Thank you to James Shuar, @luministmusic for allowing us to use his music in the intro and outro!

The 20th canonical Zelda game has finally arrived. They made a 2-hour voice-acted animated movie like everyone wanted! When the Goddess calls out to her forgotten friend, it opens a portal through time to deliver a revelation of calamity to the past, only to be followed by the malice itself. Armed with the knowledge of the future, can the Goddess avert the calamity apocalypse?

Now that the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is still in development, we have a new batch of questions to answer, such as: What happened to the master sword? Does Zelda still have telepathy? And, will you be able to use cool exploits to get to the floating islands?

Another one minute and thirty-six seconds of the 20th canonical Zelda game have been released, and it is time to analyze it! We discuss Princess Zelda’s death and descent into the pit of hell, the source of the mysterious floating isles, and the possibility a closed time loop with Skyward Sword.

The mail continues to come in and we will continue to answer your questions, such as: Could the Realm of the Ocean King be a dream? What is the result of the “Dunno” ending in Spirit Tracks? And what’s the deal with Dune?

Thank you for continuing to send us e-mails! We have developed quite a backlog, but we’re going to slowly work through it by answering such questions as: Where did the Hero’s Bow come from? How come nobody recognizes Majora’s Mask? And what if the Zonai are like the ancient brotherhood of Hashshashin?

An ill foreigner visits the city of Yharnam to partake of their miraculous blood ministration, which is capable of healing any disease. Unfortunately, they are saddled with a nightmarish medical debt and must spend the night hunting bloodthirsty beasts to pay it off. We discuss such topics as: Does anything actually happen in Bloodborne? Is Gehrman a villain… or a hero? And why is Hidetaka Miyazak...

The gamer's dream has been achieved: a pre-release demo that answers many of the questions you had while introducing many even more intriguing questions and also being fun to play. We discuss the role of The Fortuneteller, the Good Egg and the Evil Egg, and why Impa completely whips ass.

In the square, the people whisper a tale... not a legend, exactly, certainly not a history, but a story, of warriors from Hyrule, unrivaled in strength yet hopelessly outnumbered, fighting in an apocalyptic age of calamity. We discuss such topics as: What is canon, anyway? What's the deal with Zelda's spells? And why is this evil little egg going to betray you?

A lost package has been delivered! We answer the hottest questions of March 2020, such as: What if Twinrova is a recurring phenomenon? Did Link actually become stronger after his resurrection? And, is it possible to share so much suffering that you literally die?

The Book of Mudora performs the most sacred ritual of the gamer people: making a top 10 list. In this edition, they place 15 games in a top 10 games of the 2010s list, ordered according to quality, but without including any Zelda games. You can see the list at https://bit.ly/Mudora2010s

On the final mailbag of the Book of Mudora Vol. 1, we tackle such questions as: Is Link responsible for the fate of the Sheikah monks? Where is the homeland of the Rito? And, are the Lost Woods evidence of hollow earth theory?

In preparation for the Book of Mudora’s final thesis, we convene to reach consensus on eighteen unanswered questions about the Zelda timeline.

The Book of Mudora convenes to subjectively rank various aspects of the Legend of Zelda according to quality, such as: What are the best ghosts in Zelda? What are the best couples in Zelda? What are the best alternatives to the monarchy in Zelda? You can see the lists yourself at bit.ly/zeldalists !

The Book of Mudora talked for two hours about the one minute and twenty-six second teaser trailer for the 20th canonical Zelda game. We discuss the return of that retro Zelda villain Ganondorf, the ancient curse of the Gerudo (or Zonai?), and Link's new devil bringer.

We reconvene to answer your Zelda questions, such as who is the first bully in the series, why does the City in the Sky have a cloud barrier, and is Thanos the Mad Titan capable of love?
