Episode 327 - Zelda's Percentages Returns to Talk Echoes of Wisdom and More Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

It's time again for everyone's favorite hypothetical Zelda game to return! That's right - Zelda's Percentages is back after 9 months! The premise is very simple: we make a hypothetical statement and assign a percentage on the likelihood of that statement coming true. This week is Echoes of Wisdom focused, as we touch on if the game can break 10 million in sales, whether Shiek makes a cameo appearance, if there will be a brand new villain, and if we'll end up fighting Link at some point in the game! We also sprinkle in some general Zelda questions, like if the Zelda movie will end up with a critics score of 75% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, if Princess Zelda is playable in the next Mario Kart game, if Nintendo will ever acknowledge the Zelda timeline again, and so much more!

Come play along with us, and get ready for the return of Ocarina of Time randomizer next week!

Show notes

ith its recent addition to Nintendo Switch Online's Game Boy Advance roster, we decided to switch it up (get it!?) a little bit and do a different kind of episode this week! We wrangled together Gooey Fame of Virtual Theater / Flashback 64 and Zelda Dungeon legend Josh Zelinsky to play The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords from start to finish! We battle Vaati, our internet connection, and each other through all four levels while also discussing things like Four Sword's legacy, its influence on Minish Cap and Four Swords Adventures, differences between the original and Anniversary Edition, and so much more!

You can listen in podcast form of course, but consider checking out the full VOD to get the whole experience! Let us know what you think of Four Swords!

Episode 325 - Echoes of Wisdom Daily Debates Discussed and Analyzed Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

This week, we're putting a bow (for now!) on our Echoes of Wisdom announcement coverage as we answer some of Zelda Dungeon's Daily Debates regarding the new game, and sprinkle a few about Zelda in general for good measure too! On the docket this time: will Link and Zelda speak in game? Will Echoes of Wisdom lean more open world or have a more linear progression? Should we expect this game to be in the Downfall timeline? Is Zelda going to abandon the Triforce going forward? How could Nintendo improve its online experience? What's the most celebratory moment in the series? All this, and so much much more!

Don't miss next week, as we'll be live streaming Four Swords and giving our thoughts and trying to co-exist! The stream starts at 12 pm MST July 14th over on our Twitch page! See you all then!

Episode 324 - We Answer Your Echoes of Wisdom Questions! Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

We're back this week answering all of your Echoes of Wisdom questions! On the docket, we have subjects like: do we think that the combat of Echoes could get repetitive? Will there be a playable Link section in this game, or just strictly Zelda? Where in the timeline do we see this game falling? Are dungeons making their return, and if so, do they play more like traditional 2D dungeons? Speaking of, ill the dungeon maker mode from Link's Awakening 2019 return? Is one of the most proud traditions in Zelda - the trading sequence - due for a return?

All this and so much more, PLUS a little tease for an upcoming show! Come and hang out with us!

Episode 323 - The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Revealed: Our Thoughts and Reactions! Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

It's a special WEDNESDAY edition of the Zelda Cast, and for good reason: for the first time in almost 40 years, we now have a Zelda game where you play as Princess Zelda! The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was announced in Tuesday's Nintendo Direct, a brand new Zelda game starring the titular character and a mysterious fairy named Tri who need to save Link and Hyrule! We get together and discuss our reactions to the trailer, the fact that we finally get to play as Zelda, what we think of the echo system, how fantastic the toy art style looks, our appreciation for Grezzo, and how stoked we are that it's 99 days and counting away! From there, we flip over and talk Four Swords coming to NSO finally with online play!

We're also talking about everything else shown off in the Nintendo Direct, from Perfect Dark to Mario & Luigi to Donkey Kong Country Returns to, of course, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (if you want to hear Andy and the Omega guys' reaction to that trailer, check out their episode here!)

Show notes

We're back with part TWO of our Zelda-themed "Would You Rather?" Fan Q&A! On the docket today: Would we rather collect every Korok seed or ship part from Phantom Hourglass? Would we rather the Zelda movie be awful, or not made at all? Would we rather leave out the Triforce or Master Sword from the next Zelda game? Would we rather the Hover Boots return or the Iron Boots? Would we rather all future dungeons are Divine Beast style or have every game take place in Breath of the Wild's Hyrule? Would we rather Zelda VR or Metroid VR?

All this and so much more, PLUS some discussion about Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and Summer Game Fest! Come hang out with us, and FYI - no stream next week!

Episode 320 - Answering Your Zelda "Would You Rather?" Questions (Part 1) Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

We have a really fun episode of the show for you this week! We asked for your Zelda-themed "would you rather" questions, and you guys delivered so much that we had to split the episode into two parts! A couple of the questions we had fun with include: would you rather get a brand new Zelda right away and wait for the Switch 2 for ten years, or vice versa? Would you rather play Tri Force Heroes solo or 100% Hyrule Warriors? Would we rather all future Zelda games are open world, or traditional 3D titles? Would we have rather had a more fleshed out Sky or more fleshed out Depths in Tears o the Kingdom? All this, plus a ton more!

We're also giving our thoughts on the new Zelda LEGO, following up on our Definitive Ranking of the OG Legend of Zelda, and wishing everyone a happy Pride Month!
