Episode 76: Customizing Link, Metal Gear Sheik, and Caring About More Than The Game ft. PaperBoxHouse and Caleb!

Earlier this week, Nintendo showcased their latest Partner Direct, and in it, we saw the latest trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment! While there wasn't a ton of info revealed, there was enough shown for us to sink our teeth into, including: who is the Gerudo sage, and could she be a familiar name to us? What or who is being built an the end of the trailer and could it be related to the Ancient Hero? What's up with Fi's theme playing at the end? These, plus many other questions, observations, and theories! All this, PLUS we go over the latest Nintendo financials and talk about what other games shown off in the Direct we're interested in!

Well, we didn't have a show last week because we were keeping a big secret - Andy was able to get a last minute trip booked to the 2025 Zelda Dungeon Marathon, which was an incredible success, raising nearly $12K for No Kid Hungry! This also meant that Andy and Al got to podcast together in person, and we decided that we wanted to let our friends and fellow attendee's get in on the action! We'll hear from Cal, Adrielle, Katherine, Sean, Ashtyn, Palimer, and so many more as we discuss an incredible week of gaming, charity, friendship, and so much more! PLUS, our thoughts on the new Zelda movie casting - more to come on that next week! Be well everyone!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!

We're back this week and getting ready for the Zelda Dungeon Marathon next week, which you can read all about here! Al will be attending, and she fills us in on what to expect. After that, we get into some Zelda Daily Debates, including how past Zelda games could work in voice notes, which Zelda characters are desperately missing from Smash Bros., what our favorite version of Dark Link is, if we can expect to see Farosh, Dinraal, and Naydra's transformation in Age of Imprisonment, and more! All this, PLUS some discussion of the recent Microsoft layoffs, and a Linkin Bark cameo as he tries to answer a Daily Debate!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!

We are back with more Switch 2 content, and this week we're diving into Breath of the Wild, Switch 2 Edition. But it's dangerous to go alone, so we took the new Zelda Notes app with us! In this episode we talk about the updated version of the game, and what it was like using the different tools that Zelda Notes has to offer. From a daily bonus and amiibo registration, to the incredible interactive map. And of course, we can't forget about all the new voice memories we found along the way. Come hang out with us and let us know if you've had a chance to use the Zelda Notes app along your new adventures as well.   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!
