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"...

What are the best Zelda boss concepts? Not necessarily the best bosses, mind you - I mean something that was great in theory even if it wasn't implemented to your satisfaction. Discussion for improvement optional, but would help. I'm going to go with a top 5, but feel free to make suggestions...

Pretty much what it says in the title. What are some things that you're not necessarily talented at but enjoy doing anyway? And talent, of course, is subjective...go with your own personal definition. Me, I'm not so great at drawing. My life goal is to eventually be able to doodle something...

What's your take on spoilers (any media)? Do you seek them out and read all you can get? Do you avoid them at all costs? Somewhere in between? I will read most spoilers - for example, I watch Glee, but still seek out the songs that will be sung each week and what guest stars will be...

I think because of Majora's Mask Month, I've been thinking about side quests lately. Many people loved the number of side quests in Majora's Mask, but to me, a lot of those - namely, the ones involving masks - were very specific to that game, and having that quantity in another game would...

A short ficlet that uses a lot of creative license, but I wanted to write something darker than usual for Halloween, and this was a good setting to twist the story in. Game: Majora's Mask Rating: PG for dark themes **************** The Price of Masks **************** He felt stabs of...

Okay, this doesn't deal with a specific game, but I assumed this was the best place to put this thread because it's a quick question that can be closed once I have an answer. If I assumed wrong, sorry mods. :( I've been using regular batteries for my Wiimote. The length of time they last is...

As the subject says, what are some aspects that add to the difficulty of a game for you? And by difficult, I mean the "good" kind of difficulty, if you will - the puzzles that make you think, the bosses that have a pattern but you have to be precise, etc. Not difficult because of poor game...

One person posts a picture of a cloud. The next person says what the cloud looks like them and posts a picture of another cloud. As always, let's keep it PG. My picture! ...KIDDING. Though seriously, I found it easier to search for "cloudy sky" than "cloud", precisely because of...

Anyone have any tips for sumo wrestling Gor Coron? I do fine against Mayor Bo, but then I get to him and it feels totally random. Half the time I can't grab him and the other half I never seem to dodge the right way. I assume it's probably just me, because...well, it usually is. (I have...

Do you ever have odd lines, thoughts, or associations when you're playing a game? I just finished replaying the original Legend of Zelda recently. I'll have times I throw the magical boomerang but walk off screen before I catch it. When that happens I think to myself, "I don't think...

To my knowledge, I could only choose one prefix, hence the spoiler in the title...which you probably guessed anyway, due to it the subject. :P Still, major plot spoilers. In Link's Awakening, he is originally on a boat. His boat is destroyed, and he later reawakens on Koholint Island. We...

What are some things you remember from childhoood? And the definition of "childhood" may vary to people of different ages, but I'll place no upper or lower limit on it. The memory can be good, bad, or just random. Some background for mine: the house I grew up in had a huge fenced-in yard. It...

As I've mentioned before, I lived in Japan a couple years, but have been away longer than I lived there and have forgotten a lot of what I've learned due to lack of use. I'd like to return for a vacation within the next couple years, however, and plan to start studying it again. Since I've seen...

Arkvoodle's post here reminded me of a dating profile (I think intentionally), so for silliness' sake...make a dating profile for a Zelda character! How it works: If someone has already made a profile for the character you were going to do, you CAN make one for him or her later...but to keep...

*major spoilers for TP, MM, OoT, and WW* I got to thinking about some of the moments that to me, define why Link, sometimes in spite of his appearance/demeanor, is someone you wouldn't want to cross. Moments where he kicks butt, takes names and no prisoners, to mix metaphors. All declarations...

Thanks to my internet outage that lasted most of the day, I had time to write this. By coincidence, it's about another fairy. I wanted to give it a title that didn't have the word "tale" in it, but the pun was too good to resist. Maybe I'll do a fairy series or something. :) Rated G...

Thanks to three different mods/admins for helping me figure out where to put this thread, including Claire, who gave approval for this to go here. :D I'm looking for recommendations for fanworks, mainly in musical or visual form. Visual could be fanvids or fanart that is "general" and...

Do you have any favorite costumes? And by costume, I mean fancy or simple - just that you like how the designers decided to outfit the character. You don't need pictures to post, but you're welcome to if you'd like to do so - I'll post several. For starters, I like the Deku Princess' costume...

For those of you who like traveling (or want to someday), what countries have you visited? You can also talk about the trip if you like - I love hearing about foreign countries. For reference, I live in the US. In terms of short trips, I have visited Mexico once on a missions trip. The...

Intended to be free verse, it ended up more as prose. Just a silly thing I wrote tonight about how sometimes I end up unfairly maligning writer's block. General audience rating. -------- Ode to Writer's Block -------- Nine pm. The blank screen mirrors my mind. If muses exist, mine has died...

This week I watched a movie called "Timer". It was based on the sci-fi concept that science had discovered a way to tell when a person would meet their soul mate - which was then commercialized to sell people timers that could be implanted on their wrists of a countdown to the day of meeting...

What other fandoms have you been a part of, and what kind of activities did you do? If you are like my friend and listing them all would take all day, feel free to just mention favorites. *g* For those who are unfamiliar with the term "fandom" - here is the wikipedia entry. To me, it's just...

I was thinking as I replayed the Bottom of the Well yesterday - Bongo Bongo isn't released from the well until Link is an adult, which means he is still sealed down there when you are wandering around as a child, maybe in his invisible mode. That was a creepy thought for me. If Nintendo wants...

I always err on the side of caution and rate my fics PG. A small story in the Ocarina of Time setting that I had to get off my mind before I wrote anything else. ********** A Fairy’s Tale ********** The young fairy sat at the edge of the fountain. Fairies did not sparkle...

But not the ugly. :P What's something good going on in your life right now, and something-not-so-good? Serious and light answers both welcome. The catch is that you have to list both, so not just a good thing or just a bad. My not-so-good thing: I have had a bum knee for several months...

The title comes from the song on the Twilight Princess soundtrack. Some moments are in-game and others are embellished. Rated PG just to be safe. *********** Memories of Impaz *********** She hadn’t always been alone. When she was younger, there were many others, and not...

What are some of the little things that you would keep or remove to improve the gameplay? I added a spoiler tag so you can talk about things we already know as well. I love when we can skip nonessential scenes. Personally I'd even like the ability to skip the essential scenes and maybe have a...

I expect I'll purchase Lego Harry Potter: Years 1 - 4 when it comes out, and it'll be my first Lego game. I was curious if anyone was a fan of any other Lego games, and also what to expect (can't play the demo as I don't think it's available for the Wii...) Puzzles, combat, both, and more...

The first time I played TP, I wasn't a big fan of it because I was constantly using my wolf senses to see the scent and it was like wandering around vast swaths of darkness. The second time I skipped the scent and still wandered around in the dark for some reason. I just started replaying it...

This is a short scene I wrote the other day based on a writing challenge my friend gave me. It is set in the Twilight Princess storyline and is rated G. Let me know if the "smart quotes" create a problem - I cut and pasted directly from Word. *************** Agitha and the Puppy...

I was a little surprised not to find a thread like this...did I overlook it? Of the Zelda game's you've played, what was your favorite ending? I'll link to the ones I've played with some brief personal commentary. Original Legend of Zelda "Thanks, Link, you're the hero of Hyrule!" Well, at...

Got a question for you artistic types. Well, more than one, but to start with, this is just an invitation to ramble about yourself. What kind of mediums do you use, how long have you been doing it, what are your favorite things to draw/paint/depict, etc? Anything that relates to your own...

I searched but couldn't find a thread like this...do you have any favorite stories of misheard lyrics? Lately I've been mis-hearing "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga. Despite the fact that I know the lyrics are "Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch, just smoke my cigarette and hush", I consistently hear...

You know about the Chris Houlihan Room in AlttP? If you could make a cameo in any game, how would you appear? (Eta: As in a minor role or secret, not someone/thing you need to complete the game.) AlttP: I'd not have a name, but show up as one of the moving trees in the dark world. If you...

Twilight Princess wasn't the first Zelda game I played, but I hadn't played all of them like other people have. The more Zelda games I play, the more I realize how many "call backs" TP has to other games, though I don't know enough to say if its more or less than usual. Some similarities I...

The title is facetious - have you ever had a moment that made you look like you were better at a game than you actually were, but was actually achieved through pure luck? In Ocarina of Time, I had a horrible time with...well, everything, but I'm still bad at archery even now. My first time...

I've been thinking about the healing methods in Wind Waker. To my knowledge, these are our options: - Fairies in a bottle. I always keep one just in case I die before I can get to my potion or soup, but I've noticed that I don't use them as often this game because I have to specifically warp...

At the risk of sounding very silly...I don't understand how to use the treasure charts. How do I know which one matches up to which square (are they numerical, or do I have to figure it out myself)? I'm also not sure how to compare the treasure chart and sea chart, despite the submarine guy...

How many heart containers (meaning both boss containers and the container you get when you have collected enough pieces of heart) do you usually have at the end of the game (any game)? I was very paranoid (with good reason, I was very bad *g*) in my first few games and methodically collected...

So, anyone watch the show? Love it? Loathe it? Indifferent? Favorite songs, quotations, etc? Me, I like most of the dialogue, love the fact that the "villains" are so intentionally over the top I can laugh at them instead of hate them (thank you, Sue Sylvester) and enjoy most of the songs in...

In a post comparing several of the games, I thought about how I like both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, but there's an aspect of MM that appeals to me more. Which is confusing, because Ocarina has the more 'classic' story to me, and I've raved to my (non-Zelda but patient) friend about how...

I got a used copy of WW today. YAY. I have a Wii, however. I know it's reverse compatible and the helpful store assistant told me I needed a Gamecube controller and a Gamecube memory card, but they only had the first. I'm trying to figure out what I need for the memory card. Is it something...

I have attempted to search for a thread like this...now that I've looked a day, someone will probably come in and post me a link within the first few comments. :P This is a spin-off from reading some of the wants/don't wants for the new Zelda Wii and reading about what's classic to people and...

Okay, I think I've decided to at least give MM a try. I've heard it's dark, so it always gave me pause, but I have some Wii points I'm not using, and I'm looking for a new Zelda game, so I may as well download it from the virtual console. Anyway, I know some about it - the three-day cycle, the...

For some reason I'm having trouble fishing this time around - I pull up my line when I think a fish is biting and no dice. Is there a specific moment that you can tell when the fish is on? I wait for the lure to sink entirely but it's not working for me most of the time. It's not a big...
