[Beware of Cuccos*]

Sorry it had taken so long! I haven't been feeling well, plus i've been busy :(
Day Three-

[qsdcv]

Yay, I love challenges. :D

[A Zombie Riot]

Been lazy to post 'em here.... soo....


Day 4: Which Goddess are you most like Din (Power), Farore (Courage), Nayru (Wisdom), why?

Courage. Reasoning.... I don't know, really. I had a hard time answering this anyways. lol


Day 5: Which game do you personally think is the most challenging and most easiest, why? (I answer this as which game is the most challenging YET most easiest)

Oh, this is a tough one, actually. Wind Waker, maybe? I never found the game to be hard, but the hardest part of it (and the part where I gave up playing the game, like an idiot) was finding the 8 triforce pieces. At the time, I had no guide on how to do it. And sailing across that entire sea to find them? Yeah, no. I'd get too bored.


Day 6: Favorite and least favorite item(s)? Which would you want to be real?

Favorite... probably the Spinner from Twilight Princess. It's just too bad that it was essentially useless everywhere else besides the dungeon where you got it. But that thins was fun!

Least favorite... hmm.. bug net in Skyward Sword.

Well, a bug net is already real... and I don't want it, so that just leaves the spinner. I would want that to be real because using that thing would be fun.


Day 7: If you were to be any character in the games who would you prefer to be, or who do you relate to the most, why?

I would be Groose, EASILY. Because even though he is a complete jerk in the beginning of Skyward Sword, he is a total STUD at the end of the game! He has to be my favorite character. I wish he'd get his own side-game.


Day 8: Between all the sidekicks, which is your favorite, or which do you think is the most helpful?

Midna is my favorite and I think the King of Red Lions is the most helpful. Because without him... there is no exploring AT ALL in Wind Waker.

Interesting... I think I'll answer along too. I'll probably throw my answers up in my blog (with a wonderful first post so no one has to scroll through other things). When I get it set up, I'll make sure to advertise post it here. :)

EDIT: Okay, not quite caught up, but here's my first three answers. I also smashed everything together here for easier tracking. Now for the walls of text!

Day 1: When was your first time playing The Legend of Zelda, what game was it, and how was your experience?

Memories of my first real Zelda experience is kind of hazy. The first time I really saw the game was at my aunt’s house when I was four or five, and I would watch her play the original, and a little bit of Zelda II. I may have tried it once or twice myself, but I really didn’t do much with it at that young age. I wanted to play Sonic instead.

Fast forward about six years. Maybe more, I’m not sure. Pokemon Red got me back into gaming, and my mom celebrated by buying herself… er, I mean me The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and that’s the first time I’ve seriously played the series. I loved it. It had Mario aspects (bow-wows anyone?) and fun gameplay, and while I was terrible at puzzle solving back int he day, we had the walkthrough so I never really had to worry about getting stuck. I never beat it when I was younger, but I was more than content to play it over and over again.

It’s funny how Link’s Awakening is still one of my favorite Zeldas (depending on the day, the weather, and the games I recall… I’m so indecisive).

Day 2: What game would you consider to be your favorite, why? When did you first play this game?

I have a lot of trouble deciding which Zelda is my favorite. I recently played the 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time, and with it being my first time with the game, I absolutely adored it. I also love A Link To The Past, because, simply enough, of how good it was. Then again, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Link’s Awakening… there’s something about it (nostalgia? crazy plot? marin?) that makes me remember it so fondly.

But since I have to pick one, just one, I have to go with The Wind Waker.

I love everything that has to do with Wind Waker. The graphics are very stylized and still look fantastic, even on the GameCube. Sailing around was a joy, and discovering new islands and caves gave the game a sense of exploration I hadn’t quite felt before. I thought the dungeons and the bosses alike were a blast to play through. The plot took some very interesting turns, even showing us the fall of Hyrule (well, in one of the timelines). Heck, I didn’t even mind that map and treasure hunting bit. Too much.

I was late to the Wind Waker party… I think I first played in sometime in 2008. I didn’t really get hooked, though… I tend to need to be in the right mood to play adventure games. I picked it up again sometime in 2009, and got completely addicted to it. I’ve always enjoyed Zelda games, but I’ve never been so fully engrossed by one before The Wind Waker.

Day 3: Which game do you think has the best plot-line, why?

This is a bit more of a difficult question for me to answer… mainly because most of the ones with supposedly the ‘best’ plotlines I haven’t played yet. I’ve heard Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have great plots, but I haven’t even touched them. I think Wind Waker’s plot is decent, as well as Link’s Awakening, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re the best.

Being a little hard pressed, I’ll say that the Zelda that has the best plot that I know about is Majora’s Mask. To be honest, I haven’t played Majora’s Mask either (the time limit and a huge moon looming over me scares me), but I do know enough about the story to say that it’s pretty great. The land of Termina, seen through the eyes of Link during its (possibly) final three days is nothing short of amazing. Because of the moon threatening to destroy everything in three days, you get to see how the land’s denizens react… how they cope, and how they come to terms with the end. It’s amazing how Nintendo portrays these characters, and treads into a much darker and more emotional tale than the other Zeldas do.

I mean, what other Zelda (or Nintendo game, for that matter) boils a monkey to death? Gruesome.

Anyway… the fact that you can make everyone’s life okay again, and still make it in time to save Termina itself, is the icing on the cake. It might be almost impossible to do in one cycle, but to be able to make the people of Termina happy and full of life again is more than enough motivation.

Cool! I wasn't sure if I should post more of my answers. I'm still technically 'catching up'... so I'll make a huge wall of text in a little bit.

Can't wait to see it!

Ok, so, I have no idea what is up with the sound. I think I was louder than usual because I was really excited when I filmed this one because I was about to go to my friends' reveal party (they're having a boy!).

[Beware of Cuccos*]

Sorry for the delay!

[A Zombie Riot]

If I post the rest of mine.... that means there will be 22 days worth of stuff in a single post... which also means I'd have to go to my facebook and gather all of 'em again.

Look who is finally continuing her challenge..

[A Zombie Riot]

30 day challenge? More like 30 month challenge.

[Beware of Cuccos*]

No shit right. I'm disappointed in myself.

[MexicanAnime]

Look who is finally continuing her challenge..

I actually really enjoyed Midna for her quirky and biting personality, as well as her actual involvement in the story. That being said, there's no still no fucking way I'm going to search "Link and Midna" on Google images without safe search.

Oh yes, and good videos! Just stated them today.
