Summary

The "Wild Era" of The Legend of Zelda has redefined the series for over twelve years, ever since the original trailer for Zelda Wii U back in 2014. This week, we're looking back at the high-points and low-points of all things Zelda throughout the Wild Era! We'll be examining the major events that surrounded the games' releases as well as the significant changes that these games brought to the series! There's a lot to cover between all of the things we love about these games and those we wished could've been done differently. In fact, there was so much to discuss that we had to make this a two-part episode! Come hang out with us for part one of our Wild Era Zelda breakdown! All this, PLUS our thoughts on the results of Musical March Madness! For Next Week! Our celebration of the 20th anniversary of Okami begins!
