The Zelda Cast ·

2023/12/11

The 2023 Game Awards have come and gone, and just like in years past, we've watched it so you don't have too! We break down Tears of the Kingdom's performance and debate whether it deserved to win GOTY or not, as well as give our thoughts on some of the other winners and the format of Geoff Keighly's extravaganza as a whole! We also talk about what announcements got us excited and what games we're looking forward to! PLUS, we break down series producer Eiji Aonuma's recent thoughts on Tears of the

The Zelda Cast ·

2023/12/04

After a long, long layoff, Definitive Ranking returns to the Zelda Cast, and what better game to usher its return than the most recent entry into the series: Tears of the Kingdom! We're going through ten critical categories that make up the ingredients to a Zelda game - world, story, pacing, art style, dungeons, bosses/enemies, items, gameplay, extras, and music - and assigning them each a score to see where Tears ranks among the hallowed halls of greatest Zelda games of all time! Some of the scores

2023/11/27

Way back when the sad news that Tears of the Kingdom would not be getting any DLC, we had cooked up a few ideas for what we wanted to see in any future updates, and rather than letting those ideas go to waste, were today to talk about what we would have wanted to see if the decision to move on from Tears' Hyrule hadn't been made! From the learning the origins of the mysterious three dragons and introducing some classic goddess characters to having intricate caves holding secrets from the Sages of

Episode 293 - Zelda’s Percentages Returns!

The Zelda Cast ·

2023/11/20

After a lengthy hiatus, everyone's favorite Zelda Cast segment, Zelda's Percentages, returns! The premise is very simple: we make a hypothetical statement and assign a percentage on the likelihood of that statement coming true! This week, we had a twist on the concept in that we asked YOU the listener to submit your own statements, and you delivered in droves! We touch on everything from the next 3D Zelda game, potential remakes, the Zelda movie and what the direction of casting will be, what kind

After Nintendo dropped the tweet heard 'round the world ("This is Miyamoto") confirming that a live-action Legend of Zelda movie was due to enter pre-production soon, the Zelda community has been ablaze with all sorts of reactions, positive and negative, discussing what fans want from this adaptation. Filling in for Al this week is Virtual Theater's Gooey Fame, and the gang discuss a whole bevy of topics, including: our initial thoughts at the announcement; if we prefer live-action to animation;

2023/11/06

We've got an action-packed episode this week, as we're relying on our amazing Zelda Dungeon Writing Team's Daily Debates to power the show. We're answering a bunch of different debate questions including: Does the new Animal Crossing LEGO make Zelda LEGO more likely to come? Should Nintendo produce their own Halloween merch? Should the series ever retire Ganondorf? Should the next 3D Zelda game take place in a land other than Hyrule? What would a Pokemon/Zelda crossover look like? What can Zelda

2023/10/30

It's finally here! Weeks ago we asked you for YOUR spicy Zelda takes, and you delivered! This week, we're reacting to all the opinions shared and discussing whether we personally agree with them and if they go against the conventional norm of the Zelda community to dictate the level of spice! We're discussing things like Ocarina of Time being a mid-level Zelda game, Tri Force Heroes being an exceptional single-player experience, Tears of the Kingdom telling an amazing story in the worst way

2023/10/23

We're back and already looking towards the future, as this week, the gang get together and each present a couple of things that they're looking to see happen in the next 3D open world Zelda game! From some pretty obvious stuff like ditching the terminal key system found in Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom's Dungeons and bringing back some classic permanent items like the Hookshot, to more daring wants, like potentially taking the adventure out of Hyrule and not having Princess Zelda appear,

It's that time of year again when Zelda Dungeon launches its annual Fall Brawl Character Contest! Just like in years past, the gang get together to analyze the bracket and pick which Zelda character they think will win this 64-character popularity contest. Our resident frenemy Corey Richmond joins the show to help us answer questions like: how big will the Tears of the Kingdom boost be? Are the Breath of the Wild Champions still popular? Why do people hate Yona so much? Will Purah use her newfound

We're back with another week of Tears of the Kingdom talk as this time we're discussing our favorite Side Quests! Yes, Side Quests, not Shrine Quests or Side Adventures. From teaching little kids about the Calamity to rebuilding Goddess Statues to racing minigames, we go over our list and detail which quests we found charming and fun and single out one or two that maybe indulged a bit too much (we're looking at you monster hunter!).

We were in a playful mood this week, so we brought back a classic segment: Guess That Zelda Character! This week, we're focusing on Tears of the Kingdom, and giving each other TEN guesses to figure out which character we've picked! Joined by Zelda Cast Producer Cal, we delve through Hyrule to pick some of the trickiest, most difficult-to-guess characters Tears has to offer! Think you can do better than us?

We asked YOU the listener for your fan questions last week, and you did not disappoint! We have a whole bevy of topics to cover, including: what hardware and software features do we want from the Switch 2? Who is the greatest Zelda NPC? Does it bother us that Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom seemingly don't care about the Zelda timeline? Speaking of, are we really going to get a ten-year Breath of the Wild 4K/HD port? Do we think there will be any 2D Zelda games coming soon? Is it

The Zelda Cast ·

2023/09/18

In case you were living under a rock this week, we had a Nintendo Direct a couple of days ago, and it was certainly... something. Nintendo delivered an understandably muted Direct this month, so we discuss and dissect everything shown and talk about what games, if any, we're looking forward to. More importantly, we use what we saw - or rather, didn't see! - to speculate on when we can expect an official Switch 2 reveal, complete with rough timelines including when we think the next 3D Zelda is

2023/09/11

We're back this week examining the Zelda Dungeon Writing Team's Daily Debates, and we've got some good ones this week, chief among them: is Tears of the Kingdom actually not getting any DLC? Why not? Should it have been announced already if so? We give our thoughts and theories, plus tackle other questions like: was Nintendo right to claim the dungeons in Tears were "traditional"? When do we think the next openworld Zelda game will be out (spoiler: Andy thinks it's closer than you think!)? What's up

Buckle in, because it's finally time! After months and months, we're finally giving our full, SPOILER FILLED, thoughts on the story of Tears of the Kingdom! Did we like the Zonai being gods? How could Ganondorf and Mineru have been handled better? Was "Fake Zelda" the biggest missed opportunity of the game? After an amazing final battle, did the ending feel too cheap? Would a Days of Future Past gimmick have worked well here? And does Nintendo's insistence of players being able to do anything, any

After a week off discussing The Wind Waker, the gang are back to continue their Tears of the Kingdom summer, and this time, they've brought backup! The gang are joined this week by Omega Metroid Podcast co-host and musical scientist Doominal Crossing to analyze the music of Tears of the Kingdom. We all list off a couple tracks that we really liked, discuss whether the "Main Theme" and "Ganondorf Battle Theme" are what we were looking for, reflect on this style of soundtrack and how it compared to

We are kicking off The Wind Waker week at Zelda Dungeon with a personal, reflective look back at one of the most daring Zelda games of them all: the beautiful, cartoonish, ocean filled Wind Waker. The gang reflect back on their memories of the games announcement, the backlash against the cel-shaded graphics, the amazing pre-order bonus, how The Wind Waker created a separate visual style that's still going strong today, how the water always had so much promise and potential beyond the horizon, our

We're back again to talk sweet fits and great abilities! This week, we're breaking down every new outfit and armor set in Tears of the Kingdom, discussing such things like: the Froggy Suit and its false advertising of "slip prevention"; our ideas to make the Mystic Armor have an even better function; if the Dragon suits realize their full potential; why the Glider Armor is straight out of Batman and the Court of Owls; if bringing back the same outfits from Breath of the Wild was lazy and uninspired;

We're back into the full swing of things this week, and choosing violence in this episode as take Tears of the Kingdom to task for arguably one of its lazier decisions: bringing Korok Seeds back. We analyze why the decision was likely made, why it doesn't work a second time around, and if collectables with an asinine amount of things to collect are here to stay. We also take a look at some of the other collectables found in Hyrule, include Bubbel Gems, wells, Light Roots, Monster Medals, and more.,

Everything from Andy and Al playing Tears of the Kingdom together to them squaring off against one another in ZD Family Feud to our adventures making poutine together, we recap a wonderful week full of great friends and no sleep!
