Welcome to the May Edition of the Zelda Universe Podcast. This month, Connor, Cayden, and Jeff return to discuss a gorgeous rendition of Marin, before visiting Sturgeon on Outset Island, then discussing Echoes of Wisdom’s introductory dungeon. The feature of month concerns the growing size of Zelda’s mainline entries and how Nintendo could still produce…
From the overworld theme filled with allusions to “Zelda’s Lullaby” to the Eldin Temple’s spicy tango and more, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has some of the very best music in the entire franchise. A lot of Echoes of Wisdom’s musical charm stems from its location-based musical cues which borrow from real-world traditions.…
Echoes of Wisdom opens like any other Zelda game ends. Link, wearing a brand new cape, traverses through a typical dungeon. An enemy here, a puzzle there… basic stuff. Then, he enters the boss chamber and faces… Ganon. Princess Zelda is trapped in a crystal, watching the fight unfold. Link triumphs, the Princess escapes, but…
With a Hollywood blockbuster set to hit theaters next year, and having enjoyed unprecedented commercial success through its groundbreaking releases during the Nintendo Switch era, the Legend of Zelda’s future is certainly bright. But it may not be complete for all fans — in particular, those who still yearn for the classic Legend of Zelda…
We’ve reached the end of 2025 and a full year of monthly installments of The Zelda Universe Podcast. Thanks to all of you for hearing our voices as we discuss these memorable aspects of Hyrule and this wonderful franchise. In this month’s installment, Connor, Cayden, and Jared take a look at both characters and enemies…
Slimes are odd creatures —creatures you may not expect to encounter in a vast majority of games. Despite this fact, they happen to be a rather common entry in the lexicon of standard RPG enemies. The Zelda series is, of course, also home to many slimy creatures. You may be already familiar with the Chuchu,…
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was one of the few games that left fans surprised when it was released. It was only the second game in the series to feature Princess Zelda herself as the primary playable character, the first being Zelda’s Adventure which was released back in 1994. The blend of old…
Welcome to the July Edition of the Zelda Universe Podcast. This month, Connor, Jason, and Caitlin reminisce about the musical memories at the ranch before learning a thing or two about sumo wrestling in Twilight Princess and looking at a fruity easter egg in Majora’s Mask. Our featured discussion takes us to the Era of…
The sails are lowered, and the epic speed running journey is complete. The Zeldathon team has knocked it out of the park once again. They have raised over $119,000 USD funds for charity: water during their delightfully entertaining Voyage summer event this year. Many Zelda games were featured of course, including The Wind Waker, Tears…
The glittering seas of Echoes of Wisdom are ruled over by the lilac scaled chief Kushara. Like many of her ancestors (or descendants), she is skilled with the gift of music, strumming the strings of her towering harp and creating delicate music for all. As a child, she practiced her harp as often as she…
Ahoy, Zelda fans! Are you ready to set sail on a speed running adventure for a good cause? Of course you are. Zeldathon is currently hosting their annual speed speed running event to raise funds for charity: water, a humanitarian organization dedicated to providing clean and safe water to everyone. Naturally, Zeldathon has named the…
Echoes of Wisdom has quickly become one of my favorite Zelda games, and its soundtrack has predictably followed suit. It has a cozy feeling of togetherness that I feel much of the series doesn’t always incorporate. Of course that’s not inherently a flaw; I’d consider it a feature in most cases. Link tends to mind…
In the midst of the Switch 2 fanfare Nintendo has quietly made updates on their website, one of them being a tiny piece of fabulous news. Both Echoes of Wisdom and Link’s Awakening for the Switch will receive Switch 2 updates just in time on June 5, 2025 with HDR support. It’s confirmed through the…
The Gerudo is the most distinct and enigmatic of all the tribes to me within the Zelda series. With their warrior way of life, strong designs, and secretive traditions, the Gerudo have progressed far through the series in both appearance and use within the lore. From their first appearance to their latest portrayal, they are…
