Thank you very much to those who reached out, given my tendency to forget about these. Unfortunately, I was simply too swamped by work and life to have time for an entry. That being said, you did a wonderful job @DawningWinds !

No, but I am sad to know that the month won't be the month of spoop.

Oooohhh, October...

Cant remember what I voted for last time, but I'm going with 'yes' this time because that seems to be about the only way we'll get a regular Zelda title again. Don't get me wrong, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have been fun, but I'm very much ready for structured puzzles and linear...

I think we were all too busy playing TotK.

Very interesting little factoid there @VikzeLink. Well, my opinion on that version sure hasn't changed, though I don't know what answer I picked back then.

Ah shoot. I forgot to submit one! Haha oh well. Got some great choices here.

The only time I ever look up something is if I have reason to believe the game itself has glitched and something isn't working right. The last time that happened was Skyward Sword. Unfortunately, the game had not glitched and it was just abysmal quest design that dun me in.

"Find the time" me: dies of wheezing laughter Nah dude I need weeks of lead up time for stuff like this. Plus, let me just tell you this month has been Something. Thanks for lookin out for me though.

Aaaaand I forgot again.

Aaaand I missed it again.

or stand... or roll off your bunk bed!

Wow what an incredible showing this time.

Well if I did that than my submission would be late now, wouldn't it?

Ok cool, thanks.

What time on Monday?

The deadline got extended to Monday, right?

No way. NO. WAY. NO WAAAAY. Ok this is freaky. Earlier today, I was working and randomly started thinking about the next drawing competition and I thought "wouldn't it be cool if you combined the end of summer/beach season with the start of spooky season and came up with 'deep sea horrors' as...

When you do get 'round to some creative writing, what do you tend to write about?

And what falls under the purview of professional writing, exactly?

Meh. I wouldn't care about media blackouts if the games came faster than ever 7 years. If main line titles came out every, I dunno.... 3-4? I'd be fine not hearing about them much in the meantime.

Releasing more games.

I've always believed that one of the strengths of the series is the relative disconnect between the entries. I don't mind individual games being direct sequels, but I think the series would suffer as a whole if you tried to link them together to strongly. Also, that development model really...

Honestly, Link would be a good choice too. He seems like a chill dude. A chill dude with rockin' pajamas. Also, keep that snotkid away from me.

I'm here for all these delicious takes. But there's one thing I'll push back on, and that's the hints. Some are adequate, but some are poorly translated or simply don't work in English. Japanese characters are more efficient on old cartridge games since they can fit more Japanese text than...

See, it's actually because I paid attention almost every day by checking back. That's why it didn't happen hahaha!

Wait did I miss something? Wasn't the last competition a writing one?

I don't want to see any of them again. But I'll go with Lybranna because that was my least favorite game of those listed.

Very interesting submissions this time, to be sure.

Ocarina of Time's river was a lot of fun to mess around in, swimming rapidly with the current and picking up Rupees always felt cool. Plus that's where I first learned that you can score some fairies as Young Link by playing the Song of Storms for a beansprout.

Yeah that stupid dance minigame, and the baseball one, were responsible for a lot of my "lost hit points" of patience before I dropped the game for good. They may not have been the straw that broke Link's back, but they could be called the ones that put me into the beepies zone.

Things just kept stacking up for me. I hated all the minigames, not one was fun to play. I love solving puzzles, but every task between each dungeon just felt so torturously directionless, and needlessly long. The end for me came somewhere in the process of getting into Jabu Jabu, and I just...

I have never touched Minish Cap, and I dropped Ages because it was boring me.

Destroy the concept of canon. Only games that should like are ones that are direct sequels of each other. So much time and discussion get wasted trying to track one timeline.

I'm not really gunning for her to be playable, but I'd like it if she was an active part of the adventure. I want her to be around and to talk and work with Link on things, in a similar way to Spirit Tracks. I think ST Zelda was probably just about the best version of her we've had so far.

I know they come around again. I just forget to check.

I have a unique knack for checking to see if there's an art competition right after the submissions are due.

Think I'm gonna go Biggoron's Sword.

Unlike link from Ocarina of Time, I can never really return to the better days of my childhood. But when I hear that title theme, for a little while, I can...

Damnit, you're gonna put Adventure of Link and Ocarina of Time in the same poll, aren't you... Tough one between Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, one is a more jaunty and fun tune (a toon tune?), but the other one does an amazing job for setting the mood for what's to come, an important task...

Basically every single crew on this list were utter and complete failures, and Servo's crew pursued and captured an invisible ship and held it for like 1,000 years. This is the definition of 'no contest'.

I think my answer that's easy at hand would be the Transformation Masks. Those were a lot of fun, and I remember screwing around with them for ages. I loved discovering all the little quirks about using them (most notably, what happens when Majora tries to grab and throw Zora Link), but I think...

Are we talking in general, or specifically the ones from the Oracle games?

Almost missed the weekly poll!

I can't even remember.

Kinda gonna need to go Magnet Gloves by default.

I say 'other area' but really I mean no area. I would not want to live anywhere in the SS world.

I am always happy to get Zelda stuff.

That Ice Cavern music makes me feel good. I don't know what it is about ice and water temple/area music that's usually so on point in these games...

It was likely a translation early on just for a screenshot, since producing the book would take time. Clearly, whoever translated that didn't understand the hostile connotation it would have.
