Season 12 Bonus 3   This week we’re going to engage in some baseless speculation about the dungeons cut from the Wind Waker. There is not much – if anything – we truly know about these dungeons. But that’s not going to stop us from having some fun and speculating what could have become of them, and why I think they wound up in Twilight Princess.    Sources:    https://www.nintendoforums.com/articles/40/super-play-magazine-interviews-shigeru-miyamoto-about-zelda  https://www.eurogamer.net/i-zelda-gc  https://archive.org/details/electronic-gaming-monthly-issue-167-june-2003/page/38/mode/1up?view=theater  https://web.archive.org/web/20060510063954/http://www.ntsc-uk.com/feature.php?featuretype=int&fea=ShigeruMiyamoto  https://web.archive.org/web/20211106160906/https://www.glitterberri.com/a-link-to-the-past/the-men-who-made-zelda/  Retro Gamer #135, pgs. 24-26 https://web.archive.org/web/20130721113126/http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=interviews&id=2003-05-23-cav-e3-aonu-tww&m=html  https://www.eurogamer.net/the-wind-wakers-missing-dungeons-were-reused-in-other-zelda-games  https://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/25/the-story-of-zelda-wind-waker  https://goodblood.games/wind-waker-interview  Hyrule Historia pgs. 158, 162, 163

Season 12 Bonus 2   This week we’re going to be talking about how Zelda dungeons are made. This episode is to use a February 2015 article from Kotaku as a jumping off point. Steven Totilo asked Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma directly about how Zelda Dungeons were designed. He gave some general answers, and I will try to supplement his answers with some additional information from other interviews with the developers of the Zelda series.    Legendary Adventures is a Legend of Zelda playthrough podcast.
