We’re here to bid farewell, once and for all, to the original Nintendo Switch console, as this week, we review Zelda Dungeon’s Top 25 Favorite Nintendo-Published Switch Games! This staff feature, which was published by our amazing writing team, serves as a final homage to the hybrid console, and we go over the list to see what we agree and disagree with! Tons of Zelda games top the list as you might expect, but we also get in depth about how Pokemon, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and even Kirby did on the Switch, so come let us know what you think!

All this, PLUS Al’s thoughts on the Stardew Valley concert, Andy’s thoughts on Silksong and The Last of Us Part 2 (so far!), and a tease for our next Hyrule Historia episode! Come hang out with us!

Definitive Ranking is back, and this time, we’re going back to 2007 to rank the maiden voyage on the Nintendo DS: Phantom Hourglass! We’re Definitively Ranking the controversial title, assigning scores to each of the ten key categories that define a great Zelda game: the world, the art style, the gameplay, the pacing, the story, the music, the enemies and bosses, the dungeons, the items, and the side content. Andy and Al are on different pages, so come and weigh in and see which team you’re on!

All this, PLUS some Donkey Kong Bananza and Tales of the Shire discussion! Come hang out!

The post Definitively Ranking Phantom Hourglass in The Zelda Cast Episode 381! appeared first on Zelda Dungeon.

Earlier this week, Nintendo showcased their latest Partner Direct, and in it, we saw the latest trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment! While there wasn’t a ton of info revealed, there was enough shown for us to sink our teeth into, including: who is the Gerudo sage, and could she be a familiar name to us? What or who is being built an the end of the trailer and could it be related to the Ancient Hero? What’s up with Fi’s theme playing at the end? These, plus many other questions, observations, and theories!

All this, PLUS we go over the latest Nintendo financials and talk about what other games shown off in the Direct we’re interested in! Come hang out!

The gang is back from the Zelda Dungeon Marathon and has a bit more time to fully digest the recent casting news in the upcoming Zelda movie! We go over and give our thoughts on Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason being cast as Link and Zelda, respectively. We also give our thoughts on what game the movie will most likely follow plot-wise, when we would have Link speak and who it could be modelled after, and list off several actors who could play Ganondorf!

All this, PLUS some Marathon final thoughts, Middle-Earth: The Podcast news, and much more! Come hang out with us!

The post Zelda Movie Casting Thoughts and Reactions! The Zelda Cast Episode 378 appeared first on Zelda Dungeon.

Well, we didn’t have a show last week because we were keeping a big secret – Andy was able to get a last minute trip booked to the 2025 Zelda Dungeon Marathon, which was an incredible success, raising nearly $12K for No Kid Hungry! This also meant that Andy and Al got to podcast together in person, and we decided that we wanted to let our friends and fellow attendee’s get in on the action! We’ll hear from Cal, Adrielle, Katherine, Sean, Ashtyn, Palimer, and so many more as we discuss an incredible week of gaming, charity, friendship, and so much more!

PLUS, our thoughts on the new Zelda movie casting – more to come on that next week! Be well everyone!

We’re back this week and getting ready for the Zelda Dungeon Marathon next week, which you can read all about here! Al will be attending, and she fills us in on what to expect. After that, we get into some Zelda Daily Debates, including how past Zelda games could work in voice notes, which Zelda characters are desperately missing from Smash Bros., what our favorite version of Dark Link is, if we can expect to see Farosh, Dinraal, and Naydra’s transformation in Age of Imprisonment, and more!

All this, PLUS some discussion of the recent Microsoft layoffs, and a Linkin Bark cameo as he tries to answer a Daily Debate!

Definitive Ranking is back, and we’re finally discussing the game everyone has been asking for: Breath of the Wild, arguably the most important Zelda game ever released. We’re Definitively Ranking the revolutionary title, assigning scores to each of the ten key categories that define a great Zelda game: the world, the art style, the gameplay, the pacing, the story, the music, the enemies and bosses, the dungeons, the items, and the side content. We pay our respects to one of the greats while also giving some fair critiques, so come and let us know what you think!

All this, PLUS we are THRILLED to announce Middle-Earth: The Podcast, a new show featuring Andy, Al, and Corey as they talk about the books, movies, games, and everything in-between relating to J.R.R. Tolkien’s incredible legendarium! Catch the first episode when it drops later this month on Patreon.com/SPNet!
