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!

The Switch 2 Edition reviews continue this week, as we take a look at Tears of the Kingdom!

We are back with more Switch 2 content, and this week we're diving into Breath of the Wild, Switch 2 Edition. But it's dangerous to go alone, so we took the new Zelda Notes app with us! In this episode we talk about the updated version of the game, and what it was like using the different tools that Zelda Notes has to offer. From a daily bonus and amiibo registration, to the incredible interactive map. And of course, we can't forget about all the new voice memories we found along the way.

Come hang out with us and let us know if you've had a chance to use the Zelda Notes app along your new adventures as well.

After a long and turbulent road to get here, Nintendo's latest console is finally here! We talk about our first impressions for the Nintendo Switch 2, how picking it up went, our thoughts on the screen, how the Joy-Con 2's feel, express disappointment in the eShop being a disaster still, what we think of Mario Kart World, and some of of the performance boosts from other games, and our thoughts on the next big game to come!

Come and hang out with us and let us know your thoughts for the Nintendo Switch successor so far!

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!

After a lengthy layover, Hot Takes returns this week, and we asked YOU to submit your spiciest takes about some of the divisive Zelda games ever made: Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks! We react to what you had to say about the DS titles, weighting in on topics like the Temple of the Ocean King's Pacing, Byrne as an underrated character, the soundtrack of Phantom Hourglass, and if the games would be more beloved if they were console games.

All this, PLUS a little followup on the Sages from Age of Imprisonment! Come hang out with us!

With Alasyn taking the week off this week, Andy calls on his wife - and decided non-Zelda expert - Samantha Spiteri to step in this week to come and out her Zelda knowledge to the test! We go back and forth, asking beginner trivia for Sam and expert Zelda trivia for Andy to see which Spiteri is the ultimate expert! It's a total family affair, and Link the dog makes a cameo and Zora the cat struts in as well, PLUS we hear Sam's experience with the Zelda series, both firsthand and through second hand exposure!

Come and play with us and see which competitor comes out on top!

Everyone's favorite game show Zelda's Percentages returns this week! The premise is simple: we make a statement and then assign a percentage on how likely to be true that statement is, and this week, it's even easier, as every questions "______ will be a playable character in Age of Imprisonment". We go over some shoes ins, like Ganondorf or Sonia, to some borderline plausible characters, like Twinrova or Master Kohga, to some far out there longshots, like Din, Farore, and Nayru! Come play along with us and let us know your Zelda's Percentages!

Next week, HOT TAKES is back, and this time focused on Phantom Hourglass, so give us your spiciest takes on that game and we'll react!

After a few hectic weeks of non-stop news about the Switch 2, we're finally settling into more of a calmer week, as we have a nice and chill time answering some of the Zelda Dungeon writing team's Daily Debates! On the table today: what other films can the Zelda movie take inspiration from? Do the Oracle games feel fulfilling without linking the games and fighting Ganon? What is the actual point of the Nintendo Today app? Zelda aside, which franchise made the jump to 3D best? When might the next Zelda game be headed to NSO? Is Teba's lack of rizz the reason why he was replaced as a Sage?

All this, PLUS a little Star Wars talk on our Twitch channel and plugging Omega Metroid's Metroid Prime Hunters Single-Player and Multiplayer Walkthrough! Come and hang out with us!
