Episode 150 - Definitively Ranking the Dungeons of Oracle of Seasons Feb 28, 2021

Show notes

We're ending our week long celebration of the Oracle games with a bang as we finally tackle all of the dungeons from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons! With eight dungeons in the game, there's plenty to talk about, so come join us as we discuss which items we liked, which dungeons got the most out of the music, which bosses we loved to see come back, and which dungeon might just be the longest dungeon in the Zelda series. PLUS, Andy snuck in an extra "dungeon" in his playthrough, so we get even more bang for our buck!

All this, plus some talk on the very Zelda-inspired new Pokemon games that were announced this week! Come pay homage to Oracle of Seasons with us!

Episode 148 - Oracle of Ages: A Retrospective Celebrating 20 Years Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Happy birthday to The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages! Hard to believe it's been 20 years since the Oracle games first graced our Game Boy Color's, but today, we are here to honor the puzzle focused Oracle adventure. Alasyn had never played Ages, and Andy hadn't touched it in years, so the two get together and spend an hour and a half talking about everything they took away from their experience! What was awesome about the overworld? How does Ages put a new spin on an old gimmick? What was the issue with some of the dungeons? Were we surprised by the story?

All this and so much more! Come celebrate with us, and don't forget about next week when we tackle the dungeons of Oracle of Seasons!

Episode 145 - Ranking the Worst Bosses in the Zelda Series Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

We try to keep it pretty positive on this show, but sometimes you just have to wade through the mud, which is exactly what we're doing this week. The gang are reaching low to recall and discuss some of the absolute worst bosses in the Zelda series! Though the bosses that Link faces off against are usually pretty fun, over 35 years there are bound to be some stinkers, so put your boots on and swim through the mud with us!

There's some familiar faces on this list, but maybe some will surprise you! Come let us now what you think!
