The Champions' Cast - Zelda Dungeon Podcast

Taylor is out sick this week, so we had to push back our Wind Waker spectacle, but never fear! In his place is some Zelda Dungeon royalty: Copy Editing Legend Alasyn Eletha and the big cheese himself, Mases Hagopian! This week, the crew embrace the user generate Daily Debates to answer some pretty heavy hitting questions: Which Zelda game has the best ending? Do the graphical styles influence our initial opinions? Which game is the hardest? Could we ever see that fabled third Oracle game? Would anyone buy a CD-I Zelda collection? What would Link's finishing move in wrestling be?? We had an absolute blast this week and got pretty in-depth, and there's even some Angelfire love! Come and laugh with us!

Andy and Taylor are back to cover a wide variety of different fans questions. On the table is Link's Reawakening, our thoughts on Lana from Hyrule Warriors, which Nintendo 64 game needs a sequel, Horizon: Zero Dawn impressions, and... what each Zelda race smells like?? It's another episode full of fun and shenanigans, and just because it's Taylor's birthday, Andy doesn't make fun of Young Link... that much! Listen here, and get ready for next week as Andy finally makes Taylor explain why he hates The Wind Waker! You won't wanna miss that!

With the New Year fully underway, Andy and Taylor delve into the nitty gritty of prior mistakes, controversial Nintendo statements, and a sort of 2019 wish list for the Champion's. Taking inspiration from some other games, the boys discuss what Zelda games might look like if they weren't action adventure titles. Not only that, but Nintendo made a statement recently that has the community all stirred up. Addressing those concerns, Andy and Taylor share their thoughts on what it might mean for the future of Nintendo consoles. What would one of these episodes be without some wild speculation? We've got all this and more on the latest episode of the Champions' Cast!

Happy New Year everybody! We're hitting you with our final episode of 2018 recapping the year that was in everything Zelda! Andy, Taylor, and Kat reminisce about those Skyward Sword HD rumors, the Netflix Zelda anime that never happened, the Zelda Encyclopedia, and more! Of course, we also get juicy and dive into some booold predictions for The Legend of Zelda in 2019! All this, plus Andy and Taylor give their games of the year picks, we reflect on the state of the Switch in 2018, and argue about Smash Bros. (because what kind of episode would this be if we didn't?)! This week's episode is a little bit of a rougher cut compared to our usual polished shows (stop laughing), but hey, it's New Year's Eve and we have plans (read: we wanna play Ultimate until midnight!).  Enjoy and have a fun and safe New Years! We'll see everybody in 2019! Follow the Champions’ Cast on Twitter: Andy Spiteri – @Spiteri316 Taylor Wells – @GIF_Bluehawk Kat Vadam – @Esganikan 

Merry Christmas everyone! It's the second part of a two part epic as Andy and Taylor finish assigning grades to every single fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! Picking up where we left off, we rank from C+ all the way to our select few A+ fighters! Join us in our longest episode ever yet as we dive deep into the top half of the roster! From both of us, thank you for the amazing support this year and we wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

WE'VE GOT A FEVER, and the only prescription is more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! This week, it's PART ONE of a two part doozey to get you through the Christmas holidays - grading EVERY SINGLE FIGHTER in Smash Ultimate. Now, this is not as easy as it sounds, especially when it comes to averaging out two very different perspectives on what makes a good Smash fighter, so you won't wanna miss how this shakes out! Which of Andy's favorite characters did Taylor give an F grade to? How many times can Andy say Young Link sucks before Taylor loses it? Who is their consensus pick for the worst newcomer in Ultimate? It's all here and more!

It's finally here! Super Smaaaash Broooss!! This week, Taylor and I take a deep dive to give our reactions to Ultimate - how do we like it so far? Is Spirit Mode cooler than it seemed at first? Who is our favorite newcomer? Does the revamped Classic mode hold up? Is Taylor the only one in the world who actually likes Young Link? Is Andy really going off on Kirby again? We also take time to talk a little God of War, Celeste, Persona, and Mortal Kombat, give our reactions to the Game Awards, talk about some cool new Zelda-like games shown off this week, and spitball ideas who the next crazy DLC fighter could be. Don't miss out!

Andy and Taylor are back in action, joined this week by Zelda Dungeon's own Skyward Sword fanatic, Alasyn Eletha to talk... what else, ALL THOSE RUMORS swirling around Skyward Sword! Will they, won't they? How would motion controls work? What other quality of life improvements could Nintendo make? Can flying not suck in the remake? All this, PLUS we talk Groose in Smash, our impressions of Pokemon Let's Go, what we want to see out of the Game Awards, Darksiders III and it's critical bombing, and more! Make this an episode you don't miss!

What do you get when Andy, Kat, Gooey, and Kevin walk into a bar? Nobody knows for sure, but if I had to bet, it would sound something like The Champions' Cast Episide 35! Taylor is away this week, so Andy recruited some of Zelda Dungeon's finest to bring you the hardest hitting Zelda and Super Smash Bros. questions! What's the deal with how Nintendo defines echo fighters? Who's the "best Zelda girl"? Which character has no shot of making the Smash roster, but we make a pitch for anyways? How the heck do you pronounce Sahasrahla anyways?? And who decided to scrap Zelda III?? It's all here and more! Join the fun and have some laughs with the gang!

After two decades of awesomeness, Andy, Taylor and Kat discuss all things Ocarina of Time in this week's episode. Andy shares some beautiful moments about his discovery of games as art, Taylor gets deep with some learned life lessons and Kat let's us all know why Zelda is a badass. That's not all though, as the Champions' relive some of the revolutions in gaming introduced by Ocarina and reminisce about how fresh its take on music was. Ultimately, the Champions' have a great time celebrating this year's greatest Zelda ever!

The lads are back and covering a lot of different ground this week! We touch on the fallout from last weeks show and talk entitlement vs reasonable expectations, we cover the rumor and innuendo about Nintendo hiring "dungeon developers", we walk you through Zelda Dungeon's Best Zelda Ever 2018 List, and we throw our hats in the ring predicting Smash Bros's DLC fighters. Did somebody say Master Chief?! It's all here! You won't wanna miss this one!

Welcome back to another episode of The Champions' Cast here on Zelda Dungeon dot net! This week, we have a lot to unpack in a part reaction, part analysis, part tears of agony episode as we discuss all things Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! The final Direct went down and there was no Zelda characters shown off, no Zelda stages shown off, and... a plant. Listen to Andy rant and rave as he cuts promo's on Incineroar, Piranha Plant, Kirby, J-Pop, and people who take pictures of their food - nothing is safe! This will be one you don't wanna miss!

The boys are back to talk about all things Halloween! They put a bow on last weeks mask episode, talk their favorite Halloween games to play, and talk about the creepiest enemies and moments in the Zelda series!

IT'S OUR 30TH EPISODE and we are so happy for all of the support. In appreciation for this milestone, Andy and Taylor deliver their longest episode yet dissecting and grading every mask from Majora's Mask. Listen to hear which ones they love, which ones they hate, and hear their heated debate about the absolute best mask in the game!

This week is for all you artists out there! Andy is out of action this episode, so filling in is Kat Vadam, who teams with Taylor to talk to Joel Seigel, better known by many as Linktober!

Andy is joined this week by the hosts of Zelda Dungeon's Hyrule Compendium and Zelda Warefare series - Gooey Fame and Mases Hagopian - to talk about all things Legend of Zelda. Wind the clock back to the 80's as we talk enemies, speedrunning, items, Breath of the Wild's relation, and why chubby Link is the best Link! Make sure you don't miss this episode!

It's all about amiibo this week on the Cast as the boys talk about the history of amiibo, their favorite ones, and ask why in the world there are so many of the same Link amiibo! (Warnning! Some Bowsette talk may or may not be present as well. Because internet)

In celebration of Zelda Dungeon's themed week, Companion Week, the fellas decide to weigh in their thoughts about every Zelda companion - EVER! From Midna to Fi, Navi to Moosh, we break it down and give you our candid thoughts about some of Link's best - and not so best - companions.

The boys are joined by ZD's own Rod Lloyd to give their reactions to the Nintendo Direct! Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Final Fanasy, Smash, and more! It's one of our best episodes yet!

Andy is joined by Zelda Dungeon friends Kevin O'Rourke and Kat Vadam to open up the ZD Mailbag. We talk Castlevania in Smash, what a mess the timeline is and if it can be saved, our favorite Zelda websites other than ZD, and whether Spirit Tracks is a good game or a good Zelda game.
