Definitely my favorite version of pig Ganon - not in terms of gameplay, just in appearance and atmosphere. You couldn't get more bad-ass than that. Still can't.

I'd like to see Dark Link re-imagined in some way in the next Zelda game.

Boo, do you remember about seven years ago when we had an argument about Z-Targeting?

We? You and I...argued?

Yes, I remember it. As I recall, my main talking point was something like, 'eh, Z-targeting castrates challenge', and then you were all 'ehh, Z-targeting allows you to constantly face the enemy, promoting realism', to which I replied 'ehhh, realism can eat me so hard!', and you said 'ehhhhhhhh, so can your mother', and then things got stupid(er). It was a real blueprint for our current co-moderatorial relationship.

Yeah.

I think Z-Targeting is still just the simplest solution to what was, at the time, an otherwise insurmountable problem: how to hit airborne enemies with projectile weapons. While not being killed, anyway. Things were simpler in Link to the Past.

But not in the first one.

Feh. 'How to hit airborne enemies with projectile weapons, while wearing a straitjacket', I'll assume you mean. Or perhaps 'while playing OoT with your feet'.

I like Z-Targeting. That's because I've never played a Zelda game without it.

SO ANYWAY. BACK ON TOPIC.

I remember it always made me sad re-visiting Kokiri Forest as an adult... since no one recognizes you.

Alright, am I seeing things, or is it supposed to look like Samus is fawning over Link like a Bond girl in that pic?

It looks like our boy Link is finally growing up.

I'm so proud.

Damn it, Link, be strong. That devil woman wants to weaken you and steal your man power for use in her wicked gynomancy. For crying out loud, think about baseball or something!

CL, don't you have a GBA? At least buy OoA, OoS, LA, LttP, and Zelda I or II--all of which can usually be found at a Gamestop, or at the very least, Ebay. All those games on the GBA or GBC, total, will run you about $30 dollars. That's it.

I totally will next time I'm near one. For now, my mom's kinda sick of going to Gamestop for me, since we went to three of them to get Wind Waker. ><

Soooo.

Back to OoT!! D:<

...The water temple can die. For my first... two playthroughs, I believe, I used a walkthrough for it. That and the shadow temple. Hell, I was a loserface.

Dood, I'm on the Water Temple in Master Quest. As anyone who's played Master Quest can tell you, oh my god. LIZALFOS GALORE.

And I'm such a jumpy person... I scream when ANYTHING jumps out at me. Even if I KNOW IT'S THERE.

So, I was in the Water Temple with my friend... I was being extra-careful, looking around corners before turning... I was walking. Nothing was there.

OMFGLIZALFOSATTACKOMFGOMFGOMFGAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

...

Yeah, that temple is awesome.

If only I could get past the room before Dark Link.

If you've got a Wii, LoZ, AoL and aLttP are on the VC.


I liked the Lizaflos. Don't know why though.

I like them, just not when they scare the pants off of you.

><

I am going to freaking DIE in the Shadow Temple. *shudder*

Eh, MQ wasn't so hard. Maybe it was because it was my first time going through OoT or something. Wait...

Lizardfos are awesome, but Dinofos are cooler.

Well, I think it's hard. Maybe that's just because I've memorized OoT's dungeons so much that a game using the same dungeons but completely different puzzles is more confusing than usual.

Anywho...

I remember when I was little I got the HELL scared out of me by the guillotines. Well, obviously ALL of the shadow temple creeped me out (ESPECIALLY DEAD HAND OMFG.), but the guillotines were the sole thing that used to scare me but no longer do. Everything else that once scared me... still does. ><

Even that creepy ghost ship thingie.

Those spiders hanging on the ceiling always got me. I'd forget about them and run along, when *WHAM*.

Oh, and that ferry thing was creepy too.
