The Song of the Hero complete, we gain access to the Sky Keep where the Triforce awaits. It's been a long journey to get here, but with the Power of the Goddesses in hand, surely we can defeat Demise and finally reunite with Zelda..

Sit down with your hosts, Shannon and Joe, as they play, discuss and theorize their way through Nintendo's Legend of Zelda video games in the timeline order noted in the Hyrule Historia. New episodes of Tandem Legends: a Legend of Zelda Podcast released every other week. More or less.

Show notes

Link tirelessly works to collect the three pieces of the Song of the Hero from Faron, Eldin, and Lanayru. Along the way he manages to lose all his weapons (temporarily), get pulled into yet another battle with the Imprisoned, and revive an ancient dead dragon. Busy day.

The Imprisoned, Zelda, and Levias - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 15 - TL015 Dec 11, 2017

Show notes

The Imprisoned once again threatens the Sealed Temple.

With the help of Groose and his new super weapon, The Groosenator, Link is able to seal the beast a second time. The Temple secure, Link ventures through the Gate of Time and finally comes face to face with Zelda.

And she's got a lot to tell him.

The Fire Sanctuary - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 14 - TL014 Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

Link immediately gets busy upon entering the Fire Sanctuary. Rafting across rivers of lava, dispatching cursed enemies and saving the skin of several Mogma treasure hunters. For his efforts Link is rewarded with an upgraded pair of digging mitts, the Mogma Mitts.

After besting Ghirahim once more, Link acquires Din's Flame, which transforms the Goddess White Sword into the Master Sword. And, once more, a piece of the Triforce appears on the back of Link's hand, now complete.

Finally at full strength, Link heads to the Gate of Time in the Sealed Temple. Just before performing a Skyward Strike, the ground once more begins to shake..

Din's Silent Realm - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 13 - TL013 Nov 27, 2017

Show notes

Link achieves spiritual enlightenment after dodging more Spirit Realm Guardians and obtains the Fire Shield Earrings, which allow us to enter the sweltering caverns of the Volcano Summit. There we meet Gorko again and are tasked with dowsing a few gates of fire which block our path to the Fire Sanctuary, home of the final sacred flame. We realize we need a larger container to dowse the next fire gate so we travel back to Lake Floria to borrow Faron's water basin.

Given the size of the basin, we enlist Scrapper to help us carry it safely back to the Volcano Summit. Scrapper jumps ahead of us as we dive down to the surface in Eldin though and we must escort him and the basin back to the summit of the volcano, dodging and dispatching the monsters which block our path.

After safely hauling the water basin back to the Volcano Summit, Scrapper pours the water over the mouth of the Fire Sanctuary and grants us entrance to the temple within.

The Sandship - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 12 - TL012 Nov 20, 2017

Show notes

Now aboard the Sandship, we find it to be derelict and largely abandoned save for a few Keese and Sand Spumes. After a bit of exploration and facing off against the Mechanical Maniac himself, Scervo, we access the ship's control room, expecting to find the flame, but instead several large tentacles burst from the deck. We quickly escaped the interior as tentacles tore at the hull. Now on the deck we began our fight against Tentalus, Abyssal Leviathan.

Once our victory is secured, the flame appears and our sword is upgraded to the Goddess White Sword and, just as the Triforce of Courage did before, the Triforce of Wisdom appears on the back of our hand..

With nothing left for us on the Sandship, we made our way to the Isle of Songs where we learned Din's Power, the final key on our quest to unlocking the true power of the Goddess Sword.

Nayru's Silent Realm - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 11 - TL011 Nov 10, 2017

Show notes

We just barely manage to pass Nayru's Silent Realm and finally receive the Clawshots as reward. Able to access new areas, we explore the Lanayru Desert, meeting two new Gorons named Golo and Gortram along the way. Finding ourselves facing an ancient sea now turned to a sandy wasteland, we meet an Ancient Robot named Skipper once charged with captaining the ship that protected the Sacred Flame.

With his help we find the elusive vessel and board, ready to find the next flame.

The Ancient Cistern - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 10 - TL10 Nov 03, 2017

Show notes

This week Shannon and Joe venture into the Ancient Cistern and meet a few old frenemies, including Froaks and creeping Skulltulas, and cross blades with the most imposing Stalfos yet. Deep below the pristine water in the Ancient Cistern we stumble into an episode of Walking Dead: Bokoblins.

Once the secrets of the Ancient Cistern are revealed Link checks-in with a fussy Ghirahim and then deftly defeats the Ancient Automaton, Koloktos, using the mysteriously useful Whip to tear apart its mechanical limbs. Fi obtains the first sacred flame which holds the power of Farore and uses it to strengthen the Goddess Sword. Link also obtains the Triforce of Courage!

Back above the cloud barrier Link travels back to the Isle of Songs and learns Nayru's Wisdom which will be the key for accessing Nayru's Trial - an adventure for next week!

Farore's Silent Relam - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 9 - TL09 Oct 27, 2017

Show notes

This week we clean up a few sidequests in Skyloft before heading back below the clouds in pursuit of the first Sacred Flame. After visiting Batreaux and fetching an item for Dodo on Fun Fun Island we return back to Faron Woods. Link gains access to Farore's Silent Realm, which is a spooky alternate version of Faron Woods. While avoiding the terrifying and relentless Guardians, Link gathers the Sacred Tears and completes the first Trial.

Gifted with the Water Dragon's Scale Link is now able to access more areas of Faron Woods, leading to the discovery of a Hermit Kikwi known as Yerbal. Yerbal points Link to Lake Floria, where the Water Dragon Faron resides. In Lake Floria, Link meets a Parella called Jellyf who eventually leads him to the Dragon and one step closer to obtaining the first Sacred Flame!

The Imprisoned - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Part 8 - TL08 Oct 20, 2017

Show notes

In this exposition heavy episode, Link finally faces off against the subject of his nightmares, managing to re-seal what we now know as The Imprisoned. Afterward, despite Link's great feat of heroism, the Old Woman informs him that his sacred sword just isn't quite up to snuff yet. We're pointed back to Skyloft to find information on the Three Sacred Flames, so that we may temper our sword and unlock its true power. What we learn leads us through the Thunderhead and to the Isle of Songs.

Listen in as we struggle to play the Goddess Harp, politely smile at Fi's amateur rendition of the Ballad of the Goddess, and take yet another step on our road to securing Zelda's safety. And also maybe save the world or something.
