A Link to the Past Update

Well, Ganon is officially dead.

I beat the game!

I have to say, the final battle with Ganon is probably one of the most epic final bosses I've battled.  And that's saying a lot for a 2D game, seeing as the bosses aren't usually as... viewable?  I guess?  in 2D games.

It took me several tries, but in the end wasn't really too hard.  And my final death count for the game is....

Yep.  214.

That's a lot.

That is a legitimate screenshot taken right from my computer, about 10 minutes before I posted this update.

Oh, if you're wondering how I'm playing this on my computer, I'm using an emulator, but it's legal.  Don't worry, I got it legally.  There's this cool place my friend showed me where you can get ROMs for an emulator legally.  You still have to pay for them and whatnot.  Now that I know it's coming to Wii U, I'll probably get it for that, too, but I didn't want to wait that long.  So I bought it sooner.  :P

Anyway, remember my friend who I showed Zelda to recently?  That I mentioned earlier?  Well, he's already quit.  :(

Yeah, he just said to me one day "I think I'm gonna uninstall Zelda.  I think it's slowing down my computer."  And I'm like, "You DO know it's a 16-bit game, right?"  And he's like, "Yeah, but still."

I'm almost 100% sure it's because he couldn't beat Moldorm, but whatever.  I guess Zelda's just not for everyone.

Speaking of friends, my other friend, who's liked Zelda for a long time (as far as I know, I think before I knew about it) just had his birthday recently.  He's my only friend who likes Zelda.  Unless my uncle counts, but... whatever.

Anyway, (gosh, I can get off-topic) as I said, my friend had a birthday recently, and he got a 3DS with OoT 3D.  And my birthday's coming up in June, and I'm going to get a 3DS and OoT too.

So I plan on having him over or something, and we're gonna race!  It's just some idea I had...  We'll see who can beat the Deku tree first, and then who can become Adult Link first, and who can beat the Water Temple first, etc.

So I'm really looking forward to my birthday.

On another note, I'm out of school now!  I was REALLY lucky to exempt all of my exams.  To exempt you need an A in the class, and in 2 classes I had an 89.5, but thankfully, they grade on the curve.  So I'm out a week early.  :D

And yesterday I started to play Skyward Sword on Hero Mode, which for some reason I'd never done before, and now I just beat the Earth Temple and had to watch the sad cutscene where Zelda and Impa leave poor Link behind.  There are three parts in this game that make me really sad, and that's one of them.  The others are when Zelda seals herself in the crystal, again leaving Link behind, and the third is when Fi has to go, AGAIN leaving Link behind.  See a connection?  XD

Alright, so... this is my first time playing Skyward Sword on the huge HD TV that we got for Christmas, and it's really cool because the TV's on an arm thing attached to the wall where you can adjust how high it is and how close it-- never mind.  It's hard to explain.

My point is, it's really fun playing Skyward Sword on a big TV.  With lots of room to swing your "sword".  :)

That's all I have to say for now... if it weren't for ALttP, I probably wouldn't have made this post today, but I beat it, and I felt the urge to post something.

Happy Zelda-ing!  

...That didn't come out right...

Happy.... er.... video gaming?  Yeah... whatever.  Bye!  :)

Zelda Dungeon Mailbag!

Yay!  My question was on the question mailbag #....

....

#120!

Yeah.  On Zelda Dungeon.  Anyway, that was my first time sending in a question.  I asked something about if there was going to be a second Hyrule Historia.  Something like that.

You can see the video here:

I'm at 10:20.

Note: I do not own this video.  This is the property of Axle the Beast, or whatever his real name is, and Zelda Dun... no, Dungeon Gaming Interprises, LLC Inc. ®   ...Or whatever it's called.

Anyway, what do you think?  Will they eventually release a second Hyrule Historia in the future to cover the games post-Skyward Sword?  Tell me in the comments below!

Or don't.  Whatever, I don't care.  Be that way.

Oh, and my A Link to the Past update:

I'm now in the Dark World dungeon with the 4th maiden/crystal thing.  This boss is hard!  If you haven't played this, basically, you find the boss room early on in the dungeon, but there's... no boss in it.  So you continue to explore, and eventually you find the maiden in the dungeon, and she asks you to take her outside.  "Um... okay.... No boss I guess?"  And when you reach the exit door, she's all like "YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!"  What the heck princess?  This is the door... to the outside... where you asked me... to take... you...

So she pretty much just follows you around, until you go to the boss room, and there's nothing there, so you've got to go to the room above the boss room and bomb the floor, to let the light shine in the boss room, and take her back down there.  Turns out she's Blind the Thief.  Now, a long time ago, (a really long time.  Like, so long that you won't remember it) you received this one piece of information from this dude in the Light World who says something like "This used to be the lair of the thief named Blind, yo.  Apparently, Blind really hated light, yo Link dawg man wassup."  Now, he didn't really say all that, but I vividly remember a "yo" appearing somewhere in there.

So anyway, it turns out that the maiden is actually Blind, not blind, but Blind, the name, and Blind is incredibly hard.  She's probably not actually blind.  If she is a she.  I doubt it.  Whatever.

So I'm working on that in ALttP, after getting stuck in the Skull Woods dungeon for a long time.  I'm not using a walkthrough for this game.  Period.  Kinda like I didn't with Skyward Sword.  Except this is a lot harder to do without a walkthrough.

So, bye!  See you later.

OH!  PS:  Am I the only one who thinks that they should make the third oracle game?  In case you didn't know, they originally planned to do that, but they cancelled it.  Since Seasons is focused on action and Ages on puzzles, I think they should make a third focused on... I don't know.  Something to do with courage.  That would be cool if they made it as a follow-up game to the game they never made.
