Welcome on in to the Nantendo podcast, the best place for speculation, appreciation, condemnation of Nintendo itself.

0:10.2

I'm Wood. It is finally warming up here on the East Coast. The snow is melting. Someone actually used my front path today and rang the doorbell for the first time in a month because everything melted. And Sully has the episode blaring over there. I don't know if you guys heard that. Oh, so hi Sully. Hi, nice. What's going on? How you doing? Good to see you guys. Good to see you too. I'm excited for today, you know why? Why's that? Positivity. Oh, we love positivity. I don't want to do any of that negativity crap. Today is Zelda. We're not always negative, though. No, we're not. But I bite into it too much. And I will complain today. And if at any point I start complaining, you guys have to yell at me and be like... We'll get keep the complaining from you. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you so much.

1:03.6

Deluxe.

1:05.1

Wow.

1:05.6

Okay.

1:05.9

So that, by the way, is an indication of something good, actually, believe it or not.

1:10.5

We got a brand new computer. Yes. No, I didn't hear it. Yeah, we got a brand new computer. If you've been watching these light... Whoa. If you've been watching... And the computer is not working out. No, we got a brand new computer because we kept getting crashes and like the stream.

1:27.7

So it's a full brand new, powerful build, hoping we shouldn't crash.

1:31.8

So we did have to rebuild the stream again, which is a little frustrating because we finally dialed it in.

1:37.9

Didn't have any issues, got everything right.

1:40.3

Pretty much.

1:40.7

And now we've got to have another episode where maybe things will be dialed in.

1:44.6

But hopefully we won't crash.

1:46.1

Hopefully.

1:46.6

That's like the main avoidance. The goal is we just get through a clean episode. That's pretty much it. I'm hoping so. Yeah. And there's a lot of really fun things. We've got to talk about so many fun things today. So the main topic when we get to it is going to be Zelda, which the 40th anniversary, I believe, is on the 21st.

2:03.9

Yes.

2:04.3

Today is the 19th. So it's two days. As far as we know right now, nothing is happening on Nintendo side. There might be like on the day a surprise tweet. It would be awesome. I don't want to get into it too early, but it would be awesome if out of nowhere there's a Zelda 40th direct or there's like, uh, the wind waker HD, Twilight Princess H. something like that. Everybody's Wando or something. Yeah, but it's, you know, last, I think on the 30 fit, I'm already getting into it, but on the 30th, they did the game and watch.

2:34.5

Yeah.

2:35.9

Which I should have brought that in.

2:37.7

Oh, you, yeah, that thing is sick.

2:38.3

It's really cool. So, you know, hopefully, but as of right now, as we sit here, there's nothing. So we're going to speculate things that we would like to see, but also just Zauder in general talk about how we got into Zauder,
