Iron Boots Deep Dive

After a busy 2 weeks and over a year since the last one, we decide to cover the 3rd episode of the 1989 Legend of Zelda Cartoon, "The White Knight". All of the characters are just plain rude to each other but we learn about getting our hands dirty. Also we recount our C2E2 experience. ko-fi.com/ironbootsdeepdive Send us an email at ironbootsdeepdive@gmail.com Twitter - @IronBootsDive Cre...

Zelda is known for having a bunch of really strange and weird characters. Join us as we determine who to crown the ultimate weirdo! ko-fi.com/ironbootsdeepdive Send us an email at ironbootsdeepdive@gmail.com Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns - Music Support the show

Transcending history...and the world! A tale of Souls and Swords. We take the deep dive into Soul Calibur 2 specifically because Link is a playable character in this game. We all bought this game as impressionable youths souly because Link was in it. We explore how the lore is nonsensical, Soul Edge has the power to do whatever the plot requires, and the parallels between the Soul Calibur franchis...

We're back with our second trivia challenge. Three know-it-alls compete to see who the biggest Wind Waker know-it-all is. Did one of us try too hard and get up at 5:30 AM the day of to study for this contest? You better believe it! Our next episode will cover Soul Caliber 2 for the GameCube. ko-fi.com/ironbootsdeepdive Send us an email at ironbootsdeepdive@gmail.com Twitter - @IronBootsDive C...

We've finally reached the end of our Wind Waker journey. We explore the rest of the islands, find all the triforce pieces, and defeat Ganondorf, but this time his motives seem much more relatable than normal. Also one of us keeps discovering things that would have made their game much easier. ko-fi.com/ironbootsdeepdive Send us an email at ironbootsdeepdive@gmail.com Twitter - @IronBootsDive...

We return to 3rd part of our Wind Waker series. We get into spirited discussions about Zelda not being as cool as Tetra, why did Zoras evolve into birds, and why the Earth Temple and Wind Temple naming conventions don't make any sense. ko-fi.com/ironbootsdeepdive Send us an email at ironbootsdeepdive@gmail.com Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns - Music Support the show

We continue our adventure across The Great Sea. We sail the cursed sea, get a bunch of bombs way sooner than we realize, and debate whether the Tower of the Gods is an Island or a Buoy. ko-fi.com/ironbootsdeepdive Send us an email at ironbootsdeepdive@gmail.com Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns - Music Support the show

Time for our biggest dive yet! You know, because of all the water! Right?! Guys?! We dive into Wind Waker and talk about all the fun sailing, Tetra who is definitely only a pirate captain and nobody else, and the differences between the GameCube and Wii U HD release. When will Nintendo finally port this to the Switch or maybe more likely the Switch 2 (whatever they end up calling that)? ko-fi.com/...

We've entered the uncharted waters of fan made Zelda games. We found an actual N64 cartridge for The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link, a fan made game using N64 assets made in 2020. Also, 2 months after our Oracle of Ages deep dive, Alex gives his mini review of the game. If you want to watch the video we were using for the walkthrough, click here ! Next episode's game will be the start...

We take the deep dive into The Legend of Zelda: Red Version. It's definitely Pokemon this time, there's an Onyx and a Venomoth or as the game tells you Onox and Mothula but we can read between the lines that Capcom wrote. We have a rod that changes the seasons and this game is way more focused on combat than the last one. Plus we finish the true linked ending you can only beat if you bea...

The Game Awards are upon us and as Zelda fanatics we're thrilled that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been nominated for awards in 5 different categories. Also big news! Nintendo has announced a Legend of Zelda movie and we try not to get too excited about it. This also might be an excuse for Justin to talk way too much about Alan Wake 2 and his obsession with it. ko-fi.com/iron...

Horsegirl fever has taken over the podcast as we rank all the horses, mounts, vehicles, etc. in "Tiers" of the Kingdom. If Link can ride it, we rank it! Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns - Music Support the show

The Legend of Zelda franchise pulled a Pokemon and released 2 versions of a game for the GameBoy at the same time and they're Red and Blue. We tackled The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (The Blue Version). We use a harp to travel back in time further than ever before, but we still can't go to the future.

We've been talking about doing this for 3 episodes straight. It's our highly anticipated Majora's Mask Theories spectacular. We cover all the crazy stuff fans have been all over since the game came out 23 years ago. We cover the 5 stages of grief, what is the moon, and who is Ben and why did he drown? Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns - Music Support the show

We've reached the final day, we're finally going to stop the moon from crashing into Termina. This final part of the Majora's Mask series are booking it to finish 2 temples, the Moon, and Zelda's biggest and most infamous side quest.

Uh oh Alex disappeared and we couldn't finish Majora's Mask. Whoops! To fill in until Alex returns, Justin's sister Megan joins him to talk about all the ridiculous ads for various Legend of Zelda videogames and see the evolution of how this franchise was marketed towards the players. The long list of ad links Legend of Zelda NES rap Legend of Zelda NES #2 Zelda II NES Japanese Link...

We've gone back in time 3 days in order to beat Snowhead Temple and a boatload of sidequests. We were going to do Great Bay Temple but somebody got a little too sleepy to talk about it. Whoops, guess we'll just have to get that on the next 3 day cycle. Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns - Music Song of Time performed by AJ Support the show

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's.. the moon crashing down upon us?! We've met a terrible fate and have to save Termina which is definitely not a reskinned Hyrule from a chaos god. In Part 1 we do the first 3 day cycle, Woodfall Temple, and everything in between. Deku Palace by Theophany as mentioned in the episode Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns...

Join us for a special guest host episode, as Justin is on vacation! Twitter - @IronBootsDive Credit: Marble Pawns - Music Support the show

We're a bunch of obsessive weirdos who act like we know it all when it comes to Legend of Zelda, especially the Ocarina of Time.  Now we'll see how much we really know as Justin puts together a Trivia Challenge to test Zelda knowledge retention to see if we can remember the name of a dog, 3DS song notes, gossip stone factoids  and other niche questions. We're joined this week by Dav...

Seven years have passed and Link has grown up into an adult. Has the passage of time sucked all the childlike wonder away from him like the rest of us? Probably not. We finish Ocarina of Time and defeat Ganondorf in the conclusion of this game! Next Episode will be an Ocarina of Time Trivia Challenge. Next game will be Majora's Mask and can be played on the Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii and Wii...

We've finally arrived at the game hailed as perfect 10/10 by every game reviewer in existence. At least it was in 1998. We're joined by our Zelda noobie friend Evan to see if this N64 classic holds up in 2023. This episode only covers up to Pulling the Master Sword. Part 2 will finish the rest of the game. Ocarina of Time Prog Rock video mentioned during the episode. Next Episode - Finis...

Are we taking advantage of the algorithm that Tears of the Kingdom came out? Maybe? Regardless we rank all of the final bosses from The Legend of Zelda Series. How many people can we frustrate by not ranking their favorites higher? Listen to find out. Next Episode's game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We're specifically going to be covering the child section of the game.   Twit...

After 6 years of waiting, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has finally arrived. This episode we ignore all obligations in our lives to obsessively play this highly anticipated game. Does this game live up to the hype? Is this just $70 Breath of the Wild DLC? How many Koroks did we turn into unwilling astronauts? Tune in to find out all the answers! Next month's game will be The Legen...

In preparation for the Tears of the Kingdom release, the guys go through wild internet speculation about what's going to be in the upcoming game. They come up with their own theories, look at internet theories, and come up with some really nuts stuff that will definitely never happen...probably. This month's game is Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch. Twitter - @Ir...
