I’m a life-long Zelda fan, and have been listening to your podcast since at least 2020 (possibly earlier). Really enjoy the content, and I especially like top-ten favorites episodes. A recent caller on the Skyward Sword Characters episode was asking about controller options for the Nintendo Switch Online 64 games. I had similar difficulties, but found an easy solution that I wanted to suggest. I recommend getting a GameCube controller for the Switch. They’re pretty cheap, just about $20 or so at Walmart. For me, it’s worked pretty well for 64 games on Switch. The control stick has a similar feel to that of the 64-controller. And when playing Ocarina of Time, you can assign weapons to X and Y buttons (which correspond to c-left and c-down). The biggest drawback is using the C-stick to play the ocarina, but I found it manageable with a bit of practice. With minor adjustments, it is similarly compatible with other games. So I wanted to share another option to help others enjoy classic 64 games on the Switch.

Hey guys I love this pod. Don’t listen to anyone who says this pod is bad in any way. My friends always wanted to play Fortnite with me, and now it’s really nice to get back to Zelda. Also I love the music episodes. Zelda music is AWESOME, and Koji Kondo is an amazing composer. I just started Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask, and the first two games I played were Botw and totk. All the games are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite Zelda song is either Song of Storms or Clock Town. Keep it up guys! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

This show is Legend… wait for it… dary. Keep up the awesome work. Love you guys! 💚💚💚💚💚

Please talk about the remake of links awakening, especially make an episode about the amazing music. The music episodes are amazing and please do more. I would also like to see the music of spirit tracks and a link between worlds because of the actual musical instruments playing a link to the past music. This is by far the best Zelda podcast and has made me want to play more of the games.

I still love the podcast. The fact that you are getting so many guests in you episodes amid crazy to me. I am still working on Tears of the Kingdom, I am almost to the end though. I also got the links awakening remake like you suggested.

I started listening to this podcast a couple months ago because I was really enjoying Breath of the Wild and was craving any and all Zelda conversations. I started listening from season 1 and I’m now in the middle of season 3, and I could not be more pleased! Listening to this podcast feels like chatting with friends about one of my favorite things. Not only that, but it has also inspired me to collect and play some of the older games and remakes. Since starting this podcast, I’ve picked up copies of Link’s Awakening DX, Oracle of Ages, and Minish Cap all for the GBA. I also just got a GameCube for Christmas and the Legend of Zelda Collector’s Edition, so I finally just started playing Ocarina for the first time! I don’t have much time to game bc adulting, but I’m very excited to experience this game for the first time, even if it’s only for an hour at a time. Thank you to David and Kate and to the entire roster of wonderful guest hosts for creating and upholding such a positive community and for inspiring me, as a new-ish Zelda fan, to dive deeper into this vast and rich universe! Okay byeeee!!!!

Me and my sister love the legend of Zelda! We got a switch at the beginning of 2023 and every Saturday we would play Mariokart. Then my friend told me about breath of the wild and I thought it looked cool so I got it. Me and my sister quickly became super fans. I have played pressing the wild, Skyward Sword and tears of the kingdom. Breath of the wild is still my favorite. Zelda has been kind of a bonding experience and I LOVE THE YIGA ClAN!!! Love your podcast and may the goddess smile upon you. UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am writing this a while after I wrote the original review but a lot of stuff Zelda related has happened. First of all we have this babysitter named REDACTED who it turns out loves the legend of Zelda! She played Wind Waker as a kid and she saw us playing BOTW one day and was like “I know that!” Anyways,i finished skyward sword and loved it but I can see why some people wouldn’t love it. Another thing is that I played Ocarina of Time it is quite possibly the best video game I’ve ever played (but BOTW is still my favorite). Tears of the kingdom was great,I played a bit of minish cap which was fun,and that same babysitter from before lent us her copy of wind waker (or windy as my sister calls it)and we played a bit of that which was wonderful,I’m only one dungeon away from finishing majoras mask but I love,love love it’s dark themes and deep ideas. Some other game’s I’ve played are Hollow Knight(which I cannot express how much I love),and outer wilds(which is the most beautiful and moving and…existential games I’ve ever played),also some others like Celeste(five stars),dredge(also five stars),and others. I’m asking for Metroid Dread for Christmas and I’ll probably enjoy that. Keep up the AMAZING work and yes, YIGA CLAN FOREVER!!!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚.

I was on YouTube and searched for Zelda podcast, not expecting results, but instead I found the podcast. I’ve been going back and catching up, but I have jumped around some. It’s a good thing to listen to while doing homework and hanging around the house. I shared it with my Uncle, hoping he would enjoy it as much as I do. Keep up the good work guys.

Great listen for Zelda fans , just finished season one! I have been struggling to build the courage to play the the NES Zelda and beating it for years now, another Zelda podcast helped me break that barrier and it’s really fun to play once you understand what’s going on. Thanks!

This podcast is great, I have been listening since early 2019 and Dave and crew always puts out excellent content. I had only beaten Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Ocarina and BOTW when I started listening and this, (and partly Tandem Legends and Zelda (Champion) Cast) inspired me to go back and beat every Zelda game (except CD-i and Tingle games). It took me around 2 years but I did it and I loved the journey and this podcast was along the ride with me the whole way. Hope it can inspire more people to enjoy this amazing series! Also excited to hear new guests and cohosts like Kady to experience more Zelda too!!!! Love AZP!💚💚💚

I found the podcast a few months ago and have been binging it since! I am a fourteen your old in ninth grade and rly couldn’t find anybody to talk about Zelda with and this perfectly fills the urge in my heart to hear people geek out about it and heck make me geek out about it too. All of the hosts r amazing Dan being my personal fav (fav guest host) he is so funny and that Owen Wilson impression of his is 👌. Anyways thank u David and Kate for making my life a little more fun with this podcast Ps. Pls shout me out !!!!!!!!!!!😜😜😜💚💚💚

I’m a hardcore Zelda fan who spends every waking moment learning more about the series! I’ve tried several other podcasts including The ZeldaCast, but you’re my absolute favorite! My first Zelda game was Breath of the Wild (an amazing introduction to the series), but I have since played Tears of the Kingdom, Wind Waker, A Link to the Past, The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Link’s Awakening. I’m going to get Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask soon and can’t wait. Keep up the good work! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 P.S. I’ve always pronounced Hylian the way that you’d say Hyrule (High-lee-in) and I found it interesting how David says it like (Hill-ee-an).

Wow! I never felt like I was truly friends with any other podcast they way I feel with AZP! Always positive, fun content and I am a newer Zelda fan and slowly digging my way through BOTW. QUESTION: at what point in your gaming journey do bosses become fun and not TERRIFYING?? Love you truly! 💚💚💚

Just recently found your podcast and am loving it so far! I’ve been listening to the latest episodes and making my way through the back log as well. Really fun and entertaining podcast with a ton of different Zelda content that I am enjoying immensely. Keep up the good work! 💚💚💚 Okay bye!

I’ve tried a lot of Zelda podcasts, but this is by far the best one. I’m a new Zelda player, so I’ve learned a lot from listening to AZP! Can’t wait to see what you guys do next! 💚

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

A very good podcast

Hello! I finished BOTW a while back. I finally got to listen to the end of game thoughts episode from season 1! It’s interesting hearing your predictions/ suggestions for a sequel now that TOTK has come out. I’m a sure you’re working on an episode about TOTK. Can’t wait! Side note: I can tell David is a midwesterner by the way he ends the podcast. “Alright we’ll get out of here…” then continues to talk. A true midwestern goodbye. We love ya too Dave and watch out for those deer! P.S. I give the pod 5 ⭐️s. I couldn’t get the star rating to work!

Hello! I am 14 years old and I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now. I love everybody on and it’s a great place to listen everything Zelda. I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of a theory on the Internet about who ocarina of Time link married. The theory goes that Link married malon and they pass down epona’s song, which is why link from twilight princess, who is the descendent of ocarina of time link, already knows this song. It’s super interesting and It makes a lot of sense! I love this podcast so much and ever since I started listening to it a couple years ago I’ve loved it! Sorry, this is a long! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Absolutely love this podcast, it is one of my favorites! I discovered AZP awhile ago through The Zelda Cast and have been slowly listening through your back catalog of episodes. Shoutout from another Chicago/Milwaukee area local, I love when occasionally David or Kate mentions something theater related since I work in theater as a costume technician and listen to your podcast while making things in the shop. Zelda in a roundabout way got me into my theater career as well, but that's a story for another time. Keep up the awesome work!

This podcast is awesome! I Found this podcast a few years back and listened to the first three seasons and got lost in some other podcast for a while. Due to the recent release of TotK, I picked up where I left off and have caught up very recently and am anticipating the continuation of season 6! The new voices all over are so much fun to listen to! Keep being the best source for fans of this amazing series! 💚

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past 3 years. Got my first apple product and first thing I wanted to do was leave a positive review for the podcast! Between David’s passion for Zelda and his ability to gather a crew of passionate individuals that make the podcast vibe, it’s always a treat when I see a new episode in the feed. it’s truly a podcast by fans, for fans.

Hey AZP team, I don’t usually review, but I’ve been meaning to for awhile. This is my favorite podcast & I get so excited every time I see a new ep drop. I’ve been playing Zelda since I was a kid (since A Link to the Past) and haven’t stopped since. Thank you guys for all that you do & keeping the Zelda hype alive. Also question if you haven’t been asked before since I’m always wishing I could actually be in Hyrule myself— if you had only 24 hours in BotW/TotK Hyrule what would the schedule look like? Where would you have breakfast & who would you hang out with? Etc etc. No baddies of course because Link has already saved the day. Anyway, so excited for TotK episodes to come! Bye ♥️♥️

I’m 13 and In 2020 I got Covid and my uncle loaned my family his Wii U and it came with breath of the wild my siblings and I would fight over who got to play and then in February 2021 I got long Covid which basically means Covid never left me and my immune system’s still fighting it so my parents got me a Nintendo Switch and once again only played Zelda and then when I tried to return to school I had a lot of free time because I couldn’t do my work so I found this podcast the loz Lorecast and hello Hyrule and it has helped my journey with health problems be a lot more tolerable.

Love this show! David is an incredible and compelling host and I love when he breaks into the technical details of game creation. Kate and all the various co hosts/guests are delightful. Also, thank you David for finally helping me figure out how to beat Guardians in BOTW!! I was avoiding them like the plague because they were so hard. But then on one of the episodes (I can’t remember which one) I heard David say something about “sweep the leg” when he was discussing BOTW and guardians. That made the light bulb go off in my head!!! I immediately grabbed my switch and blew through 3 guardians in no time by “sweeping the legs”!!! Outstanding podcast and truly NOT just another Zelda podcast! This one is special.

I am a 14 year old Zelda fan I sent in a review last year as well and I love the podcast and enjoy listening to most episodes. The show is great and I just started listening to season six & listen while going to bed so I often don’t finish a full episode for 2-4 days so I am occupied with your perfect show almost every night. Keep doing what your doing AZP. And if it wasn’t obvious already, I LOVE the show💚💚💚!

I started listening to the podcast after hearing David on The Zelda Cast and had to instantly follow because the LoZ holds such a sentimental place in my heart. I picked up around season 2 or 3 and after i kept hearing about this Kate person and the “Okay bye “ had to jump back to the beginning, and I’m so glad I did. Love the group you have put together and the amazing views and opinions of all. This is one of my all time favorite podcast and as I sit here typing this I am greatly anticipating season 6. Ok bye for now and thanks for putting out such amazing content.

I normally don’t rate or review podcasts, but after hearing how much the reviews help the show, I couldn’t resist! I first found this show through The Zelda Cast, and when the corresponding episode on this show wasn’t out at the same time, I started to go back through the entire library of AZP. I listen to it when I’m doing crafts or jigsaw puzzles (including a Breath of the Wild scene!), or outside taking walks. After a few months I am finally caught up with all of the episodes. This has been such a fun show to listen to, and I love how friendly everyone is during their conversations. I also love that each episode features listener feedback, and I feel like David and Kate (and all of the other guests) personally care about me and my experience listening to the show! Keep up the great work, and I can’t wait to see what Season 6 has in store! 💚

Dear everyone, I simply adore this podcast! It is so informational and the hosts are so warm and friendly! All the girls are amazing and I love that I can relate to them, being a complete Zelda nerd myself. I love that the podcast is clean and family friendly as I am 12 and the only Zelda addict in my family. P.S. Check out the Legend of Zelda lore cast, another awesome podcast on Apple Podcasts. PP.S I go by Gerudo Girl

You two give me some time to drift back to my childhood. Hope comments like this make you smile like you two do for your listeners ❤️❤️❤️

It was neat to hear David read one of my YouTube comments in the listener feedback part of the show. So I got me an AZP t-shirt! I intend to start wearing it more in crowded public places. Sometimes when I listen to the podcast one of the hosts will share a sentiment that describes the same way I feel. It’s nice to be reminded that there are people out there who like The Legend of Zelda as much as I do. Amazing enthusiasm and dedication!

Hey David and Celeste. Just quit Twitter where I followed, so now commenting here. Great episode on the Hyrule afterlife. What I love is the actual LACK of real answers despite the many “glimpses” of the ‘invisible’ world. Just like in our own world, perhaps we can never know (until after life literally ends) what it holds, even though the lore suggests many things. Just ask any two individuals from our own world from different parts of the planet see what they believe, and hear completely and widely differing thoughts and beliefs… and I think that’s beautiful. One thing you never mentioned… what happens when LINK dies!? I mean… regular old gave mechanics, of course. (Either life is restored when you ‘continue’ where you left off, OR you get the ‘game over,’ screen. Perhaps it is just not for us to know. Love the pod!! Keep up the good work!

I am a new-ish Zelda player and love the podcast and David and Kate’s review are amazing. I like to listen to it as I go to bed. I’m mostly a switch player but I’ve played a few different consoles. THANK YOU FOR THE DEDICATION AND HARD WORK! Kate I will quote you “BYEEEEE” btw if u can pls shout me out as MurfMania

Great hosts with a great perspective on this series with a lot to say. They also have great subjects that they talk about but my favorite are when they talk about a specific game.

I listen to it before I go to bed to help me sleep and it usually works. It’s just nice.

Found this podcast at a perfect time! Been going through a tough time the last month or so and I stumbled across this podcast by accident and have not stopped listening. With everything going on in my life right now I needed something to bring me peace and comfort and this podcast did exactly that. I listen all day at work then when I’m home I listen while I’m cooking or showering basically anytime I get a chance even if it’s only 20 minutes at a time. I’m only on season 3 but it has re-sparked my love for the zelda series and love Learning more about it. I have a theory pertaining to one of season 2 episode I believe episode 23 or 24. Keep up the fantastic work it is much appreciated from this fan!!

I recently finished playing both Twilight Princess and Windwaker and was wanting more from both games. Listening to your episodes on both was really enjoyable, and I’m looking forward to coming back again upon finishing Breath of the Wild.

Hey AZP I love how I can listen to people talk about Zelda that love Zelda just as much as I do and I have never disliked an episode I’m glad Kate is back but I also like David because both of you are amazing and love Zelda just as much as I do IT’S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY

I started getting into your show maybe about a year ago and I love all of the things that this podcast talks about. Some of my favorite episodes are the ones that talk about development of some of the games. I love knowing that information. My next favorite episodes are the quiz episodes. I am pretty knowledgeable about Zelda and would love to participate in one someday. Keep up the good work. 💚💚💚 Ok BYEEEE

I would love it if you would do a Zelda glitches episode ❤️❤️❤️🎮🎮🎮 👾. PS do you know what Kirtan is?

The best zelda podcast ever!!! But we neeeeed more Kate!!,!,,,!,,,,!!!,!!,!!!,!!,!!!!!!!!!

I love this podcast. They make loving Zelda easy no matter how big a fan you are! I’ve been dealing with some panic attacks and anxiety lately, and I’ve been using this podcast to fall asleep to. Thank you so much for making such a fun and approachable podcast. It has been such a comfort to me 😸 -Dani Targo

I’m a lifelong Zelda fan (at least since I could mash buttons on a SNES controller) and this podcast is everything you could want and more. The Zelda series is so under-analyzed in the gaming world and it’s riveting to hear these folks give it the deep dive it deserves! Seriously wish I had been friends with Dave and Kate back in high school - oh the nerdy convos that would’ve been had haha! Listening to this podcast feels pretty close though! Favorite episode by far has been how Majoras Mask deals with grief. My family is going through some hard times and this episode was very cathartic to listen to. I’m a stay at home mom to two boys and I love listening to this podcast while I take care of the daily needs of my family. My toddler has even started to sing along to the title song! Thanks for keeping me and my little guys company on the hard days, fellow LoZ fans!

Can you do a oracle of ages and seasons review?

Awesome podcast. A little late for this but I’m glad that Kate is back(haven’t listened in a while bc I hadnt had the time due to exams and sports) I especially like Dan and hope that you have him on more often. (Ik that you read these so can you please read this on an episode where Dan is on too) Keep up the amazing work!

Hiiiii! I love y’all’s podcast (obvi). It’s kinda funny because I discovered it while doing research for a paper in my media texts class. The paper called for an analysis of whatever podcast we wanted, but I never really listened to podcasts before, so I just looked up “Zelda podcasts” because I love all things Zelda! Y’all’s podcast was the first one to come up, so I randomly listened to the Princess Zelda’s episode David did with Mallory, and I was instantly hooked!!! I ended up writing the paper about the different ways audiences respond to Princess Zelda’s character within Zelda fan culture depending on a range of social and cultural factors, but that’s not important lol. Your podcast is so fun and endearing, and now I listen to it on the regs!!! Keep up the great work you guys💚💚💚

I think that THE silliest weapon is the tree branch from breath of the wild.

I am SO glad I found this podcast!! I love the Legend is Zelda, but I don’t really have people I can geek out over it with. Listening to you guys have friendly conversations about all things Zelda is so fun! 😄 I listen to this at my job all the time, it helps keep me from staring blankly into space. 😂 Thank you guys so much for this GREAT podcast! By the way, my favorite episode is probably the “Breath of the Wild vs Reality”, I absolutely love hiking, and listening to you guys talk about camping in your place in Kentucky (I think it was Kentucky?) was really fun. My only complaint is that Kate isn’t in all the episodes 😂. Overall, it’s awesome!!! Ok, BYEEEE! -Kate, probably ;)

OMG Thank you!! I LOVE Legend of Zelda and I am so happy I found this!! Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!
