Ep 88: We've finally got our hands on Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and we have a lot to say on it. Ben's not too far into the game but our Zelda obsessive Ed has played pretty much all week. He wasn't impressed at first, but listen to find out what he thinks of it now.
We also chat about Final Fantasty XIV as a summoner, the ending of Bloodborne, and whether the Spanish Eurovision entry deserved any points.
