Show Notes
We are in the month of February, and this is a particularly memorable month as it is the 40th anniversary of the release of The Legend of Zelda. All month, we'll be celebrating, and to kick us off, Zelda Dungeon Owner and Founder Mases Hagopian joins us to discuss the games creation, its legacy, the inspiration behind the creation, what BETA versions looked like, the dungeons and enemies, and our personal memories of playing the game, both for the first time and in more modern settings! All this, PLUS some Zelda news recaps! Keep it locked in this month as we celebrate this incredible series and game!

Our Twilight Princess 20th anniversary celebration continues, as this week, we are redoing an episode from 8 years ago and re-definitively rank the dungeons of Link's maiden Wii adventure. From the obvious picks that lead the pack to the dungeons fighting for last place, we go through and discuss what we love and what we hate from Twilight Princess! All this, plus we discuss the recent footage from Ocarina of Time. Come hang out with us!
Has it been twenty years already?! Well, believe it or not, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is about to turn 20! In celebration, Andy and Al are jumping right in to their memories with the game both at release and over the years, including Twilight Princess' distinguished presence at the yearly Zelda Dungeon Marathon! When covering a game as a whole we typically follow a structured style, as seen most often in our "Definitive Ranking" episodes. But this week we're simply kicking back and letting the memories flow! To this day, there's still so much to say about Twilight Princess! Let us know what you think! After twenty years, how do you feel about Twilight Princess? All this, PLUS! A shout out to the newly released synthwave album, OcarinaWave by RETROKID! Come hang out with us!
We're back again this week with another round of everyone's favorite game show in this business, Zelda's Percentages! As always, we'll be making a statement and then weighing in on how likely we think that statement will come true. Alasyn is out this week, and so Andy and Nicole will be discussing the possibilities on topics like: Will the Ocarina of Time remake sell more than 15 million copies? Will we see a Zelda movie trailer by the end of either October or November? Will the Ocarina of Time remake be nominated for "Game of The Year" at the next Game Awards? Will Twilight Princess arrive on Gamecube NSO as a part of the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Celebration? And will Master Quest be released as paid DLC for the Ocarina of Time remake? All this, PLUS! Nicole helps us bookend our Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland coverage by sharing what she thought about the odd Zelda spinoff! Come hang out with us!
The party goes on! This week, we're wrapping our celebration of Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland with a good ol' area ranking! As usual with this ranking, we're pitting each area of the game against each other in our tried-and-true Definitive Ranking style! For a game as unique as this, you just know that we had to say more about it! What do you guys think of Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland? Did your favorite area of the game make it into our top ranking? Let us know! All this, PLUS some fall season vibes discussion and Andy's Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth shenanigans and woes! Come hang with us!
Put on your party cap and get your rupees ready! This week, Andy and Al honor 20 years of the bizarre Nintendo DS Tingle spinoff game, Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland! Al just played the game for the first time, so we get her thoughts on the game, we discuss why the spinoff reviewed so poorly and the proper way to play it, we talk about the story and how it tells a quirky yet moving narrative, and Andy honors a fallen friend of his with a story about this game connected them. All this, PLUS we talk Tears of the Zonai getting delayed, give updated thoughts on Ocarina of Time Remake, and talk video games! Come hang with us!!
