The Zelda Cast

This week on the ZI Podcast, we tackle the amazingly exciting E3 2015 expo, filled with tons of laughter, tears, anger, and confusion. Since this is a special episode, we decided to do it differently than usual and record it in two parts: One online, and the other with our team that was on the show floor the entire three days. This week's podcast features, for the in person section (part 1): Adam, your host as always; Jeff, the man with the plan; Zion, the man with the cam; and Rodney, the man...with...something (I ran out of rhymes).

Your online cast features: Caleb, your temporary host (doing a pretty solid job, might I add); Jake (He's very butt hurt this week, but we still love him); Chris, the optimist (If I had a nickel for every time he cursed...); and Leon (he sounds like solid snake). 

As usual you can download this week's podcast in the links above, and subscribe to us on podbean or iTunes.  Got fan art, theme songs, or topics? Make sure to send them our way at [email protected]. We're a bit back-logged on topics (we'll be going covering them starting next week), but we're always happy to hear from you all and answer as many questions as we can!

This week's pod's cast is Adam, your host (He likes things that are bad for him), Jake (Just some guy we found), Caleb (Currently burying Warchamp7 for his opinions), and Warchamp7 (We just like to call him Champ). 

Thank you so much to those of you who sent in fan topics this week, and an extra special shoutout to Josh for sending us a gold cartridge copy of NES Zelda and a copy of The Adventure of Link! It's super sweet but we only got it in the mail after we recorded this episode (proper shoutout on next week's episode). 

Speaking of which, next week we'll be recording on Tuesday since Adam is traveling on Thursday when we usually record, so please send your fan topics for next week before then. The email to send us fan topics, theme song submissions, cover art, or questions, is (as always) [email protected].  Additionally, you can also Tweet discussion topics to us @ZeldaInformer!

Thanks to everyone who submitted fan topics this week! If you have any of your own fan topics, theme song submissions, art work, or just fan mail, please send it to us at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you!

Speaking of which, please take a moment and fill out our survey when you get the chance. We've been getting some great feedback, and we want to hear from as many of you as possible.  If you've got a spare five minutes, consider giving it a go!

Finally, if you liked this week's banner (first of all, thank you) then please consider commissioning me. My prices are ​here if you're at all interested. 

This week on the ZI Podcast we talk about why Majora’s Mask isn’t your typical Zelda game, we discuss the possible ways to fix wall puzzles, and we discuss how hammerspace works into the Zelda franchise. With plenty of fan topics, this episode had a lot to say with a shorter than usual length. This week’s cast is: your host as always, Adam, joined by Chris (Never stops talking about Ezlo), Caleb (the podcast’s Quiet Contender), Sarah (our self-proclaimed fashion expert), and special guest TopSpinTheFuzzy (We call him Jeph/Jephers).

Thank you to those of you who submitted fan topics this week, as well as theme song submissions. If you have any of your own work that you’d like us to feature, please send those to us at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you all! This episode was a bit on the shorter side, due to Adam very very tired, so he (or I?) apologizes for that in advance. I hope you still enjoy this week’s episode. 

Our guest for next week is ​Yacht Club Games (developers of Shovel Knight, for those of you who live under a rock), so we hope you look forward to that and send in some topics you'd like us to discuss with them! Also, please take our updated survey!

In episode 36 of the podcast, we talk with one of Adam’s longstanding idols about some of the burning questions in the Zelda community: What makes Zelda II so terrible? Can you properly mod a Zelda game? And what exactly IS the Nintendo World Championship? This week’s podcast crew seeks these answers and more. But first, your team for this week is Adam, your host as always (Better in post); Caleb, the babe (This was his favorite episode); Jeff, CE Supreme (Making people mad, as always), and our special guest, Mick (SassPirate Mick, check out his new Metal Band EP this fall)! 

In addition to the topics mentioned in this week's episode title, we discuss Zelda lore, virtual reality, and RicePirate shares some news fresh from the mysterious cabin (also known ans Sleepy Cabin: Seriously, check it out)! We also have a healthy sized interview with Mick about his work, growing up, and the quality of the content that’s being made online these days, rounding out the discussion by asking Mick what he would do if he was in charge of an Animated Legend of Zelda Reboot. Thanks so much to Aaron and Darrin (rhymes~!) for your fan topics and Brandon for your awesome theme song.

If you have any of your own topics, theme song submissions, theories, or gaming topics, please send those to us at [email protected]! We're more than happy to answer most any questions (keep it safe for the kids, people!) and feature fan work, so don't be shy!

ALSO please help us out by filling out this survey about the podcast and what you'd like to see in the future.

This week, we discuss the possibility of a Nintendo theme park, which title in the zelda series is the most re-playable, and what RPG elements the series could embrace. Plenty of fan topics, and good discussion all around, despite the audio issues, make this episode fantastic and definitely worth a listen. Your cast for this week is Adam (Embracing the pig inside), Jake (Thinks Konami smells), Jeff (We promise he’s not a robot), Sarah (Her pictures make Adam cry), and Tom (His music videos make Adam cry). There’s a healthy amount of debate in this episode, as well as a discussion on Nintendo’s Creators Program and more on the Hero’s Spirit theory. 

Thank you to everyone who emailed in topics for this week’s episode, as well as Brandon for our awesome opening theme song, and Jeesh for that fantastic outro we use each week! If you have any of your own podcast topics, questions, theme songs, or art, please send those to us at [email protected].

Also, if you want art, our podcast host (That’s me, Adam) recently opened up commissions! Check out the link below to see some of my better work and my prices. This banner was done rather quickly, so the quality of it is lower than what you would expect from something commissioned. I will also give you a loving shoutout on the podcast if you do reach out to me about commissions. Also, be sure to take part in our podcast survey by clicking here!

P.S. #EmbraceThePigInside and #TyForGirl

Adam (your weekly goof of a host) is joined by: Jake, Caleb, and Rozen (prefers going by Daniel) for one of our biggest conversational shifts in tone yet. If you like fan theories for the Zelda universe and are craving a new one then this is the episode for you! The theory on The Hero's Spirit starts at about the hour mark if you want to get right to it. Thanks again to Brandon for that opening theme song and Jeesh for that closing theme!

Don't forget to check out the links below to check out more of everything we discussed in this week's episode. And as always, if you have any of your own theme song submissions, topics, or fan art, please send that to us at [email protected]!
