S3E07: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time -or- Time to Kyl

It’s music to our ears as RiriYells returns with fellow Twitch streamer KylTheSheikah to join Mike and Jaymo in Hyrule as they play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64, 1998) as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!

In this episode, we find Hyrule’s hidden Arwings, discuss the highs and lows of Z-targeting, the coming-of-age moments spurred by the Great Fairies, and why Ocarina of Time is considered a milestone in puzzle-adventure games. We even get to know our panelists better in a lore-licious game of "Ocarina of Timeshare", and we end by ranking all 6 Zelda games covered in the show so far. Is Ocarina truly an all-timer? Come along and find out!
