## Skyward Sword
After a brief discussion the game play, or at least mechanics of play of Skyward Sword, there is a discussion of Wii Motion plus. Then Walther totally butchers the name of and characters in a most excellent anima. We then move on to Samurai Jack and AR Mario Kart and Zelda in the Mario Kart franchise.

• Samurai Champloo
  • Mugan
  • Jin
• Samurai Jack
• AR Mario Cart
• Top Four Mario Kart Levels

Zelda in 2000's

We cover the three Zelda releases of the 2000's Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess. We start with a discussion of Ocarina of Time, and why Sarah thinks it's half finished game and Majora's Mask is a better game. The use of dream as a adjective confuses Jason, but Sarah and Walther are able to set him straight.

• Cheeto, the Cat
• Ura Zelda
• N64 Disk Drive
• Link's Awakening
  • Wind Fish

What in the middle?

Walther starts off by failing the challenge of naming the three parts of the Triforce. Then the disgusting switches to what is in the middle of the Triforce. But we get back on track talking about Majora's Mask.

• Triforce
  • Power
  • Wisdom
  • Courage
• Majora's Mask
  • Five Stages Of Grief
    • Denile
    • Anger
    • Bargaining
    • Depression
    • Acceptance

Pirates Life For Me

We start raping up the episode by talking about Wind Waker, one of Walther favorit games. Jason gives us a live demonstration as to why this game was so controversial.

• King of the Red Lion
• Game Boy with Wind Waker
• Navi

Is Link a Hot Snacc?

Two more games to go, this time we talk about Twilight Princess, the most Goth of all the Legend of Zelda games. This launches us into brief discussion of unrealistic portrayals of women in video games and a longer discussion about Zelda gender fluidity in Ocarina of Time.

The Best Zelda Game?

Walther asserts that Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda Game, despite its lack of a story. Sarah and Walther put the hard sale on Jason that he needed to play this game. The conversation flows to what makes this game so great, including in huge tracts of land, and how there is not one correct way to play the game. This Zelda is the best, because it lets you do what you want.

• Korok Seeds
• The Map
• Fantasy island
• Breath of the Wild II Trailer
• Hyrule Warriors
  • Trailer One
  • Trailer Two

Zelda's Ugly Smile

Walther asks the question, where we are happy with the end of Breath of the Wild, and what does not line up more with his Fan Fic. Again there is the hard sale to Jason, telling him you can ride a bear. As with all things on the internet the discussion falls into speculations of the future and what does half a second of footage in a trailer mean.

• Link's Hand?
• Blood Moon
