Episode 55: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Press any Button: A Video Game Podcast

Nicky and Eric play our first Zelda game in this week's episode of Press any Button! The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a 1993 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. It is the first installment in The Legend of Zelda series for a handheld game console. the protagonist, Link, begins the game stranded on Koholint Island, a place guarded by a whale-like deity called the Wind Fish. You fight monsters and solve puzzles while searching for eight musical instruments that will awaken the sleeping Wind Fish and allow him to escape from the island.

Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?) BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc.
