Just my thoughts on some games. Lots of Zelda/Pokémon/Animal Crossing, Naughty Dog, and Indies.
My (and very many others') first Zelda game, Ocarina of Time has a special place in my heart. From watching my neighbor playing it when I was a little kid, to playing it myself at 14, the game always sparked a sense of wander in me. It was the stuff of my dreams, a magical … Continue reading A Year of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Last year I wrote about Spooky Things in Non-Horror Games, and I wanted to give one of those, The Legend of Zelda its own expanded post this year (especially since I'm doing my Year of Zelda series). One of my favorite things about the Zelda series is that many of the games contain horror elements. … Continue reading Spooky Scary Stalfos Knights: Looking at Horror in The Legend of Zelda
This is the first game to have dungeons appear on my Top 20 Dungeons in the Zelda Series posts (although upon replay of A Link to the Past, I realized some of those needed to be on there). However, here I only considered them as they exist in the remake, and things are slightly shifted … Continue reading Link’s Awakening Dungeon Ranking
Since my last entry I have been hard at work crafting spooky diys and decorating my island and seasonal house. I've now obtained all the spooky diys, so I'll make sure to feature them all in this post. We're less than two weeks from Halloween, so I am in full on spooky mode! Azurerose's Entrance … Continue reading Animal Crossing: New Horizons Diaries #37
For this Spooky Friday, I'm doing the Horror Tag from Michelle at A Geek Girl's Guide. Thanks for the fun prompts! How old were you when you saw your first horror movie? I guess it depends on what you count as horror. I think Jurassic Park qualifies, so I was probably around 6. I've watched … Continue reading The Horror Tag
Forget Zelda, forget Ganon, forget the triforce. Link's Awakening throw aways the barely established Zelda storyline in favor of a more whimsical adventure, and even features characters from the Mario games. It reminds me of Majora's Mask in a way, straying from tradition and giving a more unique Zelda experience, albeit one that I don't … Continue reading A Year of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
Fridays this month on the blog are now Spooky Fridays! I haven't done a pokémon post in awhile, but since it's spooky season, and the second Sword and Shield dlc pack, The Crown Tundra is coming out soon, I decided to it was time for a ghost pokémon post. Last year I wrote a post … Continue reading Favorite Shiny Ghost Pokémon
Last week I talked about A Link to the Past, and this week I'm ranking the dungeons. I think this is where my puzzle bias will start to show through in my dungeon rankings. I tend to prefer challenging puzzles over tough enemies, and I'm not a huge fan of 'defeat enemies to get to … Continue reading A Link to the Past Dungeon Ranking
The fall update is here and I've been busy growing pumpkins, crafting new diys, and doing lots of Halloween decorating (in real life and in the game)! And as Jack has reminded me via the lovely postal system, I've been making my daily trip to Nook's to buy candy. Even Nook's Cranny got a spooky … Continue reading Animal Crossing: New Horizons Diaries #36
Look at that stained glass After playing The Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past feels like a gigantic leap forward. The game opens on a stormy night, very different from many of the series's bright, cheery openings (also hey, we have weather in Zelda now). You're instantly treated to … Continue reading A Year of Zelda: A Link to the Past
