I am just a guy that enjoys his Zelda games, and theories, and hopes to help others with help in the Zelda series. I haven't played them all, so I might be lost sometimes... I play the electric guitar and also use programs such as Fruity Loops to create beats. I also use Adobe Photoshop for graphic designing. I'm also great with tech. I can work with just about any software. I will try my best to help any tech related questions sent my way, or anyone's way!

Game Reviews
I'm gonna have about 2-3 reviews here, but will only be newer games within a 3-4 month range. Comment on the reviews or questions in my talk page with heading as the game, please. Just for quick reference for everybody else to place there questions and comments under.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
XBOX 360 GRAPHICS - They are alright, not the best though. Too much black and white because of the darkness. AUDIO - Voice acting sounds good, Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher is the best thing about it though. Music is mediocre CONTROLS - Awkward. Not something that you would expect. Other than the basics, it goes haywire from there. Pushing the left stick in reloads, and a few buttons do nothing at all... I'm not going into depth into it... GAMEPLAY - Fast-paced compared to the previous installments. It is a normal shooting, like most games are now, mixed in with good ol' Splinter Cell stealth. Best thing added, by far, is the technique called "Mark and Execute". After getting a hand-to-hand combat kill, you can "Mark" the amount of people you can, you then press the Y-button, and Sam Fisher will take them all out in seconds, as long as you are in range for the shot, and nothing is in the way. PLOT - After taking the most dangerous mission of his life, Sam Fisher leaves Third Echelon and tries to deal with his daughter, Sarah, being dead and all. In Malta, Sam is located by Third Echelon and are trying to kill him. Anna Grimsdottier tells you that the leader of the attack knows the person who murdered Sarah and Sam is on his way to get his revenge. Working as a prologue, the Co-Op story serves to show... well, I don't want to spoil the end of the Single-Player.... OVERALL - If you enjoy the Splinter Cell series, than this one does not fail to disappoint, and if you don't mind coming in half-way into a story, than go for it. It's a really fun game. REPLAY VALUE - There are a few online modes, but they can get boring quick after you beat them... Notes: Only for XBOX 360 and PC. Ubisoft, the developer, said that they are currently working on another Splinter Cell. They only said it is either an exclusive to the PS3, multi-console, or a port of Conviction to PS3.

Heavy Rain
PS3 GRAPHICS - Absolutely stunning! The just show it off during the loading between levels too... Facial animation couldn't get any better than this. AUDIO - Audio is incredible. Top-notch for any mystery like game. VO (Voice Over) is good, but at the same time terrible. No one seems capable of pronouncing words properly... They can't even say the name of the antagonist the whole way through... Please tell me how hard it is to say "Origami". They also are incapable of emotion... CONTROLS - Unique... the whole game plays out as a movie more than a game. You move the character with the triggers and change the direction they are moving with the control stick. Every other action is used by copying the on-screen instructions. GAMEPLAY - The game isn't really a game... It doesn't call itself that.. It calls itself "Interactive Drama", so you can only imagine... PLOT - Starting out as Ethan Mars, you lead the normal life, until a day at the mall turns into a wreck. Trying to save your son from being smashed in by a car, you result in a coma, the son dies anyway. The son actually isn't hit by the car when it shows it only Ethan is... it also hits Ethan's spinal cord directly... . Then two years later, a day at the park doesn't go over that well and the younger son is kidnapped when Ethan stumbles into a blackout. Playing as four characters; Ethan Mars, Madison Paige, Norman Jayden, and Scott Shelby, you have to save Shaun Mars from the grasp of the Origami Killer. Ethan has to show how far he will go to save someone he loves! OVERALL - If you liked the recent "Sherlock Holmes" movie, then you'll like this... just darker... REPLAY VALUE - 22 endings, and tons of decision making to result in a different strand in the story. Notes: Only for PS3. The characters die, and the game continues without them appearing again... Better not die.. unless you want one of the endings!

God of War III
PS3 GRAPHICS - Most excellent. Blood spills on Kratos and stays there. Every emotion, mostly anger, is implemented into his character, and just overall it looks amazing. AUDIO - Kratos sounds angry and he damn well sounds good. The Gods sound like you would imagine they sound... except Hermes... He sounds like a 4-year old... CONTROLS - Perfect. Face buttons attack and jump. Left stick moves... Obiviously.... Right stick evades because camera is fixed. Directional buttons choose weapon... R1 is block and L1 is special attacks. R2 and L2 are magic, and R3 and L3 are used in conjunction for Rage of Sparta. PLOT - Kratos is seeking his vengeance against the Gods, and now the Titans as well. Feel free to browse the bloody corpses he leaves in his path... OVERALL - A must-get for any PS3 player. REPLAY VALUE - Lots of stuff. Phoenix Feathers, Minotaur Horns, Gorgon Eyes... and the Godly Possessions. Along with the Super Hard difficulty, Chaos. Notes: Only for PS3 You'll actually be lost if you haven't played any other God of War... The opening cinematic might not explain it enough... It doesn't really state out-right what happened... This may only be me, but I downright love the "Dear Playstation" commercial for this... I want to be Regional Manager of War when I grow up...

Theories I Believe

 * Link is looking for Navi at the beginning of Majora's Mask.
 * Kokiri evolved into the Koroks
 * Link talks. Clearly shown with the green text in Ocarina of Time, when Link is asked a question, and the player answers for him.
 * Jabun and Jabu-Jabu are one and the same. I believe this because he is one of the characters that still speaks Old Hylian.
 * The Spirit Temple became Arbiter's Grounds.
 * Kaepora Gaebora is Rauru.
 * The Man from the Curiosity Shop, and the Man from the Trading Post are one and the same. I always found that he is wearing a wig while in at the Trading Post.
 * The Boy in the Graveyard became the Poe Salesman.

Theories I DO NOT Believe

 * The Hero's Shade is the the Link from Ocarina of Time. You can be a hero of many things...
 * Bongo Bongo is the man whose house became the Kakariko Well. I find it more reasonable that he was just imprisoned there.
 * Death Mountain became Dragon Roost Island. The smoke entirely disappears once you beat Dragon Roost Cavern, while it simply changes from a red light, to a grey smoke ring, in Ocarina of Time.
 * The Zora evolved into the Rito. Fins turn into wings, I'm sure....
 * The Spirit Temple comes before the Shadow Temple. It's possible, but chronologically I don't believe that the Spirit Temple came first.
 * Volvagia became Stallord. Just no.
 * Anjean is Tetra. Yeah... NO!

My Timeline Theory
Basically my timeline theory. If you don't get the end part, its that I think it happens on both sides, and it is just easier to place it like that. I see that it makes sense that in both timelines, Ganon would need to be revived.

Creation of Hyrule and the Triforce |               War of the Bound Chest |                  Events of Minish Cap |                  Events of Four Swords |             Events of Four Swords Adventures |                 Hyrulean Civil War |                   Imprisoning War (Events of Ocarina of Time) /                \       Great Flood                   Events of Majora's Mask |                                 |   Events of the Wind Waker             Ganondorf's Execution |                                 | Events of Phantom Hourglass           Zant's Invasion of Hyrule |                     (Events of Twilight Princess) Establishment of New Hyrule                    | |                     Events of The Legend of Zelda Events of Spirit Tracks                     | |                    Events of The Adventure of Link |                                 |              |                       Events of A Link to the Past \                                 /                   Revival of Ganon (Events of Oracle of Seasons/Ages) |             Awakening of the Wind Fish (Events of Link's Awakening)
