I've had an interesting time with lots of dungeons, but I've never had more trouble with a dungeon than the last level of LoZ1. Everyone tells me that Zelda 2 was harder, and that's true, but this is primarily due to an interface I can only describe as "most crappy" and probably the worst hit...

My favorite enemy in Zelda games has to be the Gleeok in the original Legend of Zelda. The first time I saw it I remember thinking, "I can take a two headed dragon!" Then I cut its head off and we all know how that goes. I think I died three or four times before I could finally kill it, and...

"Two, three, one. Twenty-three is number one!" -- Deku Scrub; The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time

I enjoy the cel-shaded style they're making now, and I really enjoyed it for WW, but personally, I do prefer the TP style graphics for a Zelda game. I like the feel of it in a realistic art style. The cel-shading does what it does, but that's something completely different. It makes it sort...

I think the entire reason Navi has an annoying quality is mostly just from the perspective of veterans of the game. Personally, I thought Navi was an immensely helpful addition to the game the first time I went through, but then I did again and again, and there's a certain breaking point where...

I've personally always been quite partial to any game which has its own orchestrated music, which has become quite popular with some of the newer games. Twilight Princess was one particular game I liked for this, and I also liked how it was the same song only played in forty-seven different...

Overall, I think I've seen some things I wouldn't necessarily mind having again, but there are definitely things I could easily get out of and things that have never been added that I don't think would add to the overall game experience. First of all, I can not stress enough how very, very...

Hah, controversy, I love it! I'd like to point out that the difference in Epona, in my own opinion, is largely due to console difference. The less powerful Nintendo 64 couldn't quite hold as much information. If a Goblin gets hit by a horse, it's probably going to die. There were just a lot...

It brings up other such silly issues with translation as "All your base are belong to us." Oh, what the Japanese language has done! I don't know, I only had the version on NES and I got all the remakes, obviously, but it seems like they would have at least changed the game content because it...

Actually, there have been quite a few Naruto games for PS2 as well as I believe DS. There was also a fighting game with several characters from Jump Comics released for DS that was actually quite similar to Super Smash Brothers in the way that there was a buttload of characters who readily beat...

I did a three heart run of Ocarina when I was waiting for TP to come out and it was a ton o' fun. I never quite beat it 'cause I did a minimum equipment run as well so I only had one bottle and no half damage thing. In other words, Ganondorf would kill me in one hit and I only had one fairy so...

Micaiah. Now on to bigger and better things. Honestly, I've thought of this a whole bunch. Not only what I would put in personally, but also what possibilities are there for future Smash Bros. titles. Things I've come up with are the obvious things that we all have thought of, good ol'...

Oh, boy is this the topic for me. Speaking of the Travel channel's strangest food shows, I once saw them do my personal favorite food, the national food of Scotland, good ol' haggis! It's made by boiling the internal organs of a sheep with wheat, barley, and oats. The original recipe used...

Volvagia has a certain nostalgic feel for me every time I go through the game again. There's something about playing Whack-a-Mole with a giant lava dragon. Plus the first time I was fighting him, he hit me down to one heart so I grabbed my milk, and he was just at the perfect angle when I...

I think this piece of art is great. It lets us know there's a new Zelda game coming for all of us happy fans, and there's going to be something we've never seen before, weather or not we can agree on what precisely it is. Honestly, I think the theory that the chick is the Master Sword is quite...
