So I SUPPOSE it is time to explain Zelda and my love of the games (there
are 16 different adventures over the past 25 years). Currently I am
playing The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap for the Game Boy Advance (yes
yes I AM kicking it old school style right now). I started playing/
watching and actively participating in the playing of Zelda when I was
in elementary school. My brother and I started with The Legend of Zelda A
Link to the Past for the Super Nintendo, we loved it and it was one of
the few things we could do together without trying to kill each other
(gotta love those sibling rivalries). We later ungraded to a N64 and The
Legend of Zelda the Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask in 1999, these
games were where my love of Zelda really took off. I actually played
these two and solved dungeons for myself. I got so wrapped up in the
story lines and side quests that it felt like I was reading a choose
your own adventure book! I also played The Legend of Zelda the Wind
Waker for the Game Cube which was a huge change in animation but
personally I enjoyed it. It created more of a story book sense of things
and instead of running around with a horse you were sailing the high
seas. Of course I took time away from Zelda games for a while, I did
have to focus on school and dating tends to keep you away from
individual pass times like that. So I suppose I got back into Zelda when
my husband Paul gave me a Nintendo 3DS with the Legend of Zelda Ocarina
Of Time 3D for Christmas. Receiving a new system created a new venue
for adventure with 2 new games for me to enjoy; The Legend of Zelda the Phantom Hourglass (DS), and The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks (DS).
Of course once you are hooked you can't help yourself sometimes and you ... end up... with Link and Zelda costumes and you ... somehow... end up at anime and gaming conventions... and eventually... get your photo taken by random people because you look like you're from a game! (Side note: I was really surprised at the amount of female link cos-players... we had our photo taken a lot because Paul in a guy and I am a girl...) AND THEN you randomly go out and purchase a wii because that is the console with the new Zelda game (Skyward Sword, and a game I missed out on Twilight Princess). I know there will come a day where I wont want to play as much again but Zelda will always have a special place in my heart. It is good clean adventuring! And yes I know there is such thing as an excessive amount, I do have balance in my life, I am graduating from college in a month or so! :)
