Of course! I know I've said it a million times but Zelda is my favorite video game series. It's what turned me from "hey, this Nintendo is pretty neat" to "OMG Video Games!!" It's the first game I ever played where you could just walk around and explore. That sense of exploration (and the fact you could easily save without a long code) really made me feel like I was in Hyrule. It was more then just go from A to B, kill this, do that....repeat.
Zelda is a series that has a lot of great memories for me. I remember as a kid, being so proud that I could beat the original in one sitting without dying. I remember getting into my parents' car and seeing that shiny gold box under a white Toys "R" Us bag. I knew exactly what it was. As I got older, I never stopped loving the series. Moments in my life are intertwined with the games from playing Ocarina while pregnant to having my son tell me to "stop hogging the Wii" when Twilight Princess was released. I'm always playing something Zelda. Whether it be a downloaded game on my Wii or one of the newer DS titles, I always have a Zelda game going somewhere. This year, we will get Skyward Sword, the newest Zelda Wii game. I can not wait!
Not only do I love the series, but I'm eternally grateful to its creator, Shigeru Miyamoto. When ever I see him on TV or in a gaming magazine, I squee like crazy fangirl. I just want to hug him and say Thank You.
I have written many Zelda themed articles. These are just a few.

Now this is a game I can relate to. I played the original and have recently downloaded it again on the Wii. For me, this is what video games are all about. Visiting from the Ato Z Challenge at http://tlmoviemuse.blogspot.com/2010/10/fresh-start.html

Zelda was fun, I played it on the SNES. It was fun at least until I got horribly stuck! Good memories.
ReplyDeleteI've never played Zelda but I would enjoy hearing you squee like crazy fangirl.
