About the episode

Ben saddles up on Epona (and his Skyborne Galestrider) to cover a couple of classics that just got fresh coats of paint, ponder the nature of nostalgia, and discuss how to update games that don’t leave a lot of room for improvement. First, Ben and Polygon’s Giovanni Colantonio review Nintendo’s new Switch 2 remake of the all-time great adventure The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Then, Gio’s Polygon colleague Oli Welsh joins to break down the post-Ocarina, pre–GTA VI Game of the Year race; explain the new branch of Blizzard’s signature MMO, World of Warcraft: Forever; and question whether WoW is truly eternal.

Host: Ben Lindbergh
