Piano Lessons meet Hyrule!

I don't know how many people know this, but I am actually a very active piano player. And apparently, as people tell me, I'm good at it, too. I even wrote a song for it that won a HUGE contest. And I played it in front of everybody at my church. Gosh, that was scary... and I messed up once... xD

But, still, it's never been my favorite thing to do. No, that place has ALWAYS been reserved for LoZ or W101 or reading (or VMK, so long ago, or other games). In fact, I usually hate it. I have to practice for an HOUR everyday, or else I can't do computer, video games, or watch T.V. (not that I ever do that, anyway - seriously, I hate TV, I like, NEVER watch it). And usually I can't read, either. So... what can I do to make this more enjoyable?

Well, a while back, when I was playing Brawl, I took a liking to the song "Midna's Lament" from Twilight Princess. Then I thought, "Well, hey, I know there are Zelda songbooks EVERYWHERE for Ocarinas... why isn't there one for piano?" I did a little research, and guess what? I FOUND SHEET MUSIC FOR MIDNA'S LAMENT (A.K.A. Midna's Desperate Hour)!!!

Since then, I have learned plenty of songs, including Song of Storms (was SO hard to learn at first, with all the jumping around in the left hand, but I can play it really well, now!), Lost Woods (A.K.A. Saria's Song - which is honestly quite hard to play at a lot of parts, particularly the end, but I'm good at it now), Fairy Fountain (every one of my friends who plays Zelda knows this! It's at the file selection of every Zelda game I have), Sun's Song (wasn't hard :P), and Sacred Grove (basically the TP version of Saria's Song). Probably others, too, but I can't think of them now.

I even printed off Termina Field and Ordon Village, but they're so annoyingly hard. Well, Ordon Village isn't so much, but I don't feel like bothering learning it now. I'm focusing on Termina Field, and all I have is the beginning (which is just Sun's Song) and about a page and a half after that (out of three pages). It's REALLY hard, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised, because it's nearly all drums on the game. It's hard to make a piano replicate the sound of drums, but this music did it pretty well.

Also, I'm planning on printing off Zelda's Lullaby soon. I really want to learn the Blizzetta boss theme, because I am dead serious when I say that has to be THE best Zelda song EVER. I even added it to my favorites on YouTube. The music just looks SO hard, rofl...

I found the music here, if anyone's interested.

Oh... em.... gee....

No way. No way no way no way.

I cannot believe this, but... I haven't played any Zelda game for FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT.

AH! It's scary! I've never gone that long! Okay, I haven't gone that long for a WHILE. Nah, there was that YEAR without them with Wind Waker...

I have to play something tonight. Have to. There is no way I'm going to do anything else. Well... unless Sydney finishes the next Percy Jackson book....

Okay, that's what I've been doing. I'll admit it. I've been READING every night. No computer, no video games. Just READING. And a little Brawl mixed in between every once and a while.

Now, when I look at it this way, it's no wonder that I finished every book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series so quickly! I read it ALL DAY, doing nothing else. Except piano practice and, as I said, some Brawl.

Wow. It's still pretty amazing. No Zelda... gosh, I have to buy ALttP soon or I'll run out of things to do!

Yay for Brawl!

Okay... if I ever said that Zelda was the best game series ever, forget it. Super Smash Bros. is.

No, really. I mean, it's what got me interested in Zelda in the first place, right? So, it MUST be special.

I've been playing it a LOT lately. I don't think I've gotten any farther on any Zelda games because of it! Of course, I always play as Zelda characters, haha, or as Pikachu...

So, I thought that... well, instead of talking about boring old "Wind Waker" or "Majora's Mask" or "Ocarina of Time", let's talk about SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL/MELEE! Yeah, sorry. I don't have the first game. O.o

Well, actually, I might as well have JUST gotten the second game, Melee. I deleted our amazing file. WE HAD MEWTWO! My gosh! Do you KNOW how long it takes to get MEWTWO? I think it's, like, two HUNDRED hours or matches, or something! We played this game SO much. Honestly. I have to stay away from the "RESET" button on our games. Anything that has Link in it tends to not like me, for some reason (what's up with that? O.o). Most of our Zelda games (okay, probably ALL of them) I think I have probably reset without saving at some point. Ugh. I'm cursed!

Anyway, we also had Young Link on Melee. Now I that I know who he is (Remember, when we played Melee, we didn't - we only had Wind Waker) I really want to play as him! Seriously! He must be SO much better than older Link, rofl, cuz' I keep FAILING as him. No, really. I fought a level one and was defeated. O.o I do pretty well as Pikachu on there, though. But I've been playing on there as Pikachu for YEARS, so that's not really surprising. Ugh, but I'm not being Link. Or Zelda. I just don't know their moves on there, and Din's Fire isn't as awesome as it is on Brawl. So I'll stick with Pika Pal, and Kirby, who I used to play as but don't anymore on Brawl. Sorry, Link, but until I get your younger self, you're... not going to be my character. :(

So... what else?

OOH! OOH! OOH! Idea!

How about I say all my characters? Oh, and I have my Brawl friend code over Wi-Fi. SOMEONE ADD ME!

0989-3685-1816

Yay... I made it bold, lolz...

Now, characters!

My first is SO Pikachu. Usually I don't actually use him first, but when I do, you know that you'd better RUN. I have YEARS of practice with this little fella.

Second: Zelda! When I looked at the name I always use (I have special controls for that name) it says that Pikachu is my first most used character, and Zelda is second, surprisingly. So yeah. I don't have as much experience with her, but I'm learning, and so far, I'm doing pretty good.

Third: Um, I guess Toon Link. Trust me, I'm amazing as Toon Link. Especially when I'm a different color (Green gets SO boring after a while). Anyone who likes to play as Toon Link, I always challenge to a Toon Link fight, to see who's the best. And I always win. ;)

Fourth: I think Zero Suit Samus. I haven't been playing as her as much lately, but I use to do her a lot. She use to be my secondary character, actually. I like the purple color when I play as her, even though blue's my favorite color.

Fifth: Um... Link? Yeah, sure. I'll go with that, lolz. Hey, he's really slow compared to my other characters, and he is SUCH a low jumper, but he's the Hero of Time! How can I NOT play as him? He owns in a lot of fights, anyway. And I love bombs. xD


And for characters I hate? Captain Falcon is always first. It's... a long story, dating back to Melee. And I've learned to hate Gannon, lately. I loathe playing as him...

FUNNY STORY! I looked at our "records" the other day. I looked at our overall records first, and it said "Favorite character: Pit". I knew that. Rowan ALWAYS plays as Pit, whereas I like to change characters all the time. Now I expected Pikachu to be second, but nooo - IT WAS TOON LINK! So, uh, I got really mad, rofl, and played at least a zillion matches as Pikachu... and now he's back in second... phew...

Okay, that's it for now. I got another post I need to write...

Flying Epona Glitch!

Okay. So, I'm really lazy today, and, again, I don't have much time. So instead of repeating the entire glitch all over again, I'm going to use the bestest thing ever created on the keyboard - CTRL + C and CTRL + V!

This is my post on the "glitch thread" on Legend of Zelda.com.

"Ooh... this thread is awesome! :D

Well, my sister and I found one on Majora's Mask the other day.

1. Set the Ocarina of Time to one of your C items, and remember which one it is.

2. Save on Epona at one of the owl statues (I've only tried it at Milk Road, but I assume it works other places as well).

3. Turn back on the game, and you can now use any item that you have set to C on your horse, but if you pause it will stop, so you can't switch items!

4. Take out the Ocarina. You can play a song or don't, doesn't matter. When you stop playing the Ocarina though, Link will be standing in air and you will be looking at everything from Epona's angle.

5. Run around a bit. You're now playing as Epona, and you can pretty much leave Link standing there and run away. However, you can't leave any areas.

6. To get out of this, just press A as if you were going faster and Link will be back on Epona. When doing the glitch though, don't Z-Target the statue. You will go back to Link's point of view which is fine, but don't shoot arrows at the statue. You won't be able to get out of the glitch otherwise.

Also, if you do it at Milk Road...

1. Save on Epona and have your Ocarina set somewhere, and then go into the Gorman Ranch area right by the save area.

2. Now you can play the Ocarina, control Epona, blah blah blah...

3. Lead Epona toward the place that you would usually leave Gorman ranch at. If you can get her in there at the right angle, Epona will keep running through the trees and fall into the sky.

4. Eventually you'll land somewhere in the sky. There's a big grey square beneath you. You can gallop around or whatever, but invisible walls are boxing you in. No time passes down here, either, oddly enough.

5. When you want to get out of it, press A and Link will come back to Epona and you will die, ending up back in the Gorman ranch on your horse.

This also works if you put on the Giant's Mask, but then you can't get out of it, and you'll be permanently stuck like that unless you restart the game.

Also, it seems like it doesn't work if you get off your horse in Milk Road, so you have to get on Epona in Termina Field, then run in here, THEN save.

So don't do anything important before this, lol, in case you have to reset. And sorry for the long glitch. I have more, but... this post is really long, lol... so unless someone ACTUALLY reads this, I'm not going to bother putting up my others."

Heh heh... nice, huh?

You can do kind of the same thing to become Feirce Deity, actually. Go into Gorman Ranch, and instead of the Ocarina set, have Feirce Deity Mask. Race the Gorman brothers for ten Rupees, and then put on the Feirce Deity Mask immeadiately. After a full minute of sitting there, frozen on your horse with your bow out, the most annoying sound coming through the speakers, the Gorman brothers will finish the race and you will be Feirce Deity.

Oh, yeah. We did that, and had SO much fun. I filmed it LOTS of times, but we kept messing up by saying each other's real names. I'm going on Windows Movie Maker tonight to hopefully take those parts out and keep the fun parts in! :D

No time! Again!

I know I promised I'd tell you the glitch today, but I have no time! I gtg RIGHT now! So, uh... yeah... Epona flying... tommorrow!

And thanks SO much to my new follower! I don't recognize you, because you've never commented, but I'm happy you're here nonetheless! Thank you!

New Follower? It's a miracle!

I can't believe it! I come on today, check to see if any new comments needed to be moderated (which they DIDN'T - what happened to everyone?), so on and so forth. I see “Sierra's Story - 22 Followers,” and I click “New post” on here, Medli's Messages. But at the last second, as the page was loading, I see on the side, not the number two - but THREE followers! NO WAY!

So, uh... my DSi for some reason can't see who's following. Probably has something to do with not having flash, just like YouTube and Wizard101. So... I don't know who my new follower is, but hey, thanks for joining! I haven't had a new follower since, what, September or something?

So, listen... I thank you profoundly for following Medli's Messages... whoever you are! And I hope you're a Zelda fan, too, because I need someone around here who understands what I'm talking about... lol...

MM Update - MORE Feirce Deity Fun! Yayz!

I knew how much EVERYONE loved my Feirce Deity Fun post (okay, no one read it, lol), so I made another one!

This is continuing my old one. So... where was I..?

Oh, right! Defeating the BIGGEST BADDEST BOSS (ah, I love that).

So, yeah, I did... and yeah, I saw the ending, with Anju and Kafei getting married, and the postman coming back, and Skull Kid saying something about recognizing me from OoT (weird!), and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember... And Saria's Song at the end...

I turned off the Wii then. I had to actually get off for the day (I can stay up reeeealy late playing any LoZ game), so I didn't know that I now had Feirce Deity mask wherever I went. :D But I did, next time I came on.

This is where the REAL fun begins.

Guess what? I found my first ever glitch on my own! Okay, well, Row Row (Rowan... heh, I have a new nickname for her) was there to help me. And the only reason we discovered it was because we were trying to do the Feirce Deity outside boss battles glitch, but I was an idiot and took out the Ocarina instead...

Still, it's our biggest acheivment yet.

Anyway, guess what the glitch does? First, it makes you become your horse, Epona, and run away from Link. :P Second, you can make Epona fly. Yes, folks, I said FLY.

It's a long description, and I'm currently on my DSi now... tommorrow, I'll talk about it. That, and my Feirce Deity fun in Clock Town. xD Yeah, I said Clock Town - as in, the place you can't be Feirce Deity in legitimately, and aren't suppose to go into when you aren't legitimately Feirce Deity... yeah, we kinda ignored the “DON'T GO IN CLOCK TOWN!!!” warnings that are all over YouTube...

More on that later. Anyway, for now... that's it!

A short update...

I have exactly... one minute to write this entire post. O.o

Well, let's see, I played Wind Waker last night, beat that impossible Wind Temple. Surprisingly, I found A Link to the Past manga at the store, even though it wasn't February when I found it. Um, I still haven't bought the GAME a Link to the Past, sadly. And, uh, I've been playing TP a LOT, and I did a Karkario Village Graveyard glitch...

Um, gtg! Bye! xD

MM Update - Feirce Deity Fun! :D

I'm not hyper today... so don't expect the usual from me. I'm surprisingly calm, like I said on my other blog. So... if I don't have as many smilies or capital letters or furious/jubliant comments, or random side-comments in parenthesis, that's why.

In my last post, I talked about getting the awesomeful Feirce Diety/Oni Link mask. Now that I had it, it was on to the BIGGEST BADDEST BOSS! Yes, even when I'm calm, I can't help but write it like that, haha.

Now, when he gave me the mask, Majora said, "Let's play good guys versus bad guys. You be the bad guy." Great. I'm the bad guy. Fantastic.

That is now the core of multiple jokes that I can't help but making when I'm with Sydney, Taryn, or Rowan. I was continuously saying throughout the battle, "If I'm the bad guy, I'm going to lose! Good guys always win!"

Then, the most hilarious thing happened.

I don't believe I told you my Spirit Tracks story about getting the whip, did I? Well, that mini-boss there, he, well...

He owned me.

I did NOT know what to do. Eventually I managed to grab a pot and throw it at him, and he released his grip on me. But that was only after I died and stood there for a very, very, very long time, helplessly being jerked around by the whip guy. When I defeated him, I got my favorite weapon in the game: the whip!

Well, now I had an extreme feeling of deja vu when Majora became Majora's Wrath.

Oh. Em. Gee.

HE HAD WHIPS!

I was totally pwning him up until that point. With unlimited magic power, even when I wasn't fully sure how to control Oni Link correctly, I was beating him. Until that moment.

Seriously, I started FREAKING OUT. I was running around the room, trying to get away. I shot a couple of those blue beams from a distance, but he kept chasing me.

THEN HE CAUGHT ME. I think I probably let out a real screm in real life, rofl. He grabbed Feirce Diety, my dearest form that I thought was invincible, and he THREW HIM! Agh! I'm going to have nightmares of that horrible whip form of Majora for WEEKS!

Then I defeated him... um, I'll edit this post either tommorrow or later today to continue this. Got to go, now! Bye!

MM Update - YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YA- Wait, no! NO NO NO!

I have good news and bad news. Which should I say first? Hmm....

Okay, good news first.

I BEAT THE BIGGEST BADDEST BOSS OF ALL TIME! (O:!)

Now the bad news.

I HAVE NO MORE ZELDA GAMES I HAVEN'T COMPLETED! (O:!!!)


Yep, I said it. No more Zelda games. I've got six games, AND I'VE BEAT THEM ALL. Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess. ALL. OF. THEM! Done. Finished. Over.

I know I said I'd buy a Link to the Past, but fortunately, apparently I'm still having fun with Majora's Mask even after the final boss.

I guess I should begin with that story, first, huh?

Well, okay. The bestest thing was, I had friends over when I tried to do this, too. Taryn WildHeart, actually. Balance Past Seeker. And her own sister (I think her name is Paige Ashbreaker on the game, but I'm not sure).

Of course, Taryn and Paige had to do something at our house first (same thing the other kids did). They took turns doing it. Taryn made Paige go first.

Now I told Taryn also about the BIGGEST BADDEST BOSS (xD). Lolz, she also got excited. I wasted a lot of time with her though, making her feeling a moment of suspense before I fought it, taking my time to get Chateau Romani, fairies, and other items to prepare. Haha, then, JUST as I decided I was ready for the boss, just as I hurried to the top of the Clock Tower - it was her turn, and she had to leave.

Anyway, I played the Oath to Order, with Paige watching me now. They stopped the moon, blah blah blah, and Majora's Mask flies away into the moon, blah... Haha, anyway, when Tatl refused to come with me and Tael volunteer instead, I was like, "YES! YES! YES! NO MORE BOSSY FAIRY!" But with Tael's arguing, Tatl decided to come anyway. >.> Too bad...

Even though I wanted sooooooo badly to tell Majora's Mask, "YES" when he asked if I would play with him, Rowan said I wouldn't get Feirce Diety Mask if I did. So, although I hated it, I left Majora's Mask there.

To get Feirce Diety Mask, you have to talk to all the kids wearing the bosses' masks, play "hide-and-seek" with them, hand over your masks, then talk to Majora's Mask and it (?) will hand over Feirce Diety. Sounded easy enough, and, as you know from reading past posts, I've been DYING to get this mask, so I was willing to give the evil bosses all my masks for this.

First I talked to, well, the first boss, duh. His room was easy enough, and, guess what? I got a piece of heart that completed a Heart Container! Yayz! I gave him my masks, and headed to the Goron boss next.

Okay, now, this is where it gets crazy. And stupid. O.o

I tried to Goron place. You have to bounce into the chests apparently to get to this area when you are rolling. Well, I had no idea really HOW to do this, but I was willing to try. Besides, I had unlimited magic power, right? And LOTS of hearts, thanks to that Heart Container. So I tried...

And failed.

Well, let's try again.

Fail.

Again?

Fail.

Fail. Fail. Fail, fail, fail.

>.<

I could NOT do this place! GEEZ! IMPOSSIBLE! Even all my friends tried it, and my sister, AND I COULDN'T DO IT!

Eventually I gave up, and I hurried on to the Zora boss. I'm not entirely sure WHAT I did, because basically I just swam through the long tunnel and followed this current that kept pushing me, but somehow I ended up in the area where Gyorg was waiting for me, and I handed over more masks. Then I did Twinmold's place, and with the Great Fairy Sword, it was amazingly easy.

Now I only had two masks left - Mask of Truth, and of course, my Bunny Hood. And guess who I still had to do? The Goron place.

I kept trying, over and over... failure after failure... Taryn and Paige eventually had to leave, and I still hadn't beat it.

Then, guess what? Deflated, I went of YouTube, and I gladly watch a video. He does it perfect on his first try! Upset, I read a comment. It said something along the lines of, "The Goron place is so easy!" YEAH. RIGHT. Then I continued reading. "All you have to do is tilt the control stick forward for the first part to get the spikes." Yeah, did that. "Then you just leave the stick back in its original position while still holding A and you'll bounce off the chests and end up where you need to go."

O.O

Wait, so you're telling me all I had to do was NOT PRESS ANYTHING?!?!?!

So, finally, I went back on, and sure enough, IT WORKED! Man, I feel so stupid. This is just as idiotic as that time when I didn't know where to buy bombs when there is a bomb shop right in Clock Town.

I reluctantly handed over my wonderful Mask of Truth. And then, lol, I was so desperate to keep the Bunny Hood that I tried to give him the Goron Mask! But he wouldn't take it! :( So... I lost my beautiful Bunny Hood...

BUT I GOT FEIRCE DIETY MASK! WOOT WOOT!

Now I gtg, and this post is getting long anyway. I'll have to write more tomorrow, or whenever I get the chance. ;)

MM Update - SUCCESS!

Did I say Twinmold was hard? Just kidding! Honestly... it's easy once you have Chateau Romani on your side!

I had some friends over yesterday. One of them is a little girl that takes piano lessons at our house, and the other is her brother. Both are younger than me. However, I still enjoy younger kids, for some reason. I mean, Sydney's younger than me, and she's, what, my best friend!

Annnnnnyway....

Well, the girl's brother (Noob, if you read my "this might be helpful" or whatever page thingy) came in to watch me play Majora's Mask. To get him excited, I told him I was going to fight the "BIG BAD BOSS!" (Dun dun dun!) I drank my good ol' Chateau Romani, and then he got in trouble for some reason and had to do something before he could watch me fight the BIG BAD BOSS! (and yes, I know I'm being vague. That's purposeful. xD) However, he made me promise that I'd still let him watch the BIG BAD BOSS! (I'll always write it like that :P)

Disappointed, I went into the boss room anyway and played around in the area above the swirling vortex of doom that begins the fight. First, I decided to test if my magic power really was unlimited. Though Rowan continuously promised it was, I did a couple Spin Attacks to check. Then I randomly began shooting Light Arrows, pleased that I had infinite magic power. However, I didn't have infinite arrows, so I began to run out, so I stopped.

Then, utterly bored, I took out my hookshot and started shooting in random directions. Then I noticed the chest above the boss's vortex, and grinned as I realized I could hookshot it. Despite my sister's pleading to wait for our friend, I shot at it and fell into the boss fight. I put on my Giant's Mask, and considered fighting, but my sister kept telling me to wait. So, reluctantly I took off the mask and played Song of Soaring to go back to the entrance.

This time, I waited outside the boss chamber, and guess what? A glitch happened! Those flying pots that spin around and try to attack you got stuck in a corner on the ceiling! I tried everything to get it down - Hookshot, arrows, LIGHT arrows, Komaro's Mask (danced for it xD), Circus Leader's Mask (cried for it), Bremen Mask (marched), Bunny Hood (okay, I always wear this, lol), and everything else I could think of.

Then the guy came back in, and I finally fought the BIG BAD BOSS.

And won!

So... then I did the Kafei and Anju sidequest, and now I OFFICIALLY HAVE ALL THE MASKS IN THE GAME (except Fierce Diety Mask :( )!!!!!!!

Yay. So, today, I'm going to fight the BIGGEST, BADDEST BOSS OF ALL TIME... Majora's Mask! :D (Well, except for maybe Gannon, he's probably worse... maybe...)

MM Update - FAILURE!

Twinmold is HARD.

I mean, like, super hard. Impossibly hard. ESPECIALLY hard for someone who doesn't have full magic power like they should, impossibly hard for someone who came in unprepared with no way to restore magic power.

In other words, hard for ME.

Yeah, yeah. I didn't really know what you had to do to fight the Twinmold, the boss of Stone Tower. Apparently, you need the Giant's Mask. Unfortunately, that takes magic power. Without knowing this, I hastily reached the boss and faced my doom.

Well, I suppose I didn't fail TOO much. I mean, I killed one of the Twinmolds. That's good, right? However, I ran out of towers (they restore magic power) and out of patience, so I used Song of Soaring and got the heck out of there.

Next time I go in, I'm going to use Chateau Romani - according to people on YouTube, it gives you infinite magic power. Hopefully, that will help me defeat Twinmold.

MM Update - Just when I thought I was doing well.

I just discovered DEVASTATING information! Guess what? To complete the game, YOU HAVE TO GET EVERY MASK IN THE GAME! That means virtually every sidequest. I can't believe it!

Then again, it's really not that hard. I only need three more masks, not including Fierce Diety Mask (which I want soooooo badly). I need Couple's Mask, All-Night Mask, and Giant's Mask. I attempted to get the Couple's Mask, but failed with Sakon's "impenetrable secruity". Ugh, it IS impennatrable. I don't like it! Anyway, that's why I have the Keaton and Postman mask but not couple's mask. Then there's the All-Night Mask. I just got the Giant's Wallet, so I'll be able to buy it now. My poor bank account will suffer, but that's okay. I've got, what, a thousand rupees in there anyway, and I'm not even kidding. Then there's the Giant's Mask... well, in Stone Tower, I was suppose to get Light Arrows, but then I went back in time and lost all my progress. Oh well, that's not very far in the temple anyway. But apparently if I beat one of the mini-bosses, I'll get the Giant's Mask. It makes you giant, but only in the boss room. Darn.

My favorite (new - read below, lol) mask is Komaro's Mask! It makes Link dance! Lol! However, it's kind of creepy sometimes. But it got me a Heart Piece! In fact, it got me a new Heart Container! Yipee! :D Oh, and I like the Don Gero mask. It lets you talk to frogs.

Of course, Rowan likes the Romani Mask, A.K.A. cow mask! If you know Rowan, you know Rowan loves milk, lolz. So that makes perfect sense for her. xD

Ooh! I forgot! Did I say Komaro's Mask is my favorite? FORGET IT! Bunny Hood is my favorite! I just meant my favorite NEW mask. But of all time, the Bunny Mask is the bestest mask EVER. And it's adorable, too! When you give away all your masks at the end of the game, I wonder if I can give away the Goron Mask instead of the Bunny Hood? xD I know. I love it THAT MUCH that I'm willing to trade the Goron form for it... never liked Gorons anyway, though.

New Zelda game soon! ...Maybe.

The other night, I babysat some of my family's friends' kids, and I got ten bucks for it. That got me wondering what I would spend ten dollars on. I considered a number of options (including Crowns on Wizard101... I need some for the school house...) and then my mind just so HAPPENED to wander to Zelda games. I am almost done with Majora's Mask, right? I mean, I'm in the Stone Tower now. That's near the end, isn't it? It's the last giant, so it must be.

Then it suddenly occured to me that Majora's Mask... is the last Zelda game I need to complete!

Nooooo!!! If I finish that... what will I do with all my time? It's unlikely that I'm going to try and beat it again... my TP file is boring, because I watched my friend do that part and then he didn't save... I suppose I could do Ocarina of Time for a second time - I mean, I AM suppose to go to Karikaro for the first time on my third file... or I could do Spirit Tracks! I've completed almost all sidequests, so it wouldn't really matter if I deleted it and start over! But, uh, I LOVE the final boss... Phantom Hourglass? Well, actually, I COULD do that without losing much. Both files are on Bellum, so what would it matter if I deleted one?... Ooh! Ooh! Wind Waker! But I've beat that game SO many times, and I highly doubt that, even with four memory cards, I have any free files on there...

Now, back to the point. What about my ten dollars?

Our friend, Sydney JadeHammer, has A Link to the Past for GameBoy. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option for me, for I traded in my DS Lite for a DSi, which doesn't play Gameboy games (my poor Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga game! I can't play it anymore... not that I cared about it much in the first place, lol). Besides, if I were getting a GameBoy Zelda game, I'd rather have Minish Cap.

HOWEVER...

I CAN buy A Link to the Past on our Wii Shop Channel! YAY! Also, I think that they even made new controls for the Wii controller! That would be SO cool. Plus, on top of it all, it would be my FIRST EVER 2-D ZELDA GAME! O:

If I do decide to spend my $10 on A Link to the Past, I will have something to do! Yay for no boredom! :D

Um, but there's still the option of Crowns... xD

MM Update - I am so frustrated I feel like throwing something at my Wii!

My GOSH! Why can't I be NORMAL! NORMAL people actually SAVE often! And they don't get their progress on Majora's Mask erased FIVE TIMES!

I'm dead serious. It seems to be some sort of thing with me - I just can't save often enough on Zelda games. Like on Phantom Hourglass (READ)... or Wind Waker... or even Spirit Tracks once, recently... surprisingly, never on Twilight Princess, as far as I can remember. And I even posted something about not saving on MM a while back! (read here!)...

However, seriously, I am sick and tired of losing my progress on Majora's Mask. I, like, want to throw something at the screen. I want to totally destroy my Wii, at this point. I'm THAT mad.

Really. From the above post, you can see that I didn't save in Snowhead once, by accident. Also, I witnessed getting the Zora Mask THREE times. And now... I guess I have to get back into Ikana Castle...

It keeps happening specifically to Majora's Mask because it is so easy NOT to save on there. When I do something totally useless on any other Zelda game, or I do something really stupid, I don't save after because I don't need it remembering any of that data, and I had saved earlier, anyway. So... that is one hard habit that I MUST learn to break, because it is the reason I keep having to do everything over. Apparently, on MM, when you save at the owl statues, it doesn't really count as a real save. If you turn it off instead of going back to the first day or saving at another statue, you will go all the way back to the first day, losing ANY progress you have gained. Ugh...

Well, except, the time when I was in Ikana would be actually humorous if I weren't so frustrated right now. It really wasn't my fault this time. I was actually near dying in the palace. I'd come in with two fairies, but because the ReDeads kept catching me, I had used both of them and one had one and a half hearts left. I'm about to die, and have no clue what to do... bad combination, right? Anyway, I bring in my sister to help a bit. Then, I accidentally fall in this hole that lands me directly into the center of a group of four ReDeads. Even though I get away from them, I hurry into the next room, and there are four MORE ReDeads. O.o

And, unfortunately, I got pwned.

Annoyed at myself for being an idiot and falling into that group of ReDeads, I angrily give a sharp tug on the GameCube Controller (cuz' of course I play with that, not the classic controller! Like I'd spend the money on a Classic Controller when I have four GameCube ones lying around!), and sadly (unlike the classic controller xD), GC controllers and WIRED. So, guess what happens when I tug on the remote? The entire Wii comes with it. The Wii tips over, and, fortunately, the TV happened to be there, and that keeps it propped up. Rowan and I let out a sigh of relief... before realizing that the screen isn't coming out of the blackness that always happens after you die. Instead, one sentence shows up on the top of the blackness: "You will need the Classic Controller".

Both of us are like, "WHAT?" Because that's what it says when you are at the title screen.

Then, I press A on my GameCube Controller, and, sure enough, it DOES go to the title screen! As "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" shows up on my screen, I gasp aloud. I hurry over to the Wii to inspect it.

Apparently, the Wii had tipped over into JUST the right position that it hit the "reset" button.

-.-

Apparently I can't draw straight lines OR count...

THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS!

I am doing totally awesome on my Zelda game. I'm so excited - I'm almost to the final boss!

Then I suddenly come across a puzzle. I think, "No problem! I've completed all the other ones before this!" However, even though the answer seems obvious, it isn't. I try the way I think it should be solved, but it doesn't work. Then I go to more abstract ways, using my items in the most creative ways I can imagine. I even attempt crazy ideas, missions that usually end in my... end. Finally, in complete frustration and desperation, I look up a walkthrough - and discover that I had been doing everything right in the first place. I'd just made one, tiny, miniscule mistake that had thrown everything off, making me go insane trying to decode the impossible riddles of the Zelda world.

So... why the HECK does this happen to ME? Do any other Zelda fans run into this?

I mean, really. I can think of two really recent times this happened, and even old ones.

Like in Wind Waker, the first Zelda game I ever played. At that time, I didn't even know what "walkthrough" was, so I couldn't even try it. When I got stuck on the Forsaken Fortress, I was pretty much stuck there for good. I didn't know ANYTHING about Zelda puzzles, so I didn't know what to do. Turns out the answer was obvious - go into that ONE room that I had always been to afraid to go into!

Also, what about on Spirit Tracks just a little while ago? I had been totally stumped with those riddles, which, actually, I didn't even need. I had been doing it right - find all the statues, then draw lines where their gazes are. Easy, right? Wrong. I drew their gazes all wrong, apparently. I couldn't draw straight lines in the right direction, so I never saw where they met.

Then there's another recent one - Majora's Mask. I said there were five in the tank, but I had six... well, I guess not. I hadn't gotten six. I DID get five. Plus, I discovered a way that I can get back to the eel place, retreiving the final Zora Egg. It taught me the song "New Wave Bossa Nova". I'm not entirely sure what that means, but it got into the Great Bay Temple, so I'm good! The only difference with this one is I figured it out myself, eventually. I DIDN'T look at a walkthrough (congrats to me! :D).

So... lesson to everyone: LEARN TO DRAW LINES AND COUNT RIGHT! Oh, and don't be scared to go into rooms to turn off the one searchlight you had always missed. That one is REALLY important. It got me stuck for an entire year...

MM Update - Okay, NOW I understand why this game is the "HARD" Zelda game...

Darn! They weren't kidding! Majora's Mask IS hard! I've already looked up at least four different walkthroughs to try and get through the impossible parts I keep getting stuck on. Now I think I just made a HUGE mistake. I was suppose to collect Zora eggs. But... I'm so confused now. I went into the pirates fortress, and I KNOW I got the egg in the room with my hookshot and fought off THREE pirates to get the other three eggs. Then I went into this eel place to get two more eggs. So that would mean... three from the pirates, one from the hookshot, two from the eels. 3+1+2=6. So... why do I have five in the tank?

Plus, I just discovered I can't go back to the eel place, and I'm worried that there are THREE eggs there. Well, I only have two bottles! I had to leave to go back to drop off the eggs so I could get more! I didn't know you couldn't come back.

I'm going to try the Pirate's Fortress first to see if I left any in there by accident. Sigh...

I beat Spirit Tracks again! And again! ...And again. Again... again......again... again......

So I loved the Spirit Tracks ending SO much that I totally just did the final boss three-zillion times. The first two I did in my engineer clothes by accident. If you get 15 stamps in your stamp book, you get your engineer outfit back! I wasn't really sure how to change back to my old green hero's clothes, so, um... I didn't. But, you know, the whole train thing has kinda grown on me. Remember my post back when I first found out about ST? Rowan and I laughed so hard at Link's train and engineer outfit. Now... I fought the final boss in them! I don't mind them so much anymore. Especially the train. I LOVE my train. xD

After that, I discovered that if you talk to Niko, he'll give you back your green clothes. And in the corner of the room, I found my old shield again, too (if you get 10 stamps I believe, he gives you the shield from PH)! So I did it with that a few times.

Finally, after about, what, thirty times, I got bored of the end and got busy with the sidequests. I found three stations I'd never known about, one in Fire Realm, one in Snow Realm, and one (called Pirate's Fortress) in Ocean Realm! Fire and Snow ones gave me lots of Rupees and treasure, and even one Heart Container when I completed the super hard puzzles in there. The Pirate's Fortress was a lot like the arrow minigame on Phantom Hourglass, so I beat that pretty easily, rescuing some guy and taking him back to Papachia in Ocean Realm. Then, I did the bestest part - I filled up the stamp book, getting all twenty stamps! And guess what I got? SWORDSMAN'S SCROLL! Yay yay yay! That gives you what I like to call the "Hurricane Spin" (that was its title in WW, so it stuck with me) which, after a number of Spin Attacks (three, I believe) you get to spin around like crazy and destroy anything in your path! Sounds perfect to me. XD

Oh, and next I tried out that minigame by Hyrule Castle. It really is amazing. It allows you to fight all the bosses again! I've never seen anything like that in a Zelda game before! The closest was probably the Zant fight in TP, where you go back to all the areas you fought bosses (and two mini-bosses) to fight Zant. However, I cannot seem to beat the third level. I get all the way to the final boss, the Sand Temple one (Skeldritch... you can tell I've fought him a lot because I memorized his name xD), and then died at least four times. I can't get past him! Ugh! I think to myself, how did I EVER beat him the first time! I can't even seem to hit his back with the rocks!

Well... I should probably stop before I waste the entire morning. Besides, I was planning on calling Sydney so we could get together (and I can show her ST's ending... she still doesn't know I completed it!).

Bye bye! ;)

A LoZ Central?!?

Anyone who reads my other blog would know that I have an account on Wizard101 Central. But guess what? I just found out about a ZELDA Central! Okay, that's not what it's called. However, it is SO much like W101Central!

Here's my page: http://legendofzelda.atomicgamer.com/forums/member.php?u=20509

I'm still a "Deku Scrub"... but I have NO problem with that! Deku Link is adorable... XD

ST Update - BEST. ENDING. EVER.

I already completed Spirit Tracks!

...Dangit... now I have to do Majora's Mask... which is HARD...

Whatever. The ending was FANTASTIC!

If you have the game and/or don't want spoilers, you'd better not read on!

It was amazing, though. After a period of time when I was ever so slightly stuck in the Tower of Spirits, I figured out what to do and managed to escape with the Compass of Light! That item apparently helps me find the Dark Realm. New tracks "ominously" appeared (lol, that's what it said) and led off into complete darkness. In the Dark Realm, I died at least a dozen times, but I FINALLY defeated all the enemy trains and the Demon Train! Then after a short cutscene (and it played a song from my favorite Zelda game, Wind Waker!) I got to go ahead and fight the Demon King and Chancellor Cole! I didn't do so well at first, but hey, I didn't use a potion, so that's good (I needed it for the FINAL final boss, anyway)! I SO didn't like the rats that Chancellor Cole made appear, though. Zelda was terrified of them, they totally pwned me more than once, and if they touched Zelda, they made her turn on me! And trust me, it is NOT nice to have a Phantom turn on you.

Once I completed THAT, I saw another cutscene in which Zelda finally gets her body back! Good for her! ...But bad for me. I didn't have a Phantom buddy anymore, and she stole my Light Bow, just like in Wind Waker! D:

Well, it helped me, I guess. Except when I had to protect her. That was HARD. She got hit four times before I managed to deflect all the meteors that the Demon King was sending at me.

The REAL ending though, after I defeated the king, was the best! For the first time in ANY Zelda game I've ever played, Zelda and Link actually defeat the Demon King TOGETHER. It was so cute! Zelda helped Link hold of up the sword. Awesome!

Then, at the very, very, VERY end, Byrne, Anjean, and the other Lokomos flew away and Link and Zelda held hands.

Ooh... I KNEW THEY LIKED EACH OTHER!

Well, that's too bad. I really miss playing Spirit Tracks - it is officially one of my top favorite Zelda games (while PH is STILL at the bottom). Sigh... I wish I could play it again... Oh, wait, I CAN! YES! I'm going to delete my file and start over! Yay!

ST Update - No one told me this game was so HARD!

This is, like, the OPPOSITE of Twilight Princess. It's HARD.

I figured out that puzzle by doing a suicide mission that apparently wasn't suicidal (I got a Phantom Eye to see me, made Zelda warp to me. The other two Phantoms that I thought would kill me with this plan warped into the sand...). But now.... STUCK AGAIN!

I finally completed the Fire Realm, too! Yes! And I defeated Byrne... or whatever his name was. Zelda and Link high-fived - it was so cute! And then I met Malladus! I totally thought I was climbing up the tower to defeat him, but nooooooo. Apparently I need a "Light Bow." :(

And the Light Bow is so hard to get! I am currently attempting to solve three riddles:

1. The lake is the sea. The path is the rails.
2. Find me by blasting the spot where the big statues' gazes meet.
3. Do not dwell on what is inside. Instead, turn your gaze outward. There are no statues here.

NO CLUE WHAT THE HECK ANY OF THOSE MEAN! Well, except the first one. I believe that might mean that the path on the island matches the rails and the water around the island matches the ocean. I mean, that makes sense...

There are these huge statues all around the desert. I keep going out on my train, hoping to find two whose gazes meet... but none of them do! I was thinking about the third clue, and is says "turn your gaze outward." So, does that mean I should turn the gazes of the statues the opposite way? They still don't meet each other then...

Ugh.... I'm so stuck....

ST Update - Just when it was getting good...

I completed the Ocean Temple, finally! YES!!!! It was awesome, and that was probably my favorite Zelda boss of all time. It was fantastic! I got that whip thing I wanted to terribly. It is just as amazing as I'd imagined it would be.

But...

I headed back to this place called "Tower of Spirits" that you always have to go to after you complete a dungeon so that I could get the final Rail Map. Unfortunately, I am currently stuck. I was just playing it a few minutes ago, and then I got stuck. So stuck that even with both of us (Rowan and me) working to solve the puzzle, we can't figure it out. Geez! I mean, all its prequels, Phantom Hourglass and Wind Waker, I got through easily (except for Wind Temple and Forsaken Fortress on WW - those WERE kinda hard). This is the first time in a while I've been stuck on a Zelda game (MM and OoT don't count, lol - they're technically not real games the way I have them, because I don't have a disk)!

What I did was get all three Tears of Light like I'm suppose to, get my sword all shiny and glowy and whatever, stun a Phantom, make Zelda possess it, figure out all these super hard puzzles to get up I think three floors, and then got stuck. I got a small key, but there's this big giant wall blocking my way to the locked door and I have absolutely NO idea how to move it. O. o

Sigh... I guess I'll have to figure it out... I mean, nothing is impossible... right?

ST Update - HUNTER THUNDERSHIELD ROCKS!

You wouldn't believe it!

If you read my Creative Writing story, you'll know Hunter ThunderShield is Sydney JadeHammer's brother. Yeah, well, it's the same thing in real life. Luckily for him, he got a DSi for his recent birthday. Because he didn't need his old DS anymore, HE LET ME BORROW IT TO PLAY SPIRIT TRACKS!

So now I have a DS whose microphone AND touch screen AND L and R buttons AND top screen work perfectly! Amazing! Thank you sooooo much Hunter!

Just this morning I played some awesome duet with this guy named Steem. Yay! Oh, and did you know there's a Sage named Gage? O. o

Okay, so this is like Majora's Mask all over again. All the characters from Ocarina happened to be in Termina, too, and now everyone I found in the world of Phantom Hourglass is in New Hyrule, too! Like Jolene was there (there's a personal joke with Sydney and Rowan and I where I am the "Little Green Parrot" to her, referring to Link's green clothes XD) and I saw Linebeck on the IGN review, and... a lot of stuff. Oh, and Alfonzo and Niko! They're important! Alfonzo gave me the cannon! And Niko gave me a stamp book!

ST Update - I'M NOT WAITING ANYMORE! (And the first boss is easy :P)

FINALLY!

I got my super awesomeful Spirit Tracks game I've been waiting FOREVER for! Yayz!

I have, uh, exactly... two minutes to write everything I can. Here I go!

Okay, so Niko is like, really, really, REALLY old. I mean, Grandpa old. And Zelda is WEIRD. I don't WANT her to be my partner anymore. O. o

And UGH, the microphone is used WAY too much. I wish my microphone works... but it doesn't... sigh...

Okay... that was enough! XD I can't write anymore now. I beat the first boss, from the title, lol...

Write more later!

I'm going to get Spirit Tracks... NOW!

Just as the title says. I'm just getting ready to leave to get my new game! I'm SOOOOO EXCITED! :D :D :D

ST - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

This is almost as bad as when I deleted my Twilight Princess file!

I can't get Spirit Tracks today! The game store sent me a text message that said it wouldn't be available until tomorrow!

NOOO!

I really, REALLY was looking forward to having it the first day it came out! I'm SO disappointed!

It's not fair... :(

MM Update - Gorons are INCREDIBLY annoying.

Well, perhaps not as annoying as they are on OoT, but still...

I completed the Deku Scrub palace place - Woodfall, I believe it was called - and Deku Link is still as cute as ever! I just love the little sounds he makes... XD

Anywho, so after a TREMENDOUSLY stupid period of time where I had no idea what to do, I got to the Snowpeak place. And, uh, got the Goron mask... and then didn't save. O. o

So I had to do all this again, got the mask... and then into the temple... and then got stuck... and I'm STILL stuck... ugh...

Oh, and the really dumb thing that happened? Haha, funny story actually...

So I couldn't figure out where to get the bombs. I seriously tried EVERYTHING I could think of. I wondered if maybe you weren't supposed to even get bombs... maybe I needed something else...

I was so stuck I went and looked up a guide on You Tube, and realized I'd made a really dumb mistake.

So I need bombs... Why don't I go to the BOMB SHOP?!?!?!

Gosh... I can be REALLY foolish sometimes...

Spirit Tracks comes out... TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!!!

I'm ecstatic (as you can see from the above "yayes")! I CAN'T WAIT! At, um, about 5 tonight (my time) I'M GOING TO THE STORE TO GET SPIRIT TRACKS! My first Zelda game I've gotten the day it came out. Sigh... it's so amazing...

Come on... I NEED Spirit Tracks to come soon...

I played a bit of Phantom Hourglass this morning in honor of its fantastic new sequel. I almost died out on the ocean (some sharks and an octorock or two found me, but I still kept hitting those rupee jellyfish things...). So I want ST. That way, instead of dying on the ocean, I'll die on the train tracks. XD Okay, doesn't sound much better. But at least Zelda will be with me!

Forget about the "Coutdown" thing...

So I couldn't get on the computer the other day... so my countdown is ruined.

Doesn't mean I can't be excited that MONDAY IS TOMORROW! O:

SPIRIT TRACKS COMES OUT TOMORROW!

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omr omr omr omr omr omr omr omr omr omr omr omr omr... (XD That's a joke between Sydney and Rowan and I...)

3 Days until Spirit Tracks!

Woot! I'm counting down the days. Oh man, I can't wait. It will be SOOOOO awesomeful. Expect a HUGE blog post from me when I get it! XD

THREE DAYS LEFT!

SOOOOO CLOSE TO SPIRIT TRACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Normally I'd be hoping the weekend would carry on forever, but this is an exception! I hope Monday comes quickly!

HURRY UP, ST!

Best. Manga. EVER!

I just figured out that Minish Cap Link is actually Toon Link - the same Link I know and love so much in Wind Waker AND Phantom Hourglass ANNNND the awesomeful Spirit Tracks I've been waiting for! Sweetness! He is SOOO cute in manga form! :D

Um, anyway, the last line is the BEST.

"Vaati, just shut up and cut the cake."

XD I love it! If you're a Zelda fan, you'll really understand why that's so hilarious. Vaati is the bad guy... that's why I love that.

Huh... but MC sounds a LOT like Phantom Hourglass... Zelda turns to stone... have to find elements to make a sword (Picori blade in this one... but I will still think of it as Phantom Sword, lol...), blah blah blah....

LttP - "There's ANOTHER Master Sword here!"

Okay, I seriously think that that line has GOT to be the most hilarious thing my sister, Rowan WillowLeaf as she's known, has ever said in her entire life.


I think everyone else must call me crazy for thinking that. Really, I, um, like it a bit too much. But I just find it HILARIOUS.


So, I went over to Sydney's house this weekend. She had recently hooked her Wii up to Wi-Fi, so she went ahead and bought Pokemon Rumble off the Wii Shop Channel (believe me, Sydney isn't THAT much of a Zelda fan... she prefers Pokemon. The only reason she even knows what Zelda is is because we told her so much about it...). So she kinda forced Rowan and I to play three player with her. Since she called the Pidgeot and Haunter and Rowan got the Mew, I ended up with few choices. In the end I decided upon a Goldeen because it knew Supersonic which confused the enemies. It was really helpful. :)

Anyway, that's not the point. After that I let Sydney play my Twilight Princess game by allowing her to make her own file. Lol, she had lots of fun ("When you throw stuff at Epona, she gives you Rupees!" "SQUIRREL!" "Noooo! I lost my rock!" XD Don't ask). Unfortuantely, NONE of it had to do with the main storyline like she was supposed to, so finally I lied to make her go ("C'mon, Sydney. If you go to the ranch and do your work, you'll get paid rupees!"). So she went, and we got as far as the second day... before she had to save and turn off.

Anyway, during that time, Rowan was playing one of Sydney's two Zelda games. She has Phantom Hourglass like we do, but A Link to the Past like we... don't.

She allowed both of us to make a file, but I've never played mine, lol. Anyway, after my sis was almost turned in by some evil little kid (You're all over the wanted posters, but she talks to people... Geez Rowan, get a clue!) she traveled to the Forest.

Idk how, but somehow she found the MASTER SWORD! Well, you'd think she'd be excited, but unlike all the other Zelda games we own, you can't pull out the Master Sword at first. You have to collect gems... or something... Idk, I wasn't paying much attention... XD

Anywho, so Sydney and I keep on going along with our Twilight Princess stuff ("Geez, Sydney! Stop throwing stuff at Epona! Okay, you named her Mist. Whatever. STOP THROWING STUFF AT HER! You could have met Midna by now if you'd tried!") . Rowan went through the Forest some more, exploring, and constantly annoying Sydney by asking for directions (Rowan:"How do you pick up the pots?" Sydney:"Um, I don't know! Press L or R or something!" Rowan:"Dangit... my L and R buttons don't work..." Me: "Use my DS!" Rowan: "Nah, that's okay." Sydney: "You do realize at some point you HAVE to pick up the pots, right..?" Rowan: "I'll live...").

Then, while Sydney was herding some goats around on Epona (or I think she called her's Mist) Rowan said out that amazingly hilarious line:

"Woah... There's ANOTHER Master Sword here!"

Idk why, but Sydney and I completely BURST OUT laughing. I couldn't help it! But just the thought of another Master Sword...

Sydney said, "Um, you'd better not take it. It's probably a trap or something."

Haha, but I always have to be the weird one: "Take it, Rowan! Take it! I want to see what happens!" XD

Rowan refused to take it though. And then she died by some monster when she tried to get out of the Forest. O. o

I told her she should have taken it!

Less than a week for ST!!!!

IT'S DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally! Just like I'd been waiting for. Yay!

The Minish Cap manga came out today (yeah, I know, I said December 2nd, but it's actually the first, lol...)! I can't WAIT to go to the bookstore to get it. Best of all, Vanessa DreamHaven gave me a gift card there for my birthday! It's what I bought Four Swords Part 2 with, and it's what I'm planning on buying MC and a Link to the Past when it comes out in February.

Now Spirit Tracks is less than a week away - only six days! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh............. I CAN'T WAIT! It's KILLING ME! I don't want to play Twilight Princess and Wind Waker and Majora's Mask forever (that's all I've been playing lately, lol)!

December 7th better come soon!

Why I even started playing Zelda games in the first place!

Um, you're probably wondering why I like Zelda games so much. Obviously I'm completely CRAZY about them, so uh, how did this start?

It all began about two years ago (or probably even longer, I can't remember anymore - I mean, how old is the GameCube? Yeah, it's around that time...) when my sister and I recieved Super Smash Bros. Melee (note: NOT THE WII VERSION, SSB Brawl!) and we picked our favorite characters. Of course I instantly loved Pikachu - who can't with that cute little party hat of his and that awesome up smash attack? Besides, Pokemon was about the only video game series I knew about at the time. Anyway, my sister's decision was harder - I refused to let her be my little Pika Pal, so she was forced to choose someone else - and she choose Zelda.

So, we had NO clue who the heck Zelda was. She was some kind of princess, obviously, from the pretty crown. Um, at first we never even realized that she was linked to Link (lol, linked to Link! Um, sorry, just Zelda humor :P). But then when we got into events and stuff, there were Zelda events where Zelda and Link were on a team and you had to be Gannon and defeat them (good thing we didn't know about the series - I would have felt guilty! In the games I practically AM Link! I don't want to kill myself! Or Zelda!). So, my sister, who REALLY liked Zelda, begged to buy a Zelda game. In particular, we wanted Twilight Princess. Now, we were, like, six at the time or something - now, think about the creepy cutscenes in TP. I am SO glad we did not get that one first. In fact, the reason we didn't get it was probably because it was rated T. So, instead we recieved Wind Waker... which we were TOTALLY confused about.

We wondered where Zelda can be, and who is this little green freak in green? And that weird girl who calls you big brother...

So I'll be honest - we didn't really like Zelda games. XD

What we did instead was go all the way through the game to the Forsaken Fortress, hoping we'd find Zelda soon. (LOL, imagine what would have happened if we'd bought something like Majora's Mask where Zelda isn't even in it! O:) Okay, unfortunately, our TV was on a super low brightness setting - so we could BARELY see anything in the desolate and dark Forsaken Fortress. When we got thrown in jail (which happened A LOT) we couldn't figure out how to get out, no matter how much Zelda hinted, "There's gotta be some hole you can crawl out of...)

Finally we got near the top - and then found a search light that we couldn't get rid of! Apparently, there is a search light by the jail that we had always missed, so it would always catch us when we were coming up. Ugh!

Soooo.... we gave up on Zelda games for an entire year. A WHOLE YEAR. Without Zelda! Right now the idea appalls me...

Then we stumbled across a walkthrough of it on the internet, and saw the amazing search light we'd missed! We hurried back on the game and turned off the searchlight. Best part was, over the year we hadn't played out TV had been fixed, so we found a way out of the jail! And so, we completed the Forsaken Fortress and FINALLY found out why it was called Wind Waker - and Legend of Zelda.

After that, we made about twenty different files on all of our memory cards. My best file, the first one I completed, I still have, and I still play it every once and a while. In fact, I played it just last week! I wanted to defeat Gannon, so yeah... XD It's also the only file we have Hero's Mask on, and Magic Armor. Funny part is, we DON'T have all items - we're missing a bottle! I am not sure which one I'm missing, so... sigh... only three bottles... Oh, and the most hilarious part of all - it was the file we discovered that faries heal you, even when you die... We were being such IDIOTS. We had no idea that if you died, the fairies would automatically heal you! We didn't know that until this summer! I've had this game for, what, four, three years? And we didn't know until recently... O. o

Okay, that's it for now! I don't want to write anymore about it...

Zelda Spirit Tracks - Oh, no...

I'm super disappointed! I went on Zelda Universe the other day, and from there went to the Spirit Tracks official wesite thingy (I also went to the Twilight Princess one, lol, but that's another story...) and then I read through all the items, and I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Apparently the first item is some weird pinwheel thing... and to use it, you have to blow into the microphone!

Okay, so usually that wouldn't be bad. In fact, it would be really, really cool. It IS a good idea, after all. However, my DS is BROKEN... My microphone doesn't work!

It's a really long story about how that all happened. My sister and I were joking around, and then she reached out and knocked the DS out of my hand, and it went flying and crashed to the ground, HARD. The entire top screen was only hanging by a thread but, to my surprise, the game was still running just fine! I think I was playing Dolphinz or something at the moment, and my penguins just kept on swimming around, acting as if nothing had happened, lol... But now I can't even play that game anymore. If any of my animals get sick or I have to train them, I have to use the microphone, and can't get out of it until I do, so I end up turning the game off and losing everything.

Obviously, if you know anything about Phantom Hourglass, you'd be wondering how I am playing that game. The first level is all about blowing out candles and stuff, and you have to talk into the mic to get the Salvage Arm. Well, I would always switch to my sister's DS when I needed to. Um, problem is that hers is broken, too. Her top screen shorts out and blinks white, and her DS is COMPLETELY uncoordinated on the touch screen, and her L and R buttons don't work. So I'd much prefer mine - I don't need the microphone ALL the time, do I?

Anyway, in ST I discovered there is the Pinwheel, AND some weird Flute thingy that you have to play. Now, don't get me wrong - I LOVE the flute idea! It's fantastic! But I'm afraid I'll get all the way through some impossible temple or collect all the Tears of Light and then Zelda will force me to learn a song - and the only way to get out of this is to turn the game off and lose all my progress!

I REALLY hope I can think of something...

Anyway, I already preordered the game at the store, so I'm gonna try playing it, anyway... I just gotta remember to save often!

Come on December, hurry up already!!!

Ugh, why do all the awesome things have to come out DECEMBER? Could they have released them just ONE month earlier? Seriously, how hard can that be?

But... sigh... I have to wait just a FEW more weeks for Spirit Tracks and the Minish Cap manga to come out. Ugh. Just recently, I saw another advertisment on the Nintendo Channel on my Wii for ST, and oh my gosh, was I surprised! That combined with what I learned from The Hylia totally stunned me.

ZELDA DIES!

What the heck! How can you have a ZELDA game when ZELDA is DEAD?!?! Really! I think that Nintendo has gone crazy...

And the other thing I'm waiting for is the Minish Cap manga, so I'm heading to the bookstore December 2nd! And then I gotta wait for December 7th for Spirit Tracks... aww...

PH - Okay, I'll admit it. Action Replay CAN be bad sometimes...

Lucky for me, so far Action Replay hasn't done anything too bad to my Pokemon game. However, apparently it works differently for Zelda games.

Seth Goldenblood, the person who's been letting me use his AR to get those FANTASTIC Pokemon, has a little brother, who's name in the game is Quinn... something. Anyway, he got ALL the way to the Goron Island in Phantom Hourglass. That's pretty far! I would hate to lose all that progress... but he made a huge mistake that is now forcing him to do so.

When they came to my house the other day, Quinn said to me, "Will you pretty please help me with Phantom Hourglass?" He knows that I have beat the game, and everytime he comes over her asks me that. So I replied, "Sure", not expecting it to be so incredibly... IMPOSSIBLE to complete.

He turned on his game, and told me he was trying to get the Azurine or whichever the Goron pure metal is (I forget, lol). He was right outside the Temple that you get the metal in. I said, "Oh, you have to complete that temple. Haven't you done that yet?"

He said, "Yeah. I already defeated the boss."

I was surprised. "Then why do you need my help getting the metal?"

Finally Seth, who was a bit older and easier to understand, spoke up, saying, "He can't get off the island. He has to talk to all the Gorons there before he can leave."

Now I was REALLY confused. To get into the temple to get the pure metal, you have to become a "brother to the Gorons" by talking to every Goron on the island and then taking a quiz. It didn't make any sense at all... "You can't have the metal if you haven't done that! Why don't you just get on the ship and leave?" I took the game from him and proceeded to do so. I went to Linebeck, and after saying some annoying line about, "Do you really want to leave your cousins, Link? Don't get emotional about leaving them!" he said that we could ship out.

Then Ciela - that annoying, fluttering puff-ball fairy that says "Hey!" all the time a NEVER lets you do anything fun - shows up and says, "No, Link! You have to talk to all the Gorons on the island so you can get the pure metal!"

Oh great. I groaned aloud, probably. "What the HECK did you do, Quinn!" I shouted at him. "This is NOT supposed to happen." I looked up at his map, where there were black dots all over. "What are those?"

"I marked where all the Gorons are," he explained.

Woah. He'd even marked all of them! He HAD to have talked to them all! "But... I don't get it! How in the world did you get into the temple if you aren't a brother to the Gorons yet?"

Seth spoke up again. "Allow me to explain," he said. He guided Link to the usual enterance to the temple, which was still blocked by the Goron as it is before you become "Goro-Link". "He used an Action Replay code to jump over this guy. Then he completed the temple and beat the boss."

"Uh-oh," I groaned again. This was SO not good. I quickly took the game again and ran back toward the Goron Leader's house - and to my surprise found TWO Gongorons in there. "What in the world..." I said. I talked to the one on the left. He said, "We do not like outsiders here. My name is Gongoron. You'd better remember that!" or something. I recognized it as what he would say when you are still trying to become a member of the Goron tribe. I talked to the one on the right next. He said, "That was great, brother! You have the pure metal! You'd better talk to my father about it, first."

I burst out laughing. I finally understood! His game was caught between a mixture of the two parts of the the Goron Isle. Gongoron appeared on both sides - once when you first meet him, once after you complete the temple. Now they were both there at the same time. So, hoping to find at least some relief, I talked to the Goron Leader. "You have not talked to every Goron, outsider," he said. "Talk to me again when you have." I began giggling again. I turned around and explained all that I'd figured out to Quinn and Seth.

Seth started laughing again while Quinn scowled. "It's not funny," he growled.

"Yes, it IS funny, Quinn!" Seth yelled between laughs. "You'll have to start the game over again!"

Action Replay... AGAIN!

Haha, this is how our conversation went this morning when I met up with Sydney today... (Yes, I like writing! Even when it has to do with video games!)

"Hey, Sierra!" she greeted. "Guess what? I have some amazing new Pokemon cards I've gotta show you!"

"Really? I did stuff with Pokemon yesterday, too!" I said. "I got a new Pokemon on my game, and my frist ever shiny!"

She gasped. "Seriously? What is it?"

I grinned. "A Charizard."

Lol, she went crazy with that. She actually has a level 100 Charizard (named Charmer :D) that she raised herself from her old Pokemon game. It's her favorite Pokemon. Then I went into telling her the stats, and she could only stare at me in awe. Here are the stats:

Lvl 100
Complete shine in every contest categorie
Holding Sacred Ash
OT ????????
Moves: Leaf Storm, Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, Dragon Rush
Shiny
Has EVERY ribbon (no kidding! Even things from Hoenn region! :D)
Has Pokerus
Supposedly "Met at level 5"
Stats are max

And to think that it all came from an old Magikarp that I had! XD

Yeah, Seth came over yesterday, and he brought his Action Replay again. :P (Come to think of it, Cheats are bad... my friend did something to his Phantom Hourglass game and... ooh! I'm writing about that next!)

PH Update - I really, REALLY gotta save more...

Ugh! Just the other day, for the sixth time, my game shut down and I lost all my progress! Oh... I guess this is my first Phantom Hourglass update... I think... Idk, I can't remember. And I'm in a hurry now, again...

Whatever. The family went on some kinda car trip to some park place (XD) and I brought my DS and my Creative Writing story along. Since I have writer's block a bit, I played my DS, and it just so happens that Phantom Hourglass was in it. So, with the new file I created over my sister's file (she's mad at me for that, lol) called simply "Link", I got through a TON of levels... but, the funny thing was, I was on Molida island. The stuff that had happened since last time I saved included beat Isle of the Dead, getting ten Spirit Gems for EVERY spirit (Yay! Ceila's lighning bolts are AWESOME!), finding a treasure room (there were a TON of Rupoors in there, so I lost so much money cuz the bats kept pushing me into them XD) that had a piece of the gold theme in it, and getting over 600 hits on that guy on that boat who pretends to be Wind Waker you (I dont like him too much), and then my game froze! All I did was read a sign, and I lost all my progress! STUPID SIGN!

Okay, write more later when I get home.

MM Update - YES! You heard me right! MAJORA'S MASK! O:

From the title (ugh! Maybe I should stop writing so descriptive titles! XD) you most likely can already guess what this entry will be about. So, the other day, while Rowan was out playing tennis (Lolz, she wasn't very happy that I did this without her! And then she turned on me and started her own file even though she knew I wanted to see the beginning again, because there's only two files on this for some reason...) I went on the Wii Shop Channel and bought myself the old N64 Zelda game, Majora's Mask. YAY! I was excited, because I'd only read the manga before (by Akira Himekawa, remember? I told you about that, didn't I? Hmm...), and it seemed pretty interesting. I mean, turning into a Zora? Who WOULDN'T want that? It would have been even better if you could turn into Medli, but I suppose that's too much to ask for. XD

Anywho, I began my file and, enjoying the total pwnage of Skull Kid on Link (Rofl, I felt bad for poor Link! He totally got knocked out, his horse AND the Ocarina of Time stolen, and got dragged along by Epona before falling into an inevitable hole and turning into a Deku Scrub! XD) and then, when I finally got to move for the first time to follow Skull Kid, I marveled when Link did a backflip while jumping! Seriously, I must have spent at least a half an hour just jumping back and forth between those two platforms, lol. But I'd never seen that before! None of the other games have Link backflip when jumping! It was amazing!

Then I got to the part with Tatl and her brother being split up, and it was so sweet! No offense to poor OoT, but I like Tatl A LOT better than Navi. At least there's no "HEY! LISTEN! WATCH OUT! HEY! HEY! LISTEN!" Now there's sparkly sounds. XD Only thing that gets annoying about Tatl is every time you talk to her, she says at the end "Oh no! You only have" such and such time left. Ugh, I KNOW I only have two hours left! XD No, jk. I didn't get QUITE that far down. I did get to the third day, though, before I realized what I was supposed to do. Also, if you start to get sidetracked, she reminds you that you need to find Skull Kid. Aww! But it's fun to get sidetracked!

Also, I absolutely LOVE Deku Link! He's adorable! And he makes cute noises when he walks and jumps! ROFL, really! Oh, and dogs are now officially EVIL! Well, except for real life ones, but Zelda ones, EVIL! Nvm, just OoT and MM. The ones on TP are too sweet to hate (really! You cannot just say no to that adorable puppy dog pout and wagging tail!), and I can't remember seeing any in my other games. Therefore, I had a lot of fun when I found that on MM you can THROW the dogs! XD

Sooo... I think I'm in the swamp somewhere. Lolz, I met the Twinrova again. Remember Cup Cake? I saw her again! And she still has the same name, so I can still make fun of it! :D

Hmm, and I can't say I enjoy those lily pad things that sink all the time. I must have fallen and even gotten game over's at least twenty times from those things! I said to my sister at one point, "You know, the moon is totally going to fall while I'm on these things. I just know it!" So I actually DID get to the third day without managing to get to the first temple. Ugh, I haven't even battled a boss yet. No wonder everyone calls it the hardest Zelda game! This is sure to keep me busy for a while.

So I just saved eventually at one of those owl things on the third day. I was planning on hurrying to Castle Town to put in all my rupees before I play the Song of Time and start over. Lolz, I have plenty more funny stories, but I gtg now! That should be enough, anyway. Cya!

Spirit Tracks release date!

I just discovered when the next Zelda game is coming! On December 7th, LoZ: Spirit Tracks will be released in U.S.! I cannot wait! I want to buy it right away. It's the second installment on the DS, so it will be AWESOME! A sequel to Phantom Hourglass (SHOOT! Better go add that to my list of things I wanted to post! I've been playing PH a lot lately!), and technically to Wind Waker, too! Sweetness! Yay! Supercalifragilisticexp.... whatever! I will be buying it ASAP!

Halloween Costume!!!!

I'm soooooo excited for Halloween this year. You wanna know why? Okay, probably not, since no one is really reading this, anyway! But still, I'll tell you!

For Halloween, if I can pull it off I'm going to be ZELDA! Yes, Princess Zelda of Hyrule! It's going to be a pretty cheapy costume, lol, because I still don't have it ready today, two days before Halloween... but still. It's going to be awesome, because Rowan and I are going out Trick-or-Treating (which Idk why we're doing in the first place, lol... I think we're a bit too old for it, especially me, the oldest of the bunch) with Taryn WildHeart (past Balance Seeker) and Sydney JadeHammer (current Fire Seeker)! Best part it, Sydney's going to be Link for Halloween! Again, cheapy Link. XD But still, awesome!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

Oh, btw, I just made the Zelda from an old Sleeping Beauty costume I had lying around from when I was, like, six. After a bit of sewing, I got it to fit, and now I have to add a crown, some long white gloves, and a banner hanging down the front with a ton of Triforce-y swirly complex designs, and then I'm done!

I have a LOT to post here...

Okay, just because I have alot of separate posts here, and I doubt I'll finish them tonight (I have less than a half an hour and I wanna play Majora's Mask!... Oops, I didn't mean to ruin it, but I suppose I was going to tell you anyway... XD) so I was going to do a quick little post of what I want to write so I don't forget later!

Let's see... there's something about Spirt Tracks I wanted to put up... and Four Swords... and of course, my new game! :D Oh! And my super insanely awesome Halloween Costume! Sydney's being Link, and I'm going to be Zelda! :D :D

And, um, that MIGHT be all of it. XD I can't remember even NOW! Geez. Okay, I'd better get writing!

TP Update - Hmm... that was easier than it probably should have been...

Rofl, yeah. Title again explains it all. XD

I defeated Gannon. (Btw, why is it that he is in all the games? Geez! How the heck does he keep coming back to life? I keep killing him over and over, thrusting the Master Sword into him, and he keeps COMING BACK!) And Zant, actually. Lolz, he is the BEST BOSS EVER! Seriously! My sis was really disappointed because she saved after the boss so she can't ever do him again. Me, I was smart, so I didn't save after him. Made sure about that.

Haha, so I got through Snowpeak. Oh, you know how I was mentioning the sledding earlier? Well, after I beat Gannon, I had nothing to do, so I decided to catch up a bit on my sledding records again... and I beat him my FIRST TRY! Sheesh. Well, truthfully, that could be thanks to my sister's amazing discovery. She found that if you put on Iron Boots or Magic Armor (if you don't have rupees, lol, it gives you the same result as Iron Boots), you become heavier, and by some odd, bizarre way that makes you go faster.

Well, Snowpeak, Temple of Time (you remember me writing about that, right? LOLZ, it was so fun doing the same thing again! :D), and the Sky (I beat that within an hour! I'd memorized the way from last time, haha) were much too easy for me. So I got to the Twilight Realm again (and finally I didn't have to be so careful when saving anymore! You can't imagine how long it took me to save because I had to SLOWLY select the file and CAUTIOUSLY press the overwrite button, thinking carefully about which one I was saving it to), and I got my shiny sword! YES! That's like, my favorite part of the game! Hmm, I just realized something. What if you'd had the Ordon Sword out at that time? Lolz, would Link have taken out the Master Sword like he did on Ocarina? OH YEAH! That reminds me. I beat OoT too! Hmm, I'd better make a separate post of that.

Oookay... so I had lots of fun pwning Gannon. And wow, when I was in Hyrule Castle (creepiest level because of those scary zombie-like ghost guys that are in the halls that you see with your senses - I'd never really bothered looking at their faces before, but when I finally did, I was so freaked out, I jumped! XD) I actually found a treasure chest, hoping it was another Piece of Heart that I could add to my amazing collection, but instead, I found A SILVER RUPEE! I think I literally gasped out loud. 200 RUPEES! Lolz, my wallet was full though, so I couldn't hold it. XD But still, wow! I'd seen them a couple of times on Wind Waker, actually, but I have never seen them in any other game! EVER! I thought that they wouldn't be on other games. I mean, Wind Waker has HUGE wallets availiable, with like holding over 100,000 rupees at a time or something, so they have the capacity to carry something like this... but averagely on TP, the wallets are 600 rupees. WOW! I was so surprised.

Rofl, another funny thing. After I defeated Gannon's Puppet (isn't there a boss on Wind Waker with that same name? Oh wait, that's Puppet Gannon. Geez, can't these guys be more original? I mean, there was Armoghoma too, and the Water Temple boss in TP was named Morpheel, somewhat similar to Morpha in OoT...) and the weird pig form thing (where my sister and I had a dispute over whether pigs and boars were the same thing XD), I moved onto the Hyrule Field thing with Epona. And then, to my dismay, I pressed the minus button, and IT SKIPPED THE CUTSCENE! O: Noooo!!! That's one of my favorites out of the whole game! That, and the one after you beat the Water Temple. I mean, it's not that funny, but I once saw this "C is for Cookie" Zant thingy on YouTube and it starts with that cutscene, so when Zant is looming over Link he's saying "C IS FOR COOKIE" and it makes me laugh so hard to remember that... But yeah, so I missed beautiful Light Arrows and thinking Midna died and all that. Whatever though, I'll have to do it again sometime.

So that's the end! I've really got to work on my OoT description now... that one's even better...

Zelda TP Update - Geez, why did I never notice this game was so EASY!

Seriously, like the title says, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, though one of the best titles in the series and surely the one with best graphics and best storyline, is the EASIEST of them all.

I mean, really, I've already found the Mirror of Twilight again! And wow, I have nine hearts. Way too many for the amount of bosses I have beat, proving that Pieces of Heart are not difficult to find. I have beat the first level of the STAR game, too! HAHAHAHA! TAKE THAT, RIP OFF GUY! He hates wolves anyway. He's allergic, lol. That is the first thing I did when I got the Master Sword - transformed into a wolf and went in the STAR game tent to scare him. xD I really, really dont like that guy.

Soo, yeah. I completed Forest Temple, Death Mountain, Zora place, got Master Sword, did Arbiter's Grounds, and am now working on Snowpeak. Aww, that reminded me! Once Taryn, Rowan, Sydney, and I were all having so much fun on my previous file before I deleted it, and I was in Snowpeak, so I went sledding, and then we all went CRAZY trying to beat Yeto. I was the only one who actually got the record in the end. :) Sydney came really close, but fell off the edge at the end. Lol, that was the same day of my Coven of kitties, Freak Cat, and the Hidden Village.

Haha, anyway, Snowpeak is one of my favorite levels. I can't wait! :D

Zelda TP Update - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY ME? WHY!

If you watch me on Central, you'll know that I changed my mood to sad. And after reading this, you will know precisely why.

It started on a normal weekend day. I was having fun on Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I had been working hard on this file ever since November of last year, since I bought it. My sister had already beat the game, sadly, even though I paid for this game. Still, I was determined to defeat Gannondorf - eventually!

So I finally beat the dragon in the Sky, where the Occoco's live, and found the final piece of the Mirror of Twilight! Excited, I hurried back down to Lake Hylia and warped to the Mirror Chamber. After an amazing cutscene where you discover Midna (OMG! I'd been spelling her name wrong! More later, lol) is actually the Twilight Princess and how she got changed by Zant into her current form. Impatient, I pounded on the A button, wanting to see the cutscene but eager to get the Mirror of Twilight working again.

Finally, the sages finished talking (Did you ever notice they have the same symbols as the ones in OoT? If so, Ruto died! O:) and I rushed into the Twilight Realm.

I had some fun in there, throwing my Ball and Chain at the oblivious Twili people, despite how Midna continuously told me "They aren't our enemies! Don't attack them!" XD So finally I got bored and ran into the Temple. I got the first Sol (it powers the Twilight Realm apparently) and avoided that creepy red hand that tried to take it from me and placed it in its designated spot.

Then I saved, because I didn't want to do it over again, and I wanted to mess up my other file.

This is the third file, one we'd never played on. It's name was the default "Link", so we were planning on glitching it up.

We tried this glitch (We actually filmed it on my cell phone! I should show you guys sometime) that lets us keep the wooden sword. But apparently, you had to have a Slingshot, which we didn't, lol.

So I went back to attempt to get the Slingshot - and that's where everything went wrong.

I went through all the steps (caught that STUPID fish, ugh. And helped get that darn baby back for that lady. And all that boring stuff) and gained enough rupees to obtain the Slingshot, FINALLY!

Excited but not wanting to lose my progress, I pressed save - and ruined EVERYTHING I'd worked for.

Now seriously, why does TP have to be different? Wind Waker and OoT and PH all save it automatically to the file YOU'RE WORKING ON. You dont have to select from a list. Now I understand WHY they did that.

Unfortunately, I have to go now! XD I'll post more later, don't worry. Lol, you can probably guess what's going to happen, anyway.


EDIT: Okay, now I can continue! :D

Where was I...

Oh yeah! Well, okay, so I had been playing on my original file A LOT, right? So, when I went to save good ol' Link, I SAVED IT TO FILE ONE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... and I could go on and on. But I'm not going to. *Sniff* I never got to use my Double Clawshot! I was sooo going to rub it in that annoying STAR game guys face! I hate him so much, he thinks he's sooooo cool! I was totally going to own his game when I beat the Sky place! But I forgot and went in the Twilight Realm, and so I never did... :( And I was planning on filming my Zant battle and putting it on YouTube! Ugh...

:(

Zelda manga!

If you read my profile, you would know that some of my favorite books are Zelda manga by Akira Himekawa. Well, just this Saturday I got the newest one, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords part 1. I totally was expecting ot enjoy reading it, and possibly have a few laughs (They're quite humorous), but it was more than that: it was hilarious! My sister and I fought over who would read it (I won... I bought the book with MY money, not her!). Red Link is so hilarious! I got Sydney to read it today. She usually isn't into Zelda all that much (she prefers Pokemon and Wizard101) but she loved it, too! And she agreed: Red Link is the cutest. I used to think I would like the blue Link, because that's my favorite color, but after seeing his personality, um, I don't think so! Lol, I like Red Link a LOT. Crazy about these mangas. Come on people, READ THEM! They are AWESOME! I own everyone single solitary one of them that are out yet. Can't wait for October to read part 2 of the Four Swords! Then comes the Minish Cap, and then a Link to the Past... I hope that's not the last one, but in the way that the list at the back of my book looks, it might be. :(

EVERYONE can post now! :D

I tweaked my settings a bit so now even annonymous (I probably spelled that wrong O. O) users can post comments on my things. Please, if you view this blog, post a little comment for me here. So, megawizard, you can post whatever surely useless comments you had in mind xD.

Ummm.... where was I?

Okay, this was SUPPOSED to be a continuation of the Ocarina of Time update, but, um, Idk where I was.... let's see.... um...

Okay, I know I didn't mention cupcake yet, did I? Cupcake is the Ice Twinrova, Kotake. It started when I commented, "Kotake? That sounds like Hot Cake!" And Rowan came up with the cupcake. Lolz, that was fun.

Um, and attack from the treasure chest. You know, I'd love to tell you that EPIC story, but I feel like going on Wizard101Central at the moment, sorry.

You guys were so nice on my post "Does no one like me?" You commented on there, but completely ignored my other entries. O. o Aww well, who cares anyway. I have fun writing about my crazy Zelda adventures anyway.

Gotta love Action Replay... xD

HUGE thanks to Seth GoldenBlood for this! First he introduces me to Wizard101, and now lets me hack my Pearl game... thank you, Seth! I really owe you.

Okay, so guess what???????? I hacked my Pearl game! I now officially have every single legendary pokemon except for Uxie, Mespirit, Giratina, and Creselia. I made a TON of videos of it on my cell phone, too, but two of them show Seth in it (and I was screaming something about not likeing Arceus anymore a lot, too) and the others we are yelling in. Lol, I will probably post them on my YouTube account though (TwilightWakerofTime, which is a combination of all Zelda games I own except Phantom Hourglass) and get rid of the audio to put in some random music or something. Lol, I think I still have Walking on Sunshine and Since you been gone from when I was trying to get it on my Ipod, so I'll probably switch it out with that.

Lol, I also have unlimited Master Balls. I didn't know that would happen, I thought that they would disappear as soon as I took out the Action Replay (as my poor little shiny pokemon did :( ), but all 377 Master Balls remained. And now, even when I throw one, it doesn't go away!

I used only two codes: the Pokemon Modifier code and the All Shinies code. I just HAD to see my sweet little Umbreon, named Chris (or as I call him, Chrisy <3 ) as a shiny! He didn't stay that way :(

Also, lol, I somehow got nine Arceus. And never once did I use the code to try and get one. They came up at completely random times, at no apparent interval. The first time was when I was trying to catch a Jirachi. When I heard Arceus's special music and he came up, I was like "That doesn't look like a Jirachi!" Rofl, when I was looking for a Charmander he came up again, and Seth screamed, "Oh yeah, it is a Charmander! Only bigger!" Lol, I got that one on tape.

Yeah, that was fun. But I'd better finish talking about Twilight Princess and OoT now, or I will forget and never get around to it.

OoT Update! - Spirit Temple DONE!

OMG OMG OMG I was sooooo happy last night! I FINALLY finished that impossible Spirit Temple! I got the Mirror Shield and the Silver Gauntlets. YES YES YES! And I met Zelda, finallly, too! And now I'm supposed to fight Gannon, which is kinda scary, so yeah... but still, yay! I will be able to claim that I truly am the Hero of Time and beat the Ocarina of Time game! YAYAYAYAYAY! Lol, you should have heard me when I found Zelda and she was giving me light arrows. I litterally was sitting in front of the screen bouncing up and down and screaming "Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!" Lol, I had soooo much fun, and I gtg now, but I will tell you all the fun we had last night later, including a surprise attack from a TREASURE CHEST (that was unexpected O.o) and our new nickname for the Ice Twinrova (which is odd, because she's ice, and I'm an ice wizard...), Cup Cake, and how she got it.

Does no one like me..? :(

I have so many people who are commenting on my other blog! Why doesn't anyone say anything on here?

TP Update - Illia's Memory

Because I was banned from the computer yesterday, I got on my Wii to catch up on Twilight Princess. I finally went out of the Southern Gate like the cat whose name I forgot (lol) told me to. Luckily, it was already night, so I just managed to walk out and destroy them. (Good thing... I did not want to waste time like I did last time. Hmm, I should make a post about that!) They were these skeletal dogs, all creepy looking. But 0ne shot from Minda's special attack completely crushed them, and they subsequently dropped a wooden statue. Apparently, it was Illia's. I took it to Illia in Karikaro, hopeful she would get her memory back finally. Alas, it was not yet the time. But she told me that she remembered something about someone who had set her free from a secret place. I wouldn't have understood any of it had it not been that my sister had already beat the game and told her stories about the "Hidden Village."

Because I didn't want to warp, I decided to take the chance and enjoy the scenery for once by riding Epona there. Sadly, when I was traveling to the location that I was supposed to meet some helpful Goron at, I found a roadblock. The middle part of the Bridge of Eldin was still missing. I thought of everything I could to try and get across. Epona simply refused to ride across or jump, so I looked across and to my surprise saw Shadow Beasts! I knew that defeating Shadow Beasts meant you got a new warp point. So I shot them with arrows a few time before realizing it wasn't working. No matter how hard I shot them, they lived.

So, sighing, I traversed back to Hyrule Castle Town and tried going around the other way to the bridge. I actually passed by the area I was supposed to go, but I didn't see anything there, so I walked past it to the Bridge of Eldin again. I easily defeated the Shadow Beasts (there were only three, effortlessly destroyed by Minda's attack) and gained the new warp point.

Now, being a Brawl fan, I had played on the Bridge of Eldin stage. I knew that on the stage, when Bulbin blew it up, a warp thing appeared above it and replaced the middle. So it was somewhere around Hyrule.

Actually, I figured out how to do it on Rowan's file, "Seth"... She had defeated Gannon and beat the game, so there was nothing left to do. Apparently, you could get Fairy Tears in the Guerdo Desert somewhere. So she traveled there, to see some giant thing sticking out of the ground in the distance. After a little hookshotting (and finding a new golden bug! Yay!) she saw that it HAD to be the missing piece of the Bridge of Eldin! Overjoyed, she warped there, and I knew where to find my bridge.

So with that done, I headed back to the spot I missed. Before going in a cave to the side which I assumed was my destination, I found a Spinner rail and got on it to a circular patch of grass. If Rowan hadn't been there, I would have left it. But she was, and she dug into it to reveal a hidden room. I defeated the Re-deads (which gave me nightmares, once!) and got a Piece of Heart! Yippee!


I'll write more later, but I'll leave it there. I wanted to write some more of my story, and it is getting late.

Temple of Time - The same as OoT???

Well, if you read my post below, you will know that I recently completed the Temple of Time of Twilight Princess. I just realized - we're going back in time to the Temple, aren't we? So that means that it is far in the past. But I realized that this must be THE Temple of Time, the same one from Ocarina of Time - you know, where the Master Sword is? It even has the same music! Believe me, I'd know - I spent four minutes (I made a video of it to prove it! ROFL!) trying to figure out the Song of Time on the ocarina and the entire time I had to listen to that annoying song! It is soooo catchy, and I had that (and Saria's song, and Epona's song) stuck in my head the whole next day! Why do Zelda songs have to be so catchy?!?

As I was saying, we went into the Temple of Time on Twilight Princess. To go inside the actual dungeon part of the Temple (which obviously can't be accessed in Ocarina) you had to put your Master Sword back in the pedastal for a few seconds so that the shiny blue stairs appear and you can follow Ooccoo up it! So, after the Temple Rowan and I started joking with each other. Then I first realized it - how far back in time are we going? If this is the exact same temple as in OoT, then could the other Link still be trying to defeat Gannon? I noticed that the Master Sword wasn't in the pedastal when I had come in. Could that be because the Ocarina of Time Link was currently using it? ROFL! That would be so cool!

So then Rowan and I began talking about it. What if Ocarina of Time Link came in at the same time? What if we were a wolf? Or had just defeat the boss?

Then, it was even more hilarious. We returned to TP time, and then Rowan mentioned something about the Kokiri Forest. When I asked her, she explained that the area outside the Temple of Time was the Lost Woods! OMG! How did I NOT notice that?!? I started laughing as I said when we went to the ruins (which I am assuming is where you would always meet Saria as a little kid) "This is my house!" Then the I walked over to a pair of skulls around us and said "And this is Mido and that ugly kid outside Saria's house!" Then, in a total LOL moment, I accidentally shook the Nunchuck, which caused Link to do a spin attack and destroy to skulls. "Oops," I said. Rowan grinned and replied, "You double killed him!" We had soooo much fun.

And then, attempting to get out of the Lost Woods, I realized what Rowan said must be true. These HAD to be the Lost Woods. I continuously went in circles over and over. UGH! I hated the Lost Woods on Ocarina - it was SUCH a pain to repeat it! So, eventually I just turned it off. Luckily, the next day I was at the enterance again, so I just walked out backwards and easily escaped the woods of horrors. Good thing, too. I would have been stuck in there for hours!

Oh, and I forgot to say this. Another reason I speculate these things is that the boss in the Temple of Time was a giant spider that was on the roof. I totally had deja vu and exclaimed "It looks like Ghoma!" Then we both laughed as it dropped down from the ceiling and the familiar words announced its ;species', as I call it, and name: "Twilit Arachnid: Armoghoma". It's just like Ghoma with "Armo" before it! I was right! Hah!

The next day Sydney, Rowan, another girl that recently moved in near us, and I made up HILARIOUS stories all about this. Such as "What if the pedastal was broken? Saria or one of the other sages would have to put up a 'Out of order' sign" and so many other crazy things. Heh, this is the best discovery ever! Too bad there's going to be no one reading it that will actually understand what I mean, lol.

TP Update - Temple of Time/My poor, broken Dominian Rod

Okay, everyone! So, I haven't been using this blog much. You've most likely noticed. If you've been watching, that is, lol. Anyway, from now on I will give updates at the parts I'm at on my Zelda games! Yay! I know, you're all so excited. The first one is on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Well, just the other day I finished the Temple of Time level in Twilight Princess to obtain another shard of the Mirror of Twilight. And it was hysterical! Actually, the only reason I've been playing this recently is because on Wizard101 I have to defeat impossibly difficult spiders that are ice and in Dragonspyre! So, to get away from the spiders, I caught up on my file of TP (because I've actually never beat it, even though I paid for three quarters of it! Only Rowan has, and she didn't show me all the cutscenes. :( ) Anyway, when I got into the Temple, I first realized that I could spin my sword after every lizard-thing I defeat! So, I vowed to Rowan that I would do that after every monster (LOL!). So, I had plenty of fun with that, until we encountered a glitch! One of the lizard things kept running into this weird, invisible wall! Then Rowan took control of it so I could film it on my phone. She turned into a wolf to play with him, then he jumped out of the invisible wall and attacked her! She ruined it!

Then I went into the middle of that same room with the glitch, and I was stunned. There were hundreds of MINI SPIDERS. And to think that I had gone on TP to get AWAY from them! UGH! I killed them as revenge for their cousins on Wizard101 that I simply could not beat.

But the boss was worse: IT WAS A GIANT SPIDER, WITH A CREEPY RED EYE ON IT'S BACK! I was terrified! But I PWNED it. After a hilarious cutscene, that is. Link spun his sword, but then had this so funny look on his face, and then the EYE was still there! Rowan and I laughed at that.

When I exited the temple (going back to my own time) Occoco (or whatever) told me I'd used up all the Dominian Rod's ( the item for this stage) power. And when I tried it, it was totally broken! WAHHH! And worse, Rowan couldn't remember how to fix it! So, I'm stuck there. Right now I just followed the scent of a statue. It led to the cat of Telma, the bar lady person, and he/she said that there were some dogs or something that had stolen it. Then I had to get off.

ROFL, read my other post I'm going to put up in a second.

Best Pokemon Platinum Glitch EVER!

Though Legend of Zelda are my favorite games ever, I also like so many other things. Pokemon is one of them. I have Pokemon Pearl for DS, but my sister has Pokemon Platinum. My sis is sooo lucky... she competed in these Pokemon championships. Sure, she lost, but at least she was there.

Anyway, this is hilarious. When my sister first started the game, she caught a level 3 Starly, as most do, and named it Starz. But unlike most people, she left it in the PC and never used it. For no apparent reason, she decided to check on it yesterday.

She looked, and gasped. This Starly wasn't a worthless level 3 anymore... it was level 30!

She checked to see if there was any error with the typing or something. When she looked at it, it said "Met at Level 3". And, better yet, it knew Aerial Ace! She hadn't taught it that!

And the glitch continued. Today she just looked, and it is still level 30. Awesome! I'm calling this.... The Mysterious Leveling Glitch.
