Season 12 Episode 1

This week we're kicking off season 12, which is all about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. We're beginning with a look at its development, starting with the transition from The Wind Waker 2 to a “realistic Zelda” project that would become the game we know today. 

Legendary Adventures is a Legend of Zelda playthrough podcast. I’m exploring the evolution of the Zelda game series by playing through each game in release order, excluding spin-off releases.
