Join us for an intriguing discussion with our guest, Lilly Hyrule, as we explore the fascinating future of the Legend of Zelda franchise.

We delve into the open world concept of Zelda, contrasting the Breath of the Wild with Tis of the Kingdom, and examine the changes in the classic formula over the years. Engage with us in an insightful debate on whether Breath of the Wild is still relevant in the wake of Tears of the Kingdom and hear us ponder over the original idea Shigeru Miyamoto had for the Zelda series.

Our conversation doesn't stop there.

Listen in as we voice our disappointment over the missing underwater mechanics in Breath of the Wild and its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, and the effect it had on completionists who enjoy fully exploring a game before advancing the story. As we venture into the complex world of the Legend of Zelda timeline, we tackle the puzzle that is the current timeline and the implications of Eiji Aonuma's quote. With theories about a new Gerudo child, mentions of other games, and the ever-increasing complexity of the timeline, our discussion is sure to keep you captivated.

Lastly, we delve into the world of consoles, comparing the revolutionary Nintendo Switch with the Steam Deck and reminiscing about the Game Boy. Find out why Breath of the Wild made us purchase a Nintendo Switch and our views on potential upgrades for the hybrid console.

To wrap up, we examine the need for companions and the role of music in the Zelda franchise, hypothesize about the potential return of Hestu's Maracas, and dream about future remakes.
