Preeti is joined by guest and Zelda aficionado Heeral Chhibber to detail all the information it might be good to know before getting into that Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom play on May 12. Heeral takes us through what we should pull from Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild and how all the games (sort of) tie together. She also digs deep into Ganondorf lore and what we might see from the King in the new game.Episodic links:Heeral's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chhibblet/Heeral's Twitter: https://twitter.com/Heeral_Chhibber Heeral's website: http://www.heeral.org
