- The best Zelda Podcast available!!
I have been listening to this podcast for a number of years and it’s now just a part of my routine when playing Zelda games. The series takes each game and week by week they complete the next section of the game (usually over world, side quests and dungeon).

Did you know you can fit approximately 221 Rhode Islands in Texas? Hello from the smallest state in the country to the largest one in the lower 48! During the many hours maintaining a home with a couple kids and a guard dog who defines "bark is worse than her bite", your podcast has been keeping me company for a few years now. So much so, that yours is the first I’ve ever rated (5 Stars, of course). Personal lives aside, your show’s love and analysis of Zelda, brotherly dynamic, whiskey bits, an... more
