As of now there is little that we know about the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake. The reveal trailer gave us just a glimpse that the game exists and left the rest to our imagination, or rather... prediction! This week, we're joined by Adrielle as we break down and weigh in on Evan Hahn's latest article in which he puts the Zelda Dungeon Writing Team's collective "wisdom of the crowd" to the test! For this article, thirty-two Zelda Dungeon staff members were surveyed and asked to make predictions regarding various aspects of the Ocarina of Time remake like: When will we see the next trailer? What will the release date be? Will the Ocarina of Time remake be open world? Which existing dungeon will see the biggest overhaul? Will the remake have any new dungeons? And more! All this, PLUS we are now only two weeks away from the 2026 Zelda Dungeon Marathon! And this year, Zelda Dungeon's merch store has returned!

Back in February, we reviewed Zelda Dungeon's Top 40 Moments in the Zelda Series list. Spanning two whole episodes, we went through each entry and gave our thoughts on the final results from what had been a heated and arduous decision process! Three months later, Zelda Dungeon released their "Even More Top Moments" list! This week we're reviewing that very list, covering the Zelda moments that hadn't quite made the initial top 40 cut but still deserved to be recognized! All this, PLUS our thoughts on Sony removing purchased movies from user libraries and announcing their 2028 discontinuation of physical games. Come hang out!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon!
