Summary

It's time to kick it old school with another entry into our Definitive Ranking series, this time, examining the game that started it all: The Legend of Zelda! We’re going through ten critical categories that make up the ingredients to a Zelda game – world, story, pacing, art style, dungeons, bosses/enemies, items, gameplay, extras, and music – and assigning them each a score to see how the original game stacks up against all of the legendary entries that came after it! Some of the scores will be no-brainers, while others might leave you scratching your head, so come along and play with us, and of course, be sure to share what you think! All this, PLUS a little movie talk, our favorite NES titles and more! Come hang out with us!   Download!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!

With brand new episodes every month, the Spiteri's Review is a peak in what life is like Spateri household, and you never know when Linker Zora will make a surprise appearance. We've even got older shows in the vault that will be rolled out over the next few months, including reviews on Mean Girls, Twilight, Spirited Away, Cowboy Beebop, and more.
