I haven't listened to this podcast before and I love it. It'll be weird listening next time and you guys won't be on it! I want a 8-4 Play The Next Generation podcast :)

Zelda 2 is a challenging and well made game with a lot of character. I wish there were more games like it. Also, Breath of the Wild on Wii U is not 'severely inferior' to the Switch version, it's pretty much identical except for a drop in resolution from 900p to 720p. Ironically the Switch version has performance issues and runs better in tablet mode because the resolution is dropped to... 720p. Also it is very open world and exploration based like you were hoping but you already know that by now.

The let's listen thing maybe needs a little tweaking, but I'm in favor of experiments. Also, will there be a extraordinary Switch special this week?
