Summary

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas - Zelda Dungeon's Best Zelda Ever list is out, and as always, we're breaking it down game by game, entry by entry to see what we agreed with, disagreed with, were shocked by, and what pleasantly surprised us! The biggest questions this year were what kind of impact Tears of the Kingdom would have on the list, and if it could possibly dethrone Ocarina of Time as the list's champion after a dominant five year stretch! Plus, how does Breath of the Wild fare now that its sequel is out and has made it arguably obsolete? Plus, Andy reflects on his time as Editor-in-Chief, putting together the first couple BZE lists and how the standings have evolved over the years! Make sure you're checking out the list for yourself here! Just a friendly FYI - THERE'S NO EPISODE NEXT WEEK, since, you know, Christmas, but we'll be back on January 1st to kick off 2024 in style! From everyone at the Zelda Cast and Zelda Dungeon, Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and have a safe New Years!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!

six years of the Zelda cast, five years of virtual theater, and four years of the Omega Metroid podcast,

these bonus shows if you really want to take your Spateri podcasting to the next level.

If that isn't enough, all shows feature a level of interactivity where patrons can weigh in and vote on which topics, shows, and areas we discuss next.
