Episode 376 - Daily Debates Answered + Zelda Dungeon Marathon Info

We're finally almost back to our regular schedule, though before we can get directly into the topics this week we do have a little score to settle in terms of our somewhat controversial tie in our E3 betting results. So we settle the score right off the bat with what I personally would describe as a come from behind, totally unexpected, victory. After those shenanigans we get back into our regular format. This week we talk about the leaked Hyrule Warriors DLC, Nintendo admitting that Zelda is in a rut, and how Eiji Aonuma wants to make even more multiplayer Zelda experiences. We also cover a few fan topics and discuss at length some some of the joy and frustration in a couple YouTubers being outed for some extremely shady stuff. As always, you can send topic submissions, questions, or any other inquiries to podcast@zeldainformer.com. You can also support this podcast, and a potential new podcast focused on everything Nintendo, right here on patreon.

This weeks podcast features yours truly, with our regular co-host Alfred back in his usual spot as a ZI Podcast first timer joins us. This weeks podcast finally gets to put to rest the seemingly endless gender debate, thanks in large part to Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto. Speaking from a very personal level with this, I am glad that this will be the last time this topic comes up on Zelda Informer. We also finally learn about and discuss the causes behind delays in Zelda game release dates. We had some fine fan topics this time around as well, but what is truly notable is the last segment of this week's podcast deals with our E3 Bets Results. Who won? You'll have to listen to find out! As always you can send submissions, fan topics, or whatever questions you may have to podcast@zeldainformer.com.

We've arrived at our first episode of the Zelda Informer Podcast after the whirlwind of information that hit us during E3 2016. There is a lot to go over, but before I get into what we cover this week I wanted to note that we do not talk about our E3 bets in this episode due to Alfred having internet issues and quite honestly due to my life being so busy I have not been able to compile the results just yet. That being said it's no surprise we're talking about Breath of the Wild and you honestly should be expecting us to talk a lot about this game each week as we get closer and closer to release, given that new news about the game is going to be trickled out over time. We also get to talk about the some interesting news in regards to the NX and a small tidbit on the future of the Zelda series after Breath of the Wild releases. We're back to our standard format, though if you are curious for more demo impressions be sure to check out last week's in person podcast.

Hey everyone and welcome to yet another special edition of the podcast, this time featuring three very special guests along with our host, Nathanial Rumphol-Janc, as we detail out our initial gameplay impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Those guests include Rod (Senior Editor for Zelda Informer), Zion (Former Zelda Informer Writer), and Eric (Best friend of Nathanial & behind the scenes helper). This is a unique bunch as it features three Zelda veterans... but also one person who has little Zelda experience and has never beaten a Zelda game. Thus you get the impressions of some self proclaimed "experts", along with a perspective of someone who previously wasn't really into Zelda games. Between all of us we ended up with 5 total playthroughs of the two available demos and there is a lot to talk about.

Our first ever betting special has arrived, with Alfred facing off against our podcast host, Nate. This special was in the original episode of episode 2 of our podcast, but it has been separated out for those who wish to refer back to our bets throughout E3.

This is a bonus conversation due to all the E3 hype. We go through each conference and talk about what we're looking forward too and dreading about each one.

Our E3 hype podcast has arrived a bit later in the day today than originally planned, but we hope you find the episode worth the wait. In fact, we have a special bonus episode, something we call bonus talk, arriving later this week where we go over all the other press conferences and some thoughts about them. This time though for our main episode this week, it's all about Nintendo, Zelda U/NX, and our first ever betting special. My co-host Alfred and myself go head to head in a betting special that has some really high and naturally embarrassing stakes, dragging our guests this week (Darrin and Rabidluigi) into some intense E3 related questions to decide our fate. It's simply something you are not going to want to miss out on. In fact, later this week we'll be releasing a separate video of just our bets, that way you can salivate over them even more. Of course, it wouldn't be the first ever betting special if we didn't have a little bit of a controversy. You can vote in the poll below to help decide the fate of question 5 from our lovely Aflred. Outside of the bets, we talk extensively about Zelda U and our hype (in my case), or the lack thereof (everyone else) as we head into E3. We also go over some fan topics that all mostly pertain to Zelda U, save a rather interesting mention of Advance Wars. As always, stay tuned for our bonus talk and individual betting special later this week. Next week we'll have an all in-person cast that is sure to excite as we give our impressions about Zelda U like our life depends on it.

Hey everyone and welcome to our first ever episode of the all new Zelda Informer Podcast. In case you missed it, during episode 87 the entirety of the old crew said their goodbyes as they road off into the sunset during their final episode. After a one week break, the podcast has returned and been reborn into something all new and entirely different than what it was before. This week in our first episode we dive into some news surrounding the Zelda U demo both at E3 as well as at Nintendo NY. We also briefly chat about GameStop's none prediction... predictions about potential NX sales over the first two years from launch. We then tackle a slew of fan topics before diving into our favorite thing in video games this past week, where Overwatch gets some much deserved attention, Ocarina of Time 3D creeps into the spotlight, and Nate wonders about the possibilities surrounding Xbox Scorpio. Give the show a listen and let us know what you think about the new format and along with any other feedback you might have. You can send in your fan topics, questions, or general podcast related goodness to podcast@zeldainformer.com. You can support this podcast further over on Patreon.
