This is lovely as always! I know you mentioned her hair, but I really like the wings, too. I am impressed with it as-is, but if you do more work to it, I'll be interested to see what you add. :)

Netflix recommended "The Pixar Story" to me, seeing as I always rate the Pixar films 5-stars. It's a documentary about the history of the company. The first half-hour or so was necessary to show the challenges it faced as a start-up, but I found the last hour, with behind-the-scenes information...

I am limited in my game library, but it's slowly growing. My current favorite non-Zelda game would probably be Tales of Symphonia. It is well balanced for what I like from my visual media - it has some dark moments and doesn't shy away from the fact that there will be losses during a battle/war...

That would be a perfect excuse for you to play Okami, as Japanese mythology is all over the place in this game. This gamefaqs guide is a good place to start, but it is VERY spoilery if you haven't played the game yet - I wouldn't read it until after you've finished. "Nippon" is a native name...

Tricky decision for me, because while I like a lot of time by myself and love being around nature, I sometimes like the activity of a city. In real life this translates to me preferring to living outside the city limits but within easy traveling distance of bigger cities. I also like temperate...

Can't pick from a wide variety of games, but the ones I've played do have plenty of characters to choose from. I do have an issue where I didn't choose some characters due to the fact that I'd inherit their tragic back story as well...and then promptly choose others who also had a tragic back...

If I know I already plan to buy a game (or any other kind of media), I generally don't read the reviews. It's actually less because of the opinions given and more because of spoilers. I tread the spoiler line carefully when I'm really anticipating something - I may watch a couple trailers to...

Nice theme, RP - you got a lot of creative entries with it! It was really hard to choose. In the end, I picked the one that I was still thinking about when I looked at the thread title again later, and that one was yours. It's nice to think of the Bombers still being friends when they grow...

She didn't "think" it was above the limit, it was above the limit. But since Meego already covered that, a suggestion instead: start your own "Director's Cut" thread in the fanworks section. You could post lengthier versions of the story after the contest is over. (Posting them before would run...

Okay, these are some fun answers. I'm going to try my hand at them, though I won't answer all of them, just the ones I can come up with off the top of my head. 1. why is it that Hyrule keeps rearranging their villages and cities? It's the map makers' fault. They keep trying to make it easier...

I hadn't watched anime in a long time, but I'm currently playing Tales of Symphonia, which inspired an anime - or more specifically, an OVA. There are seven episodes out now (out of, I think, twelve total.) I was unsure about watching it at first (and waited until I was far enough into the...

I'm in favor of people being courteous, so I don't disagree with trying to encourage that. Here's my concern with too strict of a spoiler policy: a thread becomes a string of spoiler quotes instead of discussion. It also sets a different standard here than on the main page. In our articles...

There were some moments in the second half of Okami that were fairly sad/emotional. There are not many character deaths throughout the games, but the few that do pack a lot of punch. There were also several moments throughout the game that made me "Awww," but those were not sad, just nicely...

There was one I look back on with nostalgia - when I was a kid and both my dad and I were into gaming, he was always better than me. Then came Super Mario 3. Finally, I beat a game before he did. Best gaming moment of my childhood. XD I began gaming again a little over a year ago (after a...

I would be a Cucco. I'm highly unassuming, easy to kick around, but beware when I get angry. ...What? It's listed on ZD's OoT enemies page. XD Alternately, a Bubble from the original Legend of Zelda. They can't harm Link, but he can't harm them either, and they're certainly a nuisance in...

I tend to like blogging a lot, but only with privacy settings. So I'm not sure how often I'd use one, but at the same time, I think it would be useful - for example, I've had low activity over the last couple of weeks due to work and that would be a good place to put that. I also could use it...

To me, it's the role fate plays in the game. In other games, despite the overwhelming odds, I personally feel a sense that Link is the one destined to win. In Majora's Mask, he's got some blessings of the goddesses - the Goddess of Time grants him the ability to replay time, after all - but...

Some games have alternate endings depending on how you played the game. For example, in Link's Awakening, it's based on if you didn't die during the game. Another game I'm playing right now has various choices that will affect the plot of the game, and another game in that series has a "good"...

I'd be curious how many games you've played before and what your comfort level is with difficulty. I'm going to mention the ones on that Collector's Disc first. "The Legend of Zelda" is the first game ever released. It's also the most nonlinear and it has hardly any direction in it about where...

I finally got Tales of Symphonia. I've been looking for it, but the first time I found it (used), I wasn't confident about the condition of the discs. It finally showed up at Gamestop and I was comfortable enough to buy it. I've barely started the journey, but it's one of my first RPGs, and...

I've used the report button before, but only when something seems very offensive (inappropriate language, for example.) I was thinking more of the comments that were spammy but inoffensive enough that I otherwise wouldn't normally clutter your inbox with, considering how much else you have to...

Main site suggestion - have you considered having a couple of mods for the "Intense Debate" comments on the main page? I don't think it would require a lot of work after the initial crackdown, but some of the anonymous users are causing issues on some posts. See here, for example, with some of...

Actually, I've thought something similar - the ability to turn off hints. The character could stick around for all story-related reasons, but players who wanted more difficulty could do it all on their own. One reason I like side characters is that you can get hints about Link's personality...

If it would involve being remade, I think both Link's Awakening and Minish Cap would work, but I am partial to Minish Cap myself (as you can probably tell by my current signature/avatar.) One reason I think it would work well is because of the Minish aspect of the game. I just played a 3D game...

I just meant the opening cut scenes...there's not a specific scene in there that looks exactly like your art, but the style just reminds me of the overall mood and atmosphere. It's nice either way - I was just curious. :)

Not sure how obvious this is, but the Bunny Hood will let you jump farther, too. This can actually be a disadvantage to me at times because I overshoot a platform. Also, not sure if it's worth mentioning, but during the Anju and Kafei quest, I believe the one step you don't have to complete is...

I ended up voting for Adam. As FD said, it was just such great use of the subtheme. The fairies' dialogue would have been enough to make me laugh, but then Link having to deal with that instead of Ganondorf w/Majora's Mask in the background was just icing on the cake. RP, I'm still learning...

I'm in the same position as you right now, but on the other hand, I've been in what was essentially a desk job before as well and wouldn't have minded getting a chance to move around after that, especially in winter. What's a bigger issue to me with the trend toward movement is wondering how...

I definitely feel it can be cluttered. Even if the general works/fan works aren't divided, there are enough contests right now that I think their own subsection would be good. I may be the only one to think so, but I also think it'd be fun to have an artists' corner. I'm a writer, so I'm...

Since I an only choose one, I am going to select forest, though my favorites come from a wide variety of elements. I find ice/snow dungeons very beautiful. Some of them also feel very isolated, but not in a bad way; more like no one else is willing to brave the elements to appreciate all that...

If I'm just going with characters I think would make a good protagonist - Nabooru. She's spunky and adventurous enough, but when you have to factor in the plot of Ocarina of Time, the end might make it tricky to think of a good side story that actually relates to the first game. Even more...

Probably the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES. I had Atari games before that, but I'm not sure I would count those, since I don't remember a lot of them and they didn't make a big impression on me. On the other hand, my dad and I played the Mario games together, with a little friendly...

Could have sworn I'd replied to this post before, but apparently not. The very first game I played was the original Legend of Zelda. In a sense, it was the one that "pulled me in" because it interested me enough to seek out the others. For that matter, one reason I got a Wii was because of the...

Heaven is a Place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle This song was not current when I was in high school, but it reminds me of it because several of my friends like it. I also use to sing it during karaoke with my friends. That's more recent, but in a phase of life that's ended, so it just adds to...

I'd be happy with either type of personality. I always felt that Twilight Princess Link did have personality of his own - it was more subdued, but it was there. Vember's mentioned some already, and there's also moments like when Ilia doesn't recognize him and he reaches out in confusion. He's...

The last time I played Twilight Princess, I did this a lot in the fishing hole. It's a particularly fun place to do this since its seasons change. I also love little details in games, and Hena is responsible for a lot of cute remarks. One of my favorites actually relates to this topic - if you...

One thing I like about myself is that I'm pretty good at coming up with resolutions year-round. Meaning, not only do I not wait to start a new one, but if I fall off the wagon, I just shrug and get back on it. I still like New Year's resolutions, though. They're generally about optimism and...

Secret of Mana...hmm. That's a good thought, Djinn. I'm looking for some games to play in the spring/summer and that will be one I consider. I just finished playing Okami and will be replaying a Zelda game soon. In the meantime, I think I am going to try Paper Mario and the Thousand Year...

I finished playing the game over the holidays and decided to write an in-depth review/recommendation for people who are curious about the game but haven't played it yet. My intent in the review was to include background information and smaller details rather than spoil any major plot point...

Hmm...I actually wouldn't mind if there were some changes. Not to the basic story structure. I think, in that sense, it will always be "The OoT We Know and Love." However, for example, adding more character interactivity. Throwing in another simple sidequest or two. Making it possible to go...

nicktheslayer: I like your collection, though my personal preference is to have one image to focus on that has more detail. Still, "Purse?" made me laugh. RP: the fact that the Master Sword is on the bed and Link's holding the Biggoron Sword leads me to believe he's accessorizing. Very funny...

I may have to come back and edit this when the old computer with my biggest iTunes library has a working power cord and I can check the purchase dates. Until then, I'll have to go by season, rather than month. January - March: I was a couple games into the Zelda series, but was just beginning...

Some interesting ideas already mentioned! I never thought about the origin of Dark Link being explained in-game, but I'm intrigued. I'd like to see any ancient sage that has been referenced previously. Perhaps even Rauru, depending on how far back Skyward Sword is set, and if sages have a...

I'm thinking about this again after playing the Fishing Hole in Twilight Princess. I'm not sure if that would be considered a side quest or a mini-game - to me, it's a little of both. To catch the Hylian Loach, you have to catch other kinds of fish first with some of the regular lures. With...

While I agree with that, I personally found the Bottom of the Well a lot creepier. It's partly just the way I associated with it. I know, logically, that the Shadow Temple has lower levels, but they went down gradually (and a lot of rooms had higher ceilings). Whereas with the bottom of the...

Took the words right out of my mouth with the Art book. Haven't thought of a soundtrack, but that would be nice. And it would be nice to have unique pieces in each one in case official versions were released later. I always liked figurines or plushies as well. I don't know that we'll...

Mine is about 30 hours. Every time I play I end up coming close to a 100% run, even if I didn't intend to do that starting out. There are just sometimes a handful of poes I can't motivate myself to find. I also horse around a lot in various places of the game so that I can spot little details...

Agreed. I don't mind a lot of items, but I'd like more uses for them. I always thought the double clawshot was a missed opportunity for mountain climbing. The spinner would have been awesome in a hidden cave where it was the only form of transportation. And beyond that, just more hidden spinner...

I'm listening to it right now. Really nice so far! I know fan projects like this take so much work. Thanks for sharing it. :)

Lol at your Winnie the Pooh pic! I like your style! Puppy Link is also adorable. Thanks for sharing your blog with us. :) Eta: And aww at the Christmas poem.
