Episode 338 - Exploring Jabul Waters and Gerudo Desert in Echoes in Wisdom!

A day late, but a couple bucks over value, we are here to dive into The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. You guys know how these definitive ranking series work by now - we take 10 classic categories like dungeons, overworld, art style, music, etc. - and grade a Zelda game individually on these categories. Up to bat today is The Wind Waker. In a companion piece to our friends over at the Hyrule Compendium's own video, we tackle the game and go in depth to give you one of our longest shows yet! Rounding out the cast this week is Wind Waker super-fan Corey Richmond, so get ready and strap in, because this episode covers a lot of ground!   Follow the Champions’ Cast on Twitter:   Andy Spiteri – @Spiteri316 Alasyn Eletha – @AlasynEletha Corey Richmond - @CoreyRichmond

So a couple weeks ago on my other podcast Virtual Theater, I was telling Gooey that I wouldn't buy the recently released Final Fantasy VII Remake because it was a remake of only the first 5-10% of the game. I even said "that would be like remaking Ocarina of Time and only having the entire game take place in Kokiri Forest!". Fast forward to now, and I caved and bought FFVIIR, really enjoyed it, and felt like it offered a complete experience. So in order to not have to eat a bunch of crow, I came up with an Ocarina of Time Remake game of my own... set entirely in Kokiri Forest! Come hear my pitch on what this game could look like, what you could expand, how many dungeons you could include, and how big a re-imagined Kokiri Forest could look like! Is it an insane idea? Yes! Should it ever happen? Definitely not! Would you play the game I'm pitching Gooey this week? Let me know! I'm really interested to see everyone's feedback, so come and tell me on Twitter or Discord if you thought this pitch was cool, cause if enough of you do, maybe we can get to Part 2!   Follow the Champions’ Cast on Twitter:   Andy Spiteri – @Spiteri316 Alasyn Eletha – @AlasynEletha

Guess who's back? Back again?! That's right, Andy is back on the show, and he's brought Gooey with him to talk cheap plugs, and also play a game of Would You Rather? This was a load of fun last time we played, so we did it again, asking for your questions! Would we rather erase Midna or Tingle from Zelda? Would we rather play bombchu bowling or the shooting gallery? Would we rather have to see every game look like Twilight Princess or play like Tri Force Heroes!? All this and so much more in this light, breezy, fun episode!

Woodfall, Snowhead, Great Bay, and Stone Tower are all examined in detail - bosses, items, layouts, fairies, masks, music - as the cast talk about which ones were their favorites and which ones, not so much. We even throw in a few mini-dungeons into the conversation! Make sure you check it out!
