Super Mario , Metroid , Fire Emblem , Stardew Valley , and more all show up, plus a debate on the legacy of Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild .

This week, we're taking the show a place it's never gone before: back to the launch of the Wii U! We're reviewing the Zelda -themed attraction Battle Quest , which was one of twelve Nintendo franchise themed mini games included in the Wii U launch title / showcase game Nintendo Land ! We talk about the levels, swordfighting with the Wiimote versus archery with the Game Pad, the design of the sock-puppet characters, if Nintendo Land contributed to the Wii U's poor first impression, some of the other attractions in the game, and maybe most importantly: if there was a reason we had never talked about Battle Quest before.

Our Echoes of Wisdom coverage is coming to an end for now, as this week, we put a bow on our last few weeks worth of coverage by assigning a final score to each of the ten key categories that define a great Zelda game: the world, the art style, the gameplay, the pacing, the story, the music, the enemies and bosses, the dungeons, the items, and the side content. We debate, discuss, and talk about how this game was exactly what Zelda fans needed. All this, PLUS a little Lord of the Rings , Game of Thrones , and cozy gaming discussion! Come hang out with us.

We are finally taking all of your Echoes of Wisdom questions this week, and you guys didn't disappoint! We're covering a wide variety of topics, including: do we want to see more games where you play as Zelda? Specifically, do we want to see a direct sequel to Echoes ? Should Zelda games reuse/reimagine the same overworld more often? Is Echoes more of a kid-friendly game than Tears of the Kingdom ? Who's our favorite new character in the latest Zelda game? How does Echoes impact how we think about A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds ? All this, PLUS some thoughts on the officially announced timeline placement! Come hang out with us!
