Join Zelda Dungeon’s weekly Zelda podcast show, The Zelda Cast!
Welcome back for a new episode of the BEST Zelda podcast ever, folks! This week, Al is joined by The Zelda Cast's social media manager, Jules! In celebration of The Minish Cap's 20th anniversary (per the North American release on January 10th, 2005), we get down to business and definitively rank the most charming Zelda game. We discuss the game's world, story, pacing, dungeons, side content and more! And don't worry, we didn't forget about that little nugget of news Nintendo dropped earlier this week!
Give us a listen to hear our initial thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, our Minish Cap rankings, and more!

With no new news of the Switch 2 this week, we're turning to Zelda Dungeon's amazing writing team to answer a bunch of Daily Debates! Some of the topics include: what Zelda game has gotten better with age? What's the most underrated villain in the series? What accomplishment in the series that we have done are we the most proud of? What name do we always mispronounce? What's our thoughts on Nintendo Music so far?
All this, and so much more! Come hang with us!

We're doing things a bit differently this week and celebrating SEVEN years of this podcast by doing a special Q&A that's not necessarily about Zelda, but about Andy and Al as hosts! We're talking about the early days of the show, telling stories, and answering questions about favorite Lord of the Rings lines and moments, what our favorite songs of 2024 were, what JRPG series are amongst our favorites, Zelda ROM hacks and what game we'd make, why certain spinoffs aren't included in Best Zelda Ever, and so much more!
Thank you to everyone for the support over the last 7 years! We can't wait to celebrate with you in 7 more years!

Just in time for the end of the year, Zelda Dungeon has published it's biggest yearly feature: Best Zelda Ever! This years list features Echoes of Wisdom's debut, games rising and falling down the list, and some shocking placements of beloved classics. Andy and Al both contributed to the list and review it game-by-game to see what we agree with, what we disagree with, and why we placed some of our pick where we did. Make sure you check out the list for yourself to see where your favorite game landed!
This is our final show of 2024, so from all of us, Happy New Year!!

Happy Monday, Zelda fans. This week, we've got a breezy show that focuses on Okami's return at The Game Awards and our thoughts on the state of Geoff Keighly's show, what we thought the high points and low points for the Zelda franchise were in 2024, and what we can expect to see from the series in 2025 - everything from the debut of the Switch 2, possible casting news in the Zelda Movie, ports finally coming to Switch to fill time, and maybe even a new Zelda game announced??
Come and hang with us, and just FYI - no new show next week, as we're taking the week off for the holidays! From everyone at the Zelda Cast, have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Our Echoes of Wisdom coverage is coming to an end for now, as this week, we put a bow on our last few weeks worth of coverage by assigning a final score to each of the ten key categories that define a great Zelda game: the world, the art style, the gameplay, the pacing, the story, the music, the enemies and bosses, the dungeons, the items, and the side content. We debate, discuss, and talk about how this game was exactly what Zelda fans needed.
All this, PLUS a little Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and cozy gaming discussion! Come hang out with us.

We are finally taking all of your Echoes of Wisdom questions this week, and you guys didn't disappoint! We're covering a wide variety of topics, including: do we want to see more games where you play as Zelda? Specifically, do we want to see a direct sequel to Echoes? Should Zelda games reuse/reimagine the same overworld more often? Is Echoes more of a kid-friendly game than Tears of the Kingdom? Who's our favorite new character in the latest Zelda game? How does Echoes impact how we think about A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds?
All this, PLUS some thoughts on the officially announced timeline placement! Come hang out with us!

Our Echoes of Wisdom coverage rolls on, as this week we're definitively ranking all of the many bosses from Zelda's adventure! We ran into some disagreements, particularly about the final boss, and we gushed over some returning bosses that the series hasn't seen in a minute, so we'll definitely need everyone to weigh in and let us know what your list looks like! PLUS, we talk a little Middle Earth & Chill and Black Friday Zelda deals!

We're finally diving right into our thoughts on the story of Echoes of Wisdom! A lot of the conversation revolves around Null, its reveal, its origins, and the pacing of its plot and the reveals, and how we might have altered it, if at all. We're also discussing Tri and how it compared to other companions, how Link was handled, our thoughts on story vs gameplay, how returning characters were handled and our favorite new characters, and so much more!
Come hang out with us and let us know your thoughts on Echoes' story!
