for storytime! We explore all the rumors and whispers surrounding what may be the most high profile game Nintendo never made The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Secrets! Did this game really use a hourglass to control time? What about having different tunics for light and dark? What was this supposed to play like? And then the real meat of the story - testimony from a supposed translator for Nintendo that played a beta version!
You have to hear this outrageous story to believe it! DO NOT MISS this episode, and read along with the original version of the story here.

Grab your Game Boy Advances (and bring your link cables too) as we do a deep dive this week into the single most underappreciated Zelda game - Four Swords Adventures! I just finished playing a solo run of this game for the first time and have lots of thoughts - how is it solo compared to multiplayer? Is it a pain to set up? How does one player control four Link's? And then we shift over to the story, which is actually bonkers and full of lore. Did the four Royal Guards of Hyrule inspire the Champions? How is Ganondorf back if this game takes place after he's supposed to be dead? We actually get an explanation of who Dark Link is and where he comes from! And what does it have to do with the Twili??
Even if you've never played Four Swords Adventures, you do not want to miss out on this show!

92 episodes in and we finally have an episode of the Champions' Cast all about... the Champions! Mipha, Urbosa, Daruk, and Revali - what did we like from them, is there any chance we see them in the sequel, did we like their send off in Breath of the Wild? Sidon, Riju, Yunobo, and Teba - what do we want from them in the sequel, what would make them stand out more, and should they be playable characters?
All this, plus Byleth talk! Make sure you don't miss out!

This week, we have a very special show for everyone - a question mailbag episode! We take all of YOUR questions and answer them in a fun back and forth that features a new special guest on the show, Brittany Reginelli! Should Link and Zelda have a kid? What's one mechanic from one Zelda we'd like to see in another? Are classic 2D games dead? Should the new Champions from Breath of the Wild play a large role in the sequel?
All this and more! Listen here!
