Corrections:

[0:02] Your relative past.
[0:16] thefarmeridian.com
[0:52] Seriously, it’s on the tip of my tongue.
[0:54] If you are listening to this episode at night, substitute where appropriate. If the distinction between night and day is meaningless to you, well, them’s the breaks.
[1:05] It lost out to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
[1:22] Their future being in our relative past, ironically.
[1:25] And Philadelphia.
[1:40] Despite this being recorded in the immediate weeks after Breath of the Wild’s release, it is highly likely that Dan will be still be playing by the time this airs.
[2:08] Hold onto your hats, kids, because that list of things is just gonna keep shrinking
[2:19] https://youtu.be/1jct5FOG9AE (NSFW?)
[2:24] In direct contrast to that statement, Mischa is currently playing Shovel Knight.
[2:55] A Fun Fact You’re Going to Hate starring Adam Conover and John Oliver, coming to CBS this fall.
[3:10] Magician, not wizard. (n.b.: that’s an actual correction not a reference to the hit SyFy show or associated books)
[3:41] They fight over the Triforce, a Sierpinski triangle lookin’ thing that embodies power, wisdom, and courage, and Ganondorf, Zelda, and Link usually embody those traits, but mostly it's a fancy MacGuffin.
[3:48] Some sort of man/bear/pig thing.
[3:54] Don’t forget about the Europe/Japan-only release Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland.
[4:08] No, but for a similar idea, check out the game Half-Minute Hero.
[4:02] In order: Skyward Sword, Four Swords Games/Minish Cap, Miniboss in BotW, A Link to the Past.
[4:20] During this recording, Mischa wore a shirt that evoked both Magic: The Gathering and Super Mario Bros., so they know a lot about endlessly remaking something in weird new contexts.
[4:41] No correction.
[5:18] Yeah, jeez. Fell right on your face right there.
[5:45] As Is Prophecy.
[5:49] It’s the place where the Triforce is supposed to be, even though the real Triforce was inside you all along.
[6:22] The Song of Storms, to be precise. https://youtu.be/gPE_Ws4mD0s
[6:27] The Spirit Temple.
[6:34] The wear on the temple actually isn’t the issue, it’s the size of the various Links. Dan had it confused with the time-hopping level “Effect and Cause” in Titanfall 2.
[7:52] Fun fact: Dan’s first Zelda was its companion title, Oracle of Ages, which also has time travel, but it’s mostly used as a light/dark world mechanic.
[8:34] The whole thing. Never did a single co-op session.
[9:19] Instead, the DS sequels to Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks each had their own Big Bad and Ganon never showed up because, uh, he super dies in Wind Waker.
[9:58] The Link that goes back to be a child continues on to Majora’s Mask.
[11:37] I’d play a Ezlo/King of Red Lions spinoff game.
[12:05] And then gets _immediately_ kidnapped.
[12:32] One hundred years.
[13:43] It’s just a massive departure that had more RPG elements and sidescrolling combat but it doesn’t feel good and it’s just super not fun
[14:55] Game Boy Advance.
[14:56] Fun fact: Minish Cap, alongside the Oracle games, were developed by Capcom. They’re the only officially third-party Zelda games not made by Phillips that anyone ever saw outside of Japan.
[18:56] Oracle, not Ocarina.
[19:50] OH SHIT
[20:13] Dan has seen timelines that try to include his appearance in Soulcalibur II.
