Nate, Sebastian, Ryan and new guest Kari tackle 1992's THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST, the most delicious(?) game we've yet encountered. We talk about the advent of lore and world-building in games, "canon," and whether the impulse to arrange all the Zelda games into a coherent timeline is reasonable (Nate: no, Ryan & Kari: absolutely).
