The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 13: The Zelda Spectacular

In this episode, we spend a little time talking about the games we’re playing, like Scarlet Nexus, Super Metroid, Pikmin 3, MLB: The Show 21, and Lenna’s Inception, before we do a deep dive into The Legend of Zelda series. We talk about what makes a Zelda game so Zelda-like: Is it the puzzles? The exploration? The characters? The combat? We debate who the best NPCs in the series are (obviously, it’s Tingle) and what to make of the franchise’s convoluted timeline (or, really, timelines). We dip in and out of a lot of different games, including The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, Ocarina of Time, The Minish Cap, Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and more. We wrap up by recommending some of the best Zelda-like games that aren’t part of the Zelda franchise, including Minit, Okami, Hyper Light Drifter, Blossom Tales, and Darksiders.
