A note on the audiobook: All music credits can be found on this project's YouTube channel. Click on the chapter you're interested in and view the credits at the end of the video. Look for DragonRand100 audiobooks. I've started adding them here, but it will be a while before the complete list is available. 

Also, in response to some consistent listener complaints, I do apologize if the repeats in some chapters have been a sore point for you,  I am attempting to address this issue. This will take time (no pun intended), but I will fix it. Please be patient. Given that this audiobook is 60 hours long editing post-production is no small process. Fortunately, or maybe not so, fortunately, with lockdown continuing, I may have more time on my hands to fix the problem. 

Also, in regard to the inconsistent pronunciation, and I'm sure many of you are aware of this, please keep in mind that until the last decade, canon pronunciation was not a big thing in the Zelda franchise. Until then, everyone has been coming up with their own pronunciation which they’ve been using for years, a habit that proved very hard for everyone to break during production. I did have my boundaries on what was acceptable during the audition process. That said, this production has been a long learning process on making audiobooks, and I'll be working on that in future episodes.

To the many who have been more forgiving of these details, thank you. I hope you are all staying safe and well in these difficult times.

  • Ocarina of Time Audiobook- Audio Preview- A Father's Regret

    05:37|
    Hi all, In the spirit of quarantine I've taken the time to give this podcast a little bit of a tidy (mainly in the earlier chapters), now that I'm stuck at home until further notice (sad face). This is the third of three trailers that were originally made as part of the YouTube channel, this one brought to you by Stefanie Hazen, who voiced Adult Zelda's chapters. This one takes place after Zelda is captured, and any major spoilers have been removed. Here Zelda converses with the ghost of Hyrule's late king, her father. I hope you are all staying safe and well during this difficult time. A note on the audiobook: All music credits can be found on this project's YouTube channel. Click on the chapter you're interested in and view the credits at the end of the video. Look for DragonRand100 audiobooks.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dragonrand100/message

    Hi all, In the spirit of quarantine I've taken the time to give this podcast a little bit of a tidy (mainly in the earlier chapters), now that I'm stuck at home until further notice (sad face). This is the second of three trailers that were originally made as part of the YouTube channel, this one brought to you by Elder Link, who voiced some of Adult Link's chapters. It features a slightly abridged version of another speech- this one by one of Zelda's officers- made in the lead up to the final confrontation with Ganondorf. Enjoy!
