The Zelda Cast

Happy new year! We're kicking off 2026 in style by discussing what we want - and what we expect - from the Zelda series in 2026! A big emphasis on the 40th anniversary of course leads the way, as we want the return of the Zelda Symphony, Zelda All Stars collections, a long overdue localization of a fabled Zelda game, new life for Four Swords Adventures on NSO, Zelda movie casting and trailers, and of course the big one - the announcement of what's next in the form of a new 3D open world Zelda game. All this, PLUS a little recap of our new years, Stranger Things and Heated Rivalry, and so much more!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!

This episode contains spoilers for Age of Imprisonment!! Welcome back for another episode of The Zelda Cast! This week, Andy is off handling Metroid business now that Metroid Prime 4 has released. That leaves Al to play host, and she is joined by the podcast’s Social Media Manager, Jules! We discuss Jules’ overall impression of Age of Imprisonment, as well as answer some thought provoking Daily Debates. Do the comparisons to Zelda game design make us want to play Metroid Prime 4? Should the stable system return in future Zelda games? Is Calamo a response to the “Korok Space Program”? Alasyn and Jules discuss these topics and more, so come hang out!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon! Subscribe to receive the monthly bonus show ‘The Zelda XL featuring Andy and Gooey”!
