The Legend of Zelda

Originally written at 6:58 PM on Friday, August 15, 2014

I've never really played any Zelda games; wasn't far too interested, though Zelda was great in Super Smash Bros. on the 64, and didn't own the games. Now, when I emphasized "really", it was more of a "truly". I've played Zelda before. Once. I was eight years old, had a brand new, green Gameboy Advanced SP--it came with Donkey Kong Country (unfortunately, I eventually sold the game)--and was the red-clad Link in multiplayer mode. That means I was number two. A chick friend of mine, the daughter of a friend/then roommate of my mom, had an SP and a Zelda game. We did that old school plug-your-system-into-my-system thing that, really, only children of the 90's will remember doing (and those adults that were pretty seriously into gaming). She had Zelda in her Gameboy and I don't know what I had, but I'm guessing she went into Demo Mode (which is the not-so-wireless version of DS Download Play), because I didn't have a Zelda game. We were in a room that I can only describe as looking like your secret room in the underground tunnels in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl if I want to give a clear picture. There may have been clay pots, there might not have been--I don't know. I'm talking about something that happened 10 years ago. Well, now I'm 18 and have a 6-7 month old iPhone 5s. And on there I have two Zelda games. I have the Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past--Four Swords (get it? LOL...) and the Legend of Zelda: the Minish Cup. They were the only ones available for download and I decided to get them to see what the hype was all about (that's also how I got into Inuyasha). It seemed like everyone was playing/liked Zelda. My boyfriend, my exboyfriend, possibly my other exboyfriend, my friends, my friends' friends, a bunch of other random people... So, yes, I'm going to play those. Eventually.
