Summary

It's definitely no secret at all that Fire Emblem: Three Houses is taking over the world. Critically acclaimed and criminally addicting, the fellas have been playing so much of it lately we just had to talk about how a Zelda game would work in this style. Joined by Zelda Dungeons' own David Wayne Nystrom, we talk about how S supports might work, weapons triangles, could there be dungeons, what art style this game should be in, what kind of playable units we'd like to see, would we make this a canon game, and if so, where on the timeline does it go? We are breaking it down, so come join! As a bonus, for anyone like us addicted to Fire Emblem, we do a quick spoilercast on Three Houses at the end of the show - which house did we pick, what's up with Byleth, who are we getting hitched to, and more! It's a jam-packed ep that you won't wanna miss!

0:50.7	Yeah, my pleasure. Glad to be here. So we are, we are going to be talking, we're going to be talking a lot about Fire Emblem
0:59.9	today.
1:00.3	And I know that I can hear some people groaning and they're listening to a Zelda podcast.
1:04.8	They want to hear some Zelda stuff.
1:05.8	Luckily for you, we are going to be talking about our ideal Zelda game
1:10.9	and how it would translate into that Fire Emblem style of world or style of gameplay.
1:16.4	And you know what?
1:17.4	Since I think all three of us here are just really in love with the game,
1:21.4	and you know, this game is just taking over Nintendo fans and Twitter and everything like that,
1:26.5	we're going to spend a little bit of time
1:27.6	talking about Fire Emblemen three houses towards the end of the show. So I'll give you guys a warning when we're about to start talking Fire Emblem. And if you're not into Fire Emblem, you're just here for this all the stuff. That's cool. We can, you can sign off there. If not, stick around and we'll talk some three houses because we've all, we've got some pretty strong opinions on it.

1:45.8	we've all played,
1:47.0	between the three of us, we've played every house's story. So it's going to be interesting, I think. And I'm really looking forward to it because I'm like literally addicted to this game. I think I'm on hour 75 of Fire Emblemal of Three Houses right now. So it's been a while since a game has hooked me like this.
