Bruno Mars once sang: "There's not a thing that I would change, 'Cause you're amazing, Just the way you are" and that's exactly how we feel about these games! Aaron, Tommy, and Mike, who runs the Quest 64 official Twitter account talk about their favorite '"One-Off games" - games that never got a sequel, remake, or remaster (with some exceptions).

Get ready to sheathe the Master Sword and venture around Hyrule, because SuperPod Saga is talking all about the Legend of Zelda series! Aaron and Tommy are joined by Gerry of "Super Ghost Radio" as they go through the timeline of The Legend of Zelda series and get incredibly derailed at every turn!

DISCLAIMER: We had a technical difficulty around the 44 minute mark and we lost a chunk of his audio. This was where we talked about Triforce Heroes, Adventures of Link, Majora's Mask, and Breath of the Wild. Sorry about that.
