I just finished Ocarina of Time again for the first time in about 15 years. Man, I knew this game was good, but it still amazes me how good it is. The characters, the story, the music, everything is just dripping with quality.

When I was a kid, Ronald McDonald scared me to death. I had many nightmares about this effing clown. I used to collect spiders. I've had pet snakes. I'm not really afraid of anything. But I still would love to bash that guy's face in. I wouldn't even go to the play area at McDonalds as a...

Just had BBQ'd chicken and asparagus. Then I found some marshmallows, chocolate, and bananas. I mixed them together in some foil and threw it on the Q. The result was amazing. Here's a photo..

It has to be the Deku Nuts from Ocarina of Time. These things are so useless, for both child and adult Link. I mean, has anyone ever used these for any reason, ever?

I don't like this idea. I LOVE this idea. Nintendo: please, please do this. Ocarina of Time on the 3DS is an amazing experience, and the game is gorgeous. I think re-doing MM in the same fashion is a no-brainer.

Well, I am clearly older than most people here... I was about 9 years old (1988). I played a little bit of LoZ at a friend's house, but without knowing what to do, I didn't really like the game, and quickly went back to playing Super Mario Bros. A short time later, my mom gave me LoZ for a...

Since when does damsel in distress = sexist? Zelda does, at times, appear to be helpless when in the clutches of Ganon. Is this sexist? She is not portrayed as weak; just captured. Is it sexist that Link is male a Zelda is female? Zelda is so important that it causes Link to risk his life...

I think the next Zelda game needs to take some risks. The franchise is at risk of becoming stale. The great thing about The Legend of Zelda is that it is a legend. They should take this concept and do something they have never done before. I'm not sure exactly what they should do, but it...

LoZ is the shortest game. I just went through the first quest in less than 2 hours. However, if you don't know where all of the items are and hidden dungeons, it would take much, much longer. I think the easiest is Link's Awakening. I just went through this game as well for the first time...

Did anyone ever wonder why the first two Zelda games were made with gold-colored cartridges? I never really thought about it. I mean, it's not like gold is a theme in The Legend of Zelda. In fact, I don't believe gold is ever mentioned in any form. The currency is rupees. The only rings...

I have completed this game many times over the years. I think it's one of the better titles on the NES. There are a couple of tricks you must know in order to beat the game: 1. Save all of the extra lives for your final trip to the end palace. I honestly don't think the game is possible...

Tetris (Gameboy) - It came with the system, but I played the crap out of this game because it is a brilliant and addictive game. Super Mario Bros. - Not much to say about this. Pure classic and countless hours logged. Final Fantasy III (SNES) - My personal favorite all-time video game. I...

I would love to see a sequel to: Zelda 2 Link's Awakening OoT TP

I have been reading a book called The Happiness Advantage, by Shawn Achor. The theme of the book is this: Success does not create happiness. Happiness creates success.

Based on the number of quality hours I have spent playing these games, I rank my favorite series as follows: 1. Zelda 2. Mario 3. Final Fantasy 4. Metroid 5. Call of Duty 6. Guitar Hero 7. Super Mario Kart
