The topic chose for my blog today is on the Legend of Zelda series. The legend of Zelda games began with the original legend of Zelda game for the SNES system and continued well into the future of gaming with the upcoming game, called Skyward sword, for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo Gamecube. The same plot has pretty well be used throughout the series, starting with the kidnapping of the Princess Zelda. Your character, Link, then sets out on a quest to save the young princess from certain death. The game usually takes place in a land called Hyrule, however a few games, such as Link's awakening, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker, do not. (Link's awakening takes place on the island of Kolith, Majora's mask, in Termina field, and Wind Waker in the Great Sea.)
There are currently fifteen games released in the United States, many more having never been released outside of Japan.
The games I am currently playing within this series are Majora's mask, Spirit tracks, Ocarina of time, Wind Waker.
With many popular game series, there also have a few fan-made memes, such as a story created by an avid fan, Titled "The drowning of Ben." This story goes on to tell of how a boy, who at the time, had been in college. He had gotten a used Majora's mask game at a garage sale and took it home to play. Upon playing it, however, the yong man realized that this was no ordinary game. His character kept dying, and thing that could never happe in the real game wouold happen. It was revealed, by a series of videos he made using a computer program, that this game was haunted by the spirit of a boy named Ben, who had been drowned. This evil spirit even went as far as to take over his computer, messing with the young man's head until he went insane, almost commiting suicide. The Spirit would play games with his head, sending him nightmares of events that happened within the game, such as being followed by the creepy elegy statue and having the game's main character, Link, burst into flames, cry out in pain for no reason, become horribly distorted and warmed and messing with the actual game itself. For years, many people believed this horror story to be truse, including a few of my own friends. While this makes for a wonderful horror story, the creator of the story and videos himself has finally come out and revealed this story to be nothing more than his mind creating a stoy that will, most likely, live forever withing the walls of a horror story genre, Creepypasta.
There are actually more than one version of Link. Besides changing from game to game, he also has his dark doppleganger, Dark link, and Link's three alter entities, Blue Link, Violet Link and Red Link. There is also the possibly evil Fierce Diety Link and the Masked forms of Deku Link, Goron Link and Zora Link. My favorite out of these Links would be, hands down, Blue Link. His element is water. I normally play as Blue when my friends and I pick characters to role-play as. Daichi usually is Dark Link. I like pairing those two Links together most.
Legend of Zelda, by far, is my favorite series.
