  • Great Podcasts!

    I do not know what all the talk about politics is, but from what I have listened to it has been great!! I would love to hear more Lord Of The Rings (I need to start listening to Middle Earth: The Podcast!). I am guessing you all are Christians? (I mean, Tolkien fans…If you’re not it would be strange.). Any way, great podcasts keep up the great work!

  • Here is my suggestion for guess the Zelda character rules: (updated)

    Guess the Zelda character rules.

    1. Easy mode has 20 questions, normal mode has 16, hard mode has 12 questions and asking questions you already know the answer to counts against you. Finally, forbidden difficulty: 10 questions asking questions you already know the answer to counts against you and clarification questions also count against you.

    2. The guesser does not have internet access to the internet but the question answerer does.

    3. No spin off games. (Tri Force Heroes is not a spin off). (... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 426 - Ocarina of Time Remake Fan Q&A!
Q: Will there be voice acting in the remake?
One host is skeptical it will be voice acted, viewing it as a trailer device, while the other thinks there could be voice acting in key cutscenes, aligning with a cinematic upgrade but not necessarily everywhere.
Episode 426 - Ocarina of Time Remake Fan Q&A!
Q: Do you think combat in the remake will reflect Breath of the Wild's style or stay closer to the original Ocarina of Time?
Combat is expected to stay familiar to 3D Zelda conventions with potential quality-of-life improvements, like item wheels, but not a wholesale shift to Breath of the Wild combat design.
Episode 426 - Ocarina of Time Remake Fan Q&A!
Q: What level of change would be too much for you in the remake?
There isn't a strict line for what would be too much; changes must be good and fit the game, but the hosts are open to substantial changes if they enhance the experience without betraying the original's core identity.
Episode 396 - Age of Imprisonment Q&A - Royal Lineage, Favorite New Characters, and Biggest Missed Story Opportunities
Q: Do you think the song referenced in the extra conversation with Zelda in Age of Imprisonment could be the classic opening of a chest?
The hosts discuss the speculation around a song in the game and agree that it's not likely the chest opening theme, suggesting it might not be fully voice acted and doesn't warrant deep analysis.
Episode 387 - Answering Your Age of Imprisonment Questions!
Q: What would be the worst thing narratively in Age of Imprisonment?
The worst thing would be the introduction of many new characters who have no connection to the established lore and simply die after this game.
