Tanner and Maddie give their flawless breakdown of Skyward Sword leading up to our upcoming discussions about it.

We bring back Taylor Pingel to discuss one of the most intense and contentious games ever created in the Mario legendarium: Super Mario Strikers. First, it was the GameCube edition. Now, it's a revamped, high-octane online battle royale on the Switch. Listen in!

For this game's nostalgiafest, the Short Clan dive into the unforgettable soundtrack that accompanied the game. Whether the music played behind overworld settings, cut scenes, boss battles, or classic western showdowns in the Hidden Village, the track was always on point and so realistic compared to previous games.

Happy Halloween, Hitchhikers! Continuing our tradition started last year, Tanner and Timmi outline the perfect way to spend a spooky evening play Twilight Princess. As you fight Twilight Beasts, wander through Lost Woods, search for ghoulish Poes, and descend into Arbiters Grounds, you can be sure of a frightful night playing this epic game!

After a long year of hiatus-ing and Tears of the Kingdom hyping, we are pumped to welcome back Tyson Anderegg! He and Tanner talk about some of their most nostalgic memories (for better or for worse), and they discuss why the next Zelda game should be another realistic graphic, darker tone game like Twilight Princess.

Welcome our newest guest, Jacob Anderegg! Jake is helping us kick off our string of episodes dedicated to Twilight Princess. He and the Short Clan talk about their favorite moments, least favorite moments, and their reasons for considering this game as one of the best in the series.

Tanner gives a quick background into the production of Twilight Princess, and Maddie gives her spot-on synopsis of the events within the game.

The entire Short family shares their favorite memories of Wind Waker.

Tanner and Timmi delve into the lore of Wind Waker, starting with the connections it made with Ocarina of Time. This was a landmark game in the fact that it was explicitly linked to another Zelda game in spite of its artistic makeover and drastically different story concept. This opened the door to a more widespread idea that all the Zelda games could be connected which eventually led to the creation of the timeline. One of the more interesting connections Wind Waker made was in the species found in the game and their guardian deities and how they related to those found in Ocarina.

From there, they discussed the possible geographic relationship between the two games. Even though it's typical for a new Zelda game to disregard the geography of Zeldas past, there are still notable similarities that can be drawn between major locations in both games.

Finally, they discussed a point of great importance...who is Link's grandpa??
