Episode 382 - Which Zelda Titles Were The Best Game On Their Console and More Daily Debates Answered!

We're debuting a brand new sub series today, where we focus on the lore of a particular topic and dive in to give context, our opinions, and our thoughts! Appropriately enough, we've titled this series Hyrule Historia, and we thought what better way to kick it off than by examining what we know about the most famous conflict in the Zelda series: the Imprisoning War! We talk about the two different interpretations of this conflict, from A Link to the Past and Tears of the Kingdom, discuss how the timeline impacts these conflicts, if Demon King Ganondorf and Demise are one and the same, who could be the missing Sage of Forest (if anyone), and so much more! Tell us what you think of this new series and leave suggestions for what you'd like us to cover in the future! Don't forget to brush up on your copy of Hyrule Historia for future eps!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon! Subscribe to receive the monthly bonus show ‘The Zelda XL featuring Andy and Gooey”!

UPDATE: Sooooo let's try that again! Last week, we had a technical snafu for this episode, aka, I named the previous weeks file 379 by mistake and then re-uploaded it this week. The right audio has since been uploaded, but I know a lot of you had a hard time getting the right episode, so I decided to just re-upload all together! Sorry for the trouble folks - let's all agree to blame it on Corey! Thanks all! - Andy 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!
