Breath of the Wild brought a surge of new and returning players to Zelda, but it left core fans of the traditional 3D style yearning for another entry in that style. While it seems like the open world style is here to stay...should it? We realized that we...don't care that much! Also, we recorded this right before the Ocarina of Time remake rumors started swirling again, so it's accidentally very timely. Happy 150 episodes!
