The team is out of office this week, so we're pulling one from the Patreon vault! The very first episode of our new and improved bonus show!

Welcome to the Zelda Cast XL, the new bonus show featuring podcasting's dynamic duo, Andy Spiteri and Gooey Fame! We're taking a new approach to our bonus shows and giving you more of what you love and letting you get more involved in the show itself! Each month, we'll have some fun and play a few games, answer some patreon questions, and discuss some Zelda topics on a more personal level.

This month we are going back to the beginning of our fandom and discussing which Zelda game is the MOST nostalgic? Let us know what game gives you that nostalgic feeling. Also, be sure to leave questions, comments, or suggestions for us to tackle in future episodes!

This episode contains spoilers for Age of Imprisonment!!

Welcome back for another episode of The Zelda Cast! This week, Andy is off handling Metroid business now that Metroid Prime 4 has released. That leaves Al to play host, and she is joined by the podcast’s Social Media Manager, Jules!

We discuss Jules’ overall impression of Age of Imprisonment, as well as answer some thought provoking Daily Debates. Do the comparisons to Zelda game design make us want to play Metroid Prime 4? Should the stable system return in future Zelda games? Is Calamo a response to the “Korok Space Program”? Alasyn and Jules discuss these topics and more, so come hang out!

This episode contains end-game spoilers for Age of Imprisonment

This week on the show, we are answering YOUR questions about Age of Imprisonment, tackling topics like: do we want the Hyrule Warriors series to continue? How in the world can Zelda be a descendant of Rauru and Sonia? Who were our favorite new characters to play as? Were Ganondorf and his Grim-gang compelling villains? Does Nintendo truly understand why fans were upset with Age of Calamity? What were the biggest missed opportunities with the games story?

All this, PLUS we go over Fall Brawl, talk about the latest episode of Middle-Earth: The Podcast, and wish Andy farewell as he takes the next week or two off for Metroid Prime 4! Come hang out with us!

We've reached the end, folks! This week we're going over our thoughts on the ending of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment! What did we think about the final chapters of the game? By the end, what did we think of each character's story arc? Is the post-game enjoyable? Do the connections between Age of Imprisonment and Tears of the Kingdom feel properly portrayed? And most important of all, what is our final review score??

All this, PLUS our thoughts on the first official images from the Zelda movie, and Zelda Dungeon's Charity Art raffle for No Kid Hungry! Come hang out with us!

For Next Week! We’ll be recording an Age of Imprisonment Q&A episode! Message us on Bluesky or submit your questions to our new The Zelda Cast category over on Zelda Dungeon’s Discord where we now have a dedicated Q&A question channel!

This episode does contain spoilers for chapters 3 and 4, and the playable roster of characters, of Age of Imprisonment!!

With a bit more time to chew on Age of Imprisonment, the gang talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the game so far, including: how did we feel the four Sages came across? What were our thoughts on the Mysterious Construct flying levels? Initial reactions to Calamo? Should Koei-Temco make a Star Fox game? Does ancient Hyrule feel different enough from modern day Hyrule? Is the most polished Warriors gameplay there is? And finally... who signed off on this roster of playable characters???

All this, PLUS we address the Zelda Movie leaks, Zelda Dungeon's Fall Brawl character contest, and the early Metroid Prime 4 impressions! Come hang out with us!

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is finally out, and the guys have a lot to say about it! We go over our early impressions, detailing which playable characters we like, how we found the Sync-Strike system, how Tears of the Kingdom's Zonai devices are integrated into gameplay, what we think of the story so far, if it stays true to its claims of being canonical, and how the game starts off weirdly fast and slow at the same time. Lots of thought floating around, so come and get in on the action and tell us what you think!

This episode does contain spoilers for chapter 1 and 2 of Age of Imprisonment!! Going forward, we'll be sure to very clearly state which chapters we cover so nothing gets ruined for you! If you want, save these episodes and come back when you're ready!

We are only a mere handful of days away from the release of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, so this week, the gang give their final thoughts on the lead-up and last hopes for what the game will have or not. We discuss things like the story, the credibility Hyrule Warriors games will have in the future if this is another non-canonical tale, if this is the right game at the right time for the Switch 2, how Tears of the Kingdom set Age of Imprisonment up for failure, and more!

All this, PLUS a few Daily Debate questions answered centring around the Virtual Boy and Wii U Zelda tech demo! Come hang out!

We're back again this week with a pitch! Andy has worked diligently on a rewritten story for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and is here to share it with the world! This version of the events in Age of Calamity aims to solve one of our biggest issues with the original game, its non-canon narrative. Join us as Andy presents his canonical "Spiteri Cut" of Age of Calamity - all while keeping the time travel elements intact! And let us know what you think of this version of events! Would you play this game?

All this, PLUS our takes on the latest Age of Imprisonment trailer! Come hang out with us!

We're feeling quite peeved this week and what better way to air out our grievances than to go through Zelda Dungeon's Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom Pet Peeves List! For as beloved as these two games are, there are still many aspects that left Zelda Dungeon's writing team frustrated and we're here to weigh in. We'll be discussing mechanics like Blood Moons, open-ended puzzles, Tears of the Kingdom's memories, being able to eat unlimited food in the midst of battle, and more!

All this, PLUS Alasyn's initial thoughts on the recently released Pokemon Legends: Z-A! Come hang out with us!

We're back for another week, and we've got plenty on the docket, including: looking back at Echoes of Wisdom one year later; what did this game do well, how could the echo system be improved, our thoughts on the story, the future of Zelda games with Zelda in the starring role, and what this game's legacy will end up being. We're also going over the new Age of Imprisonment news, debating about the Sage names, wondering why Tears of the Kingdom didn't make a big deal of these characters, and ultimately asking: three weeks out, are we really excited for this game?

All this, PLUS some thoughts on Nintendo's weird animated Pikmin short, Silksong, and Hades II! Get in here!!
