Episode 376 - Daily Debates Answered + Zelda Dungeon Marathon Info

We are kicking off The Wind Waker week at Zelda Dungeon with a personal, reflective look back at one of the most daring Zelda games of them all: the beautiful, cartoonish, ocean filled Wind Waker. The gang reflect back on their memories of the games announcement, the backlash against the cel-shaded graphics, the amazing pre-order bonus, how The Wind Waker created a separate visual style that's still going strong today, how the water always had so much promise and potential beyond the horizon, our favorite memories of playing Link's cel-shaded adventure, and so much more! Strap your rose-tinted glasses on and get ready to smile as we look back on an all time great, PLUS, we're chatting about Final Fantasy VII, old emails, and Electronic Gaming Monthly!

We're back again to talk sweet fits and great abilities! This week, we're breaking down every new outfit and armor set in Tears of the Kingdom, discussing such things like: the Froggy Suit and its false advertising of "slip prevention"; our ideas to make the Mystic Armor have an even better function; if the Dragon suits realize their full potential; why the Glider Armor is straight out of Batman and the Court of Owls; if bringing back the same outfits from Breath of the Wild was lazy and uninspired; and which outfit Link looks like the biggest stud in! All this, and so much more! Come discuss fashion, function, and everything in between with us!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!

We're back into the full swing of things this week, and choosing violence in this episode as take Tears of the Kingdom to task for arguably one of its lazier decisions: bringing Korok Seeds back. We analyze why the decision was likely made, why it doesn't work a second time around, and if collectables with an asinine amount of things to collect are here to stay. We also take a look at some of the other collectables found in Hyrule, include Bubbel Gems, wells, Light Roots, Monster Medals, and more., as we weigh in on if we liked them or if they were a case of unnecessary padding. All this, PLUS some Pikmin 4 talk, Tears of the Kingdom sales update, and more!! Come hang out with us!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!

We are back and (mostly) alive after a record-shattering Zelda Dungeon Marathon, so this week, we have a different, more relaxed episode as we look back on some of our favorite moments from the event. Everything from Andy and Al playing Tears of the Kingdom together to them squaring off against one another in ZD Family Feud to our adventures making poutine together, we recap a wonderful week full of great friends and no sleep! PLUS, at the end of the episode, we'll have audio from an interview conducted by The Zelda Cast's producer Adrielle Munger and Editor Nick Miller as the catch up with Patricia Summersett, the voice of Princess Zelda! The interview in in the middle of a convention, so there's a bit of noise, but all the great tidbits more than make up for that!

Now that we're two months removed from the release of Tears of the Kingdom, our Zelda Dungeon writing team put together a great article asking a tough question - which is the better Zelda game: Tears of the Kingdom, or the game that came before and inspired it, Breath of the Wild? We go over some specific categories like which game had the better opening area, the better abilities/runes, the better Shrines, and more. Specifically, you'll want to hear our thoughts on the story presentation as Al and Andy get into a debate about which game had the better format. Make sure you check out the article here and vote for yourself! All this, PLUS we are gearing up for our Hot Ones Zelda Dungeon Marathon episode live next week, so make sure you get a question in so we can answer it! Lastly, our first episode of the Zelda Cast Top Tens debuted this weekend, so check it out if you can! See you all next week at the ZD Marathon!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!
