End of the Year Wrap-up | Zeldudes Podcast #10

[@OakBlu]

Just popping in to say im completely fine with you guys' schedule for this channel, and I fully understand its a side project. I appreciate it existing regardless

[@Mossbergg]

As someone who consumes a lot of podcasts while at work, this one is one of my favs! (Maybe its because they are released so rarely lol) but cant wait to see the videos in 2025 !

[@matraclm5422]

Loving your podcasts, always make it a point to hear it everytime they come out. As a woman, I would sure love to see a lady finish up the trio, we women are underrepresented in the community, sadly. Thanks for your insights, they are always right on point, and very entertaining! By the way, all I need is BOTW. Always, same hyrule, same Zelda, same Link. I will NEVER be ready to let those characters go...

2024 has been a great year. I love Echoes of Wisdom, and returning to the 2D style of the franchise (well, 2.5D) just felt nice. I missed 2.5D Zelda so much, so playing through it was amazing. Truly my GOTY. I hope we get a Link Between Worlds ported over to Switch or Switch 2 (or whatever it's gonna be called, no matter rumors or anything until Nintendo confirms it) as it is my favorite 2D Zelda game and I would love to have an excuse to play through the game again. Loved watching you dudes this year as well, best of luck for 2025!

6:52 - if you’re going to play Elden Ring or other Soulsborn games for the channel, unless you’re going to be recording your personal playthroughs that you’d normally be doing during your personal time, I’d prefer you hold off until after you’ve finished the playthrough of every Zelda game; it’s taking you long enough to get the Zelda vids out, and while I think it’s unfair for any of us to criticise you guys over that, it’s going to be disappointing to those of us not invested in the Souls games to have the time you guys could be using to make more Zelda content spent on making Souls content. At most, as a compromise, maybe alternate between a Zelda game and a Souls game (ie play all of a Zelda game then play a Souls game; possibly just a comparable amount of a Souls game as unless I’m mistaken they’re much bigger than most Zeldas correct?). That being said, if you’re branching out from Zelda on this channel, I think personally I’d rather see you guys play stuff that’s more Zeldaesque/Zelda inspired like Tunic.

[@gaelonhays1712]

Or possibly make a second channel for other games. I'd much rather keep the focus on Zelda, either by finishing a game before changing series, or by separating other stuff.

My favorite lp of yours so far has been Skyward Sword. But Twilight Princess may take the cake when you get there!

[@pablojoel3217]

Merry soon Christmas and New Year, for the both of you. I wish you guys continue to grow, not only both of your channels, but as a person as well, and may you guys accomplish your goals. Looking forward to more awesome things you both are planning. Thank you for the things you guys do, even though life gets busy for both of you. Take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of this month.

[@rebeccahannah117]

Merry Christmas ZeldaMaster and Zeltik! 🎄😊

[@kylewhite4984]

3rd man should be the Bread Pirate, to really add some chaos, if not though Monster Maze would be the obvious choice

[@willisrose9756]

I think LoruleanHistorian would be a good fit for a third man for this podcast!

[@ganonfan]

Ooh, he would be a good fit. I’ve talked to him a few times and he’s such a great person to hang out with and chat about Zelda.

[@EchosOfWhiterun_5555DocOfStyle]

Hey ZelDudes: I personally think this has been one *HELL* of a year and also that you guys are doing an *AWESOME* job as usual. The unlimited debate as to what will come out on the *Switch 2* is very interesting and I think that it should lead off with a *Twilight Princess REMASTER* because that game has obviously *NOT* gotten the *LOVE* that it really deserves. Now, as to what do we think that you guys are going to be playing on the *Channel* from now on? I personally would love to see you guys play the entire series of *Dark Souls* and this will, in turn, lead into the brand new *Elden ring DLC* which we know that you're going to be playing together anyway!!! While you guys are at it, why not cover the *Xenoblade* series as well? ~ JonseyG 👲💖

[@UltimateTobi]

Agreed. The non-permanence of your creations when you went through a loading zone (such as a shrine) was the biggest downer for me. No having a small car and racing from shrine to shrine; especially early game without Auto-Build.

[@jaredlee5466]

I think it would be interesting to see you play Elden ring. Happy Christmas really enjoy the channel. thank you for all the videos this year.

[@litfilms_7]

Merry Christmas guys!! Would love to see a Nightreign playthrough, and I think the third person should be Bandit (Bandit Games/Bandit Jo)!

[@SuperBrooklynite007]

“Super Switch” it worked 2 times already 3rd time is a charm

[@willbrown630]

We stan Zeldudes thank you for an end-of-year wrap up

[@justaman3817]

Happy holidays everyone. 🎄

[@alizaheer9123]

I think the third person should be HMK!!! In your Highs and Lows of Tears of the Kingdom podcast episode he represented the power part of the tri force in that episode. Plus you both are great friends with him so I recommend him if you do a three player nightreign playthrough.

[@pablojoel3217]

This I like. The 3 triforce holder united.

[@UltimateTobi]

Nah. Why not ZINK?

[@OakBlu]

Honestly yea he does bring a more bombastic energy than these two, would be super fitting

[@drewsteroni6440]

Imagine if the third person for your playthrough was Arlo

[@lordofuzkulak8308]

17:19 - to be fair, unless I’m mistaken, a significant portion of the PS2 sales figures are because it was also a high quality dvd player, and at the time was cheaper than straight up dvd players, so a lot of people just bought it to be a dvd player.

[@lordofuzkulak8308]

49:36 - I’ve been watching a playthrough of Astrobot by a youtuber I’m subbed to, and it looks so good. And it’s so wholesome that it’s amazing that it’s not a Nintendo game; its vibes are pure Nintendo that getting a game for a Nintendo console in the same mould would be wonderful and it’d probably sell like hotcakes. And thinking about it, Nintendo already has a brand they could build it off - Smash; Smash already has the premise of all these Nintendo characters and settings coexisting and crossing over, that Nintendo could use that as the foundations for an Astrobot style game and it’d work as a premise no problem.

[@MedalionDS9]

Howdy fellas. I too was disappointed by lack of Echoes of Wisdom representation this year, but is my runner up for GOTY... after Astro Bot. I stopped playing Astro after I beat it but I beat Echoes of Wisdom a month ago and I am still playing it everyday... I am close to 100%ing it out of desperation because if I am honest... I wanted MOAR from the game, and I keep hoping to find it somehow... because of my love and connection to A Link to the Past from my youth and its map.

[@Skyview65]

Yes can you play with monster maze? I think he’s a huge fan as well

[@DarknessGuard]

I'm telling you the Switch successor will at best have the technology of a PS3 Pro and honestly, I wouldn't wanna spent another 500 or 600 bucks for a new console just yet. Even if it was just 400 I would have to wait a few months before I would consider it. There simply wouldn't be anything, anymore I could think of that would coax me to spent this much, at release. Not even a new Zelda would do it for me, unless it would be a new title that returns to the classic formula and we know that won't happen. Imagine a TP remake for the Switch successor but it also implements some, if not all ideas the team had before Crossbow Training to use for more TP...

[@gabi.bg12]

I think the 3rd person should be MunchingOrange 👀👀

[@DanHallow]

HMK! He’s red, so it’s a match!

[@consumeproduce]

hurrah! happy Christmas guys 🎄🤘🏻🥳

[@joekelly9332]

Play with MonsterMaze!

[@ArchAngel_M81]

I hope to see more of the Zelda timeline play through. I'm personally not as high on Elden Ring as others, but I know I'm in the minority on that. What if the Zelda game that is in the Switch 2 launch window is Hyrule Warriors: Imprisoning War?

[@mljh11]

OLED screen availability is highly dependent on demand/supply though, Nintendo has to compete with phone and tablet manufacturers for those screens.

[@Diogo_7237]

What if they remade Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask in just 1 game? It'd be as big as BoTW and we could see the entire story of the hero of time in 1 huge game!!!

[@hist150project5]

As big as BotW is not a good thing IMO. BotW was way too big in my opinion. In fact one of my biggest hopes for the next 3D Zelda is a smaller, denser world.

[@Uniclowndaddy]

Id love to see masked majora become a zeldude. She doesn't get enough recognition in my opinion

[@SeveraLF]

I know Monster Maze is an Elden Ring fan..maybe he’d be up to join you two?

[@koronos]

OOT remake needs more in Hyrule Field.

[@henrimemelord]

Definitely play nightreign on this channel

[@munohlow]

Switch 2 and spit on that thang

[@bradhedgehog12]

Yep for sure boys

[@lordofuzkulak8308]

43:44 - simple solution: have it be sounds from the CDi games. 😜

[@AidanRatnage]

47:20 How dare you slander Sinpperclips like that? It is most definitely not crap!

[@XiTSlash]

When was the last time you played something online on the Switch? Cause I can tell you haven't in years if not ever

[@iamrunningwithscissors9256]

If they don't call it the Super Nintendo switch and make it gray and purple, then they are stupid.

[@offline-loft0506]

ZM works too hard

[@ellegee4043]

What if your third player is a zeldudes fan ... Have a mini contest and the winner plays with you two?

[@Nightlight404.]
