Note - This episode originally aired in May 2024. I've decided to add all Bonus Round episodes, sequentially and on a 14-month delay, to the main feed, so that EVERYONE can enjoy these fun, classic gaming banter sessions.

Patrons will still get NEW Bonus Round episodes every month. Bonus Round 42.5 - Our Top 5 JRPGs just went live a few days ago, so if you'd like to catch up, head over to Patreon and support the show at the Fire Flower level or higher.

Hey Retro Gamers! On today's episode of Smashing Bricks we spend 3184 Rupees in 2002 money to pay some weirdo to decipher maps in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the Nintendo GameCube.
