The Zelda Cast

After a bit of a break, and more importantly after some time for the dust to settle on the Link's Awakening announcement, the lads are back and tackling the biggest issues and comments around Nintendo's dreamy announcement (sorry, that was horrible...). Will this be The Wind Waker 2.0? How much is this gonna cost? Do we find the anime to chibi style jarring? Is this remake connected to Breath of the Wild at all? And most importantly, did this remake need to happen at all?

We go over all this and more, plus pay tribute to the legend himself, Reggie Fils-Aime, in this weeks can't miss show!

Wow. Wowowowowow!! Talk about a way to end a Nintendo Direct! YES, the long rumored remake of Link's Awakening was FINALLY revealed today and Andy and Taylor dive full steam ahead into it! Did we like the trailer? What's up with those graphics?? Is it going to get a subtitle? When do we expect it to be released? Does this put the kibosh on the Skyward Sword HD rumors? All this and so much more!

We also cover everything else presented in the Direct, so buckle in for a very special mid-week edition of The Champions' Cast!

Welcome to a very special loooove themed episode of The Champions' Cast. With Valentines Day right around the corner and Zelda Dungeon celebrating it's Week of Love, Andy and Taylor pick up this perfect opportunity to talk all things romance in the Zelda series and run with it! Do we even like romance in Zelda? Do we like choosing your partner or a predetermined narrative? Who do we "ship" together in the series? What are the greatest romantic angles the series has ever produced? Where do we stand on Midna, Anju, Kafei, Marin, and... Navi?? And most importantly, are we #TeamMipha or #TeamZelda??

Love is in the air in this episode, so sit back and enjoy our deep dive into all four pieces of the heart!

WELCOME BACK to another week, another episode, another great time hanging out with us over at The Champions' Cast. Since thing last week got a bit testy, we brought in friend of the show / middle man / fight breaker-upper Gooey Fame to give us his two cents on The Wind Waker. The boys relax and run through a bunch of Nintendo news, including new Dr. Mario, Darksiders, and Switch sales numbers, before having a chat about what Zelda game needs the 'Resident Evil 2' treatment and how cool it would be to have Sora and co. from Kingdom Hearts explore Nintendo worlds instead of Disney!

You'll wanna check this out for sure! It was a fun and breezy episode after last weeks storm, so come hang out with us!

It's Andy vs Taylor this week as Taylor FINALLY gets down to the nitty gritty of why he believes The Wind Waker is the worst Zelda game of them all... but if you thought Andy was going to let him bury Toon Link and his cell-shaded adventure without a challenge, you thought wrong. Full of tense arguments, swift debates, and a little shouting here and there, this will be one you don't want to miss!

Also on the dock, we discuss the bombastic announcement from Nintendo about Metroid Prime 4 and speculate if the same thing happened to Breath of the Wild, only privately. Come join in on the fun!
