Retrofecta

Retrofecta is back and this month we dive into The Legend of Zelda (The Hyrule Fantasy as it's known elsewhere). Kurt and Kenneth cover everything from rabbits being the most dangerous of enemies to how Miyamoto pushed this release into new social areas of gaming. As always, we go over the speed runners who put us to shame and dig into our thoughts both on this game as a stand alone title and how it influenced the industry.

Welcome to the first Retrofecta! Hosts Kurt and Kenneth will be meeting monthly to chat about their trials and adventures playing through Nintendo's big three tent pole series: Super Mario Bros, the assorted Legends of Zelda, and Metroid. They jump right into the action with Super Mario Bros 1 for the NES and range from how speed runners can clear it in under five minutes but they keep falling into pits all the way to how a platformer that traveled right to left would blow their minds.

Huge thanks to Explodeyman from http://explodeyman.bandcamp.com/ for the intro/outro music from his kickass song, Fireball.
