Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Episode 387 - Answering Your Age of Imprisonment Questions!
Q: What do you think Age of Imprisonment will end with?
