User:Jedimasterlink

I am Jedimasterlink. My real name is undisclosed because I'm just paranoid like that. The Zelda series is my favorite in gaming, and I also really like most of Nintendo's other franchises, particularly Fire Emblem and Mario. For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, I am also a Star Wars geek. I've read many of the books that chronicle its expanded universe (stuff that takes place outside the six movies, both before and after). You'll probably never see me make an edit on Wookieepedia, however. I figure since it's such a big wiki, there's sure to be someone else who is more than capable of being as productive as I might be.

I am also musically inclined. I have played the clarinet for almost four years now, and given my low level of experience, I am very good at it (second chair overall in my band now!). However, I pretty much only have classical music (and the Star Wars soundtrack =P) on my MP3 player, because frankly, I don't care for much else. I'm weird that way (among other ways).

You can just call me "Jedi" or "JML" for short. "Master" would be appreciated, too. (That was a joke. You can laugh if you like.)

Zelda Games I Have Played
I've played all of the console games, but none of the handhelds, because I don't have a Gameboy or a DS. Shame. I will also list achievements for each game and the number of times I have beaten them, in the order I beat them. I have written reviews for the games here.

Zelda Game Rankings
This list starts with the best and goes down to the worst. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the games but the Zelda II and Four Swords Adventures. FSA was still decent. So, even most of the games in the bottom half are top-tier games.


 * 1) Majora's Mask
 * 2) The Wind Waker
 * 3) A Link to the Past
 * 4) Ocarina of Time
 * 5) Twilight Princess
 * 6) The Legend of Zelda
 * 7) Four Swords Adventures
 * 8) Zelda II

Musical Trivia I Have Noticed
This is a list of reused musical phrases I have noticed in the Zelda series within different music. Some are well-known, while others are a little more obscure. This list also ignores remixed versions of songs, because those are just way too obvious to be worth mentioning. I hid the ones that contain spoilers. If you've played the game it spoils (or if you just don't care about that stuff), you can highlight the text to see it.


 * A phrase from "Kokiri Forest" from Ocarina of Time plays in Outset Island and Forest Haven in The Wind Waker. In both cases, it is the same phrase, though the two versions are slightly different.
 * A phrase in the music played when Wolf Link is trapped in Twilight in Twilight Princess is vaguely similar to the opening phrase of the music played when the happy mask salesman tells Link about Majora's Mask in Majora's Mask. (For the record, I don't believe the creators of Majora's Mask were the Twili. This is the only concrete evidence I have ever seen, except music rarely proves anything anyway.)
 * (Wind Waker Spoiler) The Title theme from A Link to the Past plays when the King of Hyrule assembles the Triforce of Wisdom, transforming Tetra into Princess Zelda in the Wind Waker.
 * (Wind Waker Spoiler) After Ganondorf is defeated in The Wind Waker, when the King of Hyrule speaks to Link and Zelda, the counter-melody of one of the phrases of this version of the "Royal Family" theme sounds similar to the counter-melody of the dungeon music from the original Zelda.
 * In Snowhead Temple, a dungeon in Majora's Mask, one phrase sounds vaguely similar to the main melodic line of the Ice Cavern mini-dungeon music in Ocarina of Time.
 * The final notes of "Ballad of Gales" from The Wind Waker are similar to the last notes of "Minuet of Forest" from Ocarina of Time, though the first interval is different.
 * (A Link the Past spoiler) When Link gets the Triforce after killing Ganon in A Link to that Past, the brief music clip played is similar to the music played whenever Link learns a new Ocarina song.

Theories I Believe

 * 1) Link is not mute. His "lines" are indicated by ellipses (...).
 * 2) The deformed tree seen near the beginning of Majora's Mask was the Deku Butler's son, whose soul was within the Deku Mask.
 * 3) Link was looking for Navi at the beginning of Majora's Mask. There aren't exactly many alternatives. (Read: There aren't any logical ones.)
 * 4) Stone Tower was created to blaspheme the goddesses of Hyrule.
 * 5) The Koroks evolved from the Kokiri, and the Rito evolved from the Zora. The Wind Waker makes this pretty clear without directly stating it.
 * 6) Death Mountain became Dragon Roost Island. Should be pretty obvious, given its location and its volcanic activity.
 * 7) The Skull Kid in Majora's Mask is one of the Skull Kids from Ocarina of Time. How else would he know about Saria?
 * 8) The Hero's Shade is the Hero of Time. He talks about being the Hero in life, and basically everything with "Hero" in its name has something to do with the Hero of Time.
 * 9) The Spirit Temple was converted to the Arbiter's Grounds. Makes sense to me, given its location and physical similarities.
 * 10) The Mirror of Twilight is the mirror in the Spirit Temple. Also makes sense, and here's something I haven't seen anyone mention: the pulley system used to lift the stone slab near the mirror may be the same mechanism used in OoT that Link used to reach the boss room, given its proximity to the mirror seen in Spirit Temple. Of course, it's not likely Nintendo thought about it that much, but still.
 * 11) Dark Link has no allegiance to anybody.
 * 12) The Sheikah became the Dark Interlopers. Their proficiency with magic and near extinction in OoT fits this theory.
 * 13) The Poe Soul Salesman may be the one-eyed man who can see the truth.
 * 14) Sheik is female, but she is disguised as a male.

Theories I DON'T Believe

 * 1) Volvagia is female. Link of the Gorons would know better than that.
 * 2) The Man from the Curiosity Shop is the man from the Trading Post. Are the Bombers all the same person because they look the same? Of course not. There is more evidence against this theory than that, but that's all I care to say.
 * 3) Ganondorf was already inside the Sacred Realm when Link returned to his childhood. Yes, the Door of Time was opened, but if you pay attention, you will notice Link never put back the Master Sword; it was already there. Hence, the Sacred Realm was still locked. Hence, Ganondorf couldn't possibly be inside.
 * 4) The Twili made Majora's Mask. Seriously?
 * 5) Stallord is either Volvagia or King Dodongo. Neither of them are nearly big enough, are the wrong shape in some way, and died in Death Mountain while Stallord is the the desert.
 * 6) Jabun is Jabu-Jabu. This is one of the most groundless theories I have ever seen.
 * 7) Telma is a Gerudo. Something about that just doesn't click.
 * 8) The Twilight Princess Link is a descendant of the Hero of Time. In an interview with Nintendo Power magazine, Eiji Aonuma said that this isn't necessarily true.
