Make Me a Nerd Takes a Hearty Breath of the Wild with Jonny Lee, Jr.

Make Me A Nerd with Mandy Kaplan

In the latest installment of the podcast "Make Me a Nerd," host Mandy Kaplan ventures into the world of gaming with the help of guest and dear friend, Jonny Lee Jr. This week's mission? Tackling the fan-favorite Nintendo Switch game, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Mandy, a self-proclaimed extrovert and musical theater aficionado, finds herself out of her element as she navigates the vast, often lonely landscape of Hyrule. Armed with a controller and a shirtless avatar named Link (for eye candy purposes, of course), Mandy embarks on a journey filled with puzzling button combinations and the occasional accidental jump instead of a slash.

You might wonder, dear listener, if Mandy will continue her Zelda adventure or retreat to the comfort of her beloved musical theater. One thing is certain: watching a gaming novice navigate the world of Hyrule is an entertaining journey in itself, filled with laughter, frustration, and the occasional longing for the simplicity of an Intellivision controller.
