Zelda Informer Podcast

Without any coffee this week, Adam and the gang take on some interesting fan topics and theorize what the mysterious new Symphony Music could be from

On this more somber (and sleepy) episode of the ZeldaInformer Podcast, we get a lesson from GameXplain’s Derrick on the legacy of Satoru Iwata, as well as many other topics. The discussions are on the quieter end, but it was a very informative and thought provoking episode on the idea of a Gaming Legacy. Your cast members for this week are your host Adam (Really wants to be a Cucco for some reason), Chris (Bringing positive vibes Directly…To You), and special guest Derrick (Spends most of the time correcting our idiot of a host). Thank you to everyone who sent in fan topics, emails, theme song submissions, and general words of kindness.

This week’s ZI Podcast team discusses the mysterious Nintendo Playstation prototype, re-visits the Link is Dead theory, and learns some of the things you might need to know to be successful on YouTube. Celebrated video game theorist MattPat from Game Theory is our featured guest this week, and he does his best to bring out the theorist in all of us.  Your cast for this week is Adam, your host as always (but today you can call him “That guy who can’t stop sidetracking”); Jake, the Majora man himself; Chris, our resident Kingdom Hearts fan and optimist; and our special guest for this week, Matthew Patrick of Game Theory.  Thanks to those of you who emailed us your topics, questions, theme cover art (and the one guy who sent us a picture of his pinky, which we apparently asked for?). If you have any of your own topics, theme song ideas, or cover art that you’d like to be a part of the show, feel free to email all of that to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com Thanks again for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the

This week, we're joined by Vinny from VineSauce, as we tackle some fan topics and revisit an often one-sided argument. With a fun conversation about companions vs guides in Zelda, a plethora of bad Sonic impersonations, and fond memories of our childhoods, this episode of the podcast is one worth checking out. Your cast for this week is Adam (Host and standing judge), Caleb (Lawyer by day, Lover by night. For Metroid, he's here to fight), Sarah (The prosecution from the middle of an Oreo), and special guest Vinesauce Vinny (Ace Attorney for Zelda 2 and a self titled Meme Maker).  Thank you to everyone who sent in fan topics, emails, theme song submissions, and general words of kindness. If you have anything you'd like us to see, feel free to send it over to ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com.  Same intro as always (huge thanks to Brandon and Co. for that), and this week's cover art is a piece I quickly put together of Link (yes, I made her a girl) dealing with some glitches of her own. Hope you enjoy the episode;

Totem Time! This week, our weekly podcast takes a look at the recent interviews regarding ​Tri Force Heroes and its lore, as well as some exciting Nintendo demos that were shown off during E3 2015. With tons of laughs and a hearty helping of fan topics, don't be the purple link (too soon?) and miss out on this week's charming episode of the ZI Podcast! Your cast this week is Adam, our host and green link (for his courageous stupidity); Caleb, the lovably cynical red link (don't mention blast ball to him, whatever you do!); Al, our incredibly wise blue link (he wrote an editorial on Tri Force Heroes, you know); and last but not least, Zion, our very own purple link (like ridley, he's purple and ignored by Nintendo).  Thank you to everyone who submitted fan topics and incredibly sweet words of endearment to our email. A huge shoutout to Brandon and Co. for their awesome theme song, as well as Jeesh for the Hero of Time Remix that we're so fond of.  If you have any of your own fan topics, theme song submissions

This week on the ZI Podcast, we tackle the amazingly exciting E3 2015 expo, filled with tons of laughter, tears, anger, and confusion. Since this is a special episode, we decided to do it differently than usual and record it in two parts: One online, and the other with our team that was on the show floor the entire three days. This week's podcast features, for the in person section (part 1): Adam, your host as always; Jeff, the man with the plan; Zion, the man with the cam; and Rodney, the man...with...something (I ran out of rhymes). Your online cast features: Caleb, your temporary host (doing a pretty solid job, might I add); Jake (He's very butt hurt this week, but we still love him); Chris, the optimist (If I had a nickel for every time he cursed...); and Leon (he sounds like solid snake).  As usual you can download this week's podcast in the links above, and subscribe to us on podbean or iTunes.  Got fan art, theme songs, or topics? Make sure to send them our way at zeldainformerpodcast@gmail.com. We're

This week we dive into our predictions about E3 2015 a plethora of fan topics with special guest Octopimp of the abridged series, 50% Off! Hear our predictions on E3 2015 on this early recording episode. Sadly, we missed the news about Hyrule Warriors 3DS due to this episode being recorded on Tuesday (Adam was travelling to LA on Thursday so we had to record this episode in advance), but thanks to the fans, we had some awesome and hilarious discussions. So what're you waiting for? The water's fine on this episode. Your podcast crew this week is: Adam, your lovable host as always (Who's writing this before he races to the airport to catch his flight), Jake (That guy who talks about Majora a lot), Chris (The guy who drives the Wah-mbulance) and special guest, Alex aka Octopimp (Who is neither squid, nor kid, but an octopus).

This week's pod's cast is Adam, your host (He likes things that are bad for him), Jake (Just some guy we found), Caleb (Currently burying Warchamp7 for his opinions), and Warchamp7 (We just like to call him Champ).  Thank you so much to those of you who sent in fan topics this week, and an extra special shoutout to Josh for sending us a gold cartridge copy of NES Zelda and a copy of The Adventure of Link! It's super sweet but we only got it in the mail after we recorded this episode (proper shoutout on next week's episode).  Speaking of which, next week we'll be recording on Tuesday since Adam is traveling on Thursday when we usually record, so please send your fan topics for next week before then. The email to send us fan topics, theme song submissions, cover art, or questions, is (as always) ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com.  Additionally, you can also Tweet discussion topics to us @ZeldaInformer!

This week, we spent an hour with Nick Wozniak, the man behind the art of Yacht Club Games' Shovel Knight!

Your four swords for this week are: Adam (Making fun of Jake, like a jerk), Jake (Will he bring up Majora’s Mask again?), Jeff (He brings the facts), and our special guest, Nick (He makes games you might have played)!  Thanks to everyone who submitted fan topics this week!

This week on the ZI Podcast we talk about why Majora’s Mask isn’t your typical Zelda game, we discuss the possible ways to fix wall puzzles, and we discuss how hammerspace works into the Zelda franchise.

I hope you still enjoy this week’s episode.  Our guest for next week is ​Yacht Club Games (developers of Shovel Kni

In episode 36 of the podcast, we talk with one of Adam’s longstanding idols about some of the burning questions in the Zelda community: What makes Zelda II so terrible? Can you properly mod a Zelda game? And what exactly IS the Nintendo World Championship? This week’s podcast crew seeks these answers and more. But first, your team for this week is Adam, your host as always (Better in post); Caleb, the babe (This was his favorite episode); Jeff, CE Supreme (Making people mad, as always), and our special guest, Mick (SassPirate Mick, check out his new Metal Band EP this fall)!  In addition to the topics mentioned in this week's episode title, we discuss Zelda lore, virtual reality, and RicePirate shares some news fresh from the mysterious cabin (also known ans Sleepy Cabin: Seriously, check it out)! We also have a healthy sized interview with Mick about his work, growing up, and the quality of the content that’s being made online these days, rounding out the discussion by asking Mick what he would do if he was

This week, we discuss the possibility of a Nintendo theme park, which title in the zelda series is the most re-playable, and what RPG elements the series could embrace. Plenty of fan topics, and good discussion all around, despite the audio issues, make this episode fantastic and definitely worth a listen. Your cast for this week is Adam (Embracing the pig inside), Jake (Thinks Konami smells), Jeff (We promise he’s not a robot), Sarah (Her pictures make Adam cry), and Tom (His music videos make Adam cry).

This week, Adam gives his own theories on the hero’s spirit, the gang discusses the idea of the tragedies in between games, and they also discuss the untapped relationships that Link and his female friends have. We start off with some spider talk, and other general nonsense but find out way to a serious conversation towards the end. We also discuss the cultural impacts that are noticeable in each of the installments in the franchise. Adam (your weekly goof of a host) is joined by: Jake, Caleb, and Rozen (prefers going by Daniel) for one of our biggest conversational shifts in tone yet. If you like fan theories for the Zelda universe and are craving a new one then this is the episode for you! The theory on The Hero's Spirit starts at about the hour mark if you want to get right to it. Thanks again to Brandon for that opening theme song and Jeesh for that closing theme!

With Zelda U’s delay still sinking in, Adam leads this week’s spicier than usual cast down a road of fan fiction and debate. We discuss the possible reasons behind Zelda U’s extended dev cycle, possible ideas for Zelda’s 30th anniversary, angrily debate about Smash Bros Ballot characters, and consider the possibility of a Zelda game created by an American studio.
