We are now less than TWO WEEKS away from Tears of the Kingdom, and to get us in the mood, Andy is joined by Gooey Fame to answer YOUR Zelda questions! On the docket this episode: Do we think Tears of the Kingdom will be worth the $70 price tag? Was Nintendo right by not showing us anything for so long? What are our thoughts on Tulin? Do we think the original runes from Breath of the Wild are coming back? Is there a specific enemy we'd love to see come back that hasn't been shown already? What are our thoughts on going in blind to a game versus pouring over all the content released? How do we want Koroks to be utilized in this game? How do we like our voice acting in Zelda games?
All this, PLUS we take a moment to shout out Andy's cat Zora on her 10th birthday (<3)!! Come join the fun and join us next week for our final show before the big game finally drops!!

Alasyn is away for the next couple weeks, so for this episode, Andy orchestrated an Omega Metroid takeover! Omega Metroid Podcasts' Dakota Lasky and Community Manager Lillith join the show today to talk some Zelda in general and Tears of the Kingdom specifically. We discuss how the two of them became Zelda fans, which games are their favorites and why, which Zelda games they're not in love with, and then transition over to Tears of the Kingdom and ask if the latest trailer finally sold them, thoughts on the voice acting, if time travel would improve the experience, how the main theme compares to others before it, and whether or not it's possible Zelda could still be playable in any way.
Come hear about Tears of the Kingdom through a couple Metroid fans' perspective, and don't forget to check out OmegaMetroid.com!

WOW! THAT'S what we've been waiting for! In case you've been living under a rock, Nintendo released the third and final trailer for Tears of the Kingdom and it was by far the most exciting trailer shown so far! This week, the gang break down the trailer frame by frame, discussing where (or when) Zelda could have gotten off to, who the mysterious woman with light in her hands could be, the re-imagining of Gleeok and other bosses, if the Zonai in the trailer is the same one from the mural, how sky islands and caves might be connected, some of the new gameplay shots, and of course, THE RETURN OF THE KING OF EVIL, Mr. Hydrated Ganondorf himself!
THIS was the trailer that finally did it, and we can barely contain our excitement! Come hang out with us as we break this trailer down!

With Tears of the Kingdom so close we can almost touch it, we thought it would be a great time to reflect back on Breath of the Wild and break down one of the most crucial elements of the game: Shrine Quests! We're ranking each and every single Shrine Quest, although there's no way we could have fit it all into one episode, so we're giving you PART ONE this week! We discuss what we like in our Shrine Quests, puzzles versus story and they play into each other, the fantastic Eventide Island get away, and tackle 23 of 42 Shrine Quests! We'll have the full breakdown of our list next week, so be sure to check out Part Two!
All this, PLUS we give our early thoughts on the Super Mario Bros. Movie and where Nintendo might go next in its cinematic endeavours!

We finally got a new look at some of the gameplay of Tears of the Kingdom this past week, and we have A LOT to say! Come hear our thoughts on Link's new abilities, what possibilities Fuse and Ultrahand present, our thoughts on the Zonai being more-or-less confirmed, what we noticed in terms of Easter eggs in the trailer, the Skyward Sword influences and new Construct enemies, how this game can make returning to the same world enticing again, and the million dollar question: was this enough to really give Tears of the Kingdom its own identity beyond just "more Breath of the Wild"?
Come hang out with us and get pumped as we Fuse, Ascend, Recall, and ULTRAHAND our way through this Ultra episode!

It's another slow week of Zelda news - which is crazy, considering Tears of the Kingdom is 6 weeks away - so to pass the time, we asked YOU for your Zelda-themed "Would You Rather" questions, and you guys delivered big time! On the docket: would we rather wait longer for a new 3D game or have more new 2D games? Would we rather have non-Zelda costumes in future games or no Zelda representation in Smash Bros.? Would we rather Zelda music on Youtube or Zelda ports on the Switch? Would we rather Monk Maz Koshia or Tingle win a Zelda Dungeon contest? We even have a Tim Horton's themed question!
All this, PLUS a plethora of different questions, a podcast guest appearance tease, and some Omega Metroid news!

After taking a break from the game last week, the Cast are back to finish off their discussion on The Minish Cap! This week, we dive into the numerous charming dungeons in the game, expand on our "less is more" mantra, talk about the bosses and items, and count just how many Darknuts you actually fight in Dark Hyrule Castle! We don't see the dungeons eye to eye, so some negotiating might be in order!
All this, PLUS we're throwing some of the latest Zelda news at you, talking about Alasyn's Breath of the Wild vs Tears of the Kingdom thread, thoughts on The Last of Us, and gearing up for NEXT WEEK, where you can ask us a Zelda-themed 'Would You Rather' question! Come hang out with us!

Get ready for the fifth annual Musical March Madness! As we do every year, The Zelda Cast goes and picks our favorite songs of the tournament one by one until we arrive at a winner!

Make sure that you get in on the action and fill out a prediction of your own to win some prizes! Remember - it's a popularity contest, so pick who you think will win, not necessarily who you would vote for!

With the recent addition of Game Boy Advance games to Nintendo Switch Online, there are a ton of people checking out arguably the most underrated Zelda game for either the first time or first time a long time: The Minish Cap! One of Andy's favorite Zelda games, The Minish Cap was the one game Alasyn hadn't played in forever, so after finishing, the gang get together to dive deep into the charming art style of the game, its great usage of items, how the Kinstone quest could have been improved, whether Vaati is a great villain our not, the lore behind the Four Sword, the mechanics of the world-within-a-world, and so much more!
Come hang out with us as we talk Minish Cap, sprinkle in some Twilight Princess, and reveal some new Zelda Cast merch!
