Tough to Listen to
I listened to this podcast randomly (ep 282) because I finally finished TotK and was seeking out all the spoiler content I’d been avoiding. These two both drove me nuts, but especially Andy. He walked all over Al during their conversation. I only listened to about 75% of the episode before I’d had my fill, but there were several times were he cut her off, or responded to her point with “I’m glad you said THAT so I could say THIS!” What really drove me crazy was how obtuse their criticisms of the game were. Like, I have certain things I wish the game did differently, but their complaints seemed to boil down to “I wish they had spelled things out more and used less artful storytelling.” And “I wasn’t paying enough attention to certain plot elements and don’t remember them well now, and that’s the game’s fault, I guess.” I don’t need people to have the same opinions as me. I appreciate the discourse, but they seemed so caught up on small details that they allowed it to not let them see the forest for the trees. It’s boggling to me that Andy is apparently a Metroid fan if he can’t handle stories that don’t fill in every blank for the player. If you’re looking for intelligent or funny conversation on the Zelda franchise because you like things Triple Click or the Besties, this is not going to scratch that itch.

Love the podcast. The topics are fantastic and the dynamic between the hosts are a lot of fun! Their knowledge of the Zelda games always impresses me! The only issue I have is that Allison’s volume is way too low. I listen to this podcast mostly during my commute and once I hit the highway, I can...Read full review »

Why is everyone saying; “#Hand-Of-Time”? It’s a sage. stop using that prototype please. • I love the the idea of this podcast! But I’m pretty sad you won’t put Din and Rishian from Z-talk into a episode! I also like how you talk so much about botw 2! But…. ...Read full review »
