Zelda Informer Podcast

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! We interview him about the game, what it's like working in the kickstarter format, and his thoughts on several topics regarding our favorite Hylian and Shovelin' heroes. 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! If you have any of your own fan topics, theme song submissions, art work, or just fan mail, please send it to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@Gmail.com. We would love to hear from you! Speaking of which, please take a moment and fill out our survey when you get the chance. We've been getting some great feedback, and we want to hear from as many of you as possible.  If you've got a spare five minutes, consider giving it a go! Finally, if you liked this week's banner (first of

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. With plenty of fan topics, this episode had a lot to say with a shorter than usual length. This week’s cast is: your host as always, Adam, joined by Chris (Never stops talking about Ezlo), Caleb (the podcast’s Quiet Contender), Sarah (our self-proclaimed fashion expert), and special guest TopSpinTheFuzzy (We call him Jeph/Jephers). Thank you to those of you who submitted fan topics this week, as well as theme song submissions. If you have any of your own work that you’d like us to feature, please send those to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you all! This episode was a bit on the shorter side, due to Adam very very tired, so he (or I?) apologizes for that in advance. 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). There’s a healthy amount of debate in this episode, as well as a discussion on Nintendo’s Creators Program and more on the Hero’s Spirit theory.  Thank you to everyone who emailed in topics for this week’s episode, as well as Brandon for our awesome opening theme song, and Jeesh for that fantastic outro we use each week! If you have any of your own podcast topics, questions, theme songs, or art, please send those to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com. Also, if you want art, our podcast host (That’s me, Ada

Shaking things up this week is our good pal Sparky The Android, as he joins Adam and the gang for another exciting episode of the podcast. We talk about the variety of outfits in the series and their significance, as well as compare Let’s players to old 90’s advertisements, and Sparky tells us about life in Denver.  Your cast for this week’s episode is your host Adam (butchering the English language as always), Chris (Adam has no idea what he does), Katie (our wonderful Australian writer), and Sparky aka Brett (always a bridesmaid. Because he works it). Thanks to Brandon and Sean for your fan topics this week! If you have any of your own topics, theme song submissions, artwork, or anything that you’d like to send us, email it over to us at ZeldaInformerPodcast@gmail.com.Keep adventuring, Hylians!

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! Don't forget to check out the links below to check out more of everything we discussed in this week's episode. And as always, if you have any o

This week we talk about MicroTransactions, Translation issues in The Adventure of Link, and the merits of going to conventions (We need a ZeldaCon, darn it!).

This week’s podcast include: Myself (Adam), as always; Chris (wants you to git gud or get rekt); Al (Cursin’ up a perfect storm); and Dan Jones (He’s secretly a normal person. Nobody knows).

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. Joining this week’s conversation is Jake (hitting on our guest as usual), Chris (never noticed by senpai), and our special guest, Vernon Shaw of Hot Pepper Gaming (Our resident Fan Fiction writer). Thanks to Brandon for this week’s theme song. If you have any of your own theme songs or topic ideas, feel free to email us at Zeldainformerpodcast@gmail.com.

This week on the ZI Podcast, Adam (Your usual host) is joined by Jake (Just some guy), Caleb (From inside of a coffin), and special guest Triple-Q (He's an artist/remixer on Youtube). Our discussion led us down many paths, from the depth and underlying meanings in Majora's Mask (Adam even defends it at one point! Maybe he's sick?) to what defines a gaming genre and, for that matter, what defines games? With outtakes and a rich conversation, we invite you to join us as we banter and more on Episode 26 of Zelda Informer's best (and only) podcast series!

This week's episode of the ZI Podcast is a long one, but probably the best episode of the podcast yet! (It's all downhill from here...) This week we're joined by none other than Mr. Smooth McGroove himself as we talk about Zelda Villains, Modern Gaming versus Retro Games, as well as hear plenty of stories from Smooth's life. This week on the podcast your host is... (still, sadly) Adam, and he's joined by Jake (He has this embarassing thing to tell you), Chris (Lovable as always), Max (Aka Mr. McGroove, maker of dorky puns), and Charl (He's a cat and was asleep most of this episode, but I felt it was worth mentioning). 

On this week's ZI Podcast Adam (your usual host) is joined by Caleb (back again, hopefully for good), Gwen (one of our Copy Editors), and Special Guest Mei-Xing (You can call her Jessica). This week, we discuss the recently released New Nintendo 3DS XL, RPG elements in Zelda, and much more! Thanks to Husky By the Geek for your Intro and outro theme song, and thank you to Davis, Kyle, Logan, Owen, and Samuel for your fan topics this week! Also, Austin for your in-depth analysis of the lore and reasoning of Link’s appearance in the series. Appreciated the read and the topics you provided this week, they were awesome.

This week we talk about movies, cast our own actors in the new Zelda TV Series! On the cast this week is Adam (As always.), Chris (Results May Vary), Tyler (He writes bad articles a lot), and Jeff (I wonder if he'll be my valentine?). With lots of movie news this week and Majora's Mask 3DS about to be released, this week we took a change of pace and talked about a wider range of nerd culture. Also, Chris confesses his love for Dan Jones and we discuss our plans for Valentines day!

Episode 22 of the ZI Podcast was a troubled one. Audio errors forced us to record an entirely new episode with very little time so this week's is shorter and yet has the same amount of awesome packed into it! This week Adam (your very very sleepy host) is joined by Katie (She's Australian, which is sorta neat) and Rodney (His words are sharp but his attitude is smooth) as we discuss new Zelda merchandise, Pokken Tournament, living in Hyrule and more! If you'd like to be a part of the action, then submit your fan topics, theme song submissions, cover art, and more to zeldainformerpodcast@gmail.com. Thanks again to Ben (aka Husky By The Geek) for the Intro/Outro and to Brandon for writing in on this weeks episode. Also thanks to Logan for the music!

This weeks episode gets a little crazy, as we defend Skyward Sword, talk about Z Targeting, and conquer fan topics like a boss!
