    If you wrote a book...........

    Historical fiction. I love fantasy and science fiction, so it would have elements of both, but I tend to ground my stories firmly in reality.

    Stephen King

    A very gifted writer who tends to ramble on too much. He's miscast as a horror writer. Nothing he wrote ever scared me, even as a kid. His characterizations, however, are beyond anything I've ever read. Most characters in his books act and sound like someone you'd meet everyday. I've read...

    Link Can Talk Its Just Hard to Notice

    Link does talk, he's just a low-talker like that chick from Seinfeld.

    Disturbed

    They got some good songs, but are a little to angry for my taste. I like my rock about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Leave the violence at the door.

    Spirited Away

    I've always been of the opinion that Miyazaki is the only person who can make a Zelda movie that does the series justice. My favorite Miyazaki movie is Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

    What the HELL was Nintendo thinking?!

    So don't buy them. People act like this is a new trend. This has gone on since Atari. Part of being a gamer is wading through all the crap to find the good games. If that bothers you, find a new hobby.

    Favorite Superhero.

    I'm a DC nut, so obviously I love Superman and Batman, but for my money...

    Favorite Comedian

    What exactly has Carlos Mencia stolen? Because if you want a thief, it's a proven fact that Dane Cook steals most of his material, mostly because he is too busy developing his tremendous ego rather then original jokes.

    More Than One Ganon?

    The only game where he is confirmed D-E-D dead is the backstory of Adventure of Link (i.e., the end of Legend of Zelda). In every other game, its implied if not outright said that he is sealed. Ergo, there is only one Ganon. And Ganodorf = Ganon.

    OoT, MM, and WW Remade for Wii?

    We already have all those games for the Wii. I popped in my Zelda anthology disk into the Wii just the other day and I played it just fine. Same with Wind Waker.

    Enemies AI

    Well, Link was always portrayed as several tiers above your average mook. It makes sense he can sleepwalk his way through Hyrule field and not get scratched by moblin/bublins/whatever is currently haunting the landscape. But for enemies like Darknuts, I would certainly embrace a more in...

    A Scary Thought

    As others have said, Miyamoto has already taken great strides in handing his franchises to capable people. Zelda is now pretty much Aonuma's baby, and Miyamoto plays the role of the guru/advisor. Once Aonuma chooses to retire, he'll have his own protoge that he trained to take over the...

    Do You Think Ganondorf is Naive?

    One could argue that arrogance is a form of naivety. Its standard villain hat that they typically underestimate their opponent, which is why the really good ones try to off the hero while he or she is still weaning on milk. ...doesn't always work.

    Super Mario Bros. Movie

    Safely sheltered, would be my guess. Trust me, its nowhere close to being decent.

    Was Ganondorf "chosen" or Not

    Do we know the exact moment the timeline split in OoT? I always assumed that it split the moment Ganondorf found the Triforce, but Twilight Princess proved that theory wrong.
