marsy: Wii U and Wind Waker

As mentioned by lorekai last week, I am the proud new owner of a Wii U. Responsible use of finances, woo! While waiting for Hyrule Warriors to come out (I should mention that I’m really excited for that game. Really excited), I’ve been playing Wind Waker. I never got far in this game previously on the GameCube because sneaking and marsy are not things that work well together. But I did it. Go me! Love how expressive Link is in this game. Spent longer than I should have catching pigs. Enjoy taking selfies during boss fights. lorekai and I shouldn’t be allowed to come up with theories about games, because they are always really strange. Tingle is still too creepy to exist. Sailing is not much fun. Good game.

Anyway, looking forward to Hyrule Warriors and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call this week. That is all.

marsy: My Legend of Zelda problem

Hi, I’m marsy and I’m a Zeldaholic. My problem started many years ago, with a lovely little game called Ocarina of Time. Now, when I first started playing, I had to get wildfillysama to play through all the difficult/scary bits (Dodongo’s Cavern was not a happy place for me), but since then I’ve played by myself a few times. Just a few. I haven’t lost count. Not even a little. And I totally haven’t played through all versions for different consoles several times. Who would do that? Not me. I will admit that I was able to tell my little brother exactly what bit he was stuck on based entirely on the sounds I heard while doing something else. I am both proud and deeply ashamed. Ocarina of Time will always be my favourite game and if you haven’t played it then go do that now.

While I haven’t played all of the Zelda games (the moon in Majora’s Mask still terrifies me and I just can’t bring myself to play more because I freak out whenever I look around and see that THE MOON IS GETTING CLOSER! RUN AWAY! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!), I have certainly played enough. Not that I will ever have had enough. There is also quite a build up of Zelda themed stuff in my life, including (and probably not limited to) 4 posters, 6 figurines, 1 posable figma Link that wildfillysama and lorekai got me for Christmas, my replica ocarina of time, a shirt, triforce earrings, a copy of the Hyrule Historia, and my limited edition Legend of Zelda 3DS XL. I mustn’t forget the spiritual stone necklace and heart container charm I have coming in the post. Also all the games that I have. So many games.

So I have a bit of an obsession. It’s not hurting anyone (only my dignity and finances) and it keeps me out of trouble.

Now I will add the song of storms, and hope that it chases all the hot weather away.
