Season 8 Episode 1
This is the start of Season 8, which is focused on the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, but that game was released bundled with a remake of the third Zelda Title, A Link to the Past. So, to kick things off we’re going to spend a couple episodes revisiting that game and pointing out some of the changes between the two versions. I’m basing much of these episodes off of my Season 3 scripts – but with some updates, and a few corrections. This episode is focused on the developmeny and Legacy of A Link to the Past.

Season 7 - Episode 13.6 (Bonus)
This is a surprise, unscheduled bonus episode of Legendary Adventures, a Legend of Zela playthrough Podcast. This is Season 7, which is all about The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, and Oracle of Seasons. I’ve just started my playthrough of a Linked game of Oracle of Seasons – but on Friday I released a short bonus episode highlighting some of the differences in the start of an unlinked game.
I got a few requests to do something similar with the linked opening of Oracle of Ages – so we’re just going to fit that in right here before we get too deep into Oracle of Seasons.
