It took a little bit longer than we expected, but we managed to finish a new episode of the ZUCast, just for you!
We got a little carried away this time around, so this is our longest episode ever! Unfortunately, because there was so much to edit, post-production took extra time, so some of the time-sensitive stuff, particularly within the Community News, may be a tad out of date. Our sincerest apologies! *bows*
Now that the “bad” news is out of the way, let’s talk about what amazing stuff you can expect to hear in this feature-length episode! The highlight for me, as the Original Raving ZUCast Fanperson™, is a special, ~20-minute segment on the current state of Zelda Theorizing by ZUBC alumni and veteran Theorists Hombre de Mundo and Humulos! There are also two segments relating to the music of the Legend of Zelda series, which I can totally get behind; a new segment highlighting some of the latest content on Zelda Universe and its various media outlets; an epic roundtable discussion/debate about one of my favorite Zelda games, Twilight Princess; and of course, some ZU Community News…from, er, the first half of November…!
So we hope you’ll sit down and enjoy another fabulous episode of the ZUCast while you Super Smash it up! Happy listening!

Okay, so I know you’re busy beating up gaming’s finest in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but we’d really appreciate it if you were to put down your JoyCon for a few minutes to let us know what you thought of what you heard here! You can leave us feedback directly at podcast@zeldauniverse.net, or on our Facebook or Twitter, @ZeldaUniverse. Audio feedback is also welcome!
We’re celebrating Ocarina of Time‘s 20th anniversary in the next episode! Sure, it’s a little late, but…it’s Ocarina of Time, so can you really complain?
