 to the Nintendo Prime Podcast season 2 episode 45. Boy, do we have a jam-packed show for you guys this week because Nintendo dropped the goods. Well, to be fair, the entire entertainment industry's been kind of dropping the goods. Things we won't be talking all the day. There's going to be a Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer popping off in December that, you know, potentially, maybe, hey, we can't say we can't rule it out for Switch 2 at some point because we did get, I mean, we did get the GTA trilogy remaster, which we just want to pretend that doesn't exist. But hey, we did get it technically. So who knows? That's probably going to be one of the most watched video game trailers of all time, just based on how much traction it's getting online. There was other movies and stuff, leaks, some Shrek 5 stuff, a bunch of crazy things happening all around, but we're focusing on Nintendo because this isn't the Nintendo Prime podcast and we happen to get our own surprise crazy announcement from a financial briefing where Nintendo typically doesn't announce jack shit. But they decided, you know what, because we're showing off some Mario movie revenue today, hey, investors, be happy, we have another movie coming. So we're going to be talking about that. But before we do, we got to go around the room and go, what have we been playing lately? That's what we do, introduce ourselves to the whole jazz. Let's first go over to the height master himself. Live fast, eat my live fast. How's it going? Okay, what do you got going on? What have you been playing? Yo, I've been good. Thank you so much for having me back and whatnot. I'm excited for everything we're going to be talking about. I've been playing a lot. Super Marbra's wonder, Spider-Man 2. I've been playing a lot of Genshin impact. You know, the Fontaine quests are like getting really good and Farina just dropped if anyone who plays, you know what I'm talking about. And I've still been playing a lot of Tears of the Kingdom. I'm trying to 100% the game. And I'm like, I'm getting there. I am getting there. I'm only missing Korok seeds, which is probably going to take me a while. And the rest of the boss medals and done DLC Nintendo just master mode for free. Just just just master mode, just master mode. I feel like they should they might maybe be able to do that next year. Just drop a little free master mode update. With honesty, right? They gave us that whole Luigi side mode thing. So I can see them. Yeah, the little balloon Luigi, Luigi balloon. Yeah, I can see them doing a free update next year. All right. Let's see. You know what? Let's go right next to you, Nick. I haven't talked to you in forever either, man. Yeah, it's it's it's been a while and I feel so bad because you've asked a couple of times and I've had drop out today. We had three separate people tell me to fuck off. I'm just wow. Two of them rescheduled and one of them is sick. So it is what it is. Yeah, it's just sick of you. He's just trying to fill in because Jake Randall couldn't make it today. So remind people that we don't keep it clean around here. We're also talking about the Zelda movie and like movies are my thing. So I could I couldn't miss the Zelda movie. Yeah. That's why I was like, I gotta reach out. I didn't know he's gonna really want to be here, but can he be here? I made it work. In terms of what I've been playing, I've been playing a lot of Mario Wonder and Fortnite. That's about it. That's all I've had time to get in that Luigi season. Earlier today. Yeah. Why? Okay. So they brought back the original map and all that stuff. Yeah, that's cool. That was just what everyone's all hyped about. Bro, we have nostalgia for Fortnite, which came out like all the original stuff, all the original guns, the map, the whole nine yards. It's so good. To put it to perspective, like Fortnite has evolved so much as a game that they've added all these intricate like intricate weapons, abilities, and whatnot to the point. It's got pretty wild. Now to strip a lot of that off, but still retain some of the things that you've gained throughout Fortnite to go back to OG season is like that it's it's really interesting. And the guns are very, very unbalanced, which makes it really fun. Now it's that there was like 44 million peak or whatever it had, which is a lot of people came back for this is the highest peak in Fortnite history. And I'm just sitting there like, damn, one that you've been fucking up because people are nostalgic for the original to hey, now that you got them back, try not to fuck it up again. I know they said this is like a limited time. Yeah, as soon as I saw that 44 million, I was like, nah, it's going to be some like side mode, or they're going to rework whatever they were planning, the old map, like they're not going to throw that all lose our user base again. Yeah, no, but it's a temporary thing. Like I played it today. You know, just to kind of see it like I'm not going to, I'm not going to get back and playing Fortnite like, you know, a couple hours every day. Like that's not going to happen. I play a couple hours every night. Shit. I like the OG Fortnite like season one was great. So I'm going to play a little bit over over this weekend. We'll see. We'll see. Eric, what are you playing lately, bud? Tears of the Kingdom. Hell yeah. Yeah, I got that's the only game. Yeah, all I'm at is the only game. Got through my last last temple. The fifth one. No, I'm sorry, the four. I was going to say there's a fifth one. I know you know about it, but I know about it. You don't know about it if you don't pay attention. So the four regional ones. Okay. Just finished up the water on and then I've gone through and just be Oh my gosh, master Koga. Master Koga thing. Yep. And then now I'm working my way to the Yuka hideout. So that's where I'm at. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's of the four regional dungeons? Which one's your favorite and why? Man, the the Rideau one. I mean the air thunder lightning, whatever the hell it is. That one's that one's a lot of fun because I mean it's just a really cool like That's the aesthetics to it. And the the final boss is really freaking cool too. So I think that one is is is uh. And the music. Yeah, yeah, the music at the game. Or it's that specific track. The cold. You're going to play the cheers of the kingdom theme song, which also is really good. But I mean, dude, if you know, you know, you play Kogara. You just do it. But the water one was actually surprisingly easy. Well, yeah. Yeah, it was kind of a joke. I was actually really disappointed when I got to the final boss fight and I was like, really? This is it. Yeah. Yeah, like I didn't like I, you know, it's funny. I love going there and the aesthetic. And I thought that was nice too. But that final boss must rock and I'm like, yeah, it was it was stupidly easy. And I just I don't know. I mean, all of them can be because you could just cheese everything for the most part. But if you're not trying to cheese it, it's still just easy. I just say it's whatever. I made it. I made a vehicle that can kill them up to rock. Like you extend out hydrants. And then there's lasers. Yeah. That's awesome. I need to get back into tears of the kingdom. He's just like, I haven't been playing. What the hell? I got to get back into it. Um, yeah, you got to a fortnight going on. Come on, man. I was I was trying to finish like all the shrines and stuff before Mario wonder came out failed. And then I didn't. And I got to I got too caught up in like my editing work and stuff. And I never got it done. Happens. Andress, we've been playing lately. Well, I played fortnight earlier today, like right before the show, which is neat. Still playing. Actually, I was playing Mario wonder when he went live. Well, you did it on switch fortnight. Or do you play? I thought you're asking if I played Mario wonder. Obviously, I know. I'm asking if you played fortnight in switch. No. You played it on something else. PlayStation. PlayStation. Yes. Thank you, man. I used to play fortnight and switch on like that's you know, no. See fortnight on switch. The funny thing about it is you're paired with mobile gamers and you just fucking wreck them. It's just hilarious. I suck. And I will go ahead and just get first place like every fucking time because they're trying to do little tap touch controls. And I'm like, you're fucking dead. You're dead. Well, the other thing though is that if you don't play that much in the season, you're going to come in at level one and you're going to play against other level ones. So you're going to play a lot of bots. And you know, I mean, but I like that though. But yeah, it makes you feel like you're really good. It builds up your confidence. And then you start shooting at real people and then you kill them accidentally. Like, oh, well, when you went from the bots, it is a really what happens for me, though, is that every time I kill someone, I'm like, oh, that was a bot. Oh, that was a bot. Like, I just do I assume every time I get a kill. Every time. Everybody got. Yeah. Oh, I won three victory. I was in a row. They're all bots. You got to get to level 100 before you face the real competition. Well, the top players. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. I don't know. I'm I almost never play enough to get to level 100. That I mean, now definitely not maybe like years back. There was a couple. There was a couple of seasons where I got close. Nice. All right. So you put a little fortnight. You put a little Mario wonder or anything else. Nope. That's it. No, no, but but I'm almost done binge watching Big Bang Theory. And then I'm going to go back to one piece. Heck yeah. Then you go back and do what? Then I'm going to go back to one piece. So like I was getting through one piece. I got past the Fishman arc. Not the are longer like the like Fishman Island, like the past the time skip. Finish that part. And then for whatever reason, I decided I wanted to watch suits. So I did that. But I also started watching Big Bang Theory. And I'm like finishing that up. I've been season 12. It's funny because I just like passed the point in Big Bang Theory where they started playing Fortnite. Because I think I guess season 12 came out around the time Fortnite came out because they always try to put something that's like trendy in like the nerd scene or whatever. So yeah. I'm coming back to one piece soon though. I miss it. I miss homey. I've rewatched the series several times. Like I don't know. There's just it just it just feels good to watch one piece. You watch an episode or two go to bed. Sweet dreams. Sweet dreams. I mean like yeah, if you love series, you know, I would do I would do that for what did I used to do that for? I just I guess it wasn't that important. Never mind. Not that good. I guess it wasn't that good. You know, was it an anime or something else? No, it was an anime. I'm just gonna start guessing random anime. It was an older new. Well, okay. What decade? 90s, 80s, 20s? Like old enough. Inuyasha? No. No. No. Full battle. No. I'll come back to me later. I'm just gonna randomly blur an anime. I'm like, oh, it's that. Yeah. Let's wait for that. There you go. So I still playing a little Mario wonder. I don't have all of the challenge stuff be yet. So I've been playing a little bit of that. Played some Spider-Man 2. I got a few more hours into that. I'm having a good time. I haven't ran into any bugs yet. So people warned me about some bugs. And I'm like, yeah, I haven't had anything happen yet. But it's not like I put 20 plus hours into it. Like a lot of other people have to run into more stuff yet. So we'll see. I'm having a really good time with Spider-Man 2. By the way, it's a great game. I thought it would be. I enjoyed Spider-Man and I enjoyed Miles Morales. So it's not like I didn't think I was gonna enjoy this one. So I'm having a good time. And then I actually also played a little bit of Tears of the Kingdom this week. I'm just, I'm a long ways away from 100%. But that's because I decided that I'm just gonna play this one save file for years. I'm just gonna play here and there. Do a few shrines. Do a few of this, a little of that. Couple side quests. I'm good. I'm gonna set it down. Because I just think it might be five years till I get a new Zelda game. So I need to make sure that I'm always experiencing something new in Tears of the Kingdom for the next five years. So I've already beaten the main story. I already know I wasn't gonna wait on that. But yeah, I'm just, dude, I have so much fun in the game that I probably won't build. I still have yet to build a mech. And I probably won't even build one for like three years. Just because I'm saving things for me to do later. It feels so weird because I'm used to it's Zelda. Dude, you gotta get everything now. Look at all these other games I'm gonna play. Yeah, but dude, I don't replay games. So I'm gonna make this Zelda experience last for five years. I keep forgetting that. I was like, oh, we could just like marathon through all the Zeldas. Yeah, but anyways, no, I won't. I'll say that I'll never marathon through them. I have to have a reason. All right. So the reason because I want to, the reason would have to be something. Hypothetical. Let's say we do get an arcane time remake in the next two years. Would you play that? Stop. Yeah, a remake. Yes. Stop. Don't, don't give me hope. A remake I would. Not, not a remaster unless there's new content and even then. But if they throw the three years version of arcane time on the switch, I'm in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat. I'm 100% of that all over again. Easy. Oh, absolutely. Easy. Yeah, arcane time 3D was pretty good. I'd probably do a live stream and then they would tell me that you need to now beat this game 100%. I'm like, God damn it. Someone will drop like a hundred dollars super chat and they'll feel obligated. Am I gonna touch it? You're gonna make me replay. You're gonna twist my arm. I guess I'll beat a game I've beaten like a dozen times. All right, fine. Anyways, yeah, I've replayed it a lot in the early 2000s. I was writing walkthroughs for it back then. So I had to do a lot of playthroughs to get all this shit down. Anyways, all right. Well, we can get to our topics because, hey, it's appropriate that we were just briefly talking about Zelda because, hello, Nintendo. Wrapping bombs. Oh, yeah. Here's some sales data. Oh, aren't we so wonderful? By the way, we're doing a live action Zelda movie with Sony Pictures, with producer Shigeru Miyamoto and Abby Arad for those who don't maybe don't know who he is. He's pretty popular and well known, but he's done a lot of Spider-Man movies. Been involved in like all of them basically. The Spider-Man movies are good. And we're talking like the Tobii McGuire ones, the Amazing Spider-Man, even the more recent Marvel ones. They're all good. I can't think of a bad Spider-Man movie. The Spider-Verse. Across the Spider-Verse. He was part of that. Apparently, Nick disagrees. He must be a Spider-Man. Oh, I'm out. He's out of here. Oh, somebody started banging on my door. I am a Morbius fan, though. Yeah, he's a Morbius fan. Ironically. Ironically. Oh, no. Ironically. Not literally. No. So I was like, like, excuse me? Oh, man. He's done a lot of X-Men movies. He did the Uncharted movie. Yada yada. So not everything's been great, but a lot of stuff. He's just really well known. He's done a lot of big stuff. Yeah. It's also being directed by Wes Ball. He's actually best known for his work on the Maze Runner movies. But he has a really big movie coming out soon in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes that he's the director of. Obviously, we don't know if that's a good or not because it's not out. I mean, Planet of the Apes movies have been pretty good. But this is his first one. So, you know, he's kind of young. He's getting his directing chops and could be he could be one of those next big big name directors. You know, when you think of the Peter Jackson's and all that special after the Zelda movie want to be. Yeah. The Zelda movie becomes like the new Lord of the Rings and gets pretty much that happens. He's going to be the big name behind it because the director always gets a ton of credit because they do way more than the producers do. So it's going to be it's going to be pretty crazy there. We're going to talk about that later because man, I've been seeing some takes that just like get me boiled, but continue. Sorry. I'm just doing the quick summer here. There's no actor information at this time. Of course, there's not the the SAG stuff is still on strikes. So actually, actually, the strikes just ended today. It ended today. Yeah, and tomorrow or like 12 o'clock, 1 p.m. Pacific time. Didn't they came to an agreement today? Yeah. So they did a three year agreement preliminary. Yep. There we go. Oh, OK. But finalized till tomorrow. Got it. All right. So, hey, look, it's going to end soon. So they could potentially announce actors any time after tomorrow. Whenever they randomly feel like it. Now I start to suspect the next Nintendo director probably going to drop some actors. I honestly don't think it's going to be that soon. I honestly think we're going to have to wait a while before we get more information. Two years before the Mario movie came out, they told us. Yeah, like we waited a while before anything could materialize for the Mario movie. I'm going to guess, though, that we're not going to have to wait as long. I'm not saying it's happening like next year or something. Like I think we still have a couple of years before this comes out, but I don't think the way it's going to be as long as it's going to be as long as the Mario movie. The official announcement just entered production. But then the tweet said they've been working on it for years, but that could have just been pitches and ideas. So, from what I gathered, Miyamoto said he's been working on the script for years. Like he's been working on the story scripts, the stuff like that, like the idea of it, he's been working on it for years. But then we have to like, you know, the strike just ended. You know, they probably weren't even scouting actors. Actors have to go through like, you know, the process of like auditioning for the role and stuff. I feel there's going to be a lot of process still left to do before. Probably at least three years. I think the movie will come out in 2026, honestly. The 40th anniversary of Zelda. So we'll see because Nintendo didn't announce this, but Deadline and other places are reporting who the lead writer for this is. Derek Connolly? Connolly. If you guys don't know who he is, because not everyone pays attention to writers, he did Kong Skull Island. He's done all the Jurassic World movies. He did Star Wars Riders of the Skywalker. He also detected P-Cruise. I got interjecting that before people start blowing that up, of course, because Rise of Skywalker was a bad movie. But the only reason why he has a writing credit because of that is because that's back when Colin Travio was directing and writing the movie, who he often collaborates with, especially when it comes to the Jurassic World movies. And that's why he still retains the writing credits. But that project is not the same as what they were putting together after J.J. Abrams put it there. So before, because we were freaking out about that on Twitter, they're like, oh, he did Rise of Skywalker. No. He was originally one of the co-writers who still retains one of the credits of it when Travio was involved. But no. You're also my thing. People always focus on the worst thing they've done. Are we just ignoring all his other writing credits? Exactly. Are you not good? For the Jurassic World movie? Why are they considered pretty good? Not like the greatest? Well, the third one was... The first one was really good, obviously. I loved the first two. I actually loved the first two. He was involved in writing those. Like, it's not like he's got perfect, but none of them know. If you look at even the biggest name directors, they got done movies. You don't judge them based on their worst. You judge them based on what their averages are. So you don't go to the best. You don't go to the worst. What's an ass movie? Remember, it's pretty good. So that's how I take it. I personally just strongly disagree with anyone who thinks this is going to be bad because Nintendo has given us no indication that that will be the case. Like, maybe you're going to be extremely picky about it, but the Mario Bros movie is pretty much universally accepted unless you have something up your butt. But otherwise, it's considered to be a really good movie or for what they wanted it to be. And the problem... It's not a problem now, but the problem with having Nintendo movies and why we haven't had one for decades outside of the Mario Bros movies because Nintendo is extremely protective of their IP. Nintendo would not have greenlit this project if they didn't have full confidence that it was not going to represent the IP well. So the fact that they're announcing this, all that tells me, and it should tell everyone really, is that they believe this is going to be good. And if they believe it's going to be good, what? I think they just know what they're doing. Exactly. Exactly. This could be a PG-13, which I hope it is. And it could be literally like the next... They could turn this into a trilogy. It could be a Lord of the Rings type epic adventure. Who the hell... I'm not saying it's going to be like Lord of the Rings. It's not. Well, the fact that they decided to go live-action, though, because they could have gone animated. Yes. They decided not to. Other people are mad. They didn't go animated. Hold on. I'm one of those people who is mad. They didn't go animated. I think animated would have been better. But as I was thinking about it today, with live-action, they can go a more serious route with... Yes. Like Allah, Lord of the Rings. But it also leaves the door open for if they wanted to do something animated in the Wind Waker or Toon Link style, you could have both. Kind of like how you do with the games. Like Toon Link looks very different from the rest of the links. You could still do a Zelda anime down the road, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the craziest thing about Zelda is that, unlike Mario, we've seen how it turned out. I still love that move, by the way. The original Super Mario Bros. movie. I love that move. But we've seen how that turns out when you take a concept like Mario is just like, all right, let's turn it into live-action. Let's see what happens. Okay. But Zelda has much more potential to be in that space of live-action and being at the top of operatic, epic type movie, especially if they want to go a more fancy or even dark fantasy approach. Considering the people attached and the production company and the director and writer attached, they're known for having these fantastical spaces in terms of putting out the movies like Jurassic World. They can put out great special effects fitting into a realistic look. It's that maze runner. It's like, you know, you kind of have the visionary set of what- They can give us giant monster bosses which is like- Exactly. Exactly. All Marx and Legend of Zelda. Yeah. And you know, it's so amazing. It's so funny how people- Cinematic gods in this are going to just blow my mind. Yeah. Check this out. Check this out. 20 years ago, Lord of the Rings, think about what they can do today. Think about this. You know the Hobbit? Think what they did with Smoke. Imagine. Oh, yeah. Imagine a dragon like that in Zelda. So what I was saying is that like a lot of people were weirded out at first. Like at first I was weirded out only because of the idea of Nintendo and Sony working together. But then I'm like, Sony Pictures Entertainment, they're known for having like the vision of these large scale like set pieces and what they're able to accomplish with their own production company, specifically our productions and whatnot. And Nintendo's still having more than a 50% financial stake in this movie and Mimo has already confirmed that they're going to be heavily involved in the production process just like how they were Super Marbors. So a lot of people are worried and I understand being cautiously optimistic, but a lot of people are like, oh, this is going to be shit off the bat. I'm like, I was one of those people that would look at the people attached to a certain movie, specifically Sonic 1 and the Super Marbors movie. But then after those movies came out, I'm like, these movies are actually pretty far. So it made me believe it's like, okay, listen. Yeah, the track records do speak for themselves but at the same time, maybe they know what they're doing when they have these other companies constantly looking over their shoulders like, hey, not that, okay, that, okay, that. So I'm chilling with this. So something that's interesting that maybe we're not considering is that there have been other attempts at Zelda movies, Metroid movies and Nintendo hasn't done them because it didn't believe that they would be good enough. I'll go back to what I said earlier. They greenlit this one and announced it for a reason. I don't think we have anything to be worried about. And for those that are kind of bringing up the Mario Bros. movies, saying it's bad, it's not bad. It's like one of the most successful movies and it's like what? The second most successful animated movie of all time. Yeah, they didn't look out the Lion King. Yeah, like it's the speed when you cut, if you cut the Lion King or not, but so yeah, top three. Yeah, top three. Two, highest-grossing movie of this year. Yeah, yeah. And so I guess the problem with the Mario Bros. movies that people look at the critical views. Wait, I thought Barbie knocked it out yet. Barbie knocked it out, but then they put the Mario movie in theaters again. And it took back over. So Mario movie back on top. That's petty. Oh, you'll want to see it. That is super interesting. I just want to address a point though. For the people that I mentioned, like the Mario Bros. movie, and they had bad critical reviews, their critics don't matter in this case. It wasn't meant to be like a... It wasn't meant to appeal to that audience. There's a family-friendly life lesson drama all the time. You can't just have fun with movies anymore. Exactly. People are honestly like, if the movie's not Oscar bait, then it's bad by default. And I'm like, bro. Great reviews. All comedies are trash. Comedies aren't always meant to be a lesson. Somebody's not meant to make you fucking laugh. Can we also... Did you laugh a lot? Then it was probably pretty good. I'd also like to bring up a recent live-action video game adaptation. The Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Critics didn't like it, but the fans really loved it. I'll be rude with you though. I like Five Nights at Freddy's. I'm a fan of these. I thought the movie was super mid. I thought the movie was the greatest movie of all time. I'm just saying it wasn't bad. It could have been bad. I watched the movie the other night. As somebody who has no experience with Five Nights at Freddy's, I can see why people don't think it's very good. I think it's very good if you're into the series. Really into it. Otherwise, it was just okay. On that note, as a big one-piece fan, I mentioned earlier, a lot of people praised for one-piece live-action. I thought it was a little bit better than mid, but not... I loved it. I honestly loved it. I'm about to... I mean, I loved it. I like it as a one-piece fan, but whatever. What were you saying, Nate? I was about to reach to the screen and slap the shot of you. That live-action was awesome. Yeah, I'm okay. Dude, that was great. Like, I know enough about one-piece, but I wouldn't call myself a fan. After seeing that live-action, I'm like, bro, I need to read these now. So, I mean, I guess I just hold it to a higher standard. A higher standard, yeah. That's fair, because I mean... But the thing is, I'm excited it's season two. I'm going to watch season two, so I'm not saying it's bad. It was good. Oh, my... I'm just saying that it's not... I don't consider it like, you know, like something that's like a masterpiece or anything like that. Well, the main thing to remember is that one-piece has been going on a long time, right? Well, it seems like it's going to go on for a long time more. And I think it's hard for people who have never gotten into it to get into it today because it just seems so overwhelming with how many, you know, seasons. And this is a great way to get a lot of people into it, for sure. And so, like, I always view it from the light of, hey, this is like a fresh start, and this is introducing brand new people to one-piece for the first time. And I thought it was great. And that's the way I viewed it as, hey, we're rebooting, restarting a fresh start and reintroducing people to this series. I think that's why I think I was not as harsh on it because I'm like, I don't expect this to be like the anime. It's not meant to be that. It can't be that. No, no, and I'm okay with it being its own thing. With the one-piece live action, my biggest problem with it. And again, these are things I think can be fixed. Like with season two, I think they'll probably do a better job. Like I just think they didn't do a great job with the flashbacks. There was a little bit of a mismatch with the child characters, characters they picked. It didn't make sense. Sanji was starred for 40 days, yet he was still a fat kid at the end of those years. Yeah, that one was a little weird. Yeah. Like, that doesn't make any sense. I think it's in distances. I mean, it's also tough to do like, how are you going to starve a kid? Right? Yeah, and they were just doing the flashbacks to help, you know, just give you context for the characters and modern. The thing is the flashbacks in the actual anime are real heart renters. Like they're really powerful scenes. They try to replicate that. Again, where this is a video game podcast, one piece of the anime. It was all right. One piece Warriors, baby. Hey, it's one of the better selling ones, that and the Zelda. Those are the two best selling. I did speak about Zelda. Yeah, I think setting aside concerns because, look, after watching the whole world trash Mario and then watching how it turned out, we don't even know what this looks like. We haven't even seen a trailer. There's nothing to judge it on other than, oh, these people have never done a giant Lord of the Rings epic. Okay. And neither had Peter Jackson before he did it. Let's just chill out and let it happen. Have you guys seen the Peter Jackson's first movie? Wait, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You guys need to watch this movie. It's it. No, no, no. Is it the Feebles? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Bro, where's your filmography at? All right. Uh, filmography. Uh, yeah, I dig through it. But he's got a lot under him. I am bro. I am not gasoline myself. Meet the, I really feels like you are at the moment. I meet the Feebles. There you go. Yes. This is one. Oh my. It's free on YouTube. Y'all need to watch this movie. This a movie written and directed and produced by Peter Jackson long before he touched Lord of the Rings. This movie is honestly insane. It's, it's, it's so weird. You guys need to watch it. It's called meet the Feebles. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Feebles. I'll get that Google up over here. All right. So obviously, you know, setting aside any possible concerns. And, and we're going to get to like, you know, potential people we might want to be casted as specific characters that should be shoe into the movie, like Link Zelda, probably. Tom Holland is Link. But Tom Holland is Link. Before we dive into that, before we dive into that, what, what do you, what kind of direction would you guys like to see the movie go? Would you like to see it more like a Lord of the Rings original epic fantasy? Would you like to see it be based in any of the games? I think the best way for this story to go, in my opinion, is to do an original story that is set in the world of Zelda. Because then you're not having to worry about people being like, well, you didn't adapt this correctly or you didn't adapt this correctly from Twilight Princess or Ocarina of Time. And if you look at some of the other successful video game movies we've gotten recently, like the Mario movie, Sonic, some of that other stuff, they pull inspiration and they pull things from the games, but they're not a direct one to one translation of the games into the movie because it's just doesn't work. You play video games, you watch a movie. Those are two very different ways. So in other words, this is a different, this is a new timeline. Yes, this is the full. All right. Well, okay. Let me rephrase for your help. Continuity. It's going to be a different continuity. It's part of the Zelda multiverse. The Zelda's already multiverse. Yeah. And a universe. It'll be its own thing. So I like how Nick brought up that point. And I feel that for Zelda, even despite that, it's still going to be, it's still going to have that ticking time bomb working against it. Because even when we look at recent video game movies that have been good, and yes, they have been good, you have Sonic, Mario, even if you want to count Five Nights at Freddy's, like Sonic is Sonic. Mario is Mario. Peach is Peach, Bowser is Bowser, Luigi is Luigi. That story has been done. It could be done again, where it's like, oh, saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser who wants to steal away Peach. Five Nights at Freddy is that story. We know that story. If you play the game, you know the story. But for Zelda, I feel that has, that already has, that's like the biggest thing working against it. Because no matter how this movie gets adapted, even if it's like an original story with a Zelda setting, if it pulls inspiration from Ocarina of Time in certain facets, or A Link to the Past, or Twilight Princess, or Minish Cap, or et cetera, et cetera. Or if they go down a route where they loosely adapt one specific game to set up a trilogy, kind of like how Disney did with Prince of Persia's Sands of Time. They adapted Sands of Time, but it borrowed War Within and Two Thrones with that movie. If they were to do that, there's no feasible way or outcome that the Zelda move is going to come out and is going to please everyone in terms of the Zelda fandom alone. I'm sure like casual people that come see this move, they're going to be like, hey, this is epic. Oh, this is cool. Awesome. But there's always going to be that. It's like, oh, they should have adapted Ocarina of Time. Oh, they should have adapted it. I know what this thing is called versus what Prince is. Yeah, there's always going to be. I mean, Mario, that was like. But there's still people that hate on that. I'm just saying that. They don't matter. They're not fans. They're not Mario fans. They're not real. Sure. Sure. Yeah, I mean, the Zelda fan base is very hard to please. Oh, yeah. I mean, Tears of the Kingdom is being torn apart, even though like it probably should be. It's Game of the Year, man. I don't know what these people are talking about. But yet, you go on the internet, and would have you think that Tears of the Kingdom's garbage. But that's why those two people, I curate my social media, man. That's just a very loud vocal minority. Yes. Yeah. I went like this, but I meant to go like there. Like, yes. So let me ask you guys a question. What link do they use? Do they use a link that's obvious? So I agree that it probably won't be exactly based off one game. But there will be inspiration. So what kind of direction of link do they go? Do they go green tunic link? Yes. Or do they go breath of wild tears, the Kingdom style link? Like, I get those games have sold the most, and obviously they came out most recently. So I guess, collectively, those two are almost more than the entire series of the Zelda sale. It's like, yeah. But, you know, I rather them go back to like, I would understand if they would do that route. But I like, you know, for the longest time, for like the most time of recognition, Link has always done the green green hat, all that stuff. And what you were putting down earlier, I honestly would want them, if terms, if like, okay, how would they tackle this? I would want them to take the most inspiration, specifically from Ocarina of Time, because I feel that that's the easiest one they could tackle in terms of like a feasible movie script that we can see like play out in a game in real time. A lot of people could argue it's more cinematic, which is true, you know, but I feel like Ocarina of Time is that story that's like literally Ocarina of Time, Tales of Time, The Hero of Time, you know. I think it's interesting you bring that up, because I think like for like 100% certain, and Nintendo's gonna have some lineup of Zelda games to semi coincide with the movie. Not like, you know. Oh yeah, absolutely. But it's the same way we have Mario Bros. Wonder coming out this year, and the Mario Bros. movie came out earlier this year. I thought it was gonna be a Zelda game. Oh yeah, in their pocket. Listen, I've been talking about Ocarina of Time remake recently on my channel for a reason. I think it does make sense. Man, like maybe it's not Ocarina of Time, maybe it's Twilight Princess or something, but I believe there will probably will be some kind of redone Zelda game before we get the next major one. And I don't, maybe the movie takes five years, but I don't, I think it's gonna come out, you know, maybe three years, right? Live action movies, if the production is pretty stable, have a decent like two to three year turnaround time. So I would say 2026 isn't too unrealistic. And if that's the case, that's too soon for the next new Zelda game, right? Oh, absolutely. But not too soon for an Epic Zelda remake. Also, to be fair, we say, oh, it's too soon for the new Epic Zelda game. Does this mean it's not too soon to announce the new Epic Zelda game? No, that will be right at the time to announce it, but they can do both. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I wouldn't believe that they could do both. And that would be like, hey, watch the movie, maybe play this remake. Here's the next big Zelda game. Just kind of keep the train going. Can you look at the Mario thing? It's not just Mario Bros. Wonder. There's a whole bunch of other stuff coming out right now. It sets itself up for a sequel. Then all of a sudden that sequel is coming out around the same time. The new game is coming out. Oh, yeah, dude. There you go. Yo, if they adapt Ocarina Time, that movie can have the most heart wrenching ending ever for Link and Zelda saying goodbye. And then imagine the end credit scene at the very end of the movie when the credits start rolling. You see a dim room. In the back, you hear someone shuffling. There's a box. Someone opens the box. And then Majora's Mask is right there, and that's how the movie ends. I'm telling you, please, man. Just start walking at a time. Then adapt Majora's Mask and then adapt Twilight Princess. Easy, easy. See, I lean into the more original story because I think they're going to want to keep all of the same people moving forward. If they really want to build a franchise out of it, they're going to want to keep the same actors. Yeah, like they're not going to make it a trilogy. New Zelda. It would be tough to kind of do the Zelda cycle with a movie series. Because the people get attached to those characters, and then you recast them for the next one? Zelda is like the reason I think they're going live action is one, it is a more serious franchise. It does have its comedic moment, but most people don't remember Zelda for the comedic moments. They remember the story, the plot lines, the gameplay. And so they're going to, what's going to be a member of the movie? You're going to remember the acting. You're going to remember the story. You're going to remember the plots. And so they're going to, this is why I think it's going to be original because the biggest mistake, I think a lot of video game adaption movies make especially do live actions. They try too much to emulate a completely different medium. And I get you're trying to be loyal. You're trying to put the nuances in and you can have references. You can have this. You can have Easter eggs. But going in a completely original direction allows them to tell their own story, keep it going for as long as they want for as many movies as they want. And it just enables them to build something new and fresh. I mean, if we think about it, that's exactly what they do in Breath of the Loud and Tears of the Kingdom. It's something new, something fresh. And look how well it worked. I think with the movie franchise, I mean, yeah, we could talk trilogies. We could talk just single movie one off. But if this is like huge and all of them are huge, this can be like matches the trilogy. It could be significantly more than that. It's just going to be like a recurring like series. Here's the thing that's like another thing that works against a movie of this type of nature, especially when you consider, when you consider comparing it to other projects that are that got sequels or are getting sequels. Let's take once again, Sonic and Mario into consideration. For the Sonic movie, the problem. Dr. Eggman, Sonic beats Eggman. I'll be back, Sonic. Mario, the problem. Bowser, Mario beats Bowser. I'll be back, Mario. Zelda doesn't really have that luxury because with a full like Ganon or Ganon dwarf at the end of the game, that guy's got to go, right? So if we were to get an actor to like be attached to that character, like you guys said, in order to like, you know, build up a franchise, a trilogy, a duology, quadrilogy, whatever, people are going to be attached to Ganon or Ganon dwarf, depending on who they decide to portray. But that guy's got to go by the end of the movie. And then, you know, Zelda has multiple villains, but they're not known for having multiple villains that a lot of people know on the level of Ganon, Ganon dwarf. There's Vossi, there's Garoham, there's, you know. With the movie franchise, they can do that. They can set something new up, especially since I wouldn't like that though. I wouldn't like that. Nothing to tell the game doesn't have Ganon dwarf as the bad guy. Set the expectation for something different. Like I must say, just listen, you can have Ganon dwarf in the first game. You can always revive demise. Like they always have that in their back pocket. Exactly, but that exactly. But when they do, it's a whole new cast of characters. And that goes against what you guys were saying earlier. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I see what you're saying, right? Like I think whatever they do, right, like there is going to be a little bit of a timeline to it. But that doesn't mean they can't reboot it after a while. So maybe they do a trilogy, right? Maybe it's not even announced as a trilogy. They make one, it does well, they do a second one, but it is contained the same cast. And then once that's done, maybe five, 10 years later, they announce another one. The same way they've done for Spider-Man and Batman, like, you know, there's been several iterations of those. Most of them are great. I feel like it could be similar. And all those iterations focus on different baddies to help mix it up compared to prior runs of it. We'll cross that. I can see Ganondorf being the one, because he's the most well-known, but like it could be a trilogy, and we don't really compete him till the end, but he could have. Oh, that, what, that, a slow burn like that. Oh, a slow burn, but he's got underlings. You're trying to set up Thanos over here? Or, for example, Zack could come into play, an underling that works for him. He could be like one of the primary guys that gets rid of him in one of the movies. And then in another movie, it could be, let's say it's Geeraheem or something. I know that he was with the Mayas, but they can tell their own story and do their own thing and have their own. Like if you think about, like in Lord of the Rings, it's Sauron, it's Sauron. You don't really do anything about him till the end. But he's been like such a big presence throughout those movies, though. Yes, yeah, he would say it. In the movies, Ganondorf can't do what he does in the games, where he's just not there, basically until the end in most of the games. So you'll have to have a presence, but there will be other aspects that work for him that are just super, super scary. And that maybe is what you deal with in the now, while we know there's a bigger picture to get to eventually. I think it's interesting. Right, because think about this, right? Just for to have an example, because Nick, I do agree that I don't think they would model an exact game, but just for the sake of discussion here, let's say they were to model the story after Ocarina of Time. But they basically, they take Ocarina of Time and they make that into several movies. You can make the story lead up for one dungeon, be an entire movie. Like just hear me out here, right? I'm not saying that that's exactly the model they'll follow, but each dungeon, right? Each village has its own story and characters. And that can be its own, you know, if you could in theory flush that out, and that could be part of a bigger overall narrative. And what if they were to go in a direction where it ends up being more like Harry Potter, where you have seven movies? It could be. You know, they have a plan. I think they know how many movies they want. When you bring that up, I actually feel that idea of possibly breaking up the movie. If they went to adapt Ocarina of Time, if they broke it up into three movies, like the first movie, Child Link, and the movie literally ends with him pulling out the Master Sword, right? And then the first half of his adult life and the second half of his adult life as the last two movies, I honestly will be keen with that. I will be. It actually worked pretty well because there's nine dungeons. Yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah, they have the right division points for that. And then, you know, like ending off the first movie in the trilogy with him pulling out the Master Sword will be a great ending to like, ooh, you know, just like set up. And then we get the like, obviously they're gonna have to transition actors. We're like, it's gonna be a younger link. And then when he pulled out the Master Sword, the movie ends with him, you seeing like the new actor, and then like, oh, that's the setup for part two. You know what's cool about that though, right? Like just in terms of like how movies are told, right? Like they are done in kind of three parts. There's like the opening act, the middle act, and the final act. So it's interesting that like, if they were to do it in three, like if a movie has kind of three major quests to combine to one, like it, from that perspective, it works. Whoa, a random out of nowhere. Is it in your conversation, Andres? Yeah, go ahead. No, I was just, I was just saying, I like the idea of three. I think in general that works for how, for telling a good story. So yeah, the trilogy has always worked really well for movie stories. Again, I really don't want this to be based on a video game. I think it's just open enough for so much criticism, like based on any of the video game stories. Well, I mean, it's a good concern to have because it makes me wonder, like how are they going to adapt this into the story? Because Zelda games are about going to dungeons and then getting the keys that you need to accomplish something, right? Like, so how do they handle, like, but that mechanic is created for a game. So what do they do to tell a narrative that still feels Zelda? Easy, that's easy. All right. What they can do is they take the basic story of the legend of Zelda, right? Put it into a format that is very, very open to the mainstream media. They have to explain what the Triforce is, explain Hyrule, and explain Zelda and Link. And so just telling a story that is kind of very generic, not going too much into the lore. And I'm pretty sure that at the beginning, there'll probably be some kind of intro at the beginning of explaining the Triforce and this and this and that. And if you look at Lord of the Rings, how they explain the beginning of the first movie, it's like they give you a little bit of narrative on how to, they paint the picture for you. So when you go into the movie, it's like, oh, okay, so this happened. This is where we are in the story. And it's easy to follow. I think that's what they're going to do. They're not going to base it on any other game, hopefully not at all. They're going to do a brand new story, but with the same exact, okay, there's a Triforce. There's Link. There's the person. The big element, yeah. Yeah. There's Hyrule. Jingle. No, no. And I don't want to see Tingle. I want to see Beto. Tingle and Stingy to Beto. Come on. No, you get none. You get none. Good bye. You lose. No, no, no. Tingle none of that. We all agree, Deku trees in it. Oh yeah. That's Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman. How about a great, are we going to get a great fairy? Yes. I don't know. I don't know. You can't put too much into the movie. Like, yeah, we have to get the bad input. Not old input, but bad input. If we can do that. Are you talking like age of calamity? Infa? Is that what you're saying? You're telling me. Yeah, yeah. I think infa is going to be like Zelda's kind of like guardian or kind of like... Confidant. Yeah, exactly. It's not going to be like an old lady or a young lady. It's going to be like an older than Zelda. Something that Zelda looks like. Maybe like a big cousin or sister or something. Yeah, something like that. You know what we were talking about? How if it was a trilogy to end the first movie? Pulling the master sort of like arguing time or the end of the first movie. And it's just a red balloon that floats up. Yeah. Tingle, baby. Tingle's turn is the same. No. What if Tingle's like the Jar Jar Binks of this trilogy? Bro, I would hate that, man. Bro, you guys are going to be like... You guys are going to try to set up like, oh, Link is going to have this party of like warriors, kind of like, you know, the quest of Fellowship of the Ring. And then Tingle's going to be added to the photo. That would be so cool. Well, okay. I don't think Tingle should be part of it. I think Tingle would be part of it. I will say this. I will say this. The Fellowship. It's highly likely it's... He's on a solo quest, but I do think that... Oh, it might have a fairy. I do think that like, because this is a movie, and we have to remember in the context of a movie, we can't just have a Link running around, saying nothing, just doing things the entire time. Actually, you know... Oh, he's going to talk. He's going to talk. He's going to talk. There has to be a party. I think there will be a party. He's got to have a companion. He's got to have someone venturing with him. And there could be a party. Navi and Epona. There we go. Goran doesn't talk. You know, more than others. Speaking of like, having a group, do you think Zelda is going to be more actively involved? Not saying she's not in the games. But like, I think I want to travel with Link. So I'm thinking of the Mario movie. Remember how like Peach became like a badass? Yeah. What if Zelda is actually the lead character and Link's a side character? I don't know. Then it wouldn't be the legend of Zelda because the legend is told by other people. But it can be her movie universe. This is not... That's like, that's the different... So I, listen, I want Zelda... This isn't about the rings. I want Zelda to be an important character. But basically... There will be three important characters. Link, Zelda again, or I think they all should be equally important. But the way they're going to go about it is that they're going to, I feel like they're going to take bits and pieces of everything that we've seen so far and kind of make one story with what we have so far. For example, I say at the beginning, they show bits and pieces of Link kind of speaking into the kingdom and in meeting with Zelda as a kid and they're just playing together. Zelda, what are you doing? Well, Link kind of runs away and then they do that and time passes by as they grow old, become friends or whatever. And then something happens there where Zelda finds out something in her past and Link is there to protect her and goes into this adventure part. So I feel like it's going to be, as Zelda fans, we want to see certain things, but I feel like they're going to say, you know what, mainstream media, how can we tell this story so that everyone can follow along at the end of it? They want to buy the game. Because at the end... I got a prediction. Yeah. I got a prediction. You ready? So a part of Link's quest is going to be to find Zelda early on and he's going to run into a girl, a mysterious girl who's just kind of doing her own thing and you're going to travel alongside her, she's going to be part of the party and later into the story, it's going to be revealed that she's going to be the missing prince. But she's going to be kind of like a tomboy, like super capable. Like Aladdin. Like a tetra, really, right? Tetra, you know, from Wind Waker who ended up being the princess, but she also was pretty good at doing her own thing beforehand. So I like that idea. I also was thinking about the idea of like Zelda being very capable, but then Link being... Like there's something they could adapt. Like, you know, take various things from various games. They adapt from Breath of the Wild a little bit. Where Link is like, okay, they meet up, they do this setup and then at a certain point in the movie, like a fourth of the way into the movie, Link is like, you know, he tasks himself or is tasked by info, whoever, whatever, to be Zelda's guardian. But then Zelda is very capable on her own, right? But then we're going to places that Zelda needs to go to in order to unlock the mystery of the Triforce before Gandalf can. But then at like maybe two thirds into the movie, Gandalf's like, you! And then like, you know, Zelda gets snatched and then like that sets up the final battle. So what if we have a Triforce? What if they take the rings or whatever? Like the Mike Legend, what is it? The Lord of the Rings? Lord of the Rings? That kind of movie where they travel to find the ring or even Dragon Ball where the Dragon Ball split up and they go and they get, oh, the Triforce has split up. So basically three movies, we have to find each piece of a Triforce in each movie. There's seven pieces, like there's seven rings. There's one way or the other. Not even Winricker, the original Zelda, bro. Like Zelda's of the one, Zelda one's of the two. You know, it's like, oh, you're trying to piece together one part of the Triforce. And then you find out there's three. And then like, oh, and Ganondorf has one. Oh, no. And then that sets up the next movie, yeah. Here's your trilogy pitch, okay? So at the beginning of the first movie, you have your like exposition dump where they're like, hey, this is the Triforce. Here's the stuff that happened. There was this really evil guy named Ganondorf. But then we stopped him from being evil and he's sealed somewhere and he can't get out. He's stuck there. Oh, so you want to do the ancient evil type? Yeah. Like it's like the imprisoning war type thing. I like that. And then he's got an underling who's trying to bring him back. But to bring him back, he needs all three pieces of the Triforce. So he's running around trying to get the Triforce. And then Link somehow meets Zelda and she's like, hey, we need to also go get the Triforce so that they can't bring back this ancient evil. And then that's your three movies is going and trying to find the Triforce. And then the cliffhanger of the second movie is that the bad guy gets all three and then Ganondorf is revived and he's the final fight. Can you imagine? I don't want to lose this thought. Can you imagine that they like in this movie, that the party is Link, Zelda, and they're trying to prevent Ganondorf being resurrected. Link, Zelda, and Sorosla, right? But then he's like the old guys. Like, oh, he's teaching Link how to use a sword. He's teaching Zelda how to be a princess and like all the powers. And then no, he doesn't die at the end. It turns out he's agonizing him the whole time. And then he was like, ha, ha, stupid kids. And then he just revives Ganondorf and he kills them. Well, what if you don't even see Ganondorf in the first movie? And it's really we hear about him. But it's like Vati. I know. I bet he got there yet. Where am I carrying him? Here. Yeah, it's cool. Talking about bringing like it's brought up the ancient evil Ganondorf. And then we just someone's reviving him. And that's the whole first movie is trying to stop the person from reviving him. But who knows? So we can talk forever on potential story and plot lines, but what everyone wants to know is who the hell? And we were talking about this for a while. Holy shit. Yeah, who the hell are the main characters? Who do you guys want to see play the main characters? I'm going to be rude with you right now. A lot of people are sandbagging and making jokes. But y'all need to understand Tom Holland is actually on ironically a very viable possibility. And if it happens, I won't be mad. I mean, you have to look at his acting shops, go to Apple TV right now, Apple TV and watch his shows. He has a movie and he has a TV show. The guy is an incredible actor. Have you seen the impossible his first movie when he was like 12? Even at 12, he wasn't a he was a crazy actor. So like he was like, oh, he's into everything. I'm like, don't like it. Because he's good. We also can't not acknowledge that the producer of this movie worked on quite a few movies with Tom Holland. So if anyone's going to know the acting chops of Tom Holland, it's going to be the guy producing this movie. Yeah. Now we know why they went with Sony. They wanted to get Tom Holland his link. Maybe. Maybe. He's Spider-Man. The Legend of Zelda is part of the MCU. We're going to get Spider-Man in there. And then switch to Spider-Man. I do think. They put a Spider-Man easter egg in the background somehow would be like, of course. Oh, come on. Sony is part of the production company. Yeah. So they could literally Sony could allow them to put a Spider-Man easter egg. I don't think they would run the risk of pissing off Nintendo because they have a huge money maker. And with like one happens like a bit like the Spider-Man logo. Listen, I think the Zelda movie might have more potential than Mario movie. It could. But I mean, Mario movie has more staying power. Well, no, if you look at the, you know, you have your animated movie box office and then you're obviously your live action box office. The live action ones way bigger. Like that they make way more money. So the problem with the Mario movie is that a lot of parents are like, oh, but I don't want to watch a kids movie. Like I think it's perceived as a kids movie for a lot of people. Right. One perspective gives it a huge advantage. Greg is a lot of kids if I want to watch it. But I don't know which way it's going to go. I think it's hard to say. But I'm just saying there's so much potential here because Nintendo could have like a Harry Potter, like a Lord of the Rings style series on our hands, which is huge. We don't know enough about it where like, you know, any prediction you can make it could be really erratic because we don't even know the tone. Like it's all down to the tone of. Right. So is this more like the Hobbit or is this more like Lord of the Rings? Right. Because the Hobbit is like a more child friendly version Lord of the Rings. It's good. If they went in that direction, I'd be okay with that. And there was still three movies that actually, even though people weren't happy that they divided into three, I actually thought they were pretty good. Like they were enjoyable. But it kind of makes me think about something else though, that it sort of touches on some of the things we kind of been talking about. I don't think they can tell the whole story in one movie. Like there's no, I don't think there's any way that they could introduce Link, tell us the lore of Zelda and then, you know, fight Gandalf at the end, like and complete it all. That's what I'm saying. Just they're going to focus on one Triforce part in one movie. And at the end, there's like, oh, there's three. I'm telling you. Yeah. And one thing is that the first movie, the first movie will not be for fans. The first movie will be for people who don't know about the Legend of Zelda. They need to introduce a new audience. See, that's, I keep telling that to a lot of people. And they like, no, no, no, I'm like, bro, Nintendo is looking to sell a product that's going beyond that of the hardcore market. I'm telling y'all. And people are like, no, Zelda has enough stand. But I'm like, as much as Mario, it does not. And Zelda is really popular in certain regions, aside from like Mario being known globally. Right. So they really have to like, I agree with 100% Mike that like, what they're building is going to be something that's going to be applied to the casual market first and foremost. And a lot of people don't like the reality of that. But I mean, like, hey, you want to make a club cluster? The next cell is going to sell 40 million. Here we go. Dude, it's going to do it. I mean, it becomes that right after the movie. We say one Triforce part per movie. But do we think we get the Master Sword in the first movie? Or is that like a, you got to wait? We might see it. We might even get Lig try to pull it out, but he can't. Master Sword in the first movie. Master Sword gets powered up in the second movie. And then Master Sword full power in the final movie. As much as I want the Master Sword to show up as soon as possible, I really think that's going to be like, that's a second movie weapon, bro. That's a second movie weapon. That's an ending scene. Well, maybe, maybe, well, so there's like, maybe they can make mention of the Master Sword at the end, right? Like maybe like the closing scene is like, just like a, a quick glimpse of like the Secret Rado or something. I think the end of the first movie is going to have something that Zelda friends are like, oh, is either going to be like Gandor being resurrected or a shot of the Secret Rado, or like a look at Zelda. But I think Zelda's going to probably be an important character early on, even in the first movie. So probably not that, but something that a lot of Zelda fans are going to be really hyped about as like that epilogue scene. Yo, that the, the first on the movie is going to need a Shadow the Hedgehog end credit. It's going to be, it has to be that level. It has to be the level of Shadow the Hedgehog end credit, bro. I ain't no want no tails, no none. Just kidding. Oh, but what if we got Minda? Now that would be interesting. We're not ready for that conversation. I think they're going to focus on the character, the top five characters that are more of a constant in each game. Like, Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Impa, and Beto. Beto. What? No, no, no, no. I feel like we've really glossed over something here. What? Tell them. Something I'm really concerned about now that I think about it, especially given how movies go nowadays, is if they include the other races that aren't highly in, how is that going to look? Are they going to go the all practical route? Oh, no. Are they going to go the CGI route? Are we going to have some really bad-looking CGI Zora? They better not make Gauron just look like. Oh, look at Avatar. Look at Avatar. With Avatar? Prostetics with Zora. This is with Avatar. After Avatar, I think everything is possible. Okay. Yeah, you know, and then, you know, anime productions, they can do stuff. They can only do like three frames every hour on the render machine to pull it off. Yeah, I don't think they'll be main characters. I think they'll hear about it. Maybe see something, but they won't be like on screen. That sounds a little racist. I also don't think this Zelda movie has an Avatar level. Go broke. Let's go anyways. I mean, Nintendo's financing it 50 percent. Yeah, Spider-Man is an Avatar level budget. The Marv-Rose movie clearly had a huge budget, right? Like, if the Marv-Rose movie had like... It only had a hundred million. It only had a hundred million budget. And it made a billion. I bet that means three million. Keep the budget low. I just think that if they thought to do live action, it's because they wouldn't be able to pull it off. Kind of cave in a local park. All right, here, look. Here, here, here, here, here. Sorry, he said shoot it on a budget. Top five characters. Ganon, Link, Prince of Zelda, Impa, and, um, Rauru. No, it says here the, um... It should be Rauru. Epona, Epona? Epona. That's a horse, though. Technically, Epona is really only part of one game, but... But if Link's going to quest, he's going to need a horse. Yeah, but it's not. What do you mean? Epona is in Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask. In Twilight Princess. Also, and it's sort of in Breath of the Wild. She's summonable, and I don't count that. She's like summonable. But the thing is, though, remember that, that, um, Game Awards event where they mentioned Epona? Link with Link in Breath of the Wild. Come on. Miyamoto's like, oh, isn't that Epona? Like, that's how he said it. Yeah, but that was before the game came out. It was like, oh... I'm just saying you can make an argument that Epona is kind of in Breath of the Wild. No, she is in, but I mean, summonable, but not like it. Very important. I get how excited we are. Can we get back to talking about the casting, though? Because literally, we like Scott to Tom Holland, and then we just stopped. You just stood there as Ganondorf. Broadly speaking, I would like a bunch of no names. No. And I know that's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. It's not helping. But it should. They need Star Power to sell this movie. They're selling you a product. I would rather a bunch of no names that have good effects and be able to see Gorenza or us that look like Gorenza or us. But listen, listen. If they have no names, they're making the game just for the fans. If they want to expand, they want to bring in the audience, and they need. They need Star Power. All right. So who's playing Raru? Who's totally going to be in the game? They could have put a bunch of your, you know, actual voice actors for the Mari movie and said they went with big name actors. They're doing big name actors. They're doing big name actors. I just, Tom Holland is like, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Maybe Intel is just going to go all out here. Like I, maybe I think that's, I, I. The fact that they're doing live action to me just says that they are prepared to go all out here. I always felt that it was safe to predict an animated movie from an illumination. The fact that they're not doing that just tells me that tells like, no, you know what? Look at the sales of Breath of the Wild. Look at the sales that you think of. Look how well the Mari movie did. Look how good we're just doing overall right now. I think I'll tell us, we got this. It's just like, I think they're ready to go all out and make an epic movie. So I have my, I got my main characters already, my actors. So for, for a link, I'm going to stick with Tom Holland. Okay. For Zelda, I'm going to go with Emma Watson. Because British action is beautiful. For, yeah, she'll be great. For, for the great Deku tree. I'm going to go with Morgan Freeman. Like his voice. Yeah, no, that's, that's a good cast. For, for, for Ganon. I'm going to steal this one from Paul, Paul said in the other podcast. I'm going to go with Jim, no, not Jim. Henry Cavill, Henry Cavill. Henry Cavill, Henry Cavill has Ganondorf? As Ganon, as Ganon. Y'all eat your elbow, bro. Hello. Henry Cavill can't be evil. I know he can. I know he can, but, but with the, with the, with the, he has the chops. He knows how to use a sword. He's good. He loves, he's a video game, you know, enthusiast. So I'm guessing you do his Warhammer. Shit, bro. Keep him away. Oh yeah. He's Warhammer, right? Yeah. He's doing the, what about Jason Momoa as Ganondorf? I heard that too. And I'm like, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Right. He's got, he's got the build, you know, he has the, you know, the height. He's too light. The height. Yeah. I mean, he also has like the darker, the darker features, right? Like kind of like, I can say that because I'm also, you know, I'm on big budget. The way in the Rock Johnson is Ganondorf. There you go. That's another one, I feel like. No, no, no. We don't need another movie with the Rockin. But apparently, like I did some research, I did some research on this. Apparently he has a stipulation in his acting contracts that he's not allowed to lose. All right. The Rock? Yeah. Awesome. So that's like, he can't be Ganondorf because. What about Terry Crews? Is that true? Yeah. He's not allowed to lose in his movies. He doesn't have the acting chops for that. He's more like, yeah. Terry, he doesn't know. I don't know. He's a good host. I love him in 99. I love them in 99. And he's a good host and he has good comedy chops, but not like a serious character. You know what's hilarious? Someone in my chat a couple of days ago said Shaq. And I'm like, listen. Shaq has everything going for him to be Ganondorf except acting abilities. And I love Shaq. And I think he's hilarious and he's great on the mic. He does not have the acting ability. He has everything else but the acting abilities. So I personally, I feel like it should be someone that can pass off as someone that comes from the desert from like an ethnic perspective. So that's why I'm thinking it should be someone like tan with dark hair. So my other choice was this guy from his last name is Alba. He's just Alba. He's just Alba. Yeah. Yeah. Knuckles. Yeah. So because he has, he's a really good actor. And the guy has an amazing actor. Yeah. I can fight too. So. Oh yeah. Oh no. I didn't like, mm. Yeah. Bro. And he could be, the thing is for someone that's Ganondorf, we need someone that can be eloquent and cultured but can still go crazy. Yeah. And he does both of those roles. He's done both of those roles in one movie and separately in other movies. Like he can be like, all right, Link, have some tea. And it's like, oh, you didn't drink the tea. I'm about to bust you up. You know, he could be both. Plus he's in the office. Yeah. You can't, you can't mess with that. It was in the office. Okay. I hear Emma Watson is Zelda. And I'm so conflicted on that. I don't know. I really liked her, I really liked her in Beauty and the Beast. I thought she was cool in Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the Beast. There is somebody put a really good alternative in the chat and I Googled it and I actually am kind of into it. Oh, McKenna Grace. Her most recent thing that I've seen was the new Ghostbusters. She was like the main girl in the new Ghostbusters, which blew my mind because she's only like 19 years old. So she fits. I saw Ghostbusters after life. I haven't seen. Oh, she's a new trailer. There's a new trailer by the way that looks for the new for the. Okay. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. I see it. Okay. Sure. The guy from Dune, the little kid from Dune. Timothy Chalamet. Yeah. So that's another one I said for a link and I'm like, I could see it. I see the vision. No. All right. I got one for the King of Hyrule. Even tag teaming on this. I figured out who gave him a Norfus. Are you ready? Are you ready? Yeah. No. Wow. Looks like you lost. Got it. I got it. He's new, but he's John Cena. John Cena? John Cena. I was going to say James Earl Jones, but James Earl Jones is retired. And he's Omega. Like he's super old. He's also very old. I'm going to carry. Don't carry from giving him. Now, we need Ryan Reynolds to carry him. Carry from giving him. I'm telling you, Benedict Cumberbatch as Zant. That's like the most perfect casting like ever. That's him. He's him. All right. I got your King of Hyrule, though. Ready? Sean Bean. Ned Stark from Game of Thrones. Oh, okay. The guy that died and get in Lord of the Rings. And then he's going to die again as the King of Hyrule. Everything. And then he dies. You know what? You know, this is the contract simulation that the Rockettes always went. I think he has a contract simulation. I always have to die. Yeah. Sean Bean. I'm like, wait, Mr. Bean. Roy Atkinson. And I'm like, oh, no. He's a hilarious. But he does such a good. He would be. Come on. Is there anyone better? Or the King of Hyrule? As long as we don't get Aquafina as Navi or any kind of fairy? I want Aquafina. I want Aquafina. No. No. Would you like a water drink? No, the Agent Atkinson with the raspy voice. She looks so fine. She's from the Shang-Chi and the what? 20-Wayne Rings? I forgot. Shang-Chi in the 10-Wayne. She played the Seagull in The New Little Mermaid. And she's the last dragon in The Last Dragon. She's also a really good martial artist. Robert wants Batista. Not as Ganondorf, but he would make a really good goon. I think Batista would be a good Ganondorf. But the thing is, he said before that, like he's trying to step away from those type of roles. He wants to do more dramatic. Like serious dramas and stuff. So the court's right out on that one. Yeah, like that camera only made recently. Okay, so I actually think The Rock could be in the Zelda movie. No, not as Ganondorf, but as Deruk. You know, I would like that. Yeah. And therefore, he could still always win. Yeah. Yeah. I see it. The Rock. The Rock. The Rock, wait. Nintendo has the potential to do the funniest shit ever. Like, bro. No. Hold on. Yes. Like who's the guy from Guardians of the Galaxy? He could also be a really good goon. I got it. Hold on. Hold on. Dave, what's Batista? Batista? Yeah, we were just talking about him. Okay. Hold on. I got it. It's Dwayne Deruk Johnson. And I mean, how about the voice actor for Ganon himself? Matt Mercer. As I don't know. I don't know. I just have a problem. He has a good Ganondorf in the game. I don't know. In the game for like. Yeah. Very well. The voice acting is different. Physical acting and voice acting, they're like different. They're taking them actors for the animated movie. They're going to go voice actors for the live action. Oh, here we go. Wow. No, it's flopping with the cross and the beams. No. Oh, where's Chris Kratz? Where is Chris Kratz? He's going to do whatever. I've actually seen Zelda movie. Like they got to find a spot for good old Chris. Uh, tingle. No. You ready? Ready? He's side on. He's side on. I would hate that. It could be Zelda's dad, you know? No, no, that's Sean Bean. No, he should be. If they find a way to put Malon in the game, he can be Malon's dad. Talon? No. Because he says there's a Mario reference in Ocarina of Time. If you're trying to shove Chris Pat into this movie, he could be one of those weirdos juggling the balls in the castle town. Man. You all right? Yeah. I think if we're in the Mario movie, you're automatically not in the Zelda movie. How about that? Yeah. Yeah. I know. So Princess Zelda. What are we doing? I don't really know a lot of like young, well-known or up-and-coming actresses. I would have said Bonnie Taylor Joy, but she's already Princess Peach. Yeah. So one Eric throw was Chloe Grace Moretz. Yeah, I like that too. And I'm like, that's like the only, I know, song. I like Emma Watson still. She's elegant and beautiful. It just depends. Well, I guess. You love that fan art. You're like, yes. Everyone's using that. Because it's like the only thing out there. There's like not really anything else. Yeah. It helps to paint. That art has got Tom Holland so ingrained in my head. The prophecy is going to be true. The prophecy is real. So I'm not saying I'm against Tom Holland, but it kind of depends on what direction we go with Link. Like if you go with like a Twilight Princess like Link, who's like kind of like a cowboy, like Tom Holland is a spring cowboy to be like. He's a little like, like this link would be someone who's someone who very clearly is athletic. I'm not saying Tom Holland isn't, but you know, there's there's a little bit of like a difference in like stereotype there. Like maybe this link is already blatant, like someone who's very athletic and can rough and tumble like right from the get go. I'm not saying he's going to be like, you know, a six foot, six, 300 pound muscle. Man, but like Tom Holland does all his own stunts. He's the one he like, I'm pretty sure he's like the only one who can actually back flip as Link without strings. Yep. You're right. Right. What about, um, what's her name? The girl from Hunger Games. That's Zelda. Yeah, that's her. That's Zelda. What's the name of the girl from Hunger Games? I can't remember her name. The main girl. She was like, she was mystique and she was, uh, the girl is in every single movie. They were just in that random comedy that came out with Little Kid. Yeah. That girl. What is her name? I mean, Hunger Games? Yeah. Yeah. Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence. There you go. Yeah. Erin's was saying, I mean, Eric, you're talking too much. If they picked her for Princess Zelda, that would be shocking. She has like a completely different like, I mean, Look at Impa. Look at Impa. See, that's how this girl, she fits the role. That doesn't look like Impa. Yeah, it says Impa on a dinghy. Yeah, but that's not, I don't know what that's like. That's one of the great fairies there. That's great fairies, bro. I'm like. Amelia Clark is Zelda. No. Sorry. Oh, you guys have a good idea. No. I really had to think about that one. I want to go back to the, how Link is going to look. So I agree that eventually he will don the green tunic, but I bet you there'll be a lot of scenes where he doesn't. I don't think he starts with it. Yeah. Oh, absolutely not. No. Yeah. You know what? That could even be one of the things like maybe he earns it. The end credits. Maybe he has to prove himself the hero and that's the first arc. That's the first movie. No, I don't think he has to prove himself. I think he's chosen and he's battling with it, with the choice of whether he's worthy or not or not. There you go. That's our Chris Pratt's involved, by the way. Free Metroid hat. Just the Mario picture in the window of Hyrule Castle. Just like an awkward time. 100%. Oh yeah. That's fine. I'm okay with that. It's an Easter egg reference in the background. Yeah, but something that fits. We've also discussed this quick because there was, if someone did Super Chat in here says, Free Metroid hat, what do you think? Who do you think should play King Zora? Jace Mavola again. No, Vincent. The guy who plays Kingpin. What? What's his name? Vincent Defoe. Like... Rafael? He's really good. Yeah, Vincent D'Affrio. Is that how you say his name? Oh, okay. I see that. D'Affrio. Yeah. Yeah. King Zora. I see that. Mweep. Mweep. 100%. Who's the guy from the boys that likes to F-squids? I haven't watched the boys yet, so... I wouldn't know. Who's going to play the Rito? Who's going to be a Rivalry-like character? They're going to get real birds. And it's just going to be a bunch of chickens on set. And that's it. Not the Yoko. Put the boom mic down and all you hear is like... Thank you. Thank you. Grand performance. Oscar winner right there. I don't think the video is going to be in this movie. Yeah, they might be... I don't know that we're going to get all the races. Yeah. Honestly, I think they just keep it highly and then call it a day. And maybe Gerudo, because they're more human than any of the other ones. Have Gerudo. Hey, yeah, we don't know what direction the movie's going. I mean, yeah, we don't know what they're going to do. If they do go lower the rings type of traveling, finding the ring, the thing that they're probably going to visit each area, you know, its zone to... And then try to defeat something there and then move on or whatever. Sure. Possible. All right. Well, that was a really long time talking about a movie we know very, very little about, because we all... We're still all huge fans. We're still all huge fans. That's right, right, right. I mean, there's someone who's probably just in the announcement. They just go all over again when they give us any new information, any... All right, all right, last question, last question. Who's going to play Goma? Goma. Goma? That was a joke. I mean, they can make Goma talk and then like a voice actress. I mean, what if all the bosses talked? Will we get angry cuckoos? Cuckoos, whatever. They lower the rings. The giant spider talked. Yeah, that's not... I don't want to remember that. Here's the thing. Here's my last point. Is there really hope that with this movie, they don't go really hard on CGI, because that is kind of like the hip thing nowadays is everything's got to be CGI. I really want them... Practical and CGI. Yeah, to go more like Lord of the Rings. Read dragons, I guess. Something like Pirates of the Caribbean, I watched that last year and it had that really nice mix of we have practical stuff, but we also have CGI. And because we use more practical stuff, it doesn't look dated in three years because we've advanced CGI again. So I just wanted to have like practical because you're doing a medieval fantasy movie. Well, I look at what's so wrong, so it looks good to me. See, it depends on how they do it. Because if you look back at the original Lord of the Rings trilogy and what they did 20 years ago, most of that still looks really good today. But they had a mix. They had a mix. There's a lot of makeup and costume work. Yes. Not a prosthetics a lot. And you know what? It was awesome. And it helped it stand the test of time to the point now where they have that new Amazon Prime series and it doesn't look like it's so vastly different from the original stuff. It seems like it all fits in, even though we have better technology today. So I would like to see them do that because it makes it more timeless. And if they say they do a trilogy and they revisit it again in a decade or two after, they still feel like it's still part of the same universal. Man, I'm just thinking about how they can present fantastical areas in this with good application of CGA technology. Just imagine Zora's domain in Goran City. And there's no way they're not having Zora's in Goran's. Listen, the real question is, who's willing to travel to California for the premiere? It'll be the one time I make an exception to go to California. I mean, I would go for that. Yeah. I just have to be invited. Yeah. No, you don't. You just sneak in. I'm gone. Oh, you're just sneaking in. Look, it's Nintendo. I'll say that. But I'm not going to seek it out. You put on a construction worker uniform and you just walk in like you own the place. Yeah, talk to Paul. Yeah, talk to Paul. Paul got connections. Nah, you put on a really nice suit. If you can get me invited to the premiere, I'll show up. But I'm not going to try to like weasel my way in and be like, oh, I'm important. Let me in. I'm good. I can totally go to my local theater and enjoy it just fine. I would be able to. You know what's new sometimes when you go to the premiere? You can't talk about it after. Oh, yeah, you're right. So then you're like stuck waiting for everyone else to watch it anyways. Yeah. Well, it's not, I mean, it's exciting, but the only people you can talk about it. You can take the time to make a really epic video about it. And then what I probably do, like if all of us went, was I'd be like, hey, let's pre-record a podcast to drop the day it comes out. That'll be good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That would probably be the only thing I could think of to do. Obviously, in addition to you could, I could get an impression video already done and ready to go right away. All right. Well, can I ask you, I probably shouldn't do this. Oh, all right. All right. Just say it quick. Quick. Is it keeping it clean? Quick vibes. Quick vibes. Quick vibes. Was this announcement related to the Dr. Serkan Toto tweet? Yes. For the, oh, for the like the re-zel the thing that you were saying? He said ZR 2023. Yeah, ZR. I don't think so. I don't think so. I think this was related to what Jeff Grubbs said. Yeah, this is Jeff Grubbs. Yeah. Sure. I think his source knew that this was being announced this year. Yeah. That makes sense. I think this would have gotten announced a lot sooner if the writers and actors didn't go on strike because they could have started a lot sooner. Yeah. Like this would have been a June or July type thing if everybody wasn't on strike. Yeah. And they wanted to wait until they could actually start working on the movie. Even though they knew they were going to do it, they wanted to wait until they could actually start working to say, Hey, we're working on this thing. Yeah, I can see it. See that. Yeah. I guess I just don't know what ZR would stand for. I mean, I wouldn't count it as a reveal. We've been talking about it for a while. What I mean is if this movie is what he was alluding to, because I don't see it's not a reveal. It's an announcement. Yeah, I don't think it was. Yeah, I don't think it's a reveal. So with the strike over and the today, when do you see this movie coming out? 2026. 2026. 2026. So next year, we'll get an internal direct with the cast announcement, right? Next year we'll be cast, because they'll start filming next year. February or even or the June one or something. Yeah, they'll do it. They'll do it the day of Mario kind of like every direct. Give us a little bit of. It's 2026 when we get 2D Zelda. No. Ideally, we got 2D bar where the movie came out for the The way that's one of the throw his little hat in the ring here and say Martin Ford. Martin Ford. Oh, I never get up. Yeah, like I don't remember. He's like, this guy is huge. What the heck? Massive. No. I mean, is he an actor or is he a bodybuilder? Oh, he cruddy. He's here. What the heck? That guy is. Yeah. I mean, yeah, he could be he could be. He is an actor. He is an actor. He's been himself in the fast saga. He is Lieutenant Sue. Dude, he was in the Kingsman. Look at him. Look at that. Oh, yo, he's going to be. Yo, this guy is going to be shell con. In Mortal Kombat. Yeah. In the Mortal Kombat 2, that's being that's coming out. The Mortal Kombat 2 movie. I just I just understand by what I said, I feel like it should be someone that that looks like not from Western Europe, but you know, looks like they could be from the desert. And then where is it in the real world? Where would they put Hyrule? You know, what accent would it be? Would it be British? European. European. I would like somewhere within the UK. Well, Scotland. Yeah, you think about it like all of them hyper successful high fantasy stuff. That is like, okay. What they also gave Zelda a British accent a breath of the wild. Yeah. Yeah. And Joy C. J. is the same. We're all going to the premiere. It's not negotiable. You better tell Nintendo that because I'm not that connect. I would love to go. But I have to be invite. All right. So we do have other topics. Furukawa, he didn't say switch to out loud, but he was definitely talking about it in a way that was surprising because Nintendo does not typically comment on rumors. And Furukawa said that was a water era, Nintendo. I am not a water. I am going to comment on rumors. Switch to rumors. Not real. Have a good day. He's lying. He's lying. He's lying. 100% lying. Well, some people, the 2025 team is now fighting hard. Like, you see, you're all wrong. 2025 is the early season. It's still coming next year. No, it could come out 25. I don't care, but he's lying. It's possible it comes out 2025, but I'm still 100% lying. Other people look at the switch sales. Oh, look, they're a little bit ahead of next year. Yeah. And they're still projecting lower because they're not projecting as high about holiday season. And by the way, it's good that the switch is still doing good. You want it to do good to go into the next system. Exactly. Right. We don't want to wait until it dies out. Yeah. You don't want it to be dead. So, like, it's actually good for the transition. Q1 was only good because the tears of the kingdom. Yeah. You don't have tears of the kingdom. And they don't have that mega game. Like, yeah, Mario Wonder is great, but it's already out. The sales didn't get boosted that much from it. It didn't break 10 million, did it? On its opening weekend. No, 4.3 million. 4.3 million, which is still like the fastest on Mario. That's in two weeks. That wasn't even up to me. Oh, yeah. So, it's such a significant difference. Celebrate. Oh, yeah. I mean, I bet Mario Wonder will continue to sell for years to come, but... Oh, yeah. No, it's going to have way harder staying power than Zelda. Yeah. Yeah. I can remember now when I do two, I want to do this. Although, apparently, Breath of the Wild is selling really well. Like, I think it's sold... Breath of the Wild sold half a million in the last, like, three months, right? Like, it's pretty good. I think it's right now sitting at 31 million right now. That's what we're sitting at right now. Yeah. Yeah. So, I don't know, Furukawa was shooting down all the rumors. He shot down, like, oh, that we told companies anything in 2022, even though we have legal court documents that say otherwise. Exactly. He shot down that we showcased the system overseas, which is kind of hilarious, because the reports never said they showcased the system. The reports... Right. Demo. There was no... There was no sister. There was no hardware. He literally... He literally told on himself, and I'm like, my God. Like, I get it. You have to say this in front of investors, but like... Like, you listen to his wording. He's specifically not getting detailed, because it gives him plausible deniability when they announce it, and some of this stuff. Absolutely true. So, it's not lying. He's just being misleading. Yeah. Yeah. Which by the way, Nintendo has literally just outright lied in the past. Like, say, we don't have a new version of this coming. Oh, just kidding. It's the next day. 2DS. Here you go. It's the next day. We have a new version, and sorry, we lied to you yesterday. You just... Aren't they not actually allowed to lie to investors, though? Um... They can't. I feel like we've had this conversation before, and we're like, hey, they're not actually able to lie to the investors. Like, they can't tell blatantly false things. And that's why the wording is so interesting, because it's not really denying very specific things. It's talking in a generality. Like, they said, like, we don't know what... He said overseas. Okay, overseas. Yeah. They can be anything. The games, Tom. That's the only thing that was being shown at, but... And remember, he says... He said that, oh, those rumors about the Switch 2 are inaccurate, right? It's like, oh, it doesn't mean like, is it still coming? When's it coming? Are you building it? Like, you know, it's not answering those questions. No, he did say, yeah, we're working on new hardware. Yeah. He actually said, no one's talking about that. Everyone's like, oh, see? Switch 2 can't... They're not doing anything. Well, no one's talking about the fact that he said we're working on new hardware, because he's been saying that for three years. They're always working on new hardware. Yeah, it's like, no one thinks that's report worthy, because, yeah, he... But like, if you're going to act like they're not doing anything... I think it also is worth noting that we didn't get a revision this year, but we've been getting revisions every two years. So... Yeah. It's kind of odd. I think it's coming next year. It's coming. I don't know, you know, why Furokawa chose to comment on rumors when they usually don't, but his comments are so vague that it's just... This is... There's a history of Nintendo saying really vague things to deny, to push current sales only to like, literally very short. The funny thing is, the track record is when they do something like this, they actually reveal the damn thing pretty soon after. Game awards. Game awards. Game awards. Through the history, when they go into the general deniability possible, when they unveil it, you know... In fact, I'll even say not only is it possible, it's plausible. It's 100% not possible. Here's what came out of the game of the year. I don't think it's going to happen. Here's what came out of the game of the year. But it's going to get game of the year. It's going to get game of the year. Switch to nothing this year whatsoever. And even if it's going to be this year and next year, Nintendo's going to announce it on their own terms, not on the place that they're going to announce. Yeah. Yeah. There's so many sales going on. There's so many bundles and ambitions that they released over the holiday season sale. So, you know... So, my take here on stock, I think there's going to be something at the game awards. And going back to the Circa on Toto tweet, maybe there is going to be a Zelda remake that they have early on for Switch to its cross-gen. Maybe they show that off. Interesting. Sticking on the Switch to topic, because there was other things in the financials. They talked about how... Because you guys know, like, NSO is a paid subscription. So, we have our cloud-safe backups are part of that and all of this. Well, now they said, Nintendo accounts are going to be a long-lasting thing that's going to keep track of all of your purchases. Well, in your save data, they didn't say tied to NSO. They said tied to Nintendo accounts, which they already told us back in 2021 is going on to the next system. Like, they're keeping Nintendo accounts. I almost... They're keeping track of our purchases. They're keeping track of our savings. Like, that shows to be like... Wow. Saved through? Yes. They said saves too. Wow. But that's like, you basically just telling us there's backwards compatibility in the next system. Yeah. Long-lasting. Long-lasting as a new system comes out next year in 2025 and boop, you don't have your data anymore. I think it's interesting, right, because you look at some of the charts they put out, like you talked about how the plan on supporting Switch walled into its eighth year and all that. Yeah. Some people like to look at that and argue, okay, this means Switch 2 is not coming out anytime soon, but that's ignoring the likelihood that they're going to support Switch for a few years to come the same way they treated 3DS. 3DS was still getting published titles from Nintendo in 2019, two years after Switch came out. Yeah. So, you know, I think they're going to push Switch for as long as they can. But the interesting part is, by doing this and still putting out games, when Switch 2 comes out and is backwards compatible, that's going to, it's going to really benefit them. Yeah. They're going to keep that momentum going because they have such strong software sales right now. They actually, what, they up their forecast by $5 million for software, which is really good. They're not, I think that, to me, that was the best part of the news for me that they mentioned that they wanted to break that cycle of keeping a console for a certain period of time, that the Switch will be continuing to support it even with games, hardware, updates and stuff, well into the next generation in the console. And so, I mean, that's good news, overall. It's also interesting that that's a talking point right now because Nintendo doesn't want people to lose faith in supporting the Switch with all the Switch 2 speculation right now. The reason Nintendo is going to deny Switch 2 is because they want to put sales as much as possible. So they're going to say things to strengthen. Exactly. We got the holiday season coming up right now. And there's so many bundles that they've like put, like they duct taped together. More bundles than ever before. That Smash one doesn't look good. I don't like it. You don't like the console? I like the Black Dog, the Black Dog. Is that the only Black Dog? The Black Dog is cool. There's a Black Dog in the other OLED, the Neon Joycon one. So that's not a new dog. Wait, yeah, I thought it was, oh, I thought it was a gray dog because I got the white one. So like, you know. No, I looked at it because I thought it was. I mean, I just assumed it. I just, it just, it's just from something. Yeah, I mean, I think that was you. Yeah, I think I had it before. Do you know something you can really do with any of these bundles is like the Smash one, they're bringing back the Smash Joycon. Yeah, I don't like those. Yeah, but that's that original Smash dog. That was cool. Yeah, but they didn't bring back the Smash. And we're not getting that back. Nope. Yeah, so. I also know someone mentioned in the chat, the Amoeba restocks, which I know is like a big, like, oh, they're announcing Switch 2. Smash bundle. That's what it is. Yeah, Smash bundle. It makes more sense. Yeah. Yep. That's, I mean, literally it fits all the Amoeba. Except, well, I mean, I guess, but what about the Metroid Amoeba? I mean, Samus is in there. Yeah. I mean, we have Metroid Dread and Metroid Prime Remaster came out. It's officially across 3 million. Numbers are in. It is a 5.7. Yep. Anyways. And then the last topic is really just going over just some other interesting things from the financials. How about Super Mario Wonder being the fastest Super Mario games, like the fastest selling Super Mario game of all time? Pretty interesting. I love it. Does it deserve it? I think it does. Yes, the game's amazing. I love it. Yeah, it's good. I mean, I don't know what your opinion is. I don't, you weren't on for it. You weren't on for it. I thought that game was so fire. I'm 100% in it right now. I mean, I'm working on it. I love it too. I don't. So when you say deserve, I'll say yes, but I don't want that to be construed as, I think it's the best Mario game ever because it's not the best Mario game ever. It's a very good one. That's the best 2D Mario game ever. I mean, yeah, I agree. That's the, that, that, that, I think that's pretty good. I think it's in the debate. Yeah, it's a good argument to have, for sure, for sure. I mean, I, I, it might be my, it might be my favorite 2D Mario ever. We'll see, but it's probably, yeah. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. Basically all I'm saying is, it's not better than Mario Odyssey or Mario Galaxy. Yeah, but that's the 3D, 2D Mars. Yeah, that's, I like it better than Mario Odyssey. I'll take. Now that's a hot. That's just, I just think that's just your personal taste. Like you want a real hot taste? That's just your opinion, man. I like Mario. You're gonna have a real hot taste next week. I'm about to go Akari No Time is a really horrible 3D transit. No, no, no, no, no. Don't. Real hot take. I personally like New Super Mario Bros. Wii more than Mario Odyssey. I just was not a huge fan of it. New Super Mario Bros. Wii? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Is that, is that, well, hold on a minute. Let me ask you, let me just for clarity. Is that an indictment on Mario Odyssey or is that a praise on Mario Bros. Wii? Both. You monster. Listen, I just, I think Galaxy is better than Odyssey. I don't like Galaxy at all. No, I still say Galaxy 2 is the best 3D Mario. Actually, let me. I like Bowser's Fury to me. That's the best one of all. I think 3D land is better than 3D land and 3D world are better than Odyssey. I'll die on that hill. Yeah. I love 3D land though. I love 3D land. 3D land and Bowser's Fury. I'm just, I'm just going to not respond because I have nothing nice to say. Listen, Bowser's Fury is our introduction to an open world Mario like little by little. You know what? Bringing up all these Mario things, by the way. I do agree with you on Bowser's Fury. Increasing sales of like six different Mario games. Over a million in the last quarter. That's the strat. Damn, it was coming. Yeah, that's crazy. That's the greatest thing. Pikmin 4. Yes. Billion. Pikmin game of all time. I mean, let's just say it right now. We're getting Pikmin 5. Oh, yeah, for sure. I thought we knew that already. Sure. Well, I mean, look, if it didn't sell well, then there's no guarantee of anything. So Pikmin 4 is going to maybe pass 3 million after the holidays? I think it's got a chance. Yeah. And the mobile games. Where is it at right now? 2.6. 2.6? 2.6? Yeah. Yeah, holiday 3 million. 2.5 at launch, 2.6 overall. And the mobile game is doing good too. 2.5 at launch. Yeah, they brought up Bloom. Yeah, 2.5 at launch, but it's been 2.6. Oh, it didn't sell that much. So it sold 100,000. Yeah, I remember this is only through a certain date and sales. Sure. I'll see what happens. Well, it came out. Think about it, though. It's like, oh, what, 400,000 more copies? To hit 3 million? Well, they didn't announce any DLCs. That's kind of... So, yeah, I could see them announcing Pikmin 4 DLC at the Game Awards. I don't know. I'd be down for Pikmin 4 DLC. Okay. Was the Game Awards the right place to announce Fire Emblem Engaged DLC? Yes. It's a more hardcore game. It's not a casual game. Yeah. You know anything about Fire Emblem? That's for hardcore games. Okay, Pikmin 4 is good. Pikmin 4. I know you like Fire Emblem, but I play them too, buddy. Fire Emblem is a bigger franchise than Pikmin. What are we talking about? Inevitably. You know, like a debate. Fire Emblem is no better than Pikmin. Pikmin. I'm not about sure about Pikmin 4. Nah. Like, he's right. Like, Fire Emblem has become like one of top... Like... Okay. There's something before... Where does Fire Emblem Engage? Where does Fire Emblem Engage? How much does Fire Emblem Engage? Man, I feel like that game came out forever ago. This year, it was forever ago. In January. Oh, my gosh. I think I'm pretty sure Pikmin 4 has greatly out-sold Fire Emblem Engage. Okay, what about Fire Emblem 3 Houses? Well, that came out in 2019. Engage? They're the better Fire Emblem game. So, I'm just... I'm just saying... They're comparable. I just don't think it's a good argument to make that, you know, it's vastly more popular than so it's a more fitting for the game. I didn't say it was vastly more popular. I said the kind of game it is. I'm saying it's vastly more popular. Sure. Well, that's why sales, I don't even think are really relevant. Why not? I want to get into sales. Pikmin 4 has potentially more... more sales than the other ones. Fire Emblem is for a more hardcore gamer than Pikmin is. Pikmin is more of a casual audience. So, all right, all right, let's actually have this conversation for a moment. So, listen. So, that's time for me. I got to go. That's actually, this is not a bit, but I actually do have to go. So, there's my new record. You guys, new record. I've been like here for a couple of hours. Start sooner. All right. Let it go. All right, man. Take care. It is. So, this is the point I'm making. It's not that I don't think Fire Emblem is not a core-centric series. It is, but I also think Pikmin is a core-centric series. The question is, do they fit the odds for the Game Awards? And I don't think the argument that Fire Emblem, I don't think Fire Emblem is any more a better fit than Pikmin is, because there's an issue with the Game Awards that's been well discussed. And that is that Japanese anime-esque kind of games don't really get pushed. The conversation about Xenoblade at the Game Awards is always brought up because it's always shafted. Fire Emblem is in a very similar style. I don't think Fire Emblem is the kind of game that gets great. It's not really greatly praised at the Game Awards. I don't think it's a better fit than Pikmin. You could argue it's maybe just as bad of a fit. It's not, I just don't see how it's any more of a fit. It acts arguably worse. I don't think there will be Pikmin for DLC, but that's totally... Yeah, that I think we could have that conversation on, because they didn't announce any DLC for Tears of the Kingdom. No signs of DLC for Mario Wonder. All maybe signs of Switch 2 is around the corner. I don't think there's any DLC for everything. Like, they're not that kind of company that does it for all their games. They're usually just like, oh, let's move on to the next one. It just feels weird that we've done it quite a while without announcing any DLC, though. No, I actually... Mario Kart over. So what's the DLC now? Mario Kart literally ends tomorrow. Well, I think now, but... Yeah. No, but I do think Nintendo does like to announce DLC for the games. The reason we're not seeing DLC this year is because Switch 2 is around the corner. Yeah. I think it's all if there is DLC for any of them, they'll announce it after Switch 2 comes out. Yeah. Maybe we need some crotch there. Anyway, I threw out the idea of Pikmin for just... As opposed to expecting something even bigger. Right? Like, last year at the Game Awards, we had Fireman Wingage DLC announced and Bane at Origins. Would you... Because they're Bane or Origins? Bane or Origins, maybe. Just don't attach and switch to it. Bane, no way. Hopefully. So... Oh, sorry. I just... You know what? Hold on. Remember, they just announced the Zelda movie. The stuff ends tomorrow. What if they do a Zelda movie, tease? To know. That's too quick of a turnaround. Wait, they haven't announced the way. Exactly. They did say they've been working on it for a while, so... But they're also going to be working on it for a while. Yeah, the announcement sounded like they just attached a director and a writer and all that to it. So, while Miyamoto may have a rough outline of what the story is going to be, the writer still has to get it and translate it into an actual script, and then they still have to get people and film it. And... Yeah, but they can put together a CG trailer. Look at Metro Prime 4. Metro Prime 4. That's all they have to show to tell us it's coming. I did remember that the Mario movie will most likely be up for video game adaptation of the year. Metro Prime 4. I get hyped for that thing every single event there is, and it just stays still. I don't even want to think about it. I want to be just shocked when it actually happens. Yeah. It was good to be that December. It could be a while. Who the hell knows? What about Tears of the Kingdom? 19.5 mil? Still going? It's going to cross 20 mil easily this holiday. Yeah, it's a dual gen game. So it's going to sell more in Switch 2. I just think we're not going to really have a good understanding of how well Tears of the Kingdom is going to do until we see how it performs this holiday. Like, where it is after this holiday? We've got a couple extra mil this holiday, or is it... Like, if it's, let's say it sells like 4 mil, and then I'm going to think, oh, maybe it does catch breath in the wild someday. Right? If it only sells like a million and a half... It doesn't even depend. Like, if it's cross gen and there's like a new release on Switch 2, people will try sales together. And it's kind of an interesting situation that it's in. I mean, Breath of the Wild was technically in that situation because it was on Wii U, which wasn't very popular. But I mean, the Nintendo Switch, obviously, you know, just general update there, over 132 million. I mean, look, right now, the Nintendo Switch in the first two quarters of this year is ahead of the sales of the first two quarters of last year. Just kind of a fun fact out, granted, it's probably because of Tears of the Kingdom. Front-loaded. Yeah. Tears of the Kingdom did that. And obviously, Nintendo did not adjust their sales target, which is 5 million less than last year. So they don't expect this holiday to be as big as last holiday. But they're doing everything they can besides, you know... Besides cutting the price, they would actually increase sales. They haven't... They're just keeping it at the price and throwing a bundle of all the games people already own. That's true, right? It's really... They're low-budget bundles, which I personally, I think that's another sign that Switch 2 is close. So is this Nintendo's way of price reduction, just adding a game that you already have? Yeah, I mean, it's a better value. I mean, it's a low risk point for them, because what do they care? Like, Smash isn't really selling that much anymore. So what do they care about bundling it in? Yeah. Didn't it sell half a million this past quarter? They didn't... Well, it only got updated because it's in the top 10. Otherwise, they usually don't update unless it sells a million a quarter. But, yeah, it did get... Actually, no. It's here. I'm looking it up. They sold 600, almost 700,000 since June, between the last quarter. Yes. That's a lot. Yes, we only know that because it's in the top 10. Nintendo, on their fiscal quarter reports, only update millions when you sell a million. That's why Metroid didn't get an update for so long. They only update when you sell a million in a quarter. But if you're in the top 10, those sales get updated every quarter. So are you saying they didn't sell 600,000 this past quarter? No, they did. No, I'm saying they did. I'm just saying that we only know that because it's in the top 10. If it wasn't in the top 10, we wouldn't have any idea how much it sold. Okay. But anyway, I'm not saying that it's not selling. It's just not doing what it used to do. Oh, sure. But I mean, compared to most games, selling 600,000 or actually rounding up, it's closer to 700,000 in the last quarter. Like what Nintendo does with all their games with their Evergreen stat? This is beyond any company at this point. I can't explain it. It's like almost every game they drop just keeps selling. I don't, they have some magic with this beats me. But yeah, I don't know, like it was really good. Like Nintendo had a really good financial report. They obviously gave us the Zelda movie drop. We tried to shut down Switch 2 so they can increase their holiday sales. And things are just looking up. Like Nintendo's in a really fortuitous place. I just hope Nintendo's always gotten really, really high and then fallen off. I'm just really hoping there's not a fall off coming up here. Like I think the transition to Switch 2 is like vital at the moment. They can't screw it up. I agree. We're done for. We're done for. It's happening. It's over if they mess this up. Nintendo's doomed. They're going out of business. They're going to have to sell to Microsoft. No, I'll never say it. I honestly don't think it's really plausible for Nintendo to screw it up. At this point, you'll jinx it. How well everything is going, they'd almost have to try to screw it up. Yeah. I mean, just turn me out for a second. I think the reason why they exactly, you know, they would have to do something crazy. But beforehand, they were they were spraying themselves in by focusing on two different platforms. Now that it's one platform, I just don't see them failing. Just too many Nintendo fans. They're in the 3DS Wii U era. Most of those most of the Nintendo fans just had out of 3DS. And 3DS did well, even though they butchered that launch. And the Wii was complete. Like that. That was like one of their worst times. And the 3DS still did well despite that. So with everything kind of focused, I feel like their minimum is what the 3DS did, which is still approaching 80 million systems. So like that, that's like a worst case scenario, in my opinion, which is still really good. So I'm not really worried. Interesting. I think they could find a way to sell less with nothing else out there. I'm just saying is that they never happened before. Hopefully, they don't they don't try to go to outside the the, you know, Taco Bell says don't think outside the bun. You know, stay in the stay in the form factor. They have now talkable, you know, and in handheld mode, more power, better resolution on screen. As long as they do that, I think that's what we happy. Cool. So our last section of the podcast is always our little Q&A section. If you guys want to get any questions in, ask any one of the panel, ask all of us, individuals doesn't matter. Just $2 and up super chats on YouTube. We already have some queued up here. Jorge FT, this a while back. Yeah, he wants to go to the idea of an animated Zelda movie and says do you think Studio Ghibli is a fit as a studio to handle a Zelda movie at this time? And would Miyazaki even work with Miyamoto and how is he as a director? So I would think this would be on a hypothetical like if they did a animated movie in the future. I would love to get. I think they would be honored to work together. Yeah. I don't know either of them. So I'm. Yeah. I mean, well, I mean, maybe it's a little presumptuous for me to say that. But I think they both, I bet they likely appreciate what each other are, but it doesn't mean that what their aspirations are line up. Because we know they took a lot of inspiration from Princess Mononoke, which is a Studio Ghibli film for Breath of the Wild in Tears of the Kingdom. So like I think a Ghibli film would be cool. They also might be sour about that. But I also think there's a lot of other studios that could also do it better. It just depends on the direction they want to go. I think fans have just been dreaming of a Studio Ghibli Zelda movie for like decades. And I just don't think it's ever going to happen. I would love to see a Studio Ghibli art form game of a Zelda game. Okay. Next question. This goes on to the Zelda remake stuff. What other Zelda remakes do you think have potential other than Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess? Zelda 2. A Link Between Worlds, please. Maybe not a remake. Maybe just a port would be nice because that's a great game. If that had like a good, that could be remastered to look pretty much like a modern game. They could look pretty much like Link's Awakening if they like upscaled it. Yeah. I will tell you. I think for the past, I think Link's Regaining. How about? No problem. One of Gamalong. We're missing the clear option, Link's Crossbow Training. Bring it back. The Minish Cap. Minish Cap. The Minish Cap in a Studio Ghibli-like style. How about that? Oh, here we go. Like, I kept thinking like, if you think of the 3D Zelda, obviously you can jump to Wind Waker, but Wind Waker is already so timeless the way it is, is it really needed from the ground remake? If it needs to take what it is, put it in the 60 FPS and 4K, and you're probably good. I mean, if you want to reduce some lighting, add ray tracing or something crazy, and sure. But that would still just be like a remastering of what's already there, which by the way, I totally want them to do. Remaster. Remaster. Make me Wind Waker Asia here. Give me Wind Waker 4K with all those bells and whistles. Like, yeah, sure, that'd be sweet. I'd be all over that. But otherwise, the reason people go to Ocarina of Time in Twilight Princess is the art style. It's totally art style. It's not timeless. It doesn't hold up well over time, and they're due. Ocarina of Time is obviously more due, in some cases, than Twilight Princess, but... I think it's due in all cases. So, you could argue that it already got a remaster in the 3DS version, but that 3DS version is already really old. This game came out in 2011. 12 years old, 13 years old? No. Basically, it's like two games old. Think about this. Ocarina of Time came out in 1998. Ocarina of Time 3D came out in, I believe, 2011, which is about, what, 13 years? Okay, where are we now? It is now 2023, and if there's going to be a new one coming out, it won't be until next year, which is what, another 13 years. There we go. This is another conspiracy theory. No, conspiracy theory. I'm not saying that it's going to happen every 13 years. I'm simply stating that... Number 13, bitch. For Zelda, Ocarina of Time. It's just been so long since the remaster that they could... You know what I mean? The amount of time between the original and the remaster is... We've already waited that long already. So, you know. Also, it is a 25th anniversary for Ocarina of Time this month, but I don't think that means anything. No, it's a no-desert. Ocarina of Time. All wrong. Let's make some money. 2024. You did 24 minus 20, four sort of ventures remakes. There you go. There you go. That makes sense. Figured it out. Wow. That was some crazy quantum... Whatever. I mean, what if they did the oracles in the Link's Awakening-type thing? I know. The oracles. Yeah, I would love that. Oracles seasons? Yeah, man. Those came out sick. I know it doesn't come back. Grezzo. Get that on Grezzo. Get Grezzo going on those right now. I feel like we could almost guarantee that Grezzo is making his own game right now. I hope they're making an original top-down. What was the last game they did? Link's Awakening. Well, the last one for the game? The last game? Yeah. They made this mobile game. I have it on my phone. It came out earlier this year. Well, I mean like last Zelda thing they've done because don't they have like a dedicated Zelda theme? That was Link's Awakening. So, 2019? So, what have they been doing for four years? Well, they've been making games. They made, they made, uh, Noopia. They were- Oh, that's right. And they just made Jet Dragon for mobile, but that's a small thing. Small project. So, two years since they've done a Switch game. So, what have they been doing for two years? Making that Ocarina Time remake. Maybe they're working on Tomodachi Life for Switch. Who made it for them to let us know he's excited about the movie and he loves the discussion tonight? Thank you. Thank you, bud. I know they could be doing another Luigi's Mansion too. I think they did work on the first one. So- Did they also work on the first one? Yeah. I love them four. I wonder if they're ever gonna port the first Luigi's Mansion to Switch because then all three games would be on Switch. I think they will. I think it might be like just like an upscale of the GameCube version, right? Like kind of like they would pick for Pikmin 1 and 2, but I have a hard time seeing them having two and three and not one in some way. I agree with that. Maybe with the ring. Oh, GameCube? No. I don't think so. They can make too much money off remasters and remakes. People want me to be Tango. Look, I have the spirit of Tango. I have the bod in some ways of Tango. I just don't think I'd be willing to put on the tights. They could pay me millions. I just don't think I could do that on screen. I'm sorry. If it's not Nate in the movie, I'm not going to see it. Like I'll skip. I'm not afraid to skip. You know, it'll be interesting. I don't understand you. If you got to see Tingle's father, who just doesn't like him, who judges him so negatively. He really is a Jar Jar Binks of Zelda. I guess what I'm saying, bro. Are you reliving something now, Ande? No. Tingle's back story is his father is not proud of him for being a fairy man. Are you a fairy man? No, not me. What is happening right now? Oh, my God. He's clean. I'm just feeling hungry. What else is new? I invite Mike Odyssey on me to get crazy. It's a punching bag. Yeah, they're all like my Tingle father. Whoa, I'm a literal father. Back to truck up a bit. I got some questions I need to ask of other women or what they do with my seed if that's a thing. Holy moly, what is going on? All right. All right. Well, what's happy and sad? That's going to do it for the Nintendo Prime podcast. Episode 45. We'll be back again next week. I'm trying to look at who our guests are next week. I think we have a full cast. So we don't know what Eric might be if he next week. We'll see. But we do have Sombro Nation and West Nemo coming on next week. Unless they cast along me too and things get nuts and I'm sitting here around begging all my friends, please fill it. I don't have anyone. And then I don't know. We have Nintendo Land who was supposed to be on this week is coming on the 29th episode. And then I don't know. There's somebody else coming on the 22nd episode. I don't know. I got future guests planned out for a bit, but I can't see it. My monitor's in the way. So my big arts monitors in the way. So anyways, thank you guys so much for being here. You can go ahead and catch this podcast anywhere. Podcasts are heard. We'll go around the little room quick. You guys can say what you got going on and where they can find you quick. Let's start with Nick with no K who just keeps talking about that. I'm so busy editing. I am really busy editing. But editing for the nerdiest podcast, which is my movie TV show podcast. And actually we're going to do a full episode talking about the Zelda movie because it's such a big deal to me. I literally put together our show notes today. So that episode is coming out in the near future. So you can go listen to that. We're on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, all the places nerdiest podcast. You can follow me personally Google because it doesn't exist anymore. Unfortunately, they got rid of Google. It's okay. We weren't getting many listeners there anyway. But if you are a big Zelda person, we did do an episode talking about all the tears of the kingdom. And Andres was there. So you can go listen to that episode too while you wait for our Zelda movie episode. So there you go. We have two Nintendo primes because I've totally forgot to change your name.
