ZUCast Episode 24: Tears of the Kingdom Gameplay Roundtable

Welcome back to ZUCast! Now back and ready for a new format filled with discussions, banter, and plenty of opinions. We're happy to have you along with us. With this  setup we're going to dive into themes and topics that will look at the Zelda franchise in new and interesting angles; creating a forum for our hosts to explore new facets of Hyrule. Each episode will surround a theme, with the segments exploring a question based on that theme. Our segment hosts will discuss and debate while the podcast hosts will tie them all together. Our first foray into this adventure involves multiple adventures. Specifically the times our fearless hero gets himself a sequel. Not every Link simply rides off into the sunset after his adventure is over, and what Nintendo does with those second installments is something we hope to explore.  Hosts - Connor and Zach Segment 1: What would you add to Phantom Hourglass to make it feel more like Wind Waker? - Jory and Joshua6:35 - 23:56 Segment 2: Which single adventure Link deserves another adventure? - Amanda and Elias36:57 - 53:14  If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda– and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more.

EmperorP, out of the Shrine of Resurrection and gave him a microphone, headphones, and a computer so that he could co-host this episode with everyone's favorite Amanda, Amanda VanHiel. We've also got two glowing appraisals of different aspects of BotW, plus a more critical discussion with the hosts and special guest Cody Davies, our Consulting Producer, ZU Webmaster, and perennial shoveler! To top it all off, a few members of our forum community shared their favorite memories of the game with us, which we are excited to share with you! So!

ZUCast 21: Dawn of a New Year!

Hey, Zelda fans! 2021 has been a rough year for many of you—this has been, like, the longest year for me—and the general lack of Zelda stuff has not made it any easier. Hopefully, the five episodes we put out before this one this year have made it just a little bit more tolerable! If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda- and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community! This is actually our twentieth episode since we returned from the dead in 2018! While I had wanted to do a little more for it than what we ended up doing, I did get to co-host this episode with my friend and yours, Elias Thompson, and had a great time doing it. Plus, we have a slate of thought-provoking content, including the return of a segment that we haven't had in a while, as well as a guest segment from former Zelda Universe and Zelda Wiki "tech guy" Justin! So, without further ado, here's the rundown for this episode: Zelda History, Part 6: 2011-2015Presented by Shona0:05:49-0:15:46Hey Listen!: Reflecting on the 35th AnniversaryPresented by Brian0:21:36-0:29:53An Introduction to Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy RupeelandPresented by Justin Folvarcik, former ZU DevOps head0:33:25-0:43:50What If Zelda Was…an Unpacking Game?Presented by Randy0:48:56-0:56:13Episode creditsPresented by Eden1:03:10-1:06:56Oops! I Crapped My Pants (Bloopers)1:06:58-1:11:09 Zelda Universe also has a presence on Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok (@ZeldaUniverse), and Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch (@ZeldaUniverseTV). We also have a website, zeldauniverse.net, which is older than any of those social media sites. You can leave feedback about the ZUCast on said social media sites, in our email inbox at podcast@zeldauniverse.net, or on the Zelda Universe Forums, which again, has been around longer than those social media sites. We're old, is what I think I'm getting at. With the Breath of the Wild sequel (probably) out next year, you can look forward to some particularly awesome episodes from us coming in the near future! As to what else awaits all of us, only time will tell. In the meantime, thanks to all of you for sticking with us for all this time, whether you started with our first episode in 2018 or this one! Happy new year! Special thanks to Joshua Lindquist for putting together the static graphics for this episode!

ZUCast 19: When Life Happens, We Still Make Podcasts!

We're back with our first episode since this year's E3, and we've dedicated a significant portion of it to dissecting Nintendo's E3 Direct and all the juicy stuff we saw! I know it's been a hot minute since then, but some of us are still riding high from that hour or so, so please suck it up!d===(￣▽￣*)b If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda- and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community! As mentioned, this month, we've got a lot of stuff related to E3: Randy's finally returned to us to break down and offer his personal opinions on everything we saw during the E3 Direct, Realm and Ann tell us their predictions for the Breath of the Wild sequel based on the E3 teaser trailer, and episode hosts Peyton and Andrew have their own E3 opinions, as well. (So many opinions…) Plus, Shona presents the fourth part of her ongoing franchise history segment, covering the years in which people got excited for a GameCube Zelda, became enraged at what they were actually getting, and then realized that they had overreacted. (Basically, the best time to be a Zelda fan!) And to top it all off, Connor details, rather convincingly, why he believes that no game has yet treated the Master Sword as well as A Link to the Past did. This episode is sure to make your day Zeldarific, which, incidentally, should be a dictionary word. Here's the full rundown for the episode: Zelda History, Part 4: 2001-2005Presented by Shona0:02:36-0:13:07Hosty discussion: The early oughts in ZeldaPresented by your hosts, Andrew and Peyton0:13:08-0:25:19A Review of Nintendo's E3 DirectPresented by Randy0:25:23-0:39:42Hosty discussion: Nintendo's Zelda 35th anniversary "celebrations"Presented by your hosts0:39:45-0:46:46TheZeldaRealm: Deconstructing the 2021 BotW Sequel TrailerPresented by Realm and TheZeldaAnn0:46:47-1:06:15Hosty discussion: Possibilities for the BotW sequelPresented by your hosts1:06:16-1:15:37Piece of Heart: The Master Sword of A Link to the PastPresented by Connor1:15:39-1:24:00Hosty discussion: Peyton isn't an ALttP fanPresented by your hosts1:24:02-1:32:58Episode creditsPresented by Eden1:35:00-1:38:27Shenaninanigans (Bloopers)1:38:29-1:43:05 If you like what you hear today, you're welcome to check out our other media, both social and otherwise: on Facebook and Twitter (@ZeldaUniverse), and Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch (@ZeldaUniverseTV).

You can do so on our social media, in our email inbox at podcast@zeldauniverse.net, or on the Zelda Universe Forums. Please feed our delicate yet ravenous egos! We also post these things on YouTube, but up until now, the visual component has basically amounted to an hour-long view of our logo, with the occasional visual gag courtesy of our very own Kelly the Editor. I am happy to announce that we are in the process, starting with this episode, of spicing up our YouTube releases a bit! On that note, please join me in giving a warm welcome to the ZUBC's new "graphics peeps," Cayden and Alexandria, who are already working with Kelly to make our YouTube releases easier on the eyes! Finally, it has come to my attention that our presence on Stitcher has been kind of wonky for several months, with new episodes not making it to that service for some unknown reason.

ZUCast: Looking Back at E3 2021!

This year's virtual E3 conference is just around the corner, and we're all really excited for whatever Nintendo has in store for us on Tuesday! (If you're listening to this after the Direct, feel free to laugh at our ignorance.) We even brought in a couple of very special guests to talk E3 hype and other stuff, so you'll definitely want to check out this episode of the ZUCast! If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda- and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community! Cody and Elias are back to host our pre-E3 ("prE3"?) episode, and because Cody is involved, you can safely expect some shenanigans! Besides shenanigans, Shona continues her ongoing Zelda History segment, looking at what are probably the five most legendary years in the franchise's 35-year history, 1996-2000; Elias trolls all of the timeline theorists with his latest Fake Zelda History factoid; Ann and Realm return to talk about what they want to see in the sequel to Breath of the Wild, particularly with regard to dungeons; and as I alluded to before, the hosts chat with a couple of their kindred spirits about Zelda podcasting, E3, and more! Was all of that in order? No, it was not, but you can see the proper rundown below: Zelda History, Part 3: 1996-2000Presented by Shona0:05:48-0:13:38Interview/Roundtable: Andy and Alasyn from Zelda Dungeon's Champions' CastPresented by the hosts0:16:51-0:41:36TheZeldaRealm: Dungeons in the Breath of the Wild SequelPresented by TheZeldaAnn and Realm0:45:42-1:05:51Fake Zelda History: Where the Zelda Timeline Really BeginsPresented by Elias1:09:58-1:11:26Episode creditsPresented by Eden1:16:01-1:20:22Everyone Makes Mistakes (Bloopers)1:20:23-1:21:32 Don't forget to follow Zelda Universe on social media for all of the breaking E3 news!

And while you're at it, please leave us feedback; without your feedback, we can't tell if we're bringing you good vibes or if we're making your ears bleed! If social media doesn't appeal to you, you can also send us feedback directly at podcast@zeldauniverse.net or in our thread on the ZU Forums.

ZUCast: Gearing Up for E3 2021!

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! If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda- and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community! 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)! Here's the detailed skedge: Zelda History, Part 2: 1991-1995Presented by Shona0:02:35-0:12:57Hosty discussion: Reflecting on early-90s ZeldaPresented by the hosts0:12:59-0:35:48TheZeldaRealm: Predictions for the Breath of the Wild SequelPresented by Realm and TheZeldaAnn0:35:49-0:55:21Hosty discussion: Talking sequelsPresented by the hosts0:55:26-1:06:57Piece of Heart: Skyward Sword's Immersive StoryPresented by Connor1:07:01-1:16:28Hosty discussion: Remembering (and remaking) Skyward SwordPresented by the hosts1:16:30-1:37:02Episode creditsPresented by Eden1:40:55-1:45:11Uh… (Bloopers)1:45:23-1:52:41 If you feel like it, please let us know what you think of this episode or the podcast in general!

ZUCast: More History, More BotW 2 Predictions, and More Skyward Sword!

The ZUCast is back for 2021, kicking off a year of anniversary celebrations both for the Legend of Zelda series we all love and for Zelda Universe itself! In case you were unaware, the original Famicom game launched on February 21, 1986, and just shy of fifteen years later, on February 20, 2001, a Norwegian named Lars launched Zelda Universe. So all year long, we're going to be interspersing our regular juicy podcast content with some super-special retrospective content! If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda and Nintendo related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community! We actually have three new faces—er, voices—on our humble podcast team, and you'll hear one of them this episode: Connor Schultz, a Features Writer here on Zelda Universe and a born podcaster! Welcome to the ZUBC, Connor! Oh, and Shona, TheZeldaAnn, and Realm are back, as well as Peyton (who co-hosts the episode with Amanda), so if you've been wondering what happened to any of them, wonder no more! Anyway, here's what you have to look forward in this, the 15th episode of NuZUCast™: Zelda History, Part 1: 1986-1990Presented by Shona0:01:46-0:12:31Piece of Heart: The Music of Zelda I and IIPresented by Connor0:16:45-0:25:28Opinion Corner: The Zelda TimelinePresented by TheZeldaAnn and Realm0:27:39-1:08:17Episode creditsPresented by Eden1:16:56-1:21:10"Nope!"

ZUCast: Kicking Off a Year of Anniversaries!

The Legend of Zelda community news and discussion

Surprise! The ZUBC is bringing a little light to the end of a dark, dark year with our second episode release in a single month! And it's a super special episode, to boot!If you found us through Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda and Nintendo related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch or join our large, welcoming forum community!Yes, as promised, this is our special Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity episode! We know that many of you have only just gotten your hands on the game, so we stuck by a strict code of only covering content available before Chapter 5 (roughly the first half of the game). That means that Chapter 5 and onward was off-limits to us, and Lynels were standing by to dole out punishment to anyone who mentioned anything from the latter half of the game.This episode is a little different from past episodes: the hosts have more air time than usual, and we only have two regular segments. Do not fret, however; your hosts, Media Man Alex and yours truly (Eden) have a lot to discuss! (I kid you not: I think I've put more hours into the original Hyrule Warriors game among all three releases than I have into any other video game ever throughout time. I was destined to play it. And yes, I've already pumped almost 100 hours into Age of Calamity. Because it's awesome. Must. Contain. Excitement!)Our other content this episode includes another edition of "What If Zelda Was…?" by Randy, in which he breaks down what sets each Hyrule Warriors game apart from the other; a bitingly timey-wimey installment of "Fake Zelda History" from Elias; and a special roundtable discussion featuring Kelly (the Editor)!A lot of love went into this episode—at the very least, from me lol—and we're pretty sure you'll feel it, too. Thanks for sticking with us this year, and we'll see you again in 2021! (We have some super special things planned for some super special anniversaries….)Here's what you can expect to hear this episode: IntroPresented by the hosts0:00:00-0:07:29 What If Zelda Was…a Dynasty Warriors Game…That's a Zelda Game?Presented by Randy0:07:33-0:15:38 Hosty discussion: Different experiences of Age of CalamityPresented by the hosts0:15:43-0:26:47 Roundtable Discussion: What the First Hyrule Warriors Did Wrong (and Right)Presented by the hosts + Kelly0:26:48-0:54:02 Fake Zelda History: TimelinesPresented by Elias0:54:34-0:56:14 OutroPresented by the hosts0:56:18-1:03:50 Episode creditsPresented by Eden1:03:53-1:07:14 Kelly's dog, Texas, makes her ZUCast debut (Bloopers)1:07:19-1:10:44You can let us know what you think of this episode or the podcast in general!

ZUCast: Warning! Breath of the Wild Sequel Approaching!

Sorry for the wait, folks, but we figured we should wait until E3 was over so we could include at least mentions of the epic announcements.

You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch or join our large, welcoming forum community!This episode exists in two different timelines: one in which E3 didn't happen (yet) and another in which it did. Most of the segments were recorded before E3, but everything else was recorded afterward. So if your favorite Segment Host doesn't mention Chamber Dungeons or a certain teaser trailer that had you and everyone else screaming, then you know which timeline that segment is from. See? Isn't podcast timeline theorizing fun?

ZUCast: Musical Easter Eggs, Hyrule, and ProtonJon!

I’ve been DYING to find a Legend of Zelda podcast/series! I first started with listening to the Hyrule Academy series on Radio Hyrule, and then they kinda disappeared. So happy to see that you guys are starting up a podcast again after 7yrs! I look forward to all the topics that’ll be discussed!

So glad I found this!

Zelda Universe Podcast

For our most recent podcast episode, we dedicated over an hour and a half to celebrating one of the greatest video games ever, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. As part of that celebration, our Roundtable Moderator, Peyton, gathered four panelists for an epic discussion the likes of which the ZUBC had never before produced! Unfortunately, it was too epic to fit into our regular episode without being cut down drastically; almost forty minutes is missing from that cut. Have no fear, though, for this is your opportunity to hear the full, hour-long discussion, with all of the yelling and shenanigans that you missed out on in the main podcast episode! Thanks to the panelists:  Amanda VanHiel, host of the ZUCast and Zelda News on ZU Alex Rosenberg, host of the ZUCast and ZU's Media Director Joshua Lindquist, ZU's Content &amp; Technology Director and actual fan of Zelda II MasaeAnela, Let's Player and Twitch streamer  Peyton Garrett (a.k.a. EmperorP) serves as moderator for this roundtable discussion. (NOTE: If you already listened to the preview in the podcast episode, the new stuff starts at 15:41.) This is an official side-release of the ZUCast, the audio podcast of Zelda Universe, and was produced by the ZUBC. If you don't know what the ZUCast is, you can find subscription links below, or you can find us on zeldauniverse.net. Feel free to us know what you thought of what you heard here! You can leave us feedback directly at podcast@zeldauniverse.net, or on our Facebook or Twitter, @ZeldaUniverse. Listen to the roundtable on YouTube

20 Years of Ocarina of Time: The Unabridged Roundtable Discussion (ZUCast)

Here's that Ocarina of Time episode we promised!If you found us through iTunes, Google Play, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda and Nintendo related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch or join our large, welcoming forum community!November was Ocarina of Time's 20th birthday! Unfortunately, we were still getting our act together at that time, so this is the earliest we could pump out something to honor what many nerd-folk consider one of the finest video games of all time.Aside from our usual Community News segment, which is still worth listening to if you have any interest in the Zelda Universe community, everything in this episode is related to Ocarina of Time! Two returning segments cover highs and lows from the classic game, plus we've got two special guest segments: one from longtime ZU writer and professional game designer Max Nichols, who takes a look at a few of the challenges the developers faced transitioning the franchise into 3D; and a short and very sweet tribute to the game from none other than the legendary Chuggaaconroy! Finally, we got a group of nerds together to yell at each other about Ocarina of Time for almost an hour in a roundtable discussion, and you can hear the first quarter or so of that in this episode! (You can listen to the complete roundtable as a separate release on our podcast feed, website, or YouTube channel.)So grab your dopey, green sock-hat and your Kokiri Sword, and get ready to celebrate two decades of a timeless classic…two months late!And for the discerning among you, here's the complete lineup: Community NewsPresented by RealmWings0:03:19-0:11:18 Mitchie's Corner: The Best and Worst Dungeons of OoTPresented by Mitch0:11:33-0:24:22 The Fundamental Challenges of 3DPresented by guest Max Nichols0:29:09-0:39:13 Ranking the Most Useless Items in OoTPresented by Brian0:46:31-0:51:30 Ocarina of Love: A Tribute to Ocarina of TimePresented by guest Chuggaaconroy0:55:49-0:57:57 Roundtable Discussion: 20 Years of Ocarina of Time [ABRIDGED]Presented by Peyton, featuring Amanda, Alex, ZU Content &amp; Technology Director Joshua, and special guest MasaeAnela1:02:24-1:18:37 Your FeedbackPresented by your hosts, Amanda and Alex1:19:04-1:26:36 Staff creditsPresented by yours truly1:30:26-1:35:30 lulz1:35:31-1:42:20Hey!
