A Zelda club? Count me in.
Username/Nickname: Raikiri, but I notice a lot of people call me Rai for short.
Why do you like Zelda? A lot of non-Zelda fans ask me that and I can never fathom why they would ask such a silly question. Alas, I find it be the most complete gaming experience possible. Challenging dungeons, enthralling combat, epic stories, amazing music are all there to draw you in and never let go. The game-play is nothing like else out there and I have yet to find a Zelda game I do not like (except the CDI ones but they don't count). It truly is something surreal. Not to mention, Zelda games are one of the few games that I can play over and over again even after I memorize how to beat a dungeon.
Except for Ocarina of Time's Water Temple. Always need a guide for that one.
Which Zelda game(s) do you like the most, and why? Tough question but I would have to say Twilight Princess. In my opinion, it is the best one since OoT and that is saying a lot. I enjoyed the story, the characters and the size and scope of the world. It had a lot of variety in the game, probably the most after Wind Waker. Most of all, I loved the items and the combat sense. It really felt like the game made huge improvements to the combat deeper and more varied. Not to mention, I firmly believe Twilight Princess had the most epic fight with Ganon yet. The sword duel was amazing. I did Twilight Princess a bit easy at times, though.
OoT is a close second for obvious reasons. It was the perfect game. I just had more fond memories with Twilight Princess than I do with OoT.
Favourite Zelda character(s), and why? Navi because she is so helpful Link is the easy choice as he is the main character and he truly does have the all the ideal qualities that a hero should have.
Zant and Dark Link would have to be mentioned as well, being my favorite villains from the series. Zant truly looked to be a suitable replacement for Ganon until he went nuts and revealed himself to be nothing more than a pawn. Nevertheless, he was critical to the story and his boss fight was probably my favorite. Dark Link is just intense. His fight in the Water Temple is the true boss fight for that dungeon. I never played Zelda II so I wouldn't know too much about that incarnation, but I know everyone agrees that Dark Link is just a bad***.
I also love Orca and Talon for the fact they are critical to the story but also complete jokes in their own way.
Any awesome Zelda moments you'd like to share? The most memorable thing I can share is my semi-tradition with my best friend in which we play at least one Zelda game a year usually over our winter break from school. Most often we pick Twilight Princess as it is our favorite one. Good times playing Zelda for 12 hours straight a day only taking breaks for food.
As far as Skyward Sword is concerned, I am definitely excited for that one. The new control scheme is interesting and adds a whole new dimension to the game. I am not too fond of some of the items however, at least not the ones I have seen in the trailers. Maybe they'll surprise me.
