ZUCast – The Zelda Universe Podcast Episode 29: Zelda Through Music
Sitting in the background of every Zelda title in nearly every scene and event is the emotional driver of every action we view or take; a vital component of what motivates us on our adventures regardless of whether we are aware of it. The musical tunes of the Zelda franchise has been with us from the moment we turned on the very first game, and continue to inspire us in our gameplay, our creative works, and in our everyday lives. Today, we look at those Zelda pieces that have meant the most to us, how that music is used, and in a measure, why.

It's official! The Legend of Zelda is finally coming to the big screen. Though the movie itself is likely months, or even years away, that's not going to stop us from discussing, predicting, and sweating over what is likely to come.

ZUCast: The Zelda Universe Podcast Episode 26: Zelda Monsters in Real Life
Happy Halloween! In a time where the spooky and the dangerous are celebrated, we turn our attention away from the heroes and villains that dominate the Zelda story and focus more on the legions of baddies that haunt our every step. By the time we've slain our thousandth keese, they seem pretty uneventful, but what would happen if they were in our world? Could you handle swarms of chuchus? What about a Gohma? Today, our Zelda experts look at what it would mean if Zelda monsters were a part of our real lives.

ZUCast: The Zelda Universe Podcast Episode 25: Tears of the Kingdom Plot and Timeline
A happy end of August to you all and happy returns to ZUCast! Our focus on "Tears of the Kingdom" continues with a stronger focus on how its story relates to our other adventures in Hyrule. Our first segment looks at how well the game fulfilled its role as a true "sequel" to a previous Zelda game, while the second looks at its overall placement in the Zelda Timeline. A lot of questions to be asked, and a lot answers that may or may not be given (or make sense). We'd love to hear your theories. SPOILER WARNING: Major and minor gameplay and plot details for "Tears of the Kingdom" are discussed and referenced throughout this episode. Podcast hosts: Connor and Amanda Welcome: How was "Tears of the Kingdom's" Story? 0:00 - 10:52 Segment 1: How well did "Tears of the Kingdom" carry over from "Breath of the Wild?" - Jory and Jason 10:52 - 31:08 Segment 1 Follow-up 31:09 - 43:39 Segment 2: The State of the Zelda Timeline - Mary and Elias 43:40 - 1:04:42 Segment 2 Follow-Up 1:04:43 - 1:17:19 If you found us through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or another podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda– and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more.

ZUCast Episode 24: Tears of the Kingdom Gameplay Roundtable
Happy Tears of the Kingdom release! With the game just reaching a month's time in our hands we wanted to discuss what we've enjoyed about the game and what fascinating directions it has taken our adventures. Instead of breaking it up into specific segments and hosts, our contributors instead gathered around our mics for a roundtable discussion. We specifically avoided all plot-relevant discussions, so no spoilers beyond the most general locations and activities you can expect in this game. Participants - Connor, Cody, Elias, Josh Howdy! 0:00 - 3:44 What's it like returning to this Hyrule? 3:45 - 10:07 What general area have you enjoyed exploring the most? 10:08 - 18:31 "Hand"-y new abilities 18:32 - 19:57 A side discussion about death and dying 19:58 - 23:10 Fusion 23:11 - 27:10 Ultrahand and Ridiculous Builds 27:11 - 33:07 Puzzles and Encounters 33:08 - 39:00 Recall 39:01 - 42:32 Ascend 42:33 - 45:27 Exploration 45:28 - 48:36 Shrines 48:37 - 51:16 Thanks for Listening! 51:17 - 53:02 If you found us through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or another podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda– and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more.

ZUCast 23: Links Across Multiple Games
Welcome back to ZUCast! Now back and ready for a new format filled with discussions, banter, and plenty of opinions. We're happy to have you along with us. With this setup we're going to dive into themes and topics that will look at the Zelda franchise in new and interesting angles; creating a forum for our hosts to explore new facets of Hyrule. Each episode will surround a theme, with the segments exploring a question based on that theme. Our segment hosts will discuss and debate while the podcast hosts will tie them all together. Our first foray into this adventure involves multiple adventures. Specifically the times our fearless hero gets himself a sequel. Not every Link simply rides off into the sunset after his adventure is over, and what Nintendo does with those second installments is something we hope to explore. Hosts - Connor and Zach Segment 1: What would you add to Phantom Hourglass to make it feel more like Wind Waker? - Jory and Joshua 6:35 - 23:56 Segment 2: Which single adventure Link deserves another adventure? - Amanda and Elias 36:57 - 53:14 If you found us through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or another podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda– and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more.

ZUCast XX: Celebrating What Was, What Could Have Been, and What Could Still Be!
Hey, Zelda fans! 2021 has been a rough year for many of you—this has been, like, the longest year for me—and the general lack of Zelda stuff has not made it any easier. Hopefully, the five episodes we put out before this one this year have made it just a little bit more tolerable! If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda- and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community! This is actually our twentieth episode since we returned from the dead in 2018! While I had wanted to do a little more for it than what we ended up doing, I did get to co-host this episode with my friend and yours, Elias Thompson, and had a great time doing it. Plus, we have a slate of thought-provoking content, including the return of a segment that we haven't had in a while, as well as a guest segment from former Zelda Universe and Zelda Wiki "tech guy" Justin! So, without further ado, here's the rundown for this episode: Zelda History, Part 6: 2011-2015 Presented by Shona 0:05:49-0:15:46 Hey Listen!: Reflecting on the 35th Anniversary Presented by Brian 0:21:36-0:29:53 An Introduction to Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland Presented by Justin Folvarcik, former ZU DevOps head 0:33:25-0:43:50 What If Zelda Was…an Unpacking Game?

I Crapped My Pants (Bloopers) 1:06:58-1:11:09 Zelda Universe also has a presence on Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok (@ZeldaUniverse), and Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch (@ZeldaUniverseTV). We also have a website, zeldauniverse.net, which is older than any of those social media sites. You can leave feedback about the ZUCast on said social media sites, in our email inbox at podcast@zeldauniverse.net, or on the Zelda Universe Forums, which again, has been around longer than those social media sites. We're old, is what I think I'm getting at. With the Breath of the Wild sequel (probably) out next year, you can look forward to some particularly awesome episodes from us coming in the near future! As to what else awaits all of us, only time will tell. In the meantime, thanks to all of you for sticking with us for all this time, whether you started with our first episode in 2018 or this one! Happy new year! Special thanks to Joshua Lindquist for putting together the static graphics for this episode!

ZUCast: The Zelda Universe Podcast
ZUCast 19: When Life Happens, We Still Make Podcasts!
Good news, everyone! The ZUBC is still alive! We've been away for a bit on account of I started my career back in August like an adult, but we're back in the nick of time or something or whatever. Anyway, cue the shenanigans! If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda- and Nintendo-related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community! You waited with bated breath for the next installment of ZUCast, and we're here to deliver. We've got Amanda and Cody back in the studio-we-definitely-have to host this shindig, plus the fifth part of Shona's Zelda History retrospective, a Piece of Heart-warming ode to the online Zelda community, a nostalgic look back at Cody's shovel% run at Oracle of Ages during this year's ZUthon charity event, a Dreadful picture of what a Zelda Metroidvania could look like, and of course, your absolute favorite part of every episode, the credits! It's a short but fun-dense episode, and in case you don't like reading paragraphs, here's the rundown in list form: Zelda History, Part 5: 2006-2010 Presented by Shona 02:46-12:30Piece of Heart: ZUthon and Community Presented by Connor 14:35-22:09What If Zelda Was…a Metroidvania?

We also have a website, zeldauniverse.net, where this all began. You can leave feedback about the ZUCast on our social media, in our email inbox at podcast@zeldauniverse.net, or on the Zelda Universe Forums. "Please do not swear." We're already putting together our 20th episode! So far, I can promise some new and long-lost voices! As for anything else, you'll just have to wait. You're very good at waiting.
