The Zelda Cast

Our month-long celebration of The Legend of Zelda continues as we continue our discussions on the game that started it all! This week we'll be definitively ranking every dungeon. For our rankings we'll be breaking down the unique challenges that each level offers to players, the naming conventions for each level and how we feel about the dungeon layouts, the first time appearances of enemies and items, and so much more! Come join us as we dive right in to the original Zelda dungeons!

All this, PLUS some Super Bowl / Winter Olympics discussion and our thoughts on the recent Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase!

We are in the month of February, and this is a particularly memorable month as it is the 40th anniversary of the release of The Legend of Zelda. All month, we'll be celebrating, and to kick us off, Zelda Dungeon Owner and Founder Mases Hagopian joins us to discuss the games creation, its legacy, the inspiration behind the creation, what BETA versions looked like, the dungeons and enemies, and our personal memories of playing the game, both for the first time and in more modern settings!

All this, PLUS some Zelda news recaps! Keep it locked in this month as we celebrate this incredible series and game!

We are back and celebrating 400 episodes of the Zelda Cast a few weeks later, and we've brought some friends along too! This week, we're joined by Adrielle Munger, Jules Gia, Nicole Scott, and Rod Lloyd to play a classic forum game called Hurt & Heal! The premise is simple: 20 Zelda characters start off with zero points, and each turn, players need to take a point away from a character and give a point to a different character! Every 3 rounds, the character with the lowest point total is eliminated! This is an episode you might want to watch the video of just to keep track!

We're also taking a minute to acknowledge the horrible couple of weeks in the real world - stay strong and stay safe out there, friends. Thank you for all the support over these last 8 years!

We're back for another Hyrule Historia episode, where we focus on the lore of a specific topic and dive in to give context, our opinions, and our thoughts! This week we'll be diving into the strange and fantastical world of Termina from Majora's Mask! Just what is Termina? To answer such a question we'll be exploring fan theories, official Nintendo books, and sprinkling in our own thoughts to get to the bottom of this mystery! Come hang out as we talk all things Termina!

All this, PLUS Our Nintendo Switch 2025 Year in Reviews, Al's thoughts on the recent Animal Crossing: New Horizons update, and our thoughts on the recently revealed Ocarina of Time Lego set!

Come and enjoy a nice and breezy episode this week as the gang answer some Zelda Dungeon Daily Debates! On tap today: did Age of Imprisonment's roster limit the appeal of the game? Would we play a Zelda dating sim? Which game gets the most undeserved hate? Which game took the biggest swing? Where would we rank Age of Imprisonment in the series? Do the Hyrule Warriors games have too much content?

All this, PLUS some thoughts on Avatar: Fire and Ash, as well as Andy playing NEStroid next Sunday in the MetroidHQ Marathon! Come hang out!
