I gotta be honest, I really can't stand chuggaconroy... It's just plain tiring listening to his endless commentary and his 'humor' really doesn't appeal to me at all. That said, I really like Batman9502. When I needed some video help with Twilight Princess, I stumbled across his vids on youtube...

Hey all! I finally have time to spend here on ZD, so I though I would make a thread about a subject that's been crossing my mind for a while. I recently saw an awesome piece of fanart featuring a bruised and run-down looking Link sneaking his way through through an evil landscape crawling...

I gotta hand it to the Zelda development team. I think the Loftwing concept was pulled off really well and I really liked it as a mode of transport. In the beginning I thought I would hate the idea of a flying animal as transport, but I was proved wrong. In the end though, I have to go with...

So far the series is definitely meeting, and surpassing my expectations. The plot thus far (minus the underlying love stories) doesn't seem cliche and I'm super interested and excited to see how it pans out. Of course, the art style and animation is especially gorgeous. I always loved how they...

I've always been drawn to the psychic and dark types. there's also a special place in my heart for fire types from the Gen I and II :yes:

I completely forgot about the Lightning Round on my first run, so my first experience with it was in Hero Mode. It's tough, and took me a solid couple of hours to beat it. I always started with The Hoard since it's the most likely battle to inflict damage and there's less opportunity to be on...

Basically any Pokemon music from Gen I and II, especially Gen I. The most nostalgic ones are probably Gen I's battle music, surfing theme (I've heard it so much because of my constant use of the Missingno multiplying item glitch), Pokemon Pinball music, and the Pokemon Center theme. Another...

I thought it was a really nice addition. I was surprised at how many people just HATED it. I think many of those people simply don't have patience. One critic of the stamina gauge suggested that if they give Link a faster speed, it shouldn't be metered and it should just be his normal speed. I...

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a significant influence, even though the Tree of Life sort of idea is a very common theme in many cultures. However, one of the first things I noticed about the Lanayru region and the robots is how much the designs, patterns and colors (in the past) reminded me...

I chose to restart on Hero Mode immediately after my first playthrough, although I didn't really understand what Hero Mode fully entailed when the prompt came up. It was around 5 am and I was about to fall over from playing for 6 hours, and didn't think to look up anything about it, so I just...

I've had a couple bad ones in my decade long Pokemon-ing career..Mostly having to do with save files being erased. The first horrifying Pokemon moment I experienced was with Pokemon Pinball, actually, the original one for Gameboy Color. Fun game, but SUPER hard to get a complete pokedex. I was...

I was kind of neutral on Ghirahim at the beginning, besides being slightly freaked out by his tongue waggling at Skyview Temple. But as the game progressed, I began to really appreciate his character. I think his eccentricity and flamboyant mannerisms were executed much better than they were...

I died an stupidly high number of times during my first playthrough >.> I died a lot against Ghirahim, once against Demise, at least twice against the various Imprisoned battles, most likely the Lanayru Mines at least once, twice against Scervo on the Sandship, and even once in the Earth Temple...

I have so many favorite moments in the game, mostly because each cut scene is really emotional or funny. Let's see... -The scenes where Link learns the harp songs at the Isle of Songs -Groose following Link to the surface, totally caught me off guard when I first saw it, and the next scene...

I thought they were just design elements for a while and didn't realize you could use them to restore hearts until I tried out the one sitting next to the generator in Lanayru Desert. I love how Link starts falling asleep, swaying from side to side if you keep him sitting for extended periods...

There was actually a thread like this a while ago: http://zeldadungeon.net/forum/showthread.php?9756-If-I-Were-In-the-Zelda-Universe I basically described myself as working in an armory shop in Castle Town, designing and crafting weapons and supplies for Link, given he goes and collects the...

I don't know if I'd ever have the guts to name my (hypothetical) children after an obvious video game reference, no matter how much I love the series. It's kind of shame, since I actually really like the name Link; my favorite kind of male names are short, single syllable ones, and Link is...

I loved the Beetle, it was such a versatile and useful item, and I love the concept in general. You use it constantly throughout the game, too, which is always a plus, especially considering how early on you obtain it. This. I probably used it to scout locations just as much as I used it to...

I didn't even realize the bundles came with the Orchestral CD when I went to buy the game. I bought my bundle at the Nintendo World Store the day after launch, and they had a big wall of the gold boxes behind the cashier, I knew they had the golden Triforce Wiimotes included, but I was...

^ This A much more accurate description of what I mentioned before. Just for the record, I checked, you can go back through the Gate of Time to the present and go back to Skyloft. You can re-equip, do sidequests, and even take a nap, all while Demise "gives you a moment to think" about...

I don't think I would use the word 'disappointment,' but I was a bit.. surprised by the layout of the final battle. Before I was able to get my hands on SS, I read GameInformer's glowing 10/10 review for it, in which the author praised, without spoilers, "one of the most difficult final boss...

Gosh, I loved the music in SS. In my first playthrough, I stopped a number of times mid-game just to appreciate the area themes. I've already downloaded a bunch, too. There wasn't really any music I didn't like that I can think of, actually. But these stood out, in my opinion. -Eldin Volcano...

The first couple Silent Realms, my heart was beating the fastest it ever has during a video game. Of course I basically sprinted as much as could through the areas, even when it safe, just to get it over with :S I mostly got caught by the lanterns and landed in the waking water once in Faron. A...

Wow, good to know.. I just finished my first playthrough, and I went to Lanayru first without really thinking much of it. O.o I tried going to Faron first, thinking you had to follow the "order" you visited them, but when I saw the gates closed I figured it meant that I had to go to the other...

Pokemon is so deeply ingrained into my childhood, I can't even remember when or how it began. I probably started out watching the show, then got into the games and the cards shortly after. I got Red, my first game, as a gift when it came out, along with my Gameboy color. Charmander was my...

This is mostly a topic that applies to people still living at home, but feel free to share regardless. So I'm a college student, and I live a dorm, so I'm only home for about a third of the year. Obviously I'm home for the Winter Break right now, and since I don't bring my Wii to school, I've...

I just finished SS, and would have a hard time doing a favorites lists to rank the games I liked the most, as all the Zelda titles have their pros and cons, things I loved and hated, ect. Also, it's hard to judge from a single playthrough; second and third runs can offer different perspectives...

Thanks again, guys! I'm FINALLY home for the holiday break, once again able to play SS, do some fanart, and indulge in all kinds of Zelda goodness, including the ZD forums of course :) I did this quick Toony, computer-perched paperchild the other day and figured I'd revive the thread with it...

I'll admit, I probably haven't played as many FPSs as other people here, but the only two shooters that I didn't find horribly dull so far in my gaming travels are Metroid Prime and Red Steel 2. As far as Metroid goes, well, it's a classic, engaging, and it's more than just spraying bullets all...

Thanks for the nice comments, guys! :) I'm no paperchild expert, like I said, this is my first, but there are tons of tutorials and how-to's if you just search "Paper child' on Google or Deviantart. From doing this one, I've basically learned that it's about setting up a correct ground-line...

It's been forever since I posted art here on ZD! Last time I was here, these neat little Fan Works sections weren't around, so it's good to see they got put into place! Anyways, this is my first paperchild ever, and except for a bit of wonky anatomy, I'm really pleased with it :) Paper Link...

I'm usually pretty lame when it comes to nicknaming, ya know, Flare or Scorch for fire types, ect. so I've stopped doing it recently with my current games. But there's a Nuzlocke comic artist out there who always has really cool names for her pokemon that I really admire. My favorite was her...

I'm a sophomore at an art school and one of the running jokes around here is how nobody sleeps. I have 7 classes and get an average of 6 or so hours of sleep per night during the week, because I try and prevent pulling all-nighters. In the past year and a half, I've had a brutal workload and...

I got into going to concerts about three years ago, and usually have good, memorable experiences with each. I've seen Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood twice, one of them was my first real concert, both shows were amazing. Same thing with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, seen them twice, they put...

As much as I've felt like the lame-o who only owns Nintendo consoles in high school, I don't think I was ever made fun of when I brought Zelda into gaming conversation with my peers. Most people embraced it, knew what I was talking about, and reminisced about OoT. My school had no shortage of...

I would really love to see Dark Link return in some sort of console title in the future (I have a feeling he probably won't be in SS). After reading through that really wonderful Dark Link analysis at ZU about a year ago, the idea of the Dark Link "character" always seemed so intriguing in a...

Are people allergic to the Search function, or something? > http://zeldadungeon.net/forum/showthread.php?10912-Link-s-Face That thread is much more constructive, anyway This. Besides, I'm sure nobody is going to be that concerned about Link's subtle facial features in the middle of...

I prefer South Park for sure. Don't get me wrong, I think Drawn Together is funny, I think it's hilarious how Xandir is a flamboyant, obviously gay parody of Link and how Ling Ling is an ultra-violent pikachu, but I find South Park's jokes and overall sense of humor just...better. South Park...

Just dug around at my favorite game store and picked up used copies of Pokemon Stadium, Banjo Kazooie, and Earthworm Jim (GBA). I really shouldn't have splurged on more games, since I'm in the middle of playing a bunch I already own.. But I can't help myself when I come across oldies!

:O I am jealous of your shiny Venusaur! Fun fact: I've never caught a shiny, but got really close in my Gold game once. Thank you! I'm trying to put fanart on the back burner for now, but I do try to stay active in Fanworks when I can. I love trying to be true to the 'animal' side of...

(I know I said thanks in the SB but oh well) Thank you! and yes, i don't normally go for Snorlax, but he can learn some sweet moves in Gen I like Surf and Blizzard. He's a quite a useful loveable oaf

Hey guys! So I've had some horrible artist's block lately and tried to shake it off with some fanart. I assigned myself a little project to illustrate the current teams of my Pokemon games- something I've wanted to try for a long time. So here are my teams from Blue and Gold, I tried to make...

I don't see new info and stuff as 'spoilers', personally, but I'm starting to avoid news simply because I'd rather see for myself in the end. All the hype, and theorizing, speculating, and "What If" threads have been going on for over a year, and really, it all comes down to playing to darn...

I too bought Minish Cap used from Gamestop about a year ago for $20. Recently, however, a bunch of my local Gamestops have been completely out of, or running low on GBA games altogether. It looks like they're being phased out of the stores. I bought my copy of Oracle of Seasons for $9 or...

I'll always prefer using the original consoles over things like virtual console and emulators. My oldest system, my Gameboy color, (our original gameboy is long lost) is on its way out, and has been failing me as of late :( But even if it was working properly, I'd probably still opt to play my...

Oh gosh, yeah, that was like our unwritten rule between me and my, like, 2 other card-playing friends. All of us were way too attached to even consider trading, even though the cards were meant to be traded :P My first card binder was this big blue school binder converted to hold penny...

Did anyone besides myself ever actually have Pokemon card battles? I collected around the same time when I began playing the games, at age 8 or 9, and would get together with my friends and have good old fashioned card battles. It seems that whenever I ask people if they were into Pokemon when...

They actually play Champloo on the Funimation channel now (although I'm sure that's not available to everyone, I have Verizon fios, or whatever it's called) but they repeat episodes a lot, and don't really play them in order. I've been watching on JustDubs.net, and eventually sucked it up and...

Ah, and all the Cowboy Bebop fans come out of the woodwork! I just recently got into Cowboy Bebop, actually. After I finished Samurai Champloo (my current obsession) I found out that the director, Shinichiro Watanabe did Cowboy Bebop first and checked it out. I can only get my hands on the dub...

Once again, Nintendo is put at the forefront of video game innovation, yet, I have mixed feelings about WiiU. The thinking behind the tablet-style, independent screen controller was really impressive and certainly something new. (Some people might contest that this is just a better version of...
