Summary

Despite nabbing the Most Anticipated Game award, Tears of the Kingdom was a no-show at this years Game Awards, continuing the bizarre, frustrating, and perplexing pre-release cycle the sequel to Breath of the Wild has been on since its reveal, capping off what may go down as the worst year for The Legend of Zelda in the modern era. If you think that's dramatic, come listen to Andy and Al explain why they hold that opinion, and debate on whether Nintendo's arrogance is showing. On the plus side, the gang review the actual Game Awards show, which all things considered, was pretty good. We talk Earthblade, Hades, Death Stranding 2, the Super Mario Bros. Movie, Crime Boss, and so much more! This episode might not be for the faint of heart, but it's still a fun time! PLUS, come and ask us a question for next weeks show and you could hear it answered!   Follow The Zelda Cast!
