Every legend needs a hero
Some people fight for honor. Some fight for glory. Some fight to save a princess. I am the third kind. I carry a sword. Now it is time to venture into the mystical land of Hyrule once more to battle against the forces of evil, old school.
It took me a while, but I finally was able to get my hands on a copy of the Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition for the GameCube. Now, I have the two NES Zelda games and the two N64 Zelda games for the GC. I was a little disappointed that it did not come with the SNES version of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but since Ashley’s SNES still works, I may see if I can track that down at some point. After an 80’s retrospective conversation with some friends on Thursday night, I felt a need to play some classic Zelda again. I have not played the Wind Waker version of Zelda for the GC yet, but I will probably pick that up this summer to prepare for the upcoming release of Twilight Princess this fall.
Games have come a long way in the past 20 years.

[...] Ok, I know that I have fallen off the writing bandwagon lately, but saving the world is tough work. I have been super busy at work lately and I have either watched movies, read, or played my GameCube every night after work for the past few weeks. That has not left a lot of time for writing. Saturday was the best day for playing video games. Our yard was sopping wet from the storms on Friday night, so there was not really any yard work that I could do. I got up about 6:45, played on the computer until Ashley got up at 8:30, and then started playing Ocarina of Time. I decided to stop playing somewhere around 2:30 or so. Instead of doing anything productive, I convinced Ashley to watch Return of the King with me (not that it took a lot of convincing). That consumed the rest of the day (the extended version is around four hours) with a slight break for dinner around 5:30. [...]
