I started listening since the BOTW season and haven’t stopped since, even re-listening to it when I get the time to.
The way the hosts deep dive into literall... more

Australia2 months ago - From Rhode Island with Love
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

United States2 months ago - an achievement
what Sacred Realms did with their Totk season is nothing short of podcasting perfection.

These guys are great! I’ve been playing through all the Zelda games and found this show at the oracle of seasons season. It really does feel like having Zelda friends lol
Apple Podcasts5danspaintings.comUnited States6 months ago - One of these guys is funny, the other is my brother, and their guests are all stellar
See title! Come for the brotherly banter, stay for guests who are undoubtedly better than the hosts.
