Episode 67: Making Modern Cult Classics, Smash 4 Reveals, and our Festivus Episode ft. Caleb!

This week's pod's cast is Adam, your host (He likes things that are bad for him), Jake (Just some guy we found), Caleb (Currently burying Warchamp7 for his opinions), and Warchamp7 (We just like to call him Champ).  Thank you so much to those of you who sent in fan topics this week, and an extra special shoutout to Josh for sending us a gold cartridge copy of NES Zelda and a copy of The Adventure of Link! It's super sweet but we only got it in the mail after we recorded this episode (proper shoutout on next week's episode).  Speaking of which, next week we'll be recording on Tuesday since Adam is traveling on Thursday when we usually record, so please send your fan topics for next week before then. The email to send us fan topics, theme song submissions, cover art, or questions, is (as always) ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com.  Additionally, you can also Tweet discussion topics to us @ZeldaInformer!

This week, we spent an hour with Nick Wozniak, the man behind the art of Yacht Club Games' Shovel Knight! We interview him about the game, what it's like working in the kickstarter format, and his thoughts on several topics regarding our favorite Hylian and Shovelin' heroes. Your four swords for this week are: Adam (Making fun of Jake, like a jerk), Jake (Will he bring up Majora’s Mask again?), Jeff (He brings the facts), and our special guest, Nick (He makes games you might have played)!  Thanks to everyone who submitted fan topics this week! If you have any of your own fan topics, theme song submissions, art work, or just fan mail, please send it to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@Gmail.com. We would love to hear from you! Speaking of which, please take a moment and fill out our survey when you get the chance. We've been getting some great feedback, and we want to hear from as many of you as possible.  If you've got a spare five minutes, consider giving it a go! Finally, if you liked this week's banner (first of all, thank you) then please consider commissioning me. My prices are ​here if you're at all interested.

This week on the ZI Podcast we talk about why Majora’s Mask isn’t your typical Zelda game, we discuss the possible ways to fix wall puzzles, and we discuss how hammerspace works into the Zelda franchise. With plenty of fan topics, this episode had a lot to say with a shorter than usual length. This week’s cast is: your host as always, Adam, joined by Chris (Never stops talking about Ezlo), Caleb (the podcast’s Quiet Contender), Sarah (our self-proclaimed fashion expert), and special guest TopSpinTheFuzzy (We call him Jeph/Jephers). Thank you to those of you who submitted fan topics this week, as well as theme song submissions. If you have any of your own work that you’d like us to feature, please send those to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you all! This episode was a bit on the shorter side, due to Adam very very tired, so he (or I?) apologizes for that in advance. I hope you still enjoy this week’s episode.  Our guest for next week is ​Yacht Club Games (developers of Shovel Knight, for those of you who live under a rock), so we hope you look forward to that and send in some topics you'd like us to discuss with them! Also, please take our updated survey! also #LegendOfBear

In episode 36 of the podcast, we talk with one of Adam’s longstanding idols about some of the burning questions in the Zelda community: What makes Zelda II so terrible? Can you properly mod a Zelda game? And what exactly IS the Nintendo World Championship? This week’s podcast crew seeks these answers and more. But first, your team for this week is Adam, your host as always (Better in post); Caleb, the babe (This was his favorite episode); Jeff, CE Supreme (Making people mad, as always), and our special guest, Mick (SassPirate Mick, check out his new Metal Band EP this fall)!  In addition to the topics mentioned in this week's episode title, we discuss Zelda lore, virtual reality, and RicePirate shares some news fresh from the mysterious cabin (also known ans Sleepy Cabin: Seriously, check it out)! We also have a healthy sized interview with Mick about his work, growing up, and the quality of the content that’s being made online these days, rounding out the discussion by asking Mick what he would do if he was in charge of an Animated Legend of Zelda Reboot. Thanks so much to Aaron and Darrin (rhymes~!) for your fan topics and Brandon for your awesome theme song. If you have any of your own topics, theme song submissions, theories, or gaming topics, please send those to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com! We're more than happy to answer most any questions (keep it safe for the kids, people!) and feature fan work, so don't be shy! ALSO please help us out by filling out this survey about the podcast and what you'd like to see in the future.
