Episode 421 - Answering Your Zelda-Themed "Would You Rather" Questions!

We've got a fun episode for you all this week! We asked you guys to send us your Zelda themed "Would You Rather" questions. We'll be answering questions like: Would you rather see a remake of the Nintendo DS games with regular controls or get a Four Swords Adventures remake with online multiplayer? Would you rather have every new 3D Zelda take place on Breath of the Wild's map with a linear story line or never see a traditional dungeon again? Would you rather fight a Frox or a Stone Talus in real life? All this and more! Plus! Andy's thoughts on the fan-made Twilight Princess PC port, Dusklight.

Episode 420 - What We Want If An Ocarina of Time Remake Actually Happens!

It's about time for us to join in on some good ol' rumors and speculation! This week we're diving right in to discuss all things Ocarina of Time and what we would want to see from a possible remake! With a topic like this, there's always conversations to be had on improvements and changes; but since the Ocarina remake is still up in the air we'll also be theorizing just what kind of remake we could (potentially) be in for! Would we be looking at a simple resolution upscale from Ocarina of Time 3D? Or would this supposed remake be built from the ground up and feature an entirely re-imagined game? It's impossible to say anything for sure; but that won't stop us from trying! All this, PLUS The Great Deku Tree Lego set discontinuing, the release date announcement for Mineru's Construct Amiibo, and the release date change for the Legend of Zelda movie!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!
