So this year marked not only my 30th birthday but  The Legend of Zelda's as well. To Mark this Nintendo is releasing books, amiibos, Virtual console games, and pumping new info out about the next installment. So things are looking bright for the franchise. Now those who know me  know I love my action figures and Zelda ones are few and far between. Now one japanese collectable toy company has done a damn good job of producing Zelda figures, however I think they need a reminder of just the selling power of the franchise. On top of that I'm going to make a request of them because I feel like there could be more . So hold onto your seats I've got a letter to write.

Hyrule Warriors is here and to celebrate the final character in my favorite character countdown is Link ah but which Link. Number 1:  Hero of Time. Now this link wasn't always my favorite Link, but after his third appearance. That’s right he has been in three games he stared in two and returned to teach the hero in the third. But we will address those games as they come but let us start with the first game OOT. This is where we are introduced to this Link as a young boy who lives in the forest with a childlike race called Kokiri . One day he awoke to find that he now like the rest of the Korkri had a fairy partner named Navi. He was then tasked by the Great Deku Tree to save the kingdom of Hyrule.  After gathering the three stones he enters the temple of time and draws the Master Sword. He was then sealed inside the temple for 10 years. After he awoke he was now an adult however Hyrule had fallen. This link would then journey to find the sages and ...

So now on to my favorite Zelda, and I know what your thinking aren’t they all the same. The Answer is No they are not all the same.  Epically my two favorites Zeldas So on with the count down. Number 2:  The Not Zeldas Sheik and Tetra.     Now I Know what you thinking you can’t have two favorites then this is a top six. To you I reply, ‘I do what I want!” but I will give you more detail on why these two earn my admiration. Ok so Sheik is from OOT and appears to help Link in the second half of the game. It’s only revealed at the end that Sheik was Zelda is disguise.  You spend the whole game wondering who this person could be. They claimed to be Sheikah however they look nothing like the one person who is established as the last of the Sheikah Impa. They have blond hair and fair skin. Ok if your wonder why I’m avoiding gender pronouns it is never made clear how the Sheik transformation works. If you read the manga adaptation Sheik is a dud...

Ok now on to day three of our countdown to Hyrule Warrior.  Now for day three I thought I do a villain but the only one I like that even worth talking about is the villain from my favorite Zelda game Majora's Mask (MM) the Skull Kid.   Number 3: Skull Kid Skull is not my favorite villain honestly I don’t have a favorite villain. He is my favorite all out mystery. The reason he is a mystery is a Skull Kid has been in three games. Those game are OOT, MM, and TP (see previous blogs).  The Skull Kid first appeared In OOT there where one who you would give the skull mask to you and two others who just want to play music.  Now here is where theory begins. Now Skull Kid serves as the antagonist for MM. In reality he was being used by the mask.  However it is believed that this skull kid and the one you give the skull mask to are one in the same. The theory is that this skull kid was originally from Termina and was banished to Hyrule. Where he m...

Now continuing with yesterday’s blog we are counting down to Hyrule Warrior with my top 5 favorite Legend of Zelda charters and todays is Number 4: Minda Minda appeared in Twilight Princess and is one of my favorite characters for two reasons. The first being she was such a mystery. Here was this little imp like creature who was more at home in the twilight than in light. The Second reason was she was constantly bad mouthing Link.  No matter what Link did she was out right mean about it. My favorite moment of this was when Link returned to Human form she outright tells you she prefers the wolf form. Now Minda’s Role was one we've seen before. Mina served the role of adviser Like Navi and the King of Red Lions before her. The major difference was she was condescending about the role like it was beneath her that and she was nowhere near as annoying as Navi.  Now as the game went one she would warm up to Link and be a little nicer. [Spoiler Warning] The...

So this Friday a game I have been looking forward to all year. No Not Smash Bros it’s Hyrule Warrior.  So to count down the days until the its release with my top 5 favorite Legend of Zelda Characters. Ok before I get into number 5 I will say that 2 and 1 will be a Zelda and a Link, however I won't tell you which ones. So  On with My Top 5 Number 5 : Impa Impa 1 st appeared in the manual for Legend of Zelda (LOZ) Her 1 st in game appearance was in Ocarina of Time (OOT). This was the 1 st time she was a young adult woman. In all previous games she was an elderly Nursemaid or Handmaiden of Princess Zelda. The OOT version was more of a Body Guard it was also the 1 st time the Sheikah were introduced as well. In her next introduction in the Games she was back to being a caretaker and not a body guard how every her appearance was drastically changed in the Oracle Games   She would not again return in game until Skyward Sword (SS) where she would t...
