101 Zelda: TotK's Weapon Durability Is the Most Polarizing Issue of Our Time (Sky Burkson Returns!)

Episode Summary

To Fuse or Not to Fuse?

Episode Notes

It's time to discuss the controversy that has divided our great nation for far too long: Should Link's stick break after you whack it too much?

On the heels of fresh gameplay for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, miniature artist and Pro Gamer Dad™ Sky Burkson returns to Chat about how Nintendo has leaned hard into the physics sandbox of its open-world sequel, and whether that's what fans really want from a Zelda game.

Plus, we discuss Sky's latest epic Elden Ring paper sculpture, why AI-generated art can't compete with true fandom (yet), and how Netflix's quasi-platform gaming strategy might be paying off.
