Every two weeks, Monica, Cameron and Crystal come together to explain the lore of The Legend of Zelda series, one game at a time. Podcast Art by Torkirby.

Don’t actually Discuss lore and get lost on tangents. Also, criticize and hate on the source material

Garbage

Cam, Crystal and Monica, thank you all so much for introducing me to the depths of Zelda lore! I just finished BOTW this year and I’m 30 years old (I’ve been putting off playing LOZ games for basically my entire adolescence). I’ve always had good friends who enjoyed the series and I often admired its artwork and music but now I truly understand how vast and rich it is. You all take the understanding of the series to several more levels that constantly thrill and interest me. I enjoy listening to your talks on my commutes and I hope you all will continue to expand the podcast to other media (video would be cool) or just post more often. Keep up the great work and content! I’ll be listening!

Great discussion
