Zelda Universe

It's the end of the month and, yes, the ZUCast is back with another lineup of Zelda-related topics and community events amidst dysfunctional interaction between your regular ZUCast personalities. This month we've got debates, reviews and enough Zelda chit-chat to keep you entertained for a while yet. This month: (00:02:18 - 00:16:51) Hombre de Mundo and humulos talk about whether or not Ganondorf should be the main villain in the upcoming Skyward Sword. (00:21:29 - 00:26:36) Rosco Rhodes presents the latest community news. (00:28:54 - 00:36:59) Ezlospirit reviews the different overworld themes throughout the Legend of Zelda series. (00:39:48 - 00:41:56) Acknowledgment to those who spend too much time on the internet (ie credits). (00:41:57 - 00:43:09) Blooper time. Subscribe to us on iTunes, and tell us what you think at zubc [at] zeldauniverse.net. You can also find us on Zelda Universe's forums here. See you next time!

As promised in the past podcast, the ZUCast are releasing a special roundtable discussion about the Legend of Zelda's 25 anniversary. A tad late, yes, but here regardless because a promise is a promise. While ZU continues to party like it's 1999, Hombre de Mundo, humulos and ZU forum administrator SuperDecimal take a moment to look back at the series that has sparked so many feelings for gamers all over the world for 25 years. Take a listen and be sure to tell us your thoughts on what you hear! Disclaimer: due to the general delay of the podcast this edition of the Roundtable was recorded when the GDC trailer for SS was not released and OoT 3D's Master Quest was still unknown, so any and all opinions on SS and OoT may not represent the participants' current views on those titles.

A few days late, but hey, the ZUCast is here, regardless. This episode is filled with celebrations for significant dates (like 10 years for ZU!) relevant to us all (like 25 years of Zelda!), and even birthdays that only a certain group of people will give a damn about (ZUBC is three years old!). We have webmasters, super moderators, guest segments and, as always, the regular personalities of the ZUCast that you (hopefully) have come to love: 00:04:39 - 00:15:19: With the help of webmaster Jason and former webmaster Lozzie, Mattocks celebrates 10 years of Zelda Universe, talking about ZU's origins, where it is now and where it's headed in the future. 00:15:21 - 00:20:42: Continuing the 10-year celebration, Super Moderator Radek sits down with Liah and Avalanchemike to discuss the ZU forum community in the last decade. 00:20:42 - 00:25:03: No longer a leper, Rosco Rhodes is back with the latest forum community news. 00:28:35 - 00:32:36: ZU member Professor Funderwall gives us a quirky look into the conspiracy theories of the Legend of Zelda. 00:32:37 - 00:46:40: Liah and Avalanchemike present the (kind of) final feedback ever. 00:46:40 - 00:48:21: It's our birthday and we'll credit ourselves if we want to. 00:48:23 - 00:50:50: Liah and Avalanchemike are terrible people (ie: bloopers).
