ZUCast: Kicking Off a Year of Anniversaries!

The ZUCast is back for 2021, kicking off a year of anniversary celebrations both for the Legend of Zelda series we all love and for Zelda Universe itself! In case you were unaware, the original Famicom game launched on February 21, 1986, and just shy of fifteen years later, on February 20, 2001, a Norwegian named Lars launched Zelda Universe. So all year long, we're going to be interspersing our regular juicy podcast content with some super-special retrospective content!

If you found us through Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, or some other podcatcher, then I encourage you to check out our website, zeldauniverse.net; we publish Legend of Zelda and Nintendo related news, exclusive editorial content and features, game guides, and more. You can also subscribe to ZeldaUniverseTV on YouTube and Twitch, or join our large, welcoming forum community!

We actually have three new faces—er, voices—on our humble podcast team, and you'll hear one of them this episode: Connor Schultz, a Features Writer here on Zelda Universe and a born podcaster! Welcome to the ZUBC, Connor! Oh, and Shona, TheZeldaAnn, and Realm are back, as well as Peyton (who co-hosts the episode with Amanda), so if you've been wondering what happened to any of them, wonder no more!

Anyway, here's what you have to look forward in this, the 15th episode of NuZUCast™:
