Summary

Put your fighting gloves on 'cause it's time to pick your side in the Zelda Dungeon Civil War! With Best Zelda Ever 2019 coming this week, Andy, Alasyn, and Rod reflect on the most divisive Zelda game ever: Skyward Sword. You either love it or you hate it, and we examine why that is. Does Demise undermine Ganon? Were the controls really that bad? Is Fi the best or worst companion? Where do we fall on narrative vs exploration? These questions are just the tip of the iceberg! I think this is one of the best episodes ever of The Champions' Cast, so give it a listen and let us know where you fall!

1:56.2	Of course, in years past, we have taken kind of a poll of all of the different editors and writers at Zelda Dungeon,
2:03.4	and we asked them to rank all of their favorite Zelda games from their least favorite to their favorite,
