1 hour 52 minutes

A Wild ZUCast appeared! Ready for more of everything you loved from our last episode? We've got that! Ready to meet a new addition to our roster of talent? We've got that, too! Welcome to the sixteenth episode of the modern ZUCast!

You can find the detailed lineup below, but here's a taster of what you have to look forward to in this episode. First off, Shona continues her look back at the history of the Zelda franchise, focusing this time on a five-year period in which Link and Zelda blasted out of the NES and onto other consoles and even beyond gaming. Realm and TheZeldaAnn sit down to discuss their predictions and desires for the hotly anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel, in their newly titled "TheZeldaRealm" segment. Finally, Connor returns with a passionate piece about Skyward Sword's immersive story. And it's all tied together and supplemented by this episode's hosts, veteran host Alex and ZUCast newcomer Andrew Fick (a.k.a. LaughingboyLP)!
