Would we rather play bombchu bowling or the shooting gallery? Would we rather have to see eve...

Hello and welcome back to another week of your favorite Zelda podcast. This week, we chat about Nintendo's Mini Direct, what games they announced that we're looking forward too, if we were satisfied with all the announcements, and more before shifting our ficus to the 3DS and remembering what a great system it was for Zelda games and for great video games in general! Come hangout with us, and get...

Wow... 100 episodes and two year later... Episode 100 of The Champions' Cast! This won't be a typical episode - there's no Zelda news or a ton of Zelda talk at all really, but a ton of behind the scenes stories and fun times! We reminisce about some of the early days of the show, how it came to be, how the initial team was picked, who green-lit the project and so much more! We have tons of special...

Hey folks! There's not really any Zelda news this week, so we thought we'd play a little game to pass the time! Back by popular demand, it's Guess That Zelda Character! This time, we limited it to 16 (wooo!) yes or no questions to try and figure out the character the other had picked! Come play along with us, and if you're looking for even more fun after the episode is over, go check out Gooey and...

Buckle in get ready for storytime! We explore all the rumors and whispers surrounding what may be the most high profile game Nintendo never made  The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Secrets! Did this game really use a hourglass to control time? What about having different tunics for light and dark? What was this supposed to play like? And then the real meat of the story - testimony from a supposed tran...

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! I just finished playing a solo run of this game for the first time and have lots of thoughts - how is it solo compared to multiplayer? Is it a pain to set up? How does one player control four Link's? And then we shift over to the sto...

So you heard the Champions' Cast hot takes on Twilight Princess last episode... now you can listen to the original episode from Zelda Dungeon's Hyrule Compendium, Mases and Gooey, that inspired our idea last week.

Sidon, Riju, Yunobo, and Teba - what do we want from them in the sequel, what would make them stand out more, and should they be playable chara...

This week, we have a very special show for everyone - a question mailbag episode! We take all of YOUR questions and answer them in a fun back and forth that features a new special guest on the show, Brittany Reginelli! Should Link and Zelda have a kid? What's one mechanic from one Zelda we'd like to see in another? Are classic 2D games dead? Should the new Champions from Breath of the Wild play a...

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? Can a new player realistically enjoy it in 202? And most of...

So... the Game Awards. Yikes. As you no doubt know by now, the Game Awards offered Nintendo fans a whole big steaming plate of nothing, offering three and a half hours worth of content with exactly zero really notable Nintendo announcements. In this weeks sow, we talk about our reactions and how long into the show until we all started drinking (spoiler: not long). All this, plus looking back on th...
