I GUESS this is my TP post.

Really, though, I have a LOT better news than my Twilight Princess completion in three days thing. I barely remember it anymore. But just last night, I did something awesome:

I COMPLETED MINISH CAP!

Yaaaaayyyy! :D

But let's see here: I just have ONE story to tell about the TP run, okay? And also, a schedual that I came up with forever ago. It's mostly for MY future reference, since you people probably don't care about it (if you care about any of my stuff, lol - but I hope I'm somewhat entertaining, considering that I now have FIFTEEN FOLLOWERS! Thank you!).

So, here... I wrote this down based on the "Wii Play Data" that gives exact times on how long I spent on TP and OoT over the three days, as well as exact dates. Yeah.

It started on Wednesday, 12/22, playing OoT for 7 hours, 4 minutes.

Thursday, 12/23, played OoT for, *sigh*, 17 hours, 6 minutes. (DANG WATER TEMPLE!)

Friday, 12/24, played OoT for 5 hours, 47 minutes. Completed it. Yayz!

Saturday, 12/25 - BREAK DAY! I didn't do anything on my Wii that day! lol.

Sunday, 12/26, played TP for 2 hours, 17 minutes. (and My Pokemon Ranch for one minute :P)

Monday, 12/27, played TP for 6 hours and 32 minutes. But the total Wii play time is 7 hours and 1 minute, because I was watching Nintendo Channel for a while. You know that Majora's Mask isn't on there, but LoZ, AoL, OoT, TP, ST, and PH are? What happened to MM?! O:

Tuesday, 12/28. Oh, geez... *gets out calculator* Okay, so if I subtract the 27 min. of OoT and the 25 min. of MM, then add up the, like, ten times I turned on and off the Wii for TP, I get... 4 hours, 48 minutes? Maybe? >.<

Wednesday, 12/29, played TP for 3 hours, 13 minutes. KIND OF completed TP... read below for more info. XD

Thursday, 12/30. All around Wii day. Played TP for some time over an hour (not checking again), then Sydney came over. She brought Dragon Quest Swords, then we played Brawl, then Nintendo Channel... yeah. Uh-huh. Why did I even post this part? O_o Probably just to prove I don't play ONLY Zelda games. XD

---

...So I said I "kind of" completed TP. Here's that story.

I finally reached Zant! Yay! Second-to-last boss in the game! Sweetness! However, I didn't save AFTER completing Zant. I do that on most of my Twilight Princess files, since I love him so much... as a boss! I mean, as a boss. Yes. XD So I was considering making this file the one-before-Zant file and finally saving on my first one after it beats Zant. The reason is that my first file has all the Heart Containers - except one. That one is what you get from defeating Zant. >.< Um... so I didn't save. That's all you really needed to know.

After Zant, I hurried back to Hyrule Castle. Just for the record, I skipped every cutscene I possibly could in the game. Yep. That means I literally had no storyline. If I'd been playing this for the first time... I would know NOTHING. I skipped the intro scene. I skipped children getting kidnapped. I skipped turning into a wolf. I skipped meeting Midna, meeting Zelda, saving the light spirits, fighting King Bulbin, saving Colin, creepy cutscene (really, the one after you save Lanayru is scary), finding Ilia, meeting Zant, Midna almost dying and Zelda saving her, meeting the sages, Blizzetta screaming "NOT TAKE MIRROR!" (which is sad, 'cuz I like that part), pwning Zant, meeting Ganondorf, pwning Ganondorf. Yep. :)

The oddest cutscenes I discovered I couldn't skip? ...Well, I only remember two, although there were a TON. But the strangest one was that you can't skip where Ilia gets her memory back. So I had to waste a full minute of my life just watching Ilia and Link stare at each other with stupid smiles on their faces and Epona neighing in the background. Seriously? O_o The second was the Master Sword cutscene. Yeah, that's why it's not listed above. I. COULDN'T. SKIP. IT. ...I can't believe I tried, either. XD So, they'll let you skip Zelda, but not the sword. Weird.

...I was talking about Zant, right?

I went in to Hyrule Castle. Gosh, I know that dungeon SO well. For instance, there's one part where you're supposed to turn into a wolf and use your senses to view these ghost guys that point in the direction to go across a path of blocks. If you run on the wrong block, it will fall. But I've done this so many times, I don't need to turn into a wolf. I just run on through on the exact path. As long as those invisible rats don't get me...

Then it's GANONDORF! O: I skipped everything before him, of course. XD Ganon's Puppet was easy (and fun! I had an obsession with the TP ending for a while, since I love it so much, and that's why I know Hyrule Castle so well), then on to Beast Ganon, then the horse-battle phase, and, finally, sword combat with the evil king!

That's where everything went wrong.

It's the final phase of Ganondorf. I was super excited, especially since it was so late - ten or something at night. Eventually, Link and Ganondorf lock swords, just like they're supposed to. Since I'd hit him a LOT (I have a pretty good strategy - if you're standing too close to him, he can't really hit you! :P) I figured this would be my last time pushing him to the ground. So I shifted the position of my fingers so I could use another finger besides my slow thumb to press the A button, which pushes him back. Then... I pressed a button...

...but it wasn't the A button... it was the POWER button on the controller...

So the Wii turned off.

And there you have it, folks! That's why I technically never completed TP in three... or four... days. Strangely, this didn't make me angry, like not saving normally does - no, I was struggling not to laugh at, like, 10 at night when everyone else was asleep in my house. But I found it so funny. So it's all right. You can laugh at my expense, at my epic fail. Go ahead.

NOW... MINISH CAP! I completed it last night, in some pizza restaurant. Really. It was good! ...The pizza, I mean. It was some kind of garlic chicken thing. XD No, but the ending of MC was good, too. But it caused the OoT ending song to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day - they play a section of it (at least, I'm pretty sure that's what that song was). I had headphones on, in case you were wondering how I could hear the music in a crowded restaurant. I'll have to go into detail later since, remember... this is my TP post! Plus, some fan fics just got updated... one of them is the last chapter... O:

Okay. Hope this entertains my wonderfulistical 15 followers. :)

...Ooh! A new word! DON'T STEAL!

MC Update - Gods. I fail at observation/map reading/solving puzzles. To an extent.

First off, Roy is a total, complete, OVERPOWERED CHARACTER IN SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE!!!! Plus, the game FAVORS HIM! I SWEAR! I would have won every round against my sister if it weren't for LUCK. When we turned off items, I continuously pwned her as Young Link... but WITH items... I failed. Epicly.

*sigh* Oh, and all our pictures on that game are corrupted. ...At least the whole game data isn't. :D And another Wind Waker file was lost. This one was in Tower of the Gods. And I had been working on it too. :( Now the only one left on that memory card is Noob's. ...It's named Linky and in the Forsaken Fortress. XD

So now it's like I haven't even completed one DUNGEON on Wind Waker. >.<

........

Anyway.... Sorry. That was my Super Smash Bros. Melee rant from earlier tonight, because Rowan kept pwning all the Zelda characters as Roy. It was frustrating me. At least I got my revenge when items were taken out of the equation.

On to the update now? XD

So. Minish Cap. Yeah. Where to begin? Well, probably wherever my last update left off, but I don't even remember where that is.

...
...
...


*looks up* XD

Oh! Power Bracelets! Riiiight.

Anyway, I DID end up asking Sydney, lolz. She's BETTER than a walkthrough, because she can just give me a HINT rather than complete answers. Apparently, there's ANOTHER entrance into Lake Hylia! O: So she led me to that (it was through Lon Lon Ranch) and I took it from there. After that... I met Librari. Who I decided I hated. That tends to happen with me - I meet a video game character and immediately decide whether they are under the title of "HATE," "LIKE," "ANNOYING," or "EPIC." Link is in two categories - like and epic. Zelda too. XD Oh, and Ashei from Twilight Princess. She's just awesome. And maybe Midna, too. MAYBE. But most of my partners are under the "hate" or "annoying" category, simply because you're around them so much that they get frustrating and tiring. Except Navi. She's sooooooo annoying within the first five minutes of the game that she's in a category all her own, BELOW hate. :P Did I ever mention how she told me to go to the Bottom of the Well when I was IN the dang Well? Yeah...

I get off topic too easily. Sheesh. Back to the main post... what was it? Librari. Well, he's "HATE" because he dumped me in a dungeon without letting me prepare! >.< I got flippers at the end though. Yayz.

Okay, okay, then I swam to dropletts temple. Within the first, like, five rooms, however... I found the boss key. And I knew EXACTLY where the boss room was.

So I was freaking out at this point, thinking I'd either cheated the game, done something wrong, or that there would be an extremely unexpected twist coming up. You do NOT have a Zelda dungeon that's five rooms long.

As it turns out, it wasn't any of the above. Not cheating, nothing wrong, and nothing sufficiently unexpected. Just that the second half of the dungeon was behind the boss room doors. :P

I fought the boss: a giant Octorok. It took me FOREVER to figure how to kill him... I thought you'd have to get behind him to whack him or something, but apparently you're supposed to hit the rocks back at him with your sword...

SO.

After that, I got the THIRD ELEMENT!!!! It was the WATER ELEMENT! :D So exciting.

Then I had to sneak into the castle to infuse the sword with the new element for my third clone. :P But, geez, those guards... their voices, when they screamed "HEY!" just scared me for some reason. Could be because I was alone at night with everyone else in the house asleep, just sitting on my bed playing the game with headphones on... XD

Then I went to find a king dude in a graveyard! It was fun!

Then I received a GOLDEN KINSTONE! O: He told me to take it to "source of all flow."

Now... here's when my epic fail comes in. Summarizing it, btw, because I gtg...

I was REALLY smart, and thought "source of all flow... WATERFALL!" I felt so proud of myself for figuring that out.

I went there, to Veil Falls... but had no clue what to do.

So I decided "Maybe I'm wrong..." So I randomly picked up the Minish Cap manga and read it. Guess what? At the part with the king, he oh-so-bluntly states, "Take this kinstone to Veil Falls."

I'm in Veil Falls.

*more convinced that I'm right...*

THEN I went to the smith dude's house. He tells me to go to Veil Falls, TOO!!!!

*TOTALLY convinced I'm right...*

...But no idea what to do.

I happened to go to Sydney's house, so I dejectedly and reluctantly asked her where to take the kinstone.

She tells me Veil Falls.

Okay, I was SOOOOOOOO RIGHT.

I ask her what to do there.

...She doesn't remember... >.<

FORTUNATELY, her BROTHER, Hunter, remembered! :D ...He showed me a DIFFERENT route into the waterfall that I COMPLETELY missed.

Thus the reason I can't read maps/observe things. To an extent. Because I totally PWNED THAT SOURCE OF FLOW THING! XD

That's all for tonight. I found the wall thingy I'm supposed to fuse the golden kinstone with, so I guess I'm on my way to the wind tribe and the final element. And my eleventh (or tenth... I forget) Zelda game completion. ;)

So goodnight. Again.

*STILL LOOKING FOR FANFIC IDEAS* :P

MC Update - I got Power Bracelets - ON MY OWN! So proud... :D

I can't make this post very long. Celestia awaits, after all. ;) Not to mention a fanfic I've been following recently got updated (I have to make another list of epic stories, since I've added more to my favorites since then. XD). But, bascically, here's a short summary of what I've done on Minish Cap since my last update...

Well, guess what? I found Power Bracelets (or whatever those things that make you stronger are)! AND WITHOUT A WALKTHROUGH/FRIEND! I mean, since I got Minish Cap, every time I got stuck I'd ask Sydney... so far, I haven't resorted to a walkthrough - at least, I don't THINK I did (can't really remember O_o). I know, know, know, KNOW that I got THIS overdue library book all on my own, though, this time! :D

I was stuck for a while, so I wasn't playing, but then I put out the fire in the fire place and went up the chimney as a Minish! :D Then I snuck past some kitties... and killed some enemies... and... yeah! Second overdue library book returned!

Now I'm trying to get the THIRD - and hopefully LAST - overdue library book. For what purpose, I'm still trying to figure out... Sydney just told me to. And, well, she's the MC expert! So I'll listen. -.-

It looks impossible, however. I mean, it's apparently in the mayor's private lake-side house place... but I can't get to it! I see SIGNS telling me it's there... but there's this LAKE in front of it! I can't swim without flippers! So where do I get FLIPPERS?!?

*sigh* Well, now that I know I can do this game on my own, I'm soooo not asking Sydney... well, maybe for a hint. But NOOOO WALKTHROUGHS. Absolutely NONE. ;)

Goodnight, people!

-Sierra WinterBreeze level FIFTY-THREE (wootness!) Thaumaturge

MC Update - OOH! OOH! IT'S THAT GOD DUDE FROM WIND WAKER!

I beat Mount Crenel! Yayz! :D

...Speaking of which, I STILL can't figure out what the heck that dungeon there was called. Something-mines, probably, just because there were mine carts all over the place. And those provided me no end of crazy pleasure. Hehe, I love riding in mine carts...

Hmm. Where to begin.

Let's see - the BIG BAD BOSS is always a good place to start (thought I'd forgotten about that catchphrase-type thingy of mine, hadn't you? :P)!

You know, I was kinda looking forward to the boss turning all cute in the end. ...Um, I know that just sounded really stupid right there. But, I mean, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MANGA! But the manga is CONFUSING ME!!! When I heard I was headed to the Fortress of Winds, I became so confused - the manga had Link getting the WATER Element first. That's probably why I was stuck for so long - I was trying sooooo hard to get into Lake Hylia that I totally ignored the other element symbol.

Oh, hey, speaking of which... why is the Earth Element purple? Can someone tell me what happened to the earth being GREEN? And why is the WIND the green one? -.-

...Back on topic...

Okay, I don't even know the Minish Cap bosses' names. Except for Giant ChuChu or whatever, but that's pretty obvious. :P Reason? I haven't bothered to look them up, that's why. Duh. In fact, the only reason I know Wind Waker boss names would be because I actually have the ambition to go off and search for it myself!

I mean, I know so much about Zelda that I can recognize references to other games' bosses when I see them.

Such as what I believe just might be a reference to Gohdan...

You don't know who Gohdan is? Oh, come ON! Okay, okay... he's that masked dude with two floating hands and floating head in the Tower of Gods of Wind Waker, not evil, but not good, obviously not because he attacks you and nearly killed me multiple times, mostly because I kept running out of arrows despite that fact that he replenished them, and then there's the glowing stuff around the outer edges of the room that HURT when you fall onto them, and, oh, then he doesn't explode at the end, lol, like other bosses, and he's the only one that doesn't appear in Ganon's Tower at the end...

...and...

..um...

He's the Tower of Gods dude in WW. There. I said it.

Okay... you know what? I've totally strayed from my original point here. First of all, I was talking about the boss of MOUNT CRENEL... not the Fortress of Winds. And the boss I think was a reference to WW is the Fortress of Winds boss.

The boss from Mount Crenel... was some sort of snake-rock thingy that spewed fire at me... Um... and I used the Cane of Pacci to defeat it.

Yeah.

But I still like the Gohdan boss. It included shrinking to a Minish and going inside things to break stuff. :D

Hmm... now I REALLY want to know what these bosses names are...

*an hour later, after looking it up on Zelda Wiki, somehow getting into the entry of Blizzeta from Twilight Princess, listening to Fyrus's theme and comparing it to Blizzeta's, then watching random Skyward Sword stuff for some reason on YouTube...*

Okay! I got it! The Gohdan style boss is named Mazaal. Interesting... XD

OH!! GUESS WHAT?!? I already knew the name of that second boss. I just forgot. ...Honestly! I knew it was Gleerok! I remember hearing that name somewhere! O_o

According to the listing, next is Big Octorok (how WONDERFUL) then the Gyorg Pair that I've seen and heard so much about. Then onto Vaati. Yay!

'Kay, that's it for tonight. Enjoy your weekend, everyone. :)

MC Update - A Minish-sized update...

I gotta make this quick... I always go to the Pokemon league on Saturday nights, and we're leaving in just about ten minutes... but I'll probably forget about this if I leave it for later.

You should all know that I got Minish Cap, right? Yeah. From traitor Tnaz. Oh, he's a traitor, because he lies and steals - he stole Pokemon cards from this poor girl at the league, and then he lied to me about that epic story of his. Remember? I was talking about that? Yeah, well, he didn't write it. It's called Error Code 35, btw, so go ahead and look it up on Fanfiction.net - it's actually on there, and that's how I found out about his lies. ...Although it was violent. It IS horror genre. Weird, I don't usually read stories like that, but I liked the suspense of this one... even if Link dies! IN THE FIRST CHAPTER! And then Pikachu's next. And Zelda and Toon Link after. All my fave chars... >.<

Well, time to make the first update of MC...

And it's quick, short, and all around... MINISH SIZED! xD

First off, I played through the first parts of the game, which I did earlier on the VBA thingy (that I'm pretty sure is illegal now, so I stopped using it O_o). I was so proud of myself for doing the ENTIRE FIRST DUNGEON WITHOUT A WALKTHROUGH! :D I got to the boss - and it was a giant ChuChu! Like, OMGNESS! That's so epic. ;)

So I beat that... then when I got to Mount Crenel was about the time I got stuck. I figured out to water the plants or something, but I kept dying on my way up. And you know what's the worst part? FAIRIES IN MINISH CAP ARE THE STUPIDEST CREATURES EVER. Look, I had only half a heart left, and you know what? I was soooooo lucky to come upon a Great Fairy Fountain! :D But when I went up to the fountain... nothing happened. No Great Fairy came up. So I went crazy and pressed random buttons, lolz. When I picked up some water in a bottle by accident, THEN she came up... and increased my bomb bag.

WITHOUT HEALING ME.

What the heck? >.<

Okay, that's all the time I've got. Right now I'm attempting to get the Pegasus Boots... I think. I have two elements, therefore ONE CLONE! :D Oh, right. Still need to FSA update...

Bye bye! Have a good weekend! :)

A Very Zelda Halloween

Halloween... is, like, the bestest holiday. Um, why? Let me ask YOU a question first. Why would anyone think it ISN'T the bestest holiday?!? You get to dress up as random stuffs, whether scary or epiclatastical or pretty or different or WHATEVER you want. All my life, I've been either a princess, fairy, or some kind of... animal... thing. Like a cat. ...Or a Maril. Yeah, I was a Pokemon for Halloween once. I didn't always used to be Zelda addict - Pokemon DID come first. Deal with it. XD

HOWEVER...

This Halloween is SPECIAL. :D

The reason? If you can remember last Halloween on this blog (which you probably can't XD) then you'll know what I just so happened to dress up as. Princess Zelda. No kidding. And Sydney was Link the leprachaun (my fault for calling her that, lolz. Warning to candy-givers at houses while some kids dressed in weird Hylian costumes come up to your house: don't ask who the person in green is, or you'll get a LOT of screaming and arguing and name-calling. :P). Oh, and no one cares, but... Hunter was a Wraith from Wizard101 last year. So awesomeful! ;) Rowan was a witch; Paige was also a witch; Taryn was... some kind of devil-witch. XD I called them the Twinrova, despite the fact there were three of them. :P Mostly I was refering to Rowan and Paige, anyway, since Taryn technically called herself a Skeleton Bride.

So... this year! Some changes in our lineup of costumes... *ahem*

Last year, Sydney's Link costume wasn't from any specific game. She just had the basics: green tunic, green hat, some kind of foamy-sword thingy that was really fun to play with. :P This year, however, she's decided. She will be... MINISH LINK! So she's buying an Ezlo hat. Yayz.

Hunter won't be from Wizard101 this year - he's joining the Zelda bandwagon. :D He will be... VAATI! Hylian form, of course. Not the giant eye. XD So he'll probably have the long black/purple cloak and the wishing cap thingy. Ooh. Playing with the wishing cap will be almost as much fun as playing with Sydney's foam sword!

Me? I was pretty much a general, all-around unspecific Zelda last Halloween. I based my costume MAINLY off Ocarina of Time, though, including the designs on the bottom of the dress. However, I carried around a bow, and OoT is, like, the ONLY game Zelda DOESN'T use the bow in. O_o (Not really, you know... but all the big important ones she does. Wind Waker. Twilight Princess. ...Spirit Tracks. ST is not as important, but whatever.) Now I just might be Minish Zelda. Just because everyone ELSE is being from Minish Cap, lol. I don't want to be all lonely from OoT. If I do end up changing to Minish Zelda, I'll just PRETEND I don't have Ocarina of Time designs on my dress, PRETEND my crown is Toon Zelda's, and... ditch the bow for a shield. And then I'll give it to Sydney at the end of the day. ...Or maybe not. I LIKE shields, tyvm. Sydney didn't use one LAST year! ...Let's just PRETEND that her shield got burned up in the fire mine place. :P

Now... Rowan. I don't think Taryn and Paige will be anything Zelda-related, but Rowan most certainly will. Ever since last year, she's really wanted to be Midna from Twilight Princess. But now she'll be the only one from TP if she does do that. So she's changing again. She might be... a forest Picori/Minish, which I vote for. It would be the most ADORABLE costume ever! Like... Minishes are sooooooo cute! Other than that, she might be Young Zelda. Which would ALSO be cute! For some reason, she wants to be "all clingy," as she calls it. XD She wants to hang off my arm and act timid and cute or something. Although I still like the Picori idea, this would be an AWESOME idea, and is the one most likely to happen. Our costumes would match GREAT together - me older Zelda, her younger. Plus it'll give me an excuse to be OoT while everyone else is MC (HAH! SHIELD IS MINE!).

And that's it. *sigh* I was planning on a Minish Cap or Four Swords Adventures update tonight, but that's okay. Remember - tomorrows a holiday. Labor day, is it? Or Columbus day? Something like that. On the other hand, the blog is FINALLY back to normal, complete with an epic background courtesy of Rowan WillowLeaf (but I was the one who had to do A TON of math and so on to get the size right to repeat across the background right - darn, you CANNOT believe how much work went into that. Days. Blogger is stupid and won't accept certain sized images, and therefore we were pretty stumped for a while. I SHOULDN'T have to do math on my weekend!). Oh, AND there's an awesome new header! I made that. You can't imagine how long it took to pick out the render. I kind of wanted the Skyward Sword one, just because, well, Skyward Sword is the main focus of this blog currently, and the entire Zelda-fanverse is waiting for it. But I almost made it a Wind Waker one, with this absolutely, unbelievably awesome render of Link and these cute little pigs! :D That, or one of OoT Link playing the ocarina. SO MANY CHOICES!

Anyway. Happy Monday holiday (whatever it is), readers! As always, comment, and remember to read The Blade of Evil's Bane prologue below if you haven't already! :D

Good, bad, and useless news.

Which do ya want first: Good, bad, or pointless/useless/no-one-cares-about news?

I'll start with the... bad.

The bad news is: THERE IS NO BAD NEWS! *gasp* I wrote a post about bad news, and there isn't any! Oh, what will I do? The struggle to find something to type is killing me!

Well, bad news COULD be that I STILL won't have much time for blog posting. I haven't even been on Central lately. Or Wizard101. Or, I'm ashamed to admit, Zelda games. I've... been reading fan fiction. Yeah. Or playing Min- um, nvm. We'll get to that in the GOOD NEWS section. :D Oh, and there's still no official release date for Skyward Sword. Trust me. I'd know.

Useless news:

HUNTER THUNDERSHIELD NAMES ALL HIS ZELDA FILES DOUGH FOR SOME REASON. And then I played through Twilight Princess ('cuz all my friends fail at the Forest Temple - seriously, that was, like, the fifteenth time I've had a friend ask me to beat the temple for them! I now know it like the back of my hand - that sadly lacks a Triforce, just because you all wanted to know XD), and the light spirit called him "Heroic Dough." O_o

Good news... and luckily, in video games, there's a LOT of it right now:

I HAD MY BIRTHDAY! :D It was the sixteenth of September. Sorry, can't tell you how old I am. Who knows what freaks are reading this... *thinks of Navi and shudders* XD

Okay, okay. But you're wondering why the heck this is in a Zelda blog.

Well... my ACTUAL birthday wasn't that great. Sure, I got ice cream cake. But I did work all day. But... I got a Zelda t-shirt! It says, "Don't make me go Zelda on you!" :D

But then, my birthday PARTY was epiclatastical. All my bestest friends were there: Sydney, um... Noob? Is that what I call him now? He doesn't have a wizard. And a girl from school who neither has any Zelda games nor plays Wizard101 came. And another friend of mine who I can call either Wolf or Tnaz was there. He's the newest member of our Zelda/Pokemon/Wizard101 fan club. Members: Me, Rowan, Sydney, Hunter, Deku/Noob/WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL HIM, and now Tnaz. His Wizard101 character is Wolf DeathBringer. So, anyway, he is my bestest friend/enemy. Frenemy? Is that what it's called? O.o

Okay. So. I, um, kinda took up most of our four hours playing Wind Waker. O_o But, look, in all the FIVE YEARS I've had it, I've NEVER gotten to play it on the large TV in our living room! I was able to that day, and it was so epiclatastical! I wish now that I'd had a chance to try out TP on it, too. Ah, well.

Anyway, I tried playing Wind Waker. I was going to the final boss. Sydney and I switched off a lot. I mean, we wanted to see the ending with all the super epic cutscenes. However... my cutscene file got CORRUPTED, remember? >.<>.<

So, it's like, RIGHT THERE... and I can't play it. And he KNEW I couldn't play it.

Oh, my gosh, did I mention how much I hate him?

Sydney's so awesome - she let me borrow her DS Lite for a few weeks! SO I GOT TO PLAY IT! Two elements down... and no clue how to get the Water element. Sydney's no help either, dangit. O_o

Okay, and my OTHER good news.

I PREORDERED SKYWARD SWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Yep. Just today. Me is excited. ;)

Oh, and LAST good news:

I GOT DRAGON QUEST! Nine, I think? Idk. It's Sentinels of the Starry Skies. ...'Kay, I know this is a Zelda blog, but whatever. I named my character Zelda. Does that count? XD I fully intend to make a character called Link when I get the chance. And then maybe one called Sierra. I just didn't make my main character Link 'cuz as much as I love playing as him in LoZ, I really would prefer a girl character. O_o

...Okay, I've been typing away for a half hour. This post is LONG. If you read all of this, YOU'RE THE MOST DEDICATED AND AWESOMEFULISTICALAZING READER EVER. Congratulations. Please comment, awesomefulisticalazing reader. :D

And goodnight!

LA Update - Roc's Feather? Well, I'd prefer a cape, but...

When I saw Sydney JadeHammer, one of my best friends and fellow Zelda/Poke fans, yesterday, I could not help but tell her about my adventures in Link's Awakening. I went into excrutiating detail (okay, perhaps not) how I geniusly figured out how to get the Magic Powder (sure, it took nearly an HOUR, but...) and saved Tarin. Then I told her about the first dungeon, and, of course, my first item (which I failed at getting the first time). What's the first items? It's called Roc's Feather, and it lets you JUMP (on top of Goombas, too :P)!

When I got to this point, Sydney, who is an enormous Minish Cap fan (she adores Minish Link for some reason, and I don't even have the game, though she does xD), said, "Oh, Roc's Cape?"

Me: "Uh, no. FEATHER, Sydney. Get it right! Roc's FEATHER."

"On Minish Cap, there's Roc's Cape. I'm guessing it's the same thing. Roc's Feather lets you fly, right?"

"Wait... FLY?"

She told me about this awesome Minish Cap item that apparently lets you fly. All I got is this stupid feather that lets you jump just a LITTLE. O.o

Anyway.

I'm downloading an Oracle game now! Yeah, I know. I haven't beat Link's Awakening yet, but... I can't help it. :P I don't know which one, though. I want Seasons first to see how alike the manga is when you play Seasons then Ages, but I'd also like to see the differences when you play Ages then Seasons... if that made sense. I'm even confusing myself. -.-

I'll probably get Ages, though. Rowan wants Ages. And I want to see if Raven is actually in there.


OOH! Btw, about the update, I beat the first boss. Here's a picture of him. :P



He was HARD to beat. It gave me MAJOR deja vu to the third boss of LttP... what's his name again? Oh well. They're almost IDENTICAL! It was kind of depressing, since I hated that boss. And I hated this one. Took me FOREVER to keep from falling off the sides of the room. -.-

Now I'm in the second dungeon (after becoming an assassin! That part was TOTALLY my favorite!), and I just got the Power Bracelets. I'm missing the nightmare key... so I'm not sure what to do...

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....

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!
