Episode 27 - Hyrule Castle Depths, Story Analysis, Closing Thoughts

Nov 17 2023 99 mins

And this is it. The last regular episode of this podcast. We talk about the final moments of the game, the ending, dive deep into the story and lore, then give our overall impressions of a game we've been playing since May. Thank you for listening if you've made it this far! There will be one more episode of this show, in which I will rank every Zelda game. Look for that

Episode 26 - Gerudo Desert, Spirit Temple, Skyward Sword

Nov 10 2023 81 mins

This week we're at the beginning of the end, and also the end of the end. By completing our exploration of the Gerudo Desert and the Spirit Temple, all we have left now is to complete the main storyline. And, well, a smattering of unresolved sidequests before we approach the endgame. We also discuss the entirety of the Skyward Sword, the last non-TOTK of this whole project. On

Episode 25 - Meeting Riju, The Lightning Temple, Zelda II

Nov 03 2023 82 mins

This week, we dip our toes into the Gerudo Desert and actually make some progress off the bat. We discuss the lightning temple, the Imprisoning War, and lots of caves. Then we shift gears to talk about all of Zelda II, a game that, even with save states and rewind, is incredibly difficult. 0:00 Tears of the Kingdom 36:56 The Legend of Zelda RSS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/s/

Episode 24 - Gerudo Highlands and Canyon, The Legend of Zelda

Oct 26 2023 103 mins

We're approaching the end of our tour of all the Hyrules, but probably not the end of the game. Where is that last sky shrine? Where are three dudes in Gerudo Canyon? What puzzle did I accidentally solve by sleeping until sundown? Only some of those questions are answered. Meanwhile, we talk about the original Legend of Zelda, a game that is much more approachable than its repu

Episode 23 - 120 Lightroots, Starview Island, Tri Force Heroes

Oct 20 2023 72 mins

This week, we finish of a few things. We reveal the entirety of the Depths, which allows us to do some rough math about how many shrines there are left in the game. We also complete Starview island, which is a neat sky section. We then talk about a solo playthrough of Tri Force Heroes, which has some neat ideas, but is ultimately not worth playing alone. Then, before we dive into T

Episode 22 - The Great Plateau, Colosseums, A Link Between Worlds Part 2

Oct 13 2023 86 mins

This week, we retread some old stomping grounds. In Tears of the Kingdom, we return to the Great Plateau, where we started Breath of the Wild. We also return to the Hyrule of A Link to the Past in A Link Between Worlds, a game that loses a little bit of its shine if you've played its inspiration in the last two months. 0:00 Tears of the Kingdom 53:00 A Link Between Worlds RSS:

Episode 21 - Lurelin Village, Faron Region, A Link Between Worlds Part 1

Oct 06 2023 80 mins

This week, we're caught in a lot of rain. We see a new dragon. We look at a knife. And also, we find a very big horse. Also this week, we play through the first half of A Link Between Worlds, a game that's still really, really good, but maybe loses a bit of its bite if you've recently played A Link to the Past. 0:00 Tears of the Kingdom 45:10 A Link Between Worlds RSS:

Episode 20 - Eventide Island, Hateno Village, Oracle of Seasons Part 2

Sep 28 2023 115 mins

This week, we're doing some good old-fashioned questing. Hateno Village has a bunch of things that need doing, and who's going to do them? Link. Also, Eventide Island is still around, and though it's not exactly the kind of one-of-a-kind challenge it was in Breath of the Wild, it's got some cool stuff going on. We also dive deep into Oracle of Seasons, Linked Games,

Episode 19 - The Water Temple, Valor Island, Oracle of Seasons Part 1

Sep 22 2023 75 mins

This week, we head into the Water Temple, which is disappointing, but does reveal a bit about the open-ended structure of the game isn't always to the game's benefit. Also, what counts as "outside dungeon" within our admittedly vague criteria? We also play through the first three dungeons of Oracle of Seasons, which is not the most underrated Zelda game but has s
