The Zelda Cast

With our Echoes of Wisdom playthrough at an end, it's now time to shift focus to the individual characteristics in this game and see how they stack up! First on the docket is definitively ranking the dungeons! We have eight dungeons to get through, so sit back as we go from Suthorn all the way to Null's Body and talk about worked and didn't, with special focus on dungeon items, dungeon echoes, music, puzzles and boss fights!

All this, PLUS a little Halloween recap, our thoughts on the Nintendo Music app, and the launch of Dungeon Runners!

It was a busy week for Nintendo, as in addition to putting on Zelda-themed booth at PAX West, they also dropped a new Echoes of Wisdom trailer showing off tons of new footage and abilities! We're joined by our good friend Corey Richmond this week as we break down the trailer and give our thoughts and takeaways; we go over the Still World, the void that only Zelda and Tri can enter; discuss our excitement for the return of traditional dungeons; and debate if the Swordfighter ability was truly needed, or if it's a step backwards for Princess Zelda. We wrap it up with some stray observations and other notes on things that stood out in the trailer - if you want to watch it in video form, check out here!

All this, PLUS we give some quick thoughts on the Indie and Partner Direct, plus a little Zelda Cartoon and Rings of Power chatter! Come hang out with us!
