Welcome welcome to another fine episode of the best, most fun Zelda podcast around! This week, the gang tackle a whole plethora of Daily Debate questions at a rapid fire pace - why don't we think Link's Awakening Switch is as great as DX?

Grab your Game Boy Advances (and bring your link cables too) as we do a deep dive this week into the single most underappreciated Zelda game - Four Swords Adventures!

And then we shift over to the sto...

We're back and kicking off 2020 in a hot way by going nearly an hour and half talking about the supposed back sheep of the Zelda series... Zelda II Adventure of Link! Somehow, we convinced Mases to join us two weeks in a row to deep dive into the second NES Zelda title. What did we love? What do we hate? Is this game as bad as people say?
