User:Xykeb Zraliv

I am Xykeb Zraliv, also known as Xykeb, Xykeb the freak (Not my idea. Don't ask how it came about), and Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv. I am obsessed with grammar, and I greatly dislike chatspeak and anything else that purposefully applies improper grammar, though I will tolerate it if necessary (if someone's comment is completely illegible, though, I'm going to have to point it out). I am a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda (As in, my love for the Zelda series is huge. I am in no way a giant, and should be addressed as such). I am also a fan of Majora, which you may be able to tell from certain aspects of me. I am known by my friends for the fact that I obsess over small things with no way to stop me and generally acting very strange. Most of my edits here are small spelling/grammar or fixing factual errors. I'm going for rollback rights, so support/oppose me here. I also occasionally edit Pikipedia, but most of my edits are here. On a side note, I finally reached 1,000 edits!

I am often perceived as rude on this wiki, so I'm just going to say this: If you're not rude to me, I won't be rude to you (well, there are exceptions: for example, if you're spamming, but not necessarily being rude to me, it'll have the same effect). I sound ruder than I intend to on the internet; that's something I can't help. However, if you haven't done anything that I find offensive, whatever I say should not be interpreted as rude, because that's almost certainly not how I intend it to be. I apologize if I sound rude or I offend you, but you can help me by giving me the benefit of the doubt and assuming that I'm not trying to be rude. I have also been called nitpicky; I apologize if you find this annoying, but it's part of my perfectionist nature, and I would appreciate it if you just humored me. Please just tell me if you find me annoying, and I'll stop - no need to be rude about it.

Games I own
These are in the order that I finished them (Not necessarily in the order that I started them)

Ocarina of Time Majora's Mask

The Wind Waker

The Minish Cap

Link's Awakening

Twilight Princess

Phantom Hourglass

I've also played a few minutes of the original Legend of Zelda on Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Game Status
This is where I post where I am in the Zelda games I own.

Ocarina of Time: I've completed this game 4 times. I should probably work on finishing it 100%, but that's probably not going to happen anytime soon.

Majora's Mask: I've completed this game 7 times, the most recent 3 being 100% completion playthroughs. I plan to eventually try out the '3-day challenge', maybe attempt the '3-heart challenge' at the same time.

The Wind Waker: I've completed this game 5 times (including 2 second quest playthroughs), only in the most recent one completing it 100%. I'm currently replaying it (I just completed the Forsaken Fortress second visit) and my goal this time is to get all figurines without going through the second quest!

The Minish Cap: I played this game twice, and I probably won't replay it for a while. And I'll probably NEVER complete it 100%.

Link's Awakening: The downside of being addicted to video games: you finish them in a painfully short time, even if they're long. I finished replaying this game in 5 days. However, I'm planning to play it a third time eventually, which I'm planning to make a 100% completion.

Twilight Princess: I've completed this game twice, both being 100% completion. It's also the only Zelda game I managed to convince my anti-Zelda friend to try, due to its realistic graphics and finishing move (he simply loves stabbing things while they're lying near-dead on the ground), so I'm having him play through it (he just finished the Lakebed Temple).

Phantom Hourglass: I've played this 2 times, one time being a 99% completion (I got every item in the game EXCEPT about 3/5 of the Ship Parts). In my second playthrough, I got a perfect 25 minutes remaining in the Temple of the Ocean King and I'm trying to get every Ship Part so I can truly complete the game 100%.

My Top Games

 * 1) Majora's Mask
 * 2) The Wind Waker
 * 3) Ocarina of Time
 * 4) Twilight Princess
 * 5) Phantom Hourglass

Random facts about me
I know 115 digits of Pi: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679841280865132823.

I can pronounce the word "Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliaphobia".

I can read all 7 Harry Potter books in 5 days.

It took me 8 tries to beat Ingo in the horse race the first time I played Ocarina of Time.

I am also a fan of the Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros., Banjo Kazooie, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, and Pokemon series.

When I drink too much water, I twitch uncontrollably for some unknown reason.

Not sure what these are called, but....
Remember, all these are based on the games I have played. For example, I've heard that A Link to the Past was good, and I've heard that Adventure of Link was bad, but as I've played neither, I'll include neither. By the way, I enjoyed every Zelda game I've played, so the "worst" one in a given category isn't necessarily disliked

Fanfic
I plan to eventually make a fanfic, but I'm still working out some loose ends and figuring out what goes on in between dungeons. I have the basic storyline down, but I'm not anywhere near finished. For now, I just have it in my head (I have a good memory. I don't need to write it down), but when I actually get it down on paper the computer screen, I'll let you know here.

Accomplishments I am particularly proud of
Just a note, these are in no particular order.


 * 1) Completing Majora's Mask 100% 3 times with no help from strategy guides, online FAQs, etc.
 * 2) Collecting every figurine in Wind Waker
 * 3) Completing Temple of the Ocean King with a perfect 25 minutes remaining

Most overrated things
These are the things that are, in my opinion, the 3 most overrated things in the Zelda universe.


 * 1) Ocarina of Time - The game was great, but flawless? Please.
 * 2) Stallord - I actually thought the Staltroops were annoying and the fight really wasn't that fun for me.
 * 3) Kafei and Anju sidequest - It's not as complicated as people make it sound, in my opinion.

Most underrated things
These are the things that are, in my opinion, the 3 most underrated things in the Zelda universe.


 * 1) Navi - People sure beat up on Navi, don't they? Honestly, she's not THAT annoying. Every time I play Ocarina of Time I try to see it from that point of view and see Navi as annoying, and every time I fail.
 * 2) Temple of the Ocean King - Maybe I'm just more patient with my video games than most people, but I just did not find this place to be at all tedious. Besides, if I can go through this place 30 or so times (I do this to get the ship parts strewn around the place - I've noticed that there is a remarkably high chance of getting a Golden Ship Part in one of the last two chests (which is not to say there's a high chance; just there's a higher chance than getting it from, say, a minigame)) and not be annoyed, how can you say that you're annoyed from going through it 5 or 6 times?
 * 3) Wind Waker bosses - Sure, they were too easy, but not everything has to be challenging to be fun. I thoroughly enjoyed every single boss fight in Wind Waker.

Things I find annoying
As the name implies, this is a list of things in the Legend of Zelda series that I find annoying (in no particular order):

Link's Awakening

 * 1) The fight with Moldorm - I swear I fell into that pit at least 10 times.
 * 2) The fact that people will call you THIEF if you steal from the shop
 * 3) Those Chu-Chu like things (I can't remember what they're called - they're the things that zap you if you attack them with your sword)
 * 4) Wizzrobes
 * 5) The soldier at Kanalet Castle that attacks you from the pits
 * 6) The fact that my Game Boy ran out of batteries right after I beat the last boss

Ocarina of Time

 * 1) The whole "stealth" thing in the Gerudo's Fortress
 * 2) Moblins
 * 3) The Carpet Merchant ripoff
 * 4) Wallmasters
 * 5) Bubbles
 * 6) Bottom of the Well
 * 7) Gold Skulltula sidequest

Majora's Mask

 * 1) The fight with Twinmold
 * 2) Having to start over if you run out of time
 * 3) The whole "stealth" thing in the Pirate's Fortress (I later learned that the Stone Mask makes it easier to do this, so it's no longer a problem)
 * 4) Wallmasters
 * 5) Beneath The Well
 * 6) Gyorg's tendency to swallow you before you get a chance to escape to the platform after attacking it

The Wind Waker

 * 1) Floormasters
 * 2) The Wind Temple

The Minish Cap

 * 1) The random chance Figurine system
 * 2) Gyorg Pair
 * 3) The entire concept of Kinstone Fusion
 * 4) Having to fight the 3 Darknuts in the end with a time limit

Twilight Princess

 * 1) Beth
 * 2) Falbi
 * 3) Those 3 girls that produce hearts after you play Purlo's game
 * 4) Agitha
 * 5) Staltroops
 * 6) Agitha's sidequest
 * 7) Imp Poe sidequest
 * 8) More Pieces of Heart per Heart Container = More Pieces of Heart. More Pieces of Heart = More secret areas. More secret areas = More searching. More searching = Less actual game time. Less actual game time = Less fun.
 * 9) Rollgoal

Phantom Hourglass

 * 1) Rupoors
 * 2) Having to find Courage Gems
 * 3) Having to find Power Gems
 * 4) Having to find Wisdom Gems
 * 5) Various minigames
 * 6) Fishing
 * 7) The fact that whether or not you get the items from the Masked Man depends entirely on luck

Theories I believe

 * 1) The Hero's Shade is the Hero of Time.
 * 2) The Zora evolved into the Rito.
 * 3) Link is looking for Navi in the beginning of Majora's Mask.
 * 4) The Stone Tower was created to insult the Godesses.
 * 5) Link is not mute. He talks, he just has no in-game dialog.
 * 6) Deku Link (As in the soul Link inhabits when he wears the Deku Mask, not Link himself), the Deku Butler's Son, and the small deformed tree at the the beginning of Majora's Mask are all the same character.
 * 7) Bongo Bongo is the man whose house used to be where the Kakariko well is. Additionally, that man was a Sheikah.
 * 8) Dark Link is on his own and has no ties to Ganondorf.

There are probably more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Theories I do NOT believe
Note that I am only going to do popular theories. That means than any little idea that you've come up with is not significant to me if you're the only person that believes it.


 * 1) The Twili are somehow connected to the race that used Majora's Mask. If they were known for trying to rule Hyrule, why would they originate from Termina? Even if they did manage to get to Hyrule, why would they not try to rule Termina instead (well, they did with Majora's Mask if this theory is true, but why not continue? If they're going to try to rule SOME world even after they fail once, why not do it to their homeland and THEN branch out?)?
 * 2) Link and Zelda are in love.
 * 3) The postman talked about in Koboli's figurine is a postman in another Zelda game. I mean, one postman is in Termina, he's not going to Hyrule any time soon. Another is in Twilight Princess, which takes place in a different timeline. One is in Labrynna, which is in a different timeline AND a different world. And the last one is in Minish cap, which comes AFTER Wind Waker (remember, all of these facts are taken from the timeline that I personally believe, which may not be entirely correct). This does not, of course, mean that I believe Nintendo intended it to be meaningless. I suspect they put it in there as a cameo of sorts, but didn't think too much about whether or not it really made sense.
 * 4) Kaebora Gaebora is Rauru.
 * 5) Volvagia is female. Ok, this one I actually KNOW is incorrect. Link of the Gorons talks about him, referring to him as 'he': "A long time ago there was an evil dragon named Volvagia living in this mountain. That dragon was very scary! He ate Gorons! Using a huge hammer, the hero of the Gorons... BOOOM! Destroyed it just like that. This is a myth from long ago, but it's true!" (Thanks to Baltro for providing me with this quote, which I previously had not remembered from playing the game)
 * 6) The Man from the Curiosity Shop and the man from the Trading Post are the same person.
 * 7) Jolene is a Gerudo. That's actually kind of racist, if you think about it. I mean, it's basically giving off the message "If it has brown skin, it's a Gerudo".

Remember, these are theories I do NOT believe. If you think that any of these are true and you want to discuss it with me, you can do so on my talk page.

Things I'd like solved
This is a list of things that I find to be nonsensical concerning the series and would like solved:


 * 1) How can the Gibdos be so incredibly stupid as to think that Link is one of them simply because his face looks like one of their faces?
 * 2) Why does the race with the Running Man in Ocarina of Time even exist?
 * 3) How does King Bulblin survive getting knocked off of 2 very high bridges?
 * 4) Who was so incredibly bored as to think up "Tingle! Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah!"?
 * 5) Why is Mario, a former plumber trying to rescue a princess from a giant turtle, more popular than the Legend of Zelda series?
 * 6) How can we hear Link screaming when he jumps in lava in Twilight Princess even when his mouth is already submerged?
 * 7) Why does Link need the Kafei's Mask to ask where Kafei is?
 * 8) Why do Tetra's Pirates need bombs to break down the Stone Slab at Outset Island when they are seen with a perfectly good cannon at the beginning of the game?
 * 9) How does Link take off his Iron Boots in Twilight Princess while hanging upside-down on the ceiling?
 * 10) How did Goht get frozen?
 * 11) How does Link see through the Couple's Mask?

Of course, this is skipping over the obvious ones, like "How can skeletons be alive?" or "How can the Deku be sentient?", since everybody asks those questions and the extremely obvious answer to all of them is that the land is filled with magic or whatever and skeletons can be a alive if they want to be. Of course, in Stallord's case, it's alive because Zant stuck a magical stick through its head.
