Curiosity Shop #103: Zelda Dungeon Mailbag
Posted on November 22 2012 by Axle D. Wilder
Hey guys! New mailbag! Got a fair number of broad questions this time, covering wider topics relating to the series in general, but we’ve also got a pair of A Link to the Past questions this time, which is cool because we don’t see that a ton. Two Skyward Sword questions as well. And one that seems inspired by a joke I made on the Halloween mailbag! 11 questions in all. Enjoy! You can watch the video here or check out the embed after the jump.
Questions and timestamps:
(00:20) – Do you like to change Link’s name in the games? Do you put something ridiculous?
(01:05) – Which is better for the series? Orchestrated or sequenced music?
(02:28) – Have you heard of the 3-heart challenge? Have you done it, or will you do it?
(03:45) – How would you feel about more spinoff games or direct sequels in the series?
(04:51) – Do you think it would have been better if, instead of making an official timeline, Nintendo had just said that each game is the same story retold?
(05:54) – Are the Poes based on Edgar Allen Poe?
(06:27) – Why is Link’s hair pink in A Link to the Past if it’s brown in the artwork?
(07:22) – Do you think its a coincidence that the villain gains the trust of the king by becoming his adviser in both A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time?
(07:42) – I liked how a lot of the dungeons in Twilight Princess appeared to be more natural environments. What did you think of this and should they continue this theme?
(08:29) – How exactly did the Mogmas go extinct, and did the Zoras just evolve… A LOT?
(09:29) – I read that the Timeshift Stones send the area back exactly 1000 years. Is this true?

How about your thoughts about the questions? Do you give Link a custom name or leave it as Link? What do you change it to? Tell me your thoughts on that and any other questions you want in the comments!
