Very much a dude.
I only realized just now that LonLon Ranch is named that because Malon and Talon's names both end with "lon" and I feel very dumb.
Zelda is named after Zelda Fitzgerald, one of Miyamoto's favorite authors, Link is so named because he's a "Link" between the player and the game, Termina is named because they originally thought of it as a terminal, as in a subway or airplane terminal, Mipha, Dorephan, and Sidon are named after the Japanese terms for the Solfege system in music, Impa is named because she "imparts" wisdom.

There's a lot of funny stuff like this in Zelda.

What is on my mind is that "nothing lasts and what a shame that is." (Meet Joe Black).
People make all these promises of forever, and in truth it is rare anyone keeps them. Ultimately, human beings are selfish creatures, and only if their wants, wishes, and passions align for a while do they stay together; but if those change, prepare for sundering.
Yes I am feeling very cynical, but I have witnessed this more times than I can count.

Eating out in my country is so expensive now. I was recently in Romania and enjoyed a delicious meal at a waterfront restaurant of a big grilled seabass and polenta with a complimentary fish starter. My partner had a big bowl of mussels in a white wine sauce. I even had a cigar after my meal which they gave me a complementary brandy to enjoy with it and we also got a free shot of jagermeister after the meal as well. The whole thing was under £50 for two people which I thought was very reasonable for such a lovely restaurant and meal. I felt full and satisfied after.

In England a meal for two seems to cost around £90+ these days. And rarely does a place give complimentary drinks! I am just going to cook at home from now on because it's ridiculous how things have become here.

I feel this, here in the Colonies, eating out is really expensive too. I prefer to cook because of it.

Romania! I want to go there one day.

Well, Romania is one of the poorest countries in Europe. So maybe that had something to do with knocking it down a few pegs?

How about Dracula's castle in Transylvania. It's actually a real place. The castle, I mean.
Oh I intend to visit that. Count Dracula was a real person, Vlad III The Impaler. He actually is a hero of Christendom because he was able to keep the Ottomans at bay during those wars. Though he had a sadistic streak that became part of what Bram Stoker drew on for the monster Dracula.

Dracula is actually Vlad's Family name, it means Dragon in Romania, and came from that they were part of the Knights of the Order of Dragon, which was tasked with defending The Church with might like a dragon.
