Ep.11: "We Love A Himbo Redemption Arc" (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword w/ Hannah Berg)

Hey! Listen! This week, we are joined by actress, gamer, and delightful friend of the pod Hannah Berg (she/her) as we cover our first (but certainly not our last) Legend of Zelda game on G4P!
We’re talking 2011’s The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii!

Despite its reputation as the “black sheep” of 3D Zelda games, we discuss our fondness for it as we reflect on how it still succeeds as one of the most charming and character-driven Zelda adventures, with a gorgeous art style and incredible puzzle & enemy design to boot. 

We obvi talk about our crushes on Link, Zelda, and the other denizens of Skyloft, reflect on motion-control woes, unpack our complicated feelings about queer-coded villains, and plead for Nintendo to give us a remaster for this game’s 10th anniversary!

All that and more on another adventurous episode of Gay for Play!
