I love how Joe and Shannon bring life to the games from my childhood. They do justice for the soundtracks and they’re thoughtful about designs and the placement of music throughout the games. They’ve let me to replay many games and to think about them thoughtfully and to talk with an understanding of the goal of these games. Joe has many previous experiences that I had before when I was younger and i even paralleled with him replaying the games. There were completely new things I had never remembered before. Shannon is completely fresh when she covers her new experiences of the games. Again I really, REALLY love when they go over the music. It’s my favorite part of every episode and I love to hear them break down what each track meant and why they used the instruments. Overall, this podcast is amazing. My brother recommended it years ago and I finally sat down and started listening and I’m hooked. This podcast not only helps me find more joy in playing the legend of Zelda games but helped me through so many tough times as well! Thank you Joe and Shannon!
I absolutely love this podcast and these hosts. Their chemistry is pitch-perfect and they analyze each game so thoughtfully. Joe brings a lot of historical knowledge of the franchise, and Shannon brings incredibly fresh insights. Plus, they both have great radio voices; I could listen to them read a recipe book :) By far my favorite Zelda podcast--actually, just my favorite.
I’m sure it’s because you’re both busy doing really important things, both in and out of your personal lives, but PLEASE hurry back! This is my favorite Legend of Zelda podcast on iTunes, and not for no reason! For those seeking a more general review, Shannon and Joe are two impeccable human beings who analyze all of our favorite Zelda titles in official timeline order, giving each game a deep dive and occasionally (but enjoyably) blundering through their own perspectives on how a game connects to it’s predecessors, it’s following titles, and how it affects the lore of the world Nintendo has developed. Maybe it isn’t for everyone, but I URGE you to jump in, maybe on their coverage of your favorite Zelda title rather than chronological order, and play along with them as they dig into one of humanity’s most beloved adventure game series.
As a big big fan of the Legend of Zelda franchise, I’ve been waiting for content that’s THIS extensive on the games aside from your usual walkthrough videos. So much culture, so many theories coming from all the great questions that are being asked from Shannon and Joe. I binged through the entire podcast playlist and would love to hear more from the pair - whom have an absolutely DELIGHTFUL DYNAMIC. I’ll be patiently waiting for more from the two of you. Thank you both for all the cheeky giggles, and thank you even more for all the Zelda lore.
