The Zelda Cast

Get your headphones in, because this week, we're taking a musical journey throughout the history of the Zelda series to rank and discuss every games main theme! We go back and find what works, what doesn't, which games were short-changed, and which themes we would consider the best of all time. We're playing every theme in the series, so sit back and groove out to the amazing music of the series. Don't forget to let us know which main theme is your favorite!

PLUS, we're celebrating our FIVE YEAR anniversary in two weeks, and we have a special gimmick coming back, so make sure to stay tuned for that!

Happy New Year! We're ringing in 2023 by answering a whole slew of Zelda Daily Debates that our incredible writing team has put together! Included in the gambit are: how much influence will Skyward Sword have on Tears of the Kingdom? Why has Nintendo been so secretive with the promotion thus far? What are our biggest fears about the upcoming sequel to Breath of the Wild? Could another delay be on the table? Would Nintendo ever release a buggy Zelda game a la Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? What Zelda-like games held us over in 2022? And the million dollar question - how will Tears of the Kingdom distinguish itself from Breath of the Wild?

Come and get your year started the right way by hanging out with the Zelda Cast, and don't forget to weigh in with your own takes on our Daily Debates!

As 2022 comes to a close, the gang reflect on what ended up unfortunately being one of the worst years in the history of the Zelda series. But was it the worst? Andy started doing some research into things that happened year by year in the series and presented it to you this week to decide for yourself what were the best and worst years in the long history of the series. There is a lot of ground to cover, so we're ending the year with our longest episode ever! Come enjoy and tell us what you think our rankings!

All this, PLUS some Avatar and Hades talk! From everyone at the Zelda Cast, we're wishing you and yours a happy and safe New Years!

Welcome back to another week of everyone's favorite Zelda podcast! This week, we put YOU in control and asked you to give us some Zelda questions to answer, and boy, did you deliver! What would a Zelda VR game look like? Which game had the best promotion leading up to its release? Is there a chance we could see a new ultimate weapon replace the Mast Sword? Will there ever be another main line game with pixel art? Does Tears of the Kingdom need a gimmick to set itself apart from Breath of the Wild?

All this and so much more, plus a little Avatar talk! Happy holidays from The Zelda Cast!

Despite nabbing the Most Anticipated Game award, Tears of the Kingdom was a no-show at this years Game Awards, continuing the bizarre, frustrating, and perplexing pre-release cycle the sequel to Breath of the Wild has been on since its reveal, capping off what may go down as the worst year for The Legend of Zelda in the modern era. If you think that's dramatic, come listen to Andy and Al explain why they hold that opinion, and debate on whether Nintendo's arrogance is showing. On the plus side, the gang review the actual Game Awards show, which all things considered, was pretty good. We talk Earthblade, Hades, Death Stranding 2, the Super Mario Bros. Movie, Crime Boss, and so much more!

This episode might not be for the faint of heart, but it's still a fun time! PLUS, come and ask us a question for next weeks show and you could hear it answered!

We're back with another entry into our Ocarina of Time randomizer! This week, we're trying desperately to find bombs so that we can defeat King Dodongo. We explore Hyrule and comb it over, find a bunch of other items, get a couple songs, and put our Zelda knowledge to the test. Did we make it to King Dodongo? You'll have to listen to find out! OOOOOR, you can check out the entire vod with video on Twitch if you'd rather watch!

All this, PLUS some Zelda Jeopardy talk, morning coffee mishaps, and Best Zelda Ever teases! Come hang out!

Somehow, someway, Andy and Al have an incredible talent in that they can both get super duper sick at the exact same time no matter where they are in the world. They both felt too sick to record, but just when things were looking bleak for a new episode of everyone's favorite Zelda podcast this week, out of nowhere came Hyrule Compendium's own Mases Hagopian and Gooey Fame to hold down the fort and deliver a new Zelda Cast! The fellas talk all things Tears of the Kingdom this week, and honestly, that's all I know, so we can all be as surprised at what pops up in this episode as each other!

Enjoy the Tears of the Kingdom intro music? Then check out Zelda & Chill 3!
