Trifriend Heroes: A Legend of Zelda podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Episode 19: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Jk, it wasn’t a final finale after all! 🎉 We’re back to deep dive into Echoes of Wisdom. In this game, Princess Zelda teams up with a floaty friend named Tri to stop rifts from spreading and swallowing up folks all across Hyrule. But it turned out that the actual rifts we fixed were for the friends we made along the way… wait. 

Thanks for listening! 💖 See you next time!

In The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, a burgeoning train engineer must partner up with the ghost of a princess, traveling the land and restoring the spirit tracks that had kept the demon king Malladeus under control, until he was released by a suspicious double-hatted chancellor and an apprentice lokomo who desired more power.

It’s finally time to discuss The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. In this game, a ranch hand named Link is suddenly caught between worlds in a battle for power. He teams up with a guide from another world to free Hyrule from the Twilight, or maybe an even greater power that’s lurking within… 

Next up is Phantom Hourglass, coming March 1st. Thank you for listening and we’ll see you then!💖

Happy new year, y’all! Today we’re discussing The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. In this game, we shrink and shrink and shrink to become teeny tiny little picori-sized Link, sneak around, restore a magical blade to its former glory, and destroy the troublemaking tri-force-seeking demon Vaati. 

Join us February 1st for Twilight Princess! Thank you for listening and we’ll see you then.💖

‘Hoy, small fry! It’s time to talk about The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. In this game, lil’ Link’s birthday takes a turn when his sister gets kidnapped. We set sail from a certain island, where it’s become customary to clothe boys who’ve come of age in the green of the fields just like the Hero of Time wore when he cast out evil all those years ago… but that’s just a legend, right?

Remember to look forward and walk a path of hope, trusting that it will sustain you when darkness comes, and join us January 1st for Minish Cap! Thank you for listening and we’ll see you then. ❤️

This episode, we’re discussing The Legend of Zelda: The Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons. Link is called by the triforce to Holodrum & Labrynna to save Din (Oracle of Seasons) & Nayru (Oracle of Ages). But also to fight Ganon… because it’s an LOZ game. 

Join us December 1st for Wind Waker! Thank you for listening and we’ll see you then.❤️

Spooky season is upon us, and coincidentally we’re talking about a spooky game today: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. In this game, we deeply and authentically experience Link’s existential crisis after the events of Ocarina of Time, as we try to solve the problems of everyone in Termina, up to and including stopping a possessed giant moon from falling and destroying the world, all in three days! 😱

Thank you for listening! ❤️ Join us November 1st for Oracle of Season and Oracle of Ages! Remember to believe in your friends and embrace that belief by forgiving failure!

This time, we’re discussing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We’re joined by a special guest today: our friend Ben!

In this game, Link, the key to saving the world from evil, must courageously travel through time using a magical ocarina, given to him by Princess Zelda, to awaken the sages and defeat the evil Ganondorf. 

Did we have what it takes to learn the saucy bolero of friendship or the patience to watch the Zora king’s scoot animation? Kassem talks Ocarina of Time Randomizer and Ben leads a roundtable of our favorite experiences and places from the game. All this and the usual silly jokes and nostalgia this episode! 

Thank you for listening! ❤️ Join us October 1st for Majora’s Mask!!
