Hey folks! I think this post got gobbled up on the way to your feed so lemme send it again!

New Boss Keys. The penultimate episode, with a detour to examine the games that started it all before we wrap up with Breath of the Wild. Probably in January.

Then, a break! And then season 2. Which, more than likely, will be Metroid.

The Legend of Zelda / Zelda II's dungeon design | Boss Keys

You asked for it! Before we finish Boss Keys season one, by looking at the most recent Zelda game (Breath of the Wild), let's take a detour to the games that started it all - Zelda 1 and 2 on the NES.

Oop! I think you set the YouTube video to public by accident too! Maybe? Who knows. Great episode!

Why didn't you make charts for the Zelda 1 dungeons? Do you have a set of charts for all the games somewhere?

Excellent choice of credits music.

Because the Zelda 1 dungeons aren't self-contained, as he said - keys have to be carried over between dungeons sometimes, and can be at any time, so they'd be like the one chart he did show that was basically just a list.

I really enjoyed this episode, Mark! I know you said you didn’t want to do it because the level design wasn’t so great, but hearing you critique why it didn’t work, and how the ideas were fixed later was really illuminating. I hope you do more of this type of video, where you take some innovative almost-but-not-quite ideas, critique them, and maybe give some ideas of how to fix it. I’d find that super valuable!

I really liked the little chronological sum up you make at the end of the video. Very concise and it shows how far you've gone in understanding Zelda's dungeons' philosophy. Even though Zelda 1 and 2 dungeons weren't worth of an entire episode, I think this could make for a nice introduction to the series, summing up all the design evolutions the series will see in the other boss keys episodes.
