Original Daredevil Showrunner Confirms He’s Involved in The Defenders
Drew Goddard may not have been as involved with Marvel’s Daredevil as originally intended, but the co-writer and director of The Cabin in the Woods and Academy Award nominated writer of The Martian has returned to the Marvel/Netflix fold for The Defenders series.
Goddard is listed as an executive producer on the series, which will team Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, and when I spoke to him this past week about the new NBC comedy series, The Good Place (Goddard directed the pilot), he told me his Defenders title isn’t just ceremonial and he is involved as much as he can be, while juggling other projects.
“I was there this morning,” Goddard said, referring to the Defenders writers room. “I’ll be there tomorrow. It’s been fun.

Top 10 Zelda Games of All Time
For three decades now, Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series has constantly found interesting ways to reinvent itself into evocative and groundbreaking adventure games. The recipe is similar but each game manages to still feel remarkably distinct. With such a track record of perfection, we couldn’t help but wonder: what are the top 10 Zelda games of all time? Join us as IGN sets off on a quest through the vast worlds of Hyrule to answer this difficult question.
Originally envisioned as a trilogy for the Gameboy Color, Oracle of Seasons and its counterpart, Oracle of Ages, found our hero exploring the lands of Holodrum and Labrynna, respectively. As a spiritual successor to Link's Awakening, each game focused on a different aspect of the Zelda experience: Seasons focused on combat while Ages was more about puzzle solving. Traveling between eras and manipulating the weather leads to some genuinely clever puzzles and the ability to equip rings to improve Link's stats brought back RPG elements that would be seen in later games. The real brilliance behind each of these games is the way they compliment each other. You can play only one, but you'll only get half the story. - Zach Ryan
