This episode is just an excuse to talk about Zelda and other TC news

We don’t spend a lot of time taking a deep-dive into the consumer experience of gaming. But one of the biggest stories in tech this week is the much-anticipated release of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch. So Darrell is joined by Taylor Hatmaker to have a moderately spoiler-free conversation about what Link is getting up to.
