In case you're a Korok who's been hiding under a rock, Nintendo announced a sequel to Breath of the Wild during this years E3 Nintendo Direct, and the nerds of the ZUBC are finally here to give you their angles on the über-anticipated game! This…is the ZUCast!


If you found us through iTunes, Google Play, 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!

In addition to our first BotW2 content, we have some exciting stuff in store for you this episode, including a look at the franchise's presence in the Super Smash Bros. series, a relaxing tour of the game's water themes, news from the ZU Forums, and even an impromptu rant about Ilia, for some reason! Plus, a look back at ZUthon 2019, during which a certain podcast host—guess who—spent hours digging virtual holes in an effort to extort donations from viewers (lol).
