Hello and welcome to episode 135 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the horizon, we wanted to talk about the big elephant in the room for Zelda games - the story. We're debating if story is actually important and needed in Zelda games. With the timeline a work in progress (putting it nicely!) and Nintendo refusing to officially acknowledge or put any importance on the story, should fans care? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we talk about our impressions playing Astro Bot which has taken the world by storm! We discuss how Nintendo might be feeling with PlayStation making a game that feels like a Nintendo game. Does Nintendo care? Are they panicking about Sony copying them? We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors. Do we think there's any truth to the system potentially getting revealed soon or are we getting a bit tired of all this? All this and more is coming right up.
