Ep 68 - Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword: A Tale of Two Titles
Nintendo in the 2000's was a period of transition. Moving to the world of more "adult gaming" while keeping their core "fun over all" values led to strange experiments and commercial triumphs. Both The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are examples of this shift in philosophy. Going from Wind Waker cute to Twilight dark and back to Skyward bright not only shines light on Nintendo as a company but gaming culture as a whole. Join myself and a team of Zelda fans as we compare, contrast, and give context to a decade of change and discovery.
