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.

Sky's playing: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion (NSO)
Matt's playing: Terra Nil (Android/Netflix)
