I'm a male human being. And I'm really interesting.

Zelda games I've played
These are in the order that I started playing them. The order I finished playing them is the same except for the fact that I finished LA before TP.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

The only games I haven't really played are the original Legend of Zelda, Four Swords, and Four Swords Adventures, which I'm not really interested in playing at the moment. I will probably play the original eventually, however.

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

Ocarina of Time: Completed five times. Most recent playthrough was 100%, but none of the others.

Majora's Mask: Completed nine times, five most recent being 100%. Considered 6-day challenge, haven't followed through yet.

The Wind Waker: Completed six times. Most recent playthrough was 100% (including Figurines), but none of the others.

The Minish Cap: Completed four times, two most recent being 100%.

Twilight Princess: Completed four times, all 100%.

Link's Awakening: Completed five times, two most recent being 100%.

Phantom Hourglass: Completed two times, both of which may as well have been 100% even though I made a big deal out of not getting all the ship parts for god knows what reason.

Adventure of Link: Started game, never continued. Not currently planning to. Ever. And I'd like to stress that very much.

Oracle of Ages: Completed three and a half times (one not linked, one linked, and half return linked), most recent one being 100% except the rings which I insist should not be considered part of 100%. Half playthrough because I started a walkthrough which I have no immediate plans to finish.

Oracle of Seasons: Completed three times (one not linked, two linked), most recent one being 100% except rings.

A Link to the Past: Completed twice. Most recent playthrough was 100%, but not the other one.

Spirit Tracks: Completed once. May as well have been 100% except once again I never got all the train parts. Then again, who cares?

Skyward Sword: Completed once with 100%.

Random Opinions
These are some random opinions I have about the Zelda series. It regards certain issues that Zelda fans talk about a lot (or, in some cases, issues that nobody talks about but me). If you disagree, you can put something on my talk page as long as you stay civil.


 * Midna should not be in the next Zelda game. Why not? Well, first off, the Mirror of Twilight was destroyed, so Nintendo would have to come up with some really lame excuse for her to come back. Also, Midna's story has already been told. She goes from being an insensitive anti-hero to a soft-hearted protagonist and if she came back she'd not have a whole lot of capacity for growth. Then again, the series isn't really known for its character development, so meh.
 * I think that Oracle of Ages is better than Oracle of Seasons. They were both great, but I prefer Ages.
 * I don't really find Tingle annoying. Maybe it's just me, but immaturity isn't exactly something that bugs me in a video game character that I can't control.
 * Navi isn't really annoying either. I guess I'm just numb to it or something.
 * I really dislike Zant. Let me explain why first. Now, I don't actually mind that he went crazy. Plenty of villains do. But with Zant, it was too sudden and too forced. There were no scenes of him gradually going crazy, not even five seconds of him going "NO YOU HAVE RUINED ALL MY PLANS GAAAAAA". He just has a personality in the first half of the game and has another personality dumped on him in the other half. I mean, what's the point? Seems an awful lot to me that Nintendo wanted a cool and calculating villain and an insane villain and then one guy was all like "hey what if we made the cool villain go insane, that'll work perfectly". Doesn't fit right for me.
 * The Ocean Temple is badly named. Why? Well, because all the other dungeons are named differently. The others are named after the element that they embody rather than the location in which they are found (Forest happens to be both the location and the element). Even the Tower of Spirits is named after an "element" of sorts. The Ocean Temple, however, is named after the location, the ocean, rather than the element, water. Of course, as Oni Dark Link pointed out, it actually has little to do with water, so naming it the Ocean Temple does kind of fit, but it still bugs me.
 * It is, if not totally sensible, perfectly plausible for the Zoras to have evolved into Ritos. I don't see what's so hard about this. Yes, it's kind of weird for fish to evolve into birds, but aren't scientists theorizing about dinosaurs evolving into birds? People also say that it makes no sense for a water-based race to disappear after the world is flooded. I don't understand this either, because it makes perfect sense. Hyrulean Zora(s) are freshwater creatures (yes, the ones in MM and OoA live in the ocean, but those are entirely different worlds; the Gorons also live in a wildlife-filled mountain rather than a volcano and the Deku live in a swamp rather than a forest in MM). The Great Sea is saltwater. Things that live in freshwater oftentimes cannot adapt to saltwater, and vice versa. I mean, if the world was flooded, would alligators feel at home? No, they live in freshwater. It very well could be the same situation here.
 * The Hyrule Historia is garbage. That is all.

Superlatables
Zelda II will not be counted because it is obvious it fits at the bottom of any list that pertains to a game. Then again, PH now fills that role, but meh.

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):

Adventure of Link

 * Er....everything?

A Link to the Past

 * Buzzblobs
 * The fact that seemingly every enemy does at least a whole heart of damage
 * Deadrocks

Link's Awakening

 * The fight with Moldorm - I swear I fell into that pit at least 10 times.
 * The fact that people will call you THIEF if you steal from the shop
 * Buzzblobs
 * Wizzrobes
 * The soldier at Kanalet Castle that attacks you from the pits

Ocarina of Time

 * The whole "stealth" thing in the Gerudo's Fortress
 * Moblins
 * Wallmasters
 * Bubbles
 * Bottom of the Well
 * Gold Skulltula sidequest
 * Big Poes

Majora's Mask

 * The fight with Twinmold
 * Wallmasters
 * Beneath The Well
 * Gyorg's tendency to swallow you before you even get a chance to escape to the platform after attacking it
 * Dampe's walking speed

Oracle of Ages

 * Buzzblobs
 * Head Thwomp

Oracle of Seasons

 * Buzzblobs
 * Agahnim
 * Manhandla

The Wind Waker

 * Floormasters
 * The Wind Temple

The Minish Cap

 * The random chance Figurine system
 * Gyorg Pair
 * Substitional Kinstone fusions

Twilight Princess

 * Beth
 * Falbi
 * Those 3 girls that produce hearts after you play Purlo's game
 * Agitha
 * Staltroops
 * Agitha's sidequest
 * Imp Poe sidequest
 * 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.
 * Rollgoal
 * Goat Herding

Phantom Hourglass

 * Rupoors
 * Having to find Courage Gems
 * Having to find Power Gems
 * Having to find Wisdom Gems
 * Various minigames
 * Fishing

Spirit Tracks

 * Rabbits
 * Armored Trains
 * Having to blow into the microphone on a regular basis

Skyward Sword

 * Dodoh
 * Fledge
 * Peatrice
 * The poor implementation of quicksand
 * Spumes
 * The Imprisoned
 * The fact that you can hold up to 9900 rupees...and the most expensive item in the game is worth 1600. What.
 * Rickety Coaster
 * Quadro Babas
 * The fact that they tease you with Clawshot symbols all over the place but most of the other items have almost no overworld application whatsoever

Overall

 * Nintendo has no respect for arthropods, continuing to mislabel them over and over. Let's take a look, shall we?
 * In several games, Gohma has six legs but one body part. Nothing fits that description.
 * Queen Gohma is labeled as an arachnid despite having three legs.
 * Twinmold is labeled as an insect despite obviously being a centipede/millipede.
 * Mothula has no legs in ALttP and OoS.
 * Spiny "Beetles" look so much more like turtles it's not even funny.
 * Snails are considered bugs in TP when they're obviously not.
 * Agitha herself, a supposed bug fanatic, seems to believe that snails are bugs.
 * On the subject of Agitha, does Nintendo have something against people that like bugs or something? They all come across as shut-in freaks of nature. Even Strich, who I thought was an okay character, was a little creepy.
 * Beetles have four legs and one body part.
 * In OoT and MM, Skulltulas, Skullwalltulas, and Gold Skulltulas have flat legs.
 * Stagnox, based on a stag beetle, has four legs.
 * Tektites, based on spiders, have four legs and one body part.
 * Rocktites have four legs and one body part as well.

Things I find nonsensical
This is a list of things that I find to be nonsensical concerning the series and would like solved. I generally try to go for less obvious questions if only because the other ones have been asked to death. Questions that are striked out are ones that I've been given a satisfying answer to.

Oh, and if you've seen other people doing this, I'd like to point out that I started this trend. My pride is just overwhelming.


 * 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) How can we hear Link screaming when he jumps in lava in Twilight Princess even when his mouth is already submerged?
 * 6) Why does Link need the Kafei's Mask to ask where Kafei is?
 * 7) How did Goht get frozen?
 * 8) How does the Postman get to the end of the Cave of Ordeals?
 * 9) Why does Link play the guitar right-handed in Zora form?
 * 10) Why does Ganondorf use another Phantom Ganon in The Wind Waker when the one in Ocarina of Time failed so badly and was declared useless?
 * 11) How do people learn anything from something like "!*nh5"?
 * 12) How does Ralph know about the secret passage in the castle?
 * 13) Why does Lulu allow Deku Scrubs to set up businesses in her room, even after she gets her voice back?
 * 14) Why does the Postman need to draw a curtain in front of him when all he's doing is putting on his hat and backpack?
 * 15) Why do we always see the guard looking at the Rosa Sisters when they dance?
 * 16) Why doesn't the sun block near the Ancient Castle of Ikana automatically disappear from the natural sunlight?
 * 17) Why would Gillian date a fish? x_x
 * 18) Why does the Forest Temple from Ocarina of Time have so many undead enemies?
 * 19) Why does Tarin want to poke a beehive with a stick?
 * 20) What kind of parent would name their child "Guru-Guru"?
 * 21) How does Link see through Kamaro's Mask?
 * 22) Why is Sahasrahla found so far away from the village where he apparently lives?
 * 23) Why are there four eyes in the Vitreous fight that never do anything at all?
 * 24) Why does ST feature bunnies living in the ocean?
 * 25) Why are the clouds in SS just one big unbreakable mass?

Also, if you can think of a reason why one or more of these makes sense, or if you simply want to discuss them, please do so on my talk page, not here.

Personal pages
These are the things I've made on this wiki (and none of them are worth checking out in their current state).


 * Reviews: Self explanatory; this is where I review some games.
 * Majora's Mask Walkthrough: A 100% walkthrough of Majora's Mask I made. Currently a mess. Overhaul was considered, but then I went inactive and now the whole thing sucks. So there you have it.
 * Top Ten: Self explanatory; this is my top ten for various categories. It has been remade from the original mess that it once was to the mess that it currently is. Lovely.
 * My Zelda Game: Fanfiction game I made a long time ago. Could've been cool was but was ruined by lack of imagination when it comes to filler content. Also, I never completed it, so none of the actually interesting parts were ever recorded.
 * Games I've Played: A list of all the games in my collection. Painfully outdated since I went inactive, but an update is probably inevitable.
 * Oracle of Ages Walkthrough: The second walkthrough I attempted. I was planning to do a walkthrough on Oracle of Seasons afterward, but it turns out I never finished this one up anyway. Not sure if I'm even going to in the end.
 * Why Oracle of Ages Comes First: A list of reasons why it makes more sense for Oracle of Ages to come before Oracle of Seasons. I'm not really sure why I made this, but I still stick by what I said on that page.
