In a Zelda Kind of Mood

Maybe it's because we're suppose to be getting a new Legend of Zelda for the Wii by the end of the year (although I would be shocked if that happened) or maybe I've just been playing Spirit Tracks on my DS nonstop, but I have been in Zelda mood lately.

What is it about that little green clad boy that I love? I guess it's because I grew up with Link. From playing the original Zelda in my childhood to beating Ocarina of Time when I was pregnant with my son. To staying up late after the baby went to bed to play Majora's Mask to playing Wind Waker with my pre-schooler on my lap, I've been addicted to all thing Zelda since the beginning. When I get in a Zelda mood, it lingers for awhile.

So to celebrate all things Zelda, I am working on two Zelda related articles.

Before they're done, you can read my "Why the Legend of Zelda is the Greatest Game" article. I wrote this in honor of Game Informer magazine giving the original 8-bit masterpiece the title of best game of all time.

My favorite line in Game Informer's paragraph about Zelda goes something like this: How many life long gamers did Shigeru Miyamoto create with Zelda?
While nobody can give an exact number, I proudly count myself among the millions.

  1. I am sure you will defriend me for this but I have never played Zelda before! It seems like I am missing out though! I like the sound of a new one coming out on the Wii though, I may have give it a try!

  2. LOL i won't defriend you! You can give Twilight Princess a try. It's the first Zelda game for the Wii. :) Or you could download some of the older one from the Wii store.

  3. Woot! I beat Karen because I've played it once before (I think) on Nintendo 64 (I think). I remember being stuck in a cave or something. Haha, but it did have a great story and looked really cool. Maybe now that I'm older and more coordinated I'll revisit. :)
