Episode 16: Train Whistle of the Wide World: Part 1: The Royal Engineer

st.jpg

The Kingdom is beset by the disappearance of the Spirit Tracks, mystical train tracks which bind the Demon King Malladus and provide public transportation.  When the Princess Zelda has her spirit reaved from her body, she and the newest Royal Engineer must depart on a quest to restore the Spirit Tracks and return Zelda's body to its rightful soul. This is the 15th canonical Zelda game, "The Legend of Zelda: Train Whistle of the Wide World", the sequel to Hourglass of Dreams. We discuss the name of The Kingdom, the ambiguities of The Kingdom's history, and the relation of the Demon King Malladus to the Demon King Demise.
