"IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS."

The Cane and Rinse podcast returns for its fifth year with the start of its longest series yet. Just under 30 years ago, Nintendo released The Hyrule Fantasy: Zeruda no Densetsu for the Famicom Disk system. Much better known as The Legend of Zelda, Miyamoto and Tezuka's 1986 action RPG took influences from earlier videogames - as well as the creators' real-life experiences - but undoubtedly blazed many trails of its own. Leon, Darren, Joshua, Ryan and a glut of community contributors discuss what they enjoyed and what they didn't about playing the first, formative game of this mighty franchise.
