Zelda Experience
My first Zelda experience was around 1989 when the Simpsons and Mario where on stickers and huge. I did not play the game because I didn't own a console at the time. After school I went to a store that also rented games. There I just watched game play while I was getting picked up, never knowing the game title. In this place is where I learned about how amazing the Zelda game was. After I got my first console I managed to play many games by borrowing from my rich neighbors. I did play Zelda, but I didn't understand it because I had no English. Plus I had so many games that I didn't know what cartridge face was the game I was playing. So in those mixtures, I played Willow, and got it confused with Zelda. There was a centaur that always got me killed with just one shot. So I hated the whole RPG looking games. In 1993 I was able to play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. Here is where I started getting into the game, and as I did progress I noticed the same features described by that game that always got such awesome complements back in 1989. I just got hooked. This was also the first and only Zelda game that I have had help. I played for hours, and discovered so many secrets. For me this was a challenge since I didn't know any English still, and there were no guides other than the help from the Nintendo Magazine, which I couldn't afford. I ended up being the help for the kids of my neighbor. By 1995 I saw the first images for Zelda 64. This was the 3D breakthrough time. This is the first time I got exited about a Zelda release game, but with time I forgot because the development took long. At the quarter end of 1998 I moved to Canada. Here I got I a really crappy job, and with the little money I made, I bought my first NES. With it, I bought one of the golden cartridges, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link". It was also the first time I ate pretzels, so I always relate them. Later I bought The Legend of Zelda, always expecting the annoying centaur to appear, but instead I got different ones. Well,since then I have been able to buy my own games. It is a must for me to play the game and finish it 100%. I do buy guides after, and it is mostly because of the artwork. I have never used cheat codes, or game genies. I believe a good Zelda experience is to play the games the way they where meant to be played.
Zelda Timeline
Time line. I guess one of the most entertaining things about Zelda, is trying to figure our the time line. I have been playing most games to come with a time line that makes the most sense. So far for my findings I have called one of the split time lines, as the Cel Time line. I am 1/4 done with Twilight Princess, so I hope by the end of the month to have all the info I need.
Currently Playing
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
