Legend of Zelda Cartoons Episodes 10-13 Review
About this Episode
Like animation come listen to animation aficionados
and if you disagree with us you could be a guest
on a future show available on iTunes the Zune
market and animation aficionados calm This is
the Triforce of wisdom link the evil wizard Ganon
has the Triforce of Power Hey, for you Selva,
anything! You're right! I'm real Mary Gannon.
LET THE CEREMONY BEGIN! Hello and welcome to
the latest episode of Pixels and the Animation.
I am one of your hosts, TFT and Mike, and joining
me in this epic journey concluding in Hyrule
is TV's Mr. Neel! Without a fairy, you're not
even a real man. That's not exactly the quote
that was springing to mind Oh boy, so this is
it the final four episodes of the Legend of Zelda
cartoon I cannot believe it It's only 13 episodes
I know I know I just Wish it was longer. But
now that I I thought of that today when I was
watching these final episodes I'm like, oh If
only this series had gone on to be longer and
then I'm thinking oh no, they'd inevitably screw
it up Yeah, you wouldn't want 52 episodes of
Zelda Well, there would be a wrapping episode
Well, the way I was looking at it was as the
games come out you could mirror Different plot
lines like I would have loved to have seen these
characters do a link to the past That would have
been cool But then but then like with the very
next game then suddenly you'd have a cartoon
where Where link is having a dream and he's trying
to wake up a giant whale Yeah, that's links awakening
people Oh boy. So yeah, we're here for the final
four episodes of Legend of Zelda. This has really
been a fun ride. It really, really has on this
one. It's gonna be interesting to see where we
go after this when we get sucked into the ultimate
warp zone. But for now, we're gonna deal with
what we have to deal with. After this, we will
get to the first episode. So far so good. Now
if I can just make it across the courtyard. And
just where do you think you're going? Just getting
ready to oil the gate hinges. With a fishing
rod? Princess no Ganon hasn't attacked in weeks
and it's time you started earning your keep There's
chores to be done, but that's the castle handyman's
job doofs got enough to do Which is obviously
not your problem now move Yes, maybe once your
chores are done now get going First up today
is a hitch in the works. With little activity
from Ganon's minions, Link is assigned to do
chores as usual. Let me see here. Is this the
one where he's actually trying to sneak off and
go fishing? Link is assigned to chores by the
princess the castle handyman doof magically animated
a golem made of Various odds and ends to help
with chores, but the self admittedly poor magic
user watches as it runs wild Moblins attack and
as link fights them off the golem falls on him
and knocks him unconscious When Zelda finds him
napping She doesn't believe his story, and Link
convinces Doof to make fake Moblins to attack
Zelda and trick her into letting him out of chores.
But she overhears his plan. When real Moblins
attack and confuse everyone, they kidnap the
princess and take her to Ganon, who has made
a collar that compels Zelda to do his bidding,
including marrying him. Doof. Yeah, that's the
first time in the last time we ever see doof
I think in an episode later He is mentioned but
like this is the only time I've ever seen that
guy. Yeah Because last time I said, oh, well,
it's just the King Zelda Lincoln and sprite There's
four people or three and a half that live there
Although the first episode we did see a castle
town. So apparently there are people there but
Right there's other people in Hyrule, but there's
like four three and a half four people that live
in the castle Yeah, the actual castle This episode
I Don't the plot to this I don't see why Ganon
is Jumping over into the DC universe and pulling
a hat out of super friends dark side Bag of tricks
because that's all dark side ever wanted to do
in in the old super friends cartoons was either
get in Wonder Woman's pants or marry her and
Then get in Wonder Woman's pants But you know
in some respects I'm like, well, this is this
is one of his best plans ever cuz who wouldn't
want to marry Zelda on the other hand You know,
I was thinking in in what way would this he would
be legally binding. I mean this Who would recognize
this marriage? Oh, you're married to Zelda who
presided over it the grim reaper get out of here
you're not the king shut up the sad thing is
when i was watching this back i'm like hey wait
where are billy and mandy oh way too soon for
that series this was the goofiest grim reaper
i've ever seen yeah googly eyes you gotta get
a picture of him Will I forget what's even what
is even gonna be in episodes episode 19's post?
Let me look here. Oh Yeah Actually, you missed
one. I missed one you got one, but you missed
one your your Facebook post Yeah about the bathing
suit. I found another when she's sliding down
the slide. Oh, okay Yeah Yeah, those are two
out of the oh the third one is Link heroically
catching Zelda Dianne when she gets scared of
the fake Moblin Alright, let's go find some wisdom
a lesson with the Triforce of Wisdom, yay. I'm
a hero, not a handyman. Yikes, the robot rampages
and the sad thing is I could hear Mega move the
whole time that robot was rampaging, I heard
that in the back of my head. The funny thing
is the robot, I don't know if they, I don't know
if the animators intentionally did this. It kind
of reminds me of Mac, Rosie's love interest from
the Jetsons. Oh, I had that exact same note.
I'm like, it's kind of like that thing that was
made out of the filing cabinet from the Jetsons.
God damn it. Yeah, yeah, I was thinking that
the whole time. That's some powerful magic there
Ganon not even the genie could do that Right
making Zelda basically fall in love with them.
Yeah And that flying dragon head was a little
strange and creepy all the It's I forget what
name it's the three -headed dragon from the first
Zelda game and that actually does happen But
it just comes off weird in the cartoon Yeah it's
just it doesn't work right what'd you like about
this one um well i was gonna say the the big
silly robot although they called him a they called
him a golem in the in the synopsis i always thought
the golems were made of stone and clay but i
i don't know yeah he's more like a clockwork
robot too bad he wasn't orange oh come on else
um the doof basically doof is i like the name
doof and i like his attempt at making a a moblin
it's just like this stuffed animal toy and it
bounces a couple times it falls apart like what
what is your role here in the castle do well
i make things that that fall apart yeah He's
supposed to be the handyman though. He's supposed
to be the guy that does all the chores so link
doesn't have to You know honestly Well later
in the episode we get your ratings. I'm probably
not gonna give this a five but at the same time
I Honestly didn't find a whole lot wrong with
this one. No It was a it was really really fun.
It was really really funny at times It was delightfully
stupid Yes And it's a damn shame that Doof didn't
have the internet back then because he could
go online and print out a fake certificate saying
he was a doctor Dr. Doof All right, so I think
we're just gonna skip the Triforce of Power this
time around and head on to the next episode unless
you have anything bad you want to say about this
No, no Let's get to the springing fairies, yay.
Uh, almost. There are a few provisos, a couple
of quid pro quos. Like? Uh, rule number one?
I can't kill anybody. Yeah, so don't ask. Rule
number two? I can't make anybody fall in love
with anybody else. You little punum there. Rule
number three? I can't bring people back from
the dead. It's not a pretty picture. I don't
like doing it! Other than that, you got it. Phew,
wee! Phew! It certainly is hot today, isn't it,
Daddy? Eh, what? Oh, yes, I'm hot, most certainly.
Still, my royal water park should be completed
soon. Then all the kingdom will have a place
to cool off and have fun. Sprite! Sprite's on
vacation, remember? oh yes i forgot but you'll
be back for the opening of my water park fairies
like water i wonder how the work is going up
next is fairies in the spring oh boy you know
what i'm noticing here on uh on wikipedia is
that the uh The production codes are very different
from the actual episodes. Well that happens a
lot. They show them out of order. Yeah, that's
true. So for fairies in the spring, the King
is having a water park constructed to help his
subjects cool off in the summer heat. When water
monsters attack the construction crew, Zelda
and Link investigate but are startled to find
the water monster doesn't belong to Ganon. When
the king arrives to check their progress, and
while inspecting the pools of the water park,
another monster pulls him in and vanishes. The
pair collect the Triforce of Wisdom and return
to the water park to find the king and the source
of the disturbances. This is, of course, the
only episode that does not feature Ganon. Soon
as I started watching this episode as soon as
Harkinian mentioned the water park I'm like,
oh no, not this this is probably the one episode
out of all 13 that I just don't give a crap I
Don't know I just This is the lamest You want
to talk about convenient for the plot Well the
construction workers they they tapped into an
underground river and it turns out to be the
fairy spring What did you think of the blot Kind
of dumb. I mean it was without without Ganon
I kind of like that they tried to do something
without Ganon, but it was kind of pointless and
dumb and Didn't really go anywhere Yeah, I mean
it kind of like I guess you could say it was
a one two three Mike Tyson knockout because They
hit you at the beginning they jab you in the
middle and they kick you in the crotch in the
end then bite your ear off I Knew that was coming
Alright, let's go see what we can find for for
wisdoms for the fairies. As you can see, I'm
all wet. Speaking of all wet, where's our local
hero? He should be hearing this. Tada! You called
for a hero princess? Yes, but I guess you'll
have to do. Link, the crew building my father's
waterpark was attacked by monsters. You got any
ideas? Sure! Show me these monsters. I'll zap
them for ya. Good boy. Let's go. Alright, getting
some wisdom. This is the second time in the series
that Link is underwater. This is also the first
time in the series that Zelda is actually...
underwater and i don't mean she just you know
we just threw her in she got all wet i find it
interesting that they did something with the
characters that probably at the time the games
were doing i don't think the games could do it
actually with the graphics back then but uh...
let's see oh god link getting electrocuted yes
couldn't have it to a nicer guy It's in the wrong
place to be for that to happen. Underwater. I
know. That's probably why it lasted so long.
The other thing I was going to say is, so this
is the fun episode. After a while, I'm like,
okay, I know what's going on here. I remember
this episode. Can we please move on? What did
you like about this one? Hot bathing suit Zelda.
Yeah, I will I will obviously I will agree hot
bathing suit Zelda. I was like, oh there we go
freeze frame Like someone had fun drawing that
this was drawn very well Yes, yes it was You
know, there's only a few times in the entire
series where I think she's off model. I guess
is the best It's certain ways that the animation
is done where she doesn't look as... I don't
want to say proper, but she doesn't look as pixelated
as she should. Or she doesn't look like how she's
supposed to look. Like in the opening of the
cartoon where she lands in the water and she
sticks her head out and says, nice job, hero.
That's actually one of the worst drawings of
her. Whereas here... She is totally on model.
Yeah, she is totally on model here, but I'm talking
about like in some of the other episodes where
And I God I hate to say this be to two episodes
in a row or My dirty mind gets the better of
me where I've noticed when she's been off model
or the animation is weird on her character is
I hate to say this but When a certain angle is
taken her pants look all bunched up. Yeah, yeah,
they kind of do. So and as far as the the bad
moments, even though I'm like, oh crap, I remember
this episode. It's. It's not as bad as I thought,
it's just one of those ones where it's like,
oh no, they're really because OK, sure I get
it. arkinian wants to be a good king i get that
he wants to you know help his subjects but as
soon as i heard waterpark i'm like oh god no
thank god back in the eighties i don't think
six flags was around because it would be six
flags over hyrule did you have any bad points
to point out um you know what yeah the title
it gives so gives the plot away because The payoff
is that they've actually tapped into a fairy
spring. I'm like, oh, that's actually something
that's in the game. I would never have thought
of that, had it not been the title of the damn
cartoon. Yeah, that is true. All right. So once
again, we're just going to move on to the next
one, because like I said, outside of, oh crap,
I remember this. I didn't really write anything
down for. for bad moments, so Second to last
episode coming up next is the subtitle to the
sequel of the set the second game the missing
link or no wait wasn't the which one was it because
the Game Boy version that had the missing link
as a subtitle or was it the NES because I think
I thought the NES was none of them did I don't
there's no game called missing link yeah there's
links awakening which is the Game Boy one and
there's then there's Zelda 2 the adventure of
length Through Link's and Zelda's magical weapons
can dispel Ganon's monsters back to the underworld,
Ganon has a new wand that can do the same to
regular people. Ganon assaults the castle, intent
on capturing Zelda for ransom, but during the
battle Link is zapped instead. After Ganon escapes,
Zelda realizes Link's body was captured, but
his spirit remained with her. The two make their
way to the underworld to recover his body. So,
the plot of this cartoon is that Ganon has the
wand of Gamelon, and with Link out of commission,
it becomes Zelda's adventure. Yep. Pretty much.
Oh, man. This should, like... For me personally,
and I'll say this again next time in episode
20, they should have flip -flopped this episode
of the Moblins are revolting. Because this to
me is a better, technically since it didn't get
any more episodes after Moblins, this to me is
a better series finale than Moblins. I mean Moblins
is an okay, and we'll get to it here in a few
minutes, I mean Moblins is an okay episode, but...
This had everything you could want in a finale
type episode Revelation that you know Zelda lit
some part of her loves link We probably won't
go into great detail of which parts but Which
again she does get to play with the sword this
episode Speaking of which is you're something
I started noticing on the episode. What was that?
The hottest thing is stinger There's a lot of
there's a lot of sword twirling in this cartoon.
Yes, there is Including this one even Zelda she
picks up link sword and then immediately twirls
it for all that Maybe they were going for some
wild wild west twirling gunmen or something.
Yes, so it's like does everyone know that trick
apparently What did you think of the plot of
missing link? Oh kind of sweet in a way, but
also kind of silly Yeah, I mean it's just like
a vehicle to get to the point where We're getting
here's the thing. It's Ganon who reveals it.
He's like. Oh, no that means that she loves him
No, like why is Ganon the one who gets the to
explain that I was such a that's such a weird
choice It was a weird choice, but it's I think
it's because of the fact that Ganon is secretly
Hyrule's version of Darkseid It's like he knows
he has competition now Yeah Yeah, and just watch
that scene again and just listen to the just
the incredulous look and and sound in his voice
because he's like oh no that must mean he's like
damn it damn it damn it damn it yeah he's really
upset about it yeah he really is oh man and this
was the one episode i did not mind all of the
uh kiss me tropes because this is obviously it's
links spirit and he He doesn't realize it but
Zelda does and I kind of liked it. I don't know
I thought that was pretty cool part of the plot
I thought it was another cool thing about the
plot is how they do the exposition where I Guess
the writers because I think it was Bob forward
that did the writing on this episode. I think
he did almost all, I think he did all 13 episodes
or at least a good majority of them. The way
it's written is only Zelda can see and hear Link,
but everyone else can hear Link when he speaks.
And I'm thinking, no, I guess in a way... you
need to have everybody else here and so people
don't think zelda's crazy and nuts and needs
to be in a mental institution but i'm thinking
also thing on the other side of that is no don't
let other people hear him just you know i don't
know that was a little weird to me since you
would have preferred uh... zelda as played by
demi more and uh... link as played by uh... god
damn it so don't say michael douglas no no no
not michael douglas god damn it patrick swazee
Oh, okay. Yeah. For a second there, I thought
we were getting a little bit too disclosury on
that one. No, no. All right. Anything else on
the blog? Not really. Just one comment on the
animation. Not really like a bad thing, so I'm
just going to say it here. It's like, did you
happen to catch the weird strobing on Zelda when
she first tried to touch Link? Yeah. Yeah, that
was bizarre. Otherwise that effect was done really
well him being in the same space as her while
also being partially invisible Yeah All right,
we're gonna go find some wisdom Give me the Triforce
Princess. Come and get it, Pigface! Oh, I could,
but why work so hard? You will bring me that
Triforce Princess, or you'll never see Apprentice
Link again! hear a story from the Triforce of
Wisdom. Oh no, Link got zapped! First time that's
really happened. I mean, like, really zapped.
Like, poof, be gone, zapped. That's the first
time that's happened in the cartoons. And I knew
Zelda loved Link, at least, you know, in some
way or another. And this just goes to show you
again that this whole storyline, even though
Ganon reveals it, because he's so jealous or
whatever. It just goes to show you that this
episode should have been the final one. I really
like the animation in this one. The magic, like
the giant blast. It's not often, and I'm sure
in animation it's done a lot, but it's not often
that I see, unless it's something like Batman
the Animated Series or some super high, I don't
wanna say high gloss, but high gloss animation.
It's not often that you can do a rock bash as
well as this did three different times. The only
thing is, and I'm thinking it would be more so
if the energy ball dissipated every time it bounced
off a castle wall, it probably would have given
away the fact that it had gotten weakened. Because
Zelda comes to the realization later. Oh the
blast was weakened so it didn't zap all of link
I Find it funny that they have Lincoln Zelda's
position in this episode as far as his body goes
Several like side shots of him are what I've
seen of Zelda in the games Well a couple of times
like when she's laid out on whatever table again
or whoever the hell lays her out on oh Yeah,
okay, yeah Let's see what else You know overall
we're really fun enjoyable episode to watch I
wish if the series had continued that they would
have built on this storyline now I know when
we get to video land There will be the potion
of power episode. So there is that but I Don't
know. What do you like about missing link? Um,
I like that it it showed It showed Zelda actually
or actually didn't show her basically ratted
her out as being in love with link and link immediately
rubbing it in It was like so Yeah You know, when
he got zapped, even though we knew he didn't
die, but when he got zapped, it was actually
pretty traumatic if you didn't really see what
was coming, because it looked like he really
bought the farm. It's something that you wouldn't
expect to see in an afternoon syndicated cartoon,
because it wasn't bloody or anything. It was
just him screaming in pain and then disappearing.
you're like oh no you die yeah yeah so that that
was kind of uh that was kind of cool that they
actually got away with it even though it wasn't
really all that violent it was still kind of
uh shocking that that would happen yeah yeah
it was it really really was and again it just
goes to show you like when When these animators,
I'm not saying they don't try in most episodes,
but when they really, really put their minds
at doing something well, they do it well. Everything
with Ganon here, everything with Zelda and Link.
Thankfully, I don't remember, because I would
have written it down for a bad point if it did
happen. It might have happened at the very end,
but thankfully Sprite was missing the entire
episode. See, you couldn't do that crap with
Toad. You couldn't just throw him away like a
stale mushroom, which kind of sucks. Yeah, I
like that. At the halfway point, or not really
halfway, it's like the first 30 episode, the
sprite shows up and Zelda's immediate like, here,
take the Triforce, get out of here. Yeah. Go
hang out with Toad. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah,
she did. She was in this because she took the
Triforce back to the castle. Yeah. Okay, yeah
cookie code company Yeah Go spend some time with
your husband there fairy princess. No I Have
no bad notes about this one. Do you have any
bad notes about this one? I just have two and
both are in the same scene that seemed the showdown
and that's that's in the that's in the castle
courtyard first of all, it's kind of I don't
know I thought it was kind of weird that after
Link got zapped away like suddenly Ganon didn't
think to use the staff anymore he was just like
he's just like uh oh Link is gone well he'll
surrender the triforce to me the triforce and
the kingdom to me princess and then he just kind
of like walked away I'm like well you you could
have tried I mean I know she was blocking it
but you could have tried harder and then the
other thing is that right there ruining all the
good animation in the scene are the god damn
staff I was looking as stupid as ever like they
were drawn so badly yeah like here's this well
animated scene and they just look horrible why
is it every time I see them carrying Ganon's
throne I think they're carrying a coffin they
look like pallbearers is what they look like
it's like oh my god All right, we're gonna move
on to the final episode of the series final episode
of the day. I'll be back in a moment Alright
folks, this is it because the Moblins are revolting.
They truly, truly are. Ganon demonstrates a new
wand that makes a bubble around its victim. Oh
god, why am I flashing to five years earlier?
It is a zero -G bubble, he -man! Oh, exactly
what this is. that can only be popped by the
Triforce of Power. Okay now, I have a quote,
before we even really finish this plot synopsis,
this bubble can only be popped by the Triforce
of Power. So you're telling me if they brought
the Triforce of Wisdom into the Underground and
Ganon's bubble just magically touched it, it
would not pop? Really? I guess not. But worse
than that, this is stupid even by... Cartoon
supervillain standards. I mean if if Cobra commander
heard this he'd be like are you fucking kidding
me? I mean you made something that your own magic
cannot even destroy Yeah, pretty much Fed up
with Ganon's orders a moblin uses the wand to
trap Ganon in a bubble and throws him down a
bottomless pit Okay, where's Castle Grayskull
when you really need it because holy crap It's
He -Man meets Zelda right now, I guarantee you
it. Let's find out if Bob forward worked on He
-Man. I don't think he did. He might have? I'm
not sure. The Moblin opens the evil jar and the
monsters collectively decide to storm the castle
of Hyrule. But are too incompetent to accomplish
anything without Ganon's leadership. Yep, now
that was funny. The best scene in the whole in
the whole cartoon was all of the All of the kind
I can't think of their names the fish people
They all have the logs and they're trying to
ram the gate, but they're like yards away And
they're they're charging at it and by the time
they get there. They're all out of breath Yep
Yeah, well He wrote part of one of your least
favorite things. The Christmas special. Says
he was a writer on Secret of the Sword and Princes
of Power. So he was around. Yeah, he was around.
Now yeah, because Yeah, because he was one of
those because he and Larry I'm Larry de Tileo
Did Beast Wars together because Bob wrote 17
episodes of Beast Wars? So there is that You
know, I I like Bob he's a he's a cool guy he's
an interesting forward You know, he's an interesting
why the hell did I say he's an interesting writer?
God damn it. I am so losing my mind tonight.
Oh Christ The hell are we I don't even know anymore
are we on was yeah, we're on wisdom aren't we
are we still in the plot? I think we're still
in the plot. It's still oh my god. We're still
in the plot uh... there's a there's a lot of
nights ladies and gentlemen the tfg and mike
has been awake far too long uh... the plot is
good it's funny it's and i don't mean good as
in oh my god it's the best thing ever again like
i said i think if you switch this in missing
links order of air date or order of production
or whatever so missing link was the series finale
and not this i mean this offers good comedic
SNL type humor. I could see the heads of Chevy
Chase, Bill Murray. I could see all those guys
and some of these villains. Any other thoughts
on the plot? Nothing that I don't intend on mentioning
in the stuff I like, so let's just move on to
that. Alright. It's all I can recover from this.
to magic and completely indestructible! Amazing,
master! Is Bubble really indestructible? Except
for this! Once again, my plan is perfect! Alright,
let's get some wisdom. The beginning scene is
like the best scene. Yes. Battle Link claims
he won without ever having to do anything. Yes.
These stupid moblins and guerrillas break into
his bedroom and they basically trip over each
other and end up... defeating each other. And
I love that the Moblins are wearing black in
broad daylight. Yeah. Oh, boy. And there's no
security at this at this castle because they
actually do get in. I know, you know, we we've
said, well, you said before there was a castle
town or there's some town around the castle.
Well, there's like a wall around the castle itself,
but there's also a town in there, I think. And
that's how it is in the games, too. Some of them,
anyway. Yeah. You'd think some of these people
would see moblins and guerrillas swinging, at
least the guerrillas, swinging in to the castle
like Tarzan. I don't know. They're dressed like
ninjas. They can't see them. Inja strike hard
fade away without a trace they certainly did
that Yeah, oh boy again and really stepped in
at this time didn't they yes, I That is something
I did not even with the Moblin and the guerrillas
failure. That's something I did not see like
It wasn't as shocking as some other stuff in
other cartoons, but it's like, you know, it wasn't
as shocking as, oh my god, they killed Optimus
Prime. You know, it wasn't as shocking as that,
but it's just one of those things where even
though I knew the episode title, I didn't see
that Moblin just take the, I don't know, I didn't
see that coming. It's a villain party yay Yeah,
I like how it immediately became a frat party
like okay. Let's redecorate here. They move the
evil jar Yeah, let's move it to another chamber
Thank God this cartoon happened before the Macarena
because they'd all been doing the Macarena. Oh,
no I know right. Yeah, that would be really evil
the lead moblin was really good and then they
really had to ruin everything it's just i don't
know any other things that you liked about this
one um just that just that it was an overall
gag episode it was just like tons of tons of
gags about how how incompetent the Moblins are
and all the other villains they just they end
up beating each other while they're trying to
get into the castle and and even even how Ganon
gets free is a gag because because Zelda and
Link try to go get the Triforce of Power and
they're they basically won and then Link starts
messing around because they they meet Ganon but
Ganon's still stuck in the bubble and and and
Link starts throwing them around like a beach
ball and Well, wouldn't you know he lands on
the Triforce of Power, and that's that. What
just kind of disturbed me about Link is that
he starts worrying about how he might be out
of a job if they get the Triforce of Power, and
then they accidentally free Ganon, and then at
the end of the episode he's like, well, at least
I still have a job. I'd be like, oh my god, you
are so fired. The job thing, that's not even...
Even if they had both Triforces, he would still
have to guard both Triforces to make sure Gan
never got it back again. And besides, somebody's
gotta fill the lamps and fix the drawbridge and
everything. I mean, you saw what he was doing
in the other episode. He'd become the handyman.
He'd be... He and Doof would be partners. Oh
boy. Uh, you know, and that's the other thing
is like... One thing about this cartoon and again,
I'm sure you'll inform me because it's been a
very very long time since I at least played the
first two games In the first game was it always
three zaps Gannon's? defeated it was No, it well
technically yes, but not with the sword What
happens is you show up in Gannon's chamber and
he's invisible and you basically have to stab
in the dark until you actually hit him Then when
he finally appears and is stunned you have to
hit him three times with the arrow Right. Okay.
Yeah, cuz that's the similar thing with the link
to the past and similar to that. Yeah, but And
that's like I Get it was a I believe it was a
weekly cartoon When it ran I could be wrong,
but I believe it was weekly. It might have been
it might have actually been daily I know it wasn't
it was weekly because it was every Friday. Yeah.
Yeah Jesus Christ, I can't think tonight. It
was every Friday. So it was a weekly cartoon
and I guess you couldn't really have Ganon Be
dead other than you know outside of the fact
of all the sensors wouldn't like that No, you
can't slaughter a pig and make hot dogs No pig
roast tonight folks That happens in illusion
of Gaia video game joke folks go play that game
That's all folks You know I just wish there was
something that Okay, sure the Moblin sending
him down a Bottomless bottomless pit was interesting,
but I just wish that there was something more
that happened again and other than oh Blast me
three times, I just go into my own evil jar and
then I can get out in an episode. Yeah. I don't
know. You're basically sending him to his room.
Yeah. And then not to jump too far ahead into
Captain N, but then Captain N. I like that episode,
don't get me wrong, but that is the most insulting
way to Stargannon. Jara Piggles, oh my god Alright
As far as the Triforce of Power the bad stuff
God the Moblins are so dumb So dumb And none
of the other minions actually listen to the lead
Moblin, you know, you already mentioned about
Them trying to storm the castle, you know ten
-feet away from the door yeah uh... like when
the how they get rid of the scepter is at a stupid
it's like now don't drop it what i said drop
it there's a go okay then they drop the separate
that's the last time you see it in the episode
let's see i was wondering about that though because
usually most of the tropes in these types of
cartoons with a scepter or wand or whatever that's
made something once you destroy that it unmakes
it the wand got destroyed and yet Ganon still
was in the bubble and I know he said that oh
only the Triforce of Power can can free me but
you would think if the thing projecting the original
spell was destroyed that he would still be falling
to his doom without being able to Cast his own
bubble, but I guess if he was out of the bubble
he would be able to use his own magic again,
so I still I know we're in the triumph of the
power points, but I still love the Ganon he's
like oh, I have to remember. I can't do that
Really stupid in this episode he keeps zapping
himself Yeah, yes all right well That's going
to do it for Zelda. We're going to take a quick
ad break, come back with final thoughts and ratings,
and then close the show after this. We'll be
back in a moment. Zella, come on. We're getting
out of here. No, I'm married again. What? Are
you nuts? She is under my control, hero. And
that's for you. Sheesh, you'd think I was destroyed
or something. Link? Link! What? I can see you,
but I can't feel you. A drag, I know. I seem
to have gotten a bit ghostly after that zap of
Ganon's. The zap, of course. All that bouncing
around it did must have weakened it before it
hit you. Oh, it got your body, but not your spirit.
Can't you see him? No. Is he hiding? I'm right
here. Oh. Huh? Where'd he go? I heard him, but
I don't see him. That's strange. I wonder if
I'm the only one who can see him. That'd be your
lucky day, Princess. That's not what I'd call
it. But we've got to get your body back from
Ganon. Don't tell me you only love me for my
body. Huh? It's just that without your body you're
even more useless than usual. Maybe he'll eat
less. Now that would be a blessing. Take the
Triforce back to the vault, will you, Sprite?
I can't pick up my sword. And Ganon's got my
body. What am I gonna do? Only thing we can do.
Get it back. My heroic princess, kiss me. Oh,
shut up. Let's go. Alright, we are back. And
for the ratings, Hitchin' the Orcs, what are
you gonna give it? I'm gonna give it a 3. It
wasn't a terrific episode, but it wasn't bad
either. It was watchable. Yeah, I'm right there
with you. I'll give it a 3 as well. I really
liked it. I liked a lot of the things with the
makeshift... Rosie's boyfriend robot For a while
there I thought I Thought I was watching a robot
version of sword in the stone cheese with the
the dishwashing and the ma in the Pogo sticking
mop robot fairies in the spring That one I'm
also gonna give a three. I mean it was kind of
a dumb episode, but it got Saved by a bathing
suit, I guess I'll give it a four just to just
an extra point for that for both bathing suit
shots Missing link I'll give that a four. It
was it was really amusing Kind of kind of a good
relationship episode. It's like the only one
that really Moves the character development along
all 12 other episodes. Don't do squat in that
department Yeah Yeah, yeah, I agree, but I'm
gonna give it a five I really well You know There
are certain things that I did nitpick about it,
but I can still overlook those and still really
enjoy the episode Originally, I don't even think
I gave Doppelganger a five. I just found so many
things wrong with that episode as far as some
of the animation style and stuff, but with here,
everything about this episode is good. There
are little tiny nitpicks, but other than that,
what about those revolting Moblins? This I'll
also give a four. Again, very amusing episode.
I feel... Want to be cautious about giving anything
a five because I know a better cartoon is coming
up So that's probably gonna get a lot of fives
so So this one's gonna get a four pretty good
episode very funny Yeah, I'm right there with
you the comedy in this with the henchmen is just
absolutely awesome, so I'll give it a four as
well What's coming up over on animation aficionados?
Well, let's see, we have a Star Trek episode
that should have been, yeah, it should be up
by, well, it should have been up way a long time
ago by the time you listened to this. Let's see,
we have something about French anime that is
probably also released by now. Sacre bleu. Sacre
bleu. A ble du fromage? I don't recall if we
have anything after that. Yeah, I don't know.
There's also another podcast that Ben's doing
with JT from Saskatoon that's called Comic -Con
of Sewers that I appear on a few episodes and
they're basically just talking about comics and
stuff. So that's kind of fun. It's in the same
feed, so just listen to that as a supplementary
podcast. What's going on with Decian? Well, chapter
9 is going and there's a lot of fighting and
a lot of... Major plot twist coming up or God,
I don't know when this is coming. It might have
happened already, but I'm probably not so yeah,
just Just keep your eyes peeled on that and it
should be ending around Christmas Alright, thank

available Fridays on GeekCast Radio Network from
the producers of XRG. New name, same ****. So,
the foolish princess is attempting a rescue,
is she? Yes, and Link is with her. What? Impossible!
Link is right there! I heard his voice, Abel
Des, and Zelda seemed to be able to see him,
though I could not. Then that's the explanation.
I captured only Link's body. His spirit stayed
behind. But one thing puzzles me. Why would Zelda
be able to see him? Well, she can only do that
if... No. No, any impossible. What is it, Aebonas?
Zelda could only see Link if... if she was in
love with him! Zelda in love with Link! How disgusting!
So... Now don't get the wrong idea, Buster. You
love me, huh? Oh, I do not! Yes, you do. Yes,
you do. That's why you can see me. No! I mean,
maybe just a little. Zelda loves me! Zelda loves
me! Shut up, you idiot! He'll hear you!
