The Zelda Cast

Last week in our Definitive Ranking of Skyward Sword, we glossed over the dungeons, giving them a perfect 5 and promising to elaborate the next week. Well, that week is now here, and we have a lot to say about the different dungeons of Skyward Sword! We go over all seven dungeons, discussing in great detail the bosses, the items, the music, the aesthetic, and puzzles, and more! We had wildly different rankings, so there was some hard bargaining too! Come tell us what you think of our list, and make sure to let us know what your faves are!

PLUS... what kind of world are we living in when Nintendo acknowledges Metroid's 35th anniversary and not Zelda's?! Craziness!

Alasyn returns this week to join Andy in one of their absolute favorite activities: definitive rankings! Borrowing the concept from their Hyrule Compendium pals, definitive ranking entails taking the ten categories that really make up a Zelda game - the world, the art style, the story, the music, the dungeons, the bosses, the items, the pacing, the extras, and the gameplay - and ranking it from 1 to 5. Where does Skyward Sword fall on our list? Come listen to find out!

Plus, don't miss next week, and as dive deep into the dungeons of Skyward Sword, PLUS, we talk some Zelda Dungeon Marathon! Come hang out with us!

Happy ZDMX week everyone! This week, our pal Alasyn is away for the 10th annual Zelda Dungeon Marathon, so we're cracking open a previously-Twitch-exclusive episode pitting Andy and Al against Zelda Universe's Alex Trevino and Amanda van Hiel! There might be a few audio hiccups on here, but we figured it was better than skipping a week of the show, so come on and play with us! There are some epic doozeys in here, o come and see which competitor walks away the champion from this Fatal 4-Way matchup!

It's finally here! The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is one of both Andy and Alasyn's favorite Zelda games ever, so there was a lot to look forward to in the new HD remaster. Hear our thoughts as we go in depth covering both control schemes, what works and what doesn't, what we think of the updated visuals and performance, what's missing from HD that would level it up even more, and what QOL changes really stick out to us as invaluable. Come and enjoy Skyward Sword HD with us!

We are back with another weeks worth of Daily Debates to, well, debate! We picked the minds of Zelda Dungeon's Writing Team, getting some of the best and most engaging questions to give our hot takes on! We cover a bunch of different issues, such as: what we think of the Switch OLED, our favorite tunes in Skyward Sword, the idea that we might not be playing as Link in Breath of the Wild 2, interactive memories, voice acting, Zelda as a playable character or companion, and if Nintendo botched Zelda's 35th anniversary.

Come hang out with us, and be sure to check us out over on Twitch!

Welcome to another episode of the Champions' Cast! This week, we're joined by Zelda Universe's Alex Trevino to discuss and review the first wave of DLC for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Pulse of the Ancients! Find out what we thought about the new skill tree, learn about all the different upgrades available, if we liked the new Flail and Master Cycle weapons, what viscous monsters were the worst, and of course, if we rated the new playable characters, the Battle Tested Guardian, as a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

All this, plus we get Alex's take on whether it's still possible that the events of Age of Calamity will have any bearing on the plot of Breath of the Wild 2, or if that ship has long sailed. Check it out!

We're still on cloud nine after finally seeing the latest Breath of the Wild 2 trailer, so this week, the gang tackle your fan questions and theories! We're covering a whole array of topics, including our take on the popular fan theory about the Zonai Tribe and their potential influence on the game. Plus, might we be playing both in the present and 10,000 years in the past? Will Age of Calamity's ending have any impact on Breath of the Wild 2? Is it coincidence or design that Skyward Sword HD releases so close before? What's the sweet spot for open world gameplay vs traditional storytelling? Is Demise showing back up? How about Astor? How about Fi?!

So much to unpack, so much to talk about! Make sure you're hanging out with us!

We're still coming down from the high of last week's Nintendo Direct, where we finally got to see new footage from the sequel to Breath of the Wild, so this week, we tried to put our thinking caps on and really break down what we saw. Come listen to our theories on Link's arm, how Runes might work, the relationship between the Sky and the Ground, what's up with Link's Champions Tunic, who that creepy corpse guy might be, what happens to Zelda and so much more! We only got about 1:30 of new footage, but there's so much to unpack!

This, plus what' up with Nintendo not revealing the subtitle for the sequel, and did this trailer really move the needle for us, or did it leave us a little underwhelmed? Come hang with us!

Come hear our thoughts on the trailer, what we noticed about Link's hand, speculation over the new ruins, our thoughts on Hyrules sky and much more! Plus, we talk about Age of Calamity's DLC, the lack of special Zelda 35th Anniversary stuff, and more!

All that, plus we give our two cents on Metroid Dread (!!!), the newest Smash fighter, and all the big games revealed at E3!

We're so close we can TASTE it. Eight days away from E3 and the potential revealing of Breath of the Wild 2, Age of Calamity DLC, and Skyward Sword HD details in what seems like it could be a very Zelda heavy presentation has over the moon. Of course, the best way to know where you're going is to know where you've been, so this week, Andy and Al take a look at some of the high points and low spots Zelda has found itself in over the years at E3.

This, plus BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TIME. We have started a Twitch channel and our first stream will be post-Nintendo Direct on the 15th at 10 am PST. To get our channel kicked off in the right way, we are GIVING AWAY a Champions' Cast t-shirt - all you need to do to enter the draw is go follow the channel. That's it!
