Pain. Lots and lots of pain. Enjoy.

In case you haven't heard, we're getting a three minute preview of the Nintendo NX on October 20th. Yeah, that's happening. So as is typical with a weekly podcast, massive news is hitting pretty much right after this bad boy is live. Crazy life we live huh? I give you one guess into what our major topic will be next week. One we simply can't ignore! That being said, this week it's Colin (from our old podcast) and Alfred joining Nate to talk about Walkthroughs and story in the Zelda series, specifically what they mean for the fan base at large. We apparently also chose the perfect week to not talk about NX - this may be the first podcast yet to barely breath a mention of it. Apparently that's some sort of omen. When we ignore something, it happens. We need to keep this in mind moving forward. Also for those audio only listeners - we didn't not do episode 20! It's just... well... watch the video version of it and you'll quickly see why we didn't have one last week. Enjoy! You can always submit fan topics and

This week’s ZI Podcast features just Alfred and Nate as we get chance to cover some actual Zelda news, though it leads to discussion that feels as if things are being taken out of context. For those curious, the piece of news I am talking about deals with the official art for Breath of the Wild. We also looked at some comments about the bow and how that applies to Breath of the Wild. This past week we also launched the ZD-i Forums with a giveaway and I personally started a brand new podcast called the NP Podcast, with our first episode covering our five favorite games on each of Nintendo’s platforms. It’s a bit of a different format from this cast, so why not give it a listen/watch? You can always submit fan topics and other various podcast related goodies to podcast@zeldainformer.com. 

I have made a triumphant return to the podcast after a one week hiatus to talk about the lasting legacy of the Wii U and why I am so frustrated with Nintendo's handling (or lack of handling) the NX information train. Our usual cohost Alfred is in the house as well as we are also joined by a brand new staff member at Zelda Informer, Daniel, along with Macintyre from Macintyre Productions. There is some audio flubs with Macintyre's stuff, though I did my best to make it understandable. The first 13 minutes features some low quality audio on his end, but then it magically corrects itself into some higher quality stuff, though I was unable to completely remove all of his background noise. If he's on again, I'll have to talk to him about how to improve that situation - but setting that aside we are highly appreciative of his presence this week. He always has something intelligent to add into any conversation about the Zelda series.
