"Wait, that's not Princess Zelda! That's a grenade!"

- Link

"I know! I switched them when you were not looking!"

- Ganondorf

"So you just happened to have a grenade that looked exactly like Princess Zelda?"

- Saria

"Well, if by that you mean four inches tall, round, made of metal and explosive when triggered, then yes, we did."

- Maple

"It was the perfect plan..."

- Midna

"And we fell for it...how unfortunate."

'''Take heed! Any and all quotes listed on my userpage will drive you insane, should you seek to place them in any canonity! Still, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Go ahead, see what you can do! Now then...'''

Thanks for coming to visit! Welcome to my page, weary traveller. Luckily for you, I have time for much self-glorifying prattle about nothing in particular. I am in my final year at school right now, so I will periodically not be editing articles on this site, because I will be studying for, or doing, tests. Apart from that, I try and make an effort to do what I can for this site.

I own some of the older Zelda games, such as A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening (it wrecked itself somehow but) and the Oracle Series. I cannot play the Four Swords I have without more players. However, with the recent purchase of a Gamecube, I am now able to play everything except for Phantom Hourglass and Link's Crossbow Training. Getting the games, however, is another story, although I do have Twilight Princess now.

I have read many of the mangas, a few being OoT, MM, Link's Awakening, the Oracle series, the Minish Cap and the first part of ALTTP. If anyone wants a page updated with what the manga mentions about something, feel free to ask.

The chronology of the series? I don't know, and I don't really mind either. I'll write a little more here after I've played every single game. However, I do believe this: Majora's Mask happened after ALL of the events of Ocarina of Time. When it comes time, I'll explain this theory further.

I'm a huge fan of Maple from the Oracle series, but I can't really say why. She just appeals to me as a character, and in the stories I write I've made a character in her honour. However, my all time favourite character is, shockingly, not even in the games. She's in the manga, and her name is Felicia, and I just made an awesome template for her. Well, no more awesome than any of the others, but after all, it's Felicia. So, that makes up for it, I suppose. Hopefully I'll see this template spread far and wide, but seeing as what it currently says...it'll probably stay with just me. We'll see.

Take a look at my userboxes for a brief second. MidnaXLink, ZeldaXLink, what could I be thinking? For those who ask that, I believe that in Twilight Princess, Midna is the girl who, if any, Link is going to wind up with. Trust me, if others demand this, she'll be back. You know I'm right. As for games like the Oracle series, I think that there's little doubt Link would have Zelda. Not any competition there. Long story short: MidaXLink in TP, ZeldaXLink in other games. Will be explained further in "Theories".

Well now, when it comes to the games, what are my favourites? After looking at some of the other user pages on the Zelda Wiki, I suddenly feel obliged to state my favourites. However, unlike the pages I have seen, I will also talk a little about the mangas. Go!

Games
1. Twilight Princess: Just as Zant usurped his position as leader of the Twili, Twilight Princess has usurped Ocarina of Time's position of number one. I enjoyed almost every single moment of this game, especially the awesome soundtrack. Although I was upset to not see the Ocarina of Time, it really wouldn't have made sense to have it there, I suppose. Still, it didn't stop Twilight Princess from escalating to the top! I own the Gamecube edition, by the way.

Midna and Zant, two characters I had never paid close attention to here, just so I could keep this game a surprise for myself, have each taken a position on my favourites list. Although it is a little off-putting how Midna talks while nobody else does, it isn't enough to annoy me.

Homages to the previous Zelda games (I only noticed the OoT and MM ones, were there more?) were well-put; I was shocked when I heard the Howling Stone play the Song of Healing to me, and the new Serenade of Water, plus the countless others. The save in the start menu was a welcome return for me; I prefer it to having to find an Owl Statue to save at. A tune I particularly liked was when Link first enters the Hidden Village. Reminded me of a western tune, and it's probably what it was.

This game held, for me, the most fun boss battle ever: Zant. I was reminded strikingly of Majora, when I fought him, just in the way Zant was moving most of the time. The whole time I was fighting him, I couldn't stop chuckling. Rest assured, I'll be working through this one again.

Look at this! The newest game I own, and the longest summary! Well, I'd better either expand the others, or stop here. For now, I'll close off with my top five TP moments:

'''1. Boss battle against Zant.

2. Boss battle against Ganondorf

3. Horseback battles

4. Snowpeak Temple.

5. Hearing Saria's Song in the Lost Woods.'''

2. Ocarina of Time: What can I say? The first Zelda game I got my hands on was this one, and I've loved it ever since. It is one of few reasons that I still play my Nintendo 64, and the classic story of this game overcomes the annoying Nintendo control. My favourite part of the game would have to be the Spirit Temple. I just like it.

3. Majora's Mask: Another Nintendo 64 one, and the second reason I still play my 64. Majora's Mask is a very unique experience in the series, and the ability to do stuff over and over on it is a very fun experience. I'm still discovering little secrets in this game! Unlike a lot of people, I didn't feel cheated to see all the character models I saw on Ocarina of Time; I was actually amused at this, and I had fun pairing up each one to see their differences. My favourite part of this game is, for now, the Romani Ranch quests. Each time I restart the day count, I find myself over at the ranch, defeating Them. On a regular basis, I also do the reuniting Kafei and Anju Quest.

4. Oracle of Seasons: The experience I got from this GBC game was a very enjoyable one, that persists to this very day. I find myself going through this entire game now, not dying once. Compared to 104 in-game deaths first time...wow. When I read the manga of this, I was actually upset that not everything in the manga made it into the game {for those of you who haven't read the manga and wish to, leave me a message and I'll point you in the right direction). Going through this game, and using different rings to power yourself up is also very fun. My favourite part of this game... MAPLE! And apart from that, I liked the end battle against Onox. It's always a little difficult, if you don't have the right rings.

5. Oracle of Ages: A fun game, but slightly less points than Oracle of Seasons because of the sheer difficulty/obscurity of some few puzzles. For example, that roundabout on level 3, Moonlight Grotto: I could not figure how to get up the top of it for months! I was literally stuck to left, right and bottom. When I finally figured it out, I was ready to die of humiliation. That experience, among the time travelling in Mermaid's Cave and the reuse of Jabu-Jabu's belly, left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth when talking about this game. Regardless, I am working my way through it again right now, up to Mermaid's Cave now. My favourite bit of this game...MAPLE! Apart from that, I quite liked Ancient Tomb's Ramrock and Blue Stalfos. I also liked Veran, but not as much as Onox. On a side note, it's quite interesting how the Nunn Highlands are always changing to suit your animal.

6. Link's Awakening: A classic plot which I wish I could be working through right now, but due to..something..., my game screwed up and I can't play anymore. Anyway, as memory serves Link's Awakening was the second Zelda game I played, shortly before Majora's Mask. It was a hard game for me to finish, the Eagle's Tower giving me considerable trouble. Despite that, I found myself drawn in by the plot, which made me feel a little downhearted, being forced to destroy the island to suceed (I'll talk about this in the manga section). There's humour to be found throughout the whole island, particularly if you're a Mario fan. A classic moment I remember was with the Bow-Wow fighting the monkey which builds the bridge to Richard's castle. Ah, I was entering that place for ages and doing that. But, anyway, the final game...

7. A Link to the Past: Don't think I feel any resentment to ALTTP, with it being at the bottom of my played list (I WISH I could play more of the games). I enjoyed ALTTP considerably, but was met with the inconvenience of having to play it on GBA. Why is this an inconvenience? Well, you see, every time I turned my copy off, the game would delete itself, and I would be forced to restart EVERYTHING. So, utilizing the charge ability of the SP, I was forced to get through it by leaving the GBA on until I finally got to the final battle against Ganon. Then, what did I do? Instinct took over, and I TURNED THE GAME BOY OFF. Immediately, I was turning it back on, hoping it hadn't happened, but the message said "DATA DELETED. YOU SUCK. START AGAIN." Well, it didn't really say that, of course, it said something about corrupt data. Still, I never played it again. I just cannot be bothered to do that all at once. If I could get a working copy of the game, but, I'd be very happy to finish the game again. My favourite part of this game was probably the excellent sound effects I encountered, almost rivalling games like Ocarina of Time. My favourite moment in this game I think would be fighting Blind, although I went through hell trying to figure out how to get to him.

Manga
Well, now I've discussed the games of Zelda I love so dearly, and now I'll talk to you a little about the manga! As most of us are probably Australians/Americans, you've probably encountered the same problem as me: DUE TO LACK OF DEMAND, COMPANIES REFUSE TO PRINT ZELDA MANGA IN ENGLISH.

However, it could be this reason: Australia SUCKS! when it comes to manga supplying. Oh well, I'll tell you a little about the mangas I have read. Just try and guess which one's at the top of the list.

Before I start, however, I have one small complaint about each and every Zelda Manga. This is it: It's there, then it's gone. It goes by in moments, and leaves you begging for more. It's great, but that feeling drags down a brilliant series of manga by a bit. I should also mention that the mangas support the idea of "Multiple Links". The Link in OoT and MM is one, while the Link in Oos and OoA is another. The Link in LA is another, the Link in ALTTP and the Link in The Minish Cap are also two different Links. Anyone who had played the games may have already figured this out, but it's worth pointing out. Anyway, here we go:

1. Link's Awakening: Well, did you expect this? Probably not. You probably expected Ocarina of Time, but if you correctly predicted this, well done to you!

Link's Awakening is one of my most favourite mangas I have ever read. The plot is very much like the game, but now we have the introduction of a fairy called Felicia, who is my favourite character! She fills in basically the same role as Navi or Tatl did, but her personality allowed for a lot of humour in the story, as well as heart. Rather than Link, as he did in the game, reading the prophecy of what will happen to Koholint Island when the Wind Fish awakens, shrugging and going "oh well, might as well get on with it", Link actually refuses to go through with collecting any more of the Instruments, and attempts to escape the island with Marin, who shares a much more romantic relationship with Link than she does in the game. However, after they fail to escape (some type of barrier stopping them), Marin talks to Link about how no matter how good a dream is, eventually the dreamer must awaken. With this advice, even knowing what his advancement would bring, Link proceeds to gather the final instruments. The relationship between Link and Felicia could also be described as romantic, and after reading the manga, I actually find myself unsure as to who he would have chosen, had he a choice (In the end, I say Felicia, because unusual romances draw my interest). However, after defeating Nightmare, it became clear he did not: the Wind Fish awoke, Koholint Island vanished, and everything dissapeared, Felicia and Marin included. No Marin seagull, like at the end of the game, just the Wind Fish and Link. I found this manga the best of all of them, a story of adventure, choice, humour, darkness and even love all at the same time. I was, however, a bit sad by the fact that the people Link had befriended were just...gone. Forgive me if my other manga recounts aren't as good as this.

2. Oracle of Seasons: We're mixing up this order! Oracle of Seasons manga featured an entirely new backstory for Link, him living with his grandparents in Hyrule, and when he came across the Triforce, it sent him to the land of Holodrum!

Unlike the game version, not a single dungeon, besides Onox's Castle was featured! You might think "What?! That's stupid!" But, could you really sit around and just watch Link do exactly what he did on the game? No. I couldn't, at least. That's why the manga is like this instead.

I very much enjoyed the humour of this story, the jokes made me laugh when i read them. I never knew Onox's motto was "To be a gentleman at all times"! Don't worry, it's not all about humour, those who don't like the sounds of this very much. Of course, to those who have read my page thus far and know of my favourite Oracle series character, you know one of the reasons I put this above the OoA manga: Maple! She's a main character in this manga! She's almost exactly the way I pictured her, but the tribute I did to her is more "fun-loving". I was surprised that Ricky became a main character to the manga. Now THERE was a twist I didn't expect! Despite the surprise, I feel it worked out well, and I was very amused with Moosh's depiction. I was dissapointed, but, not to see Dimitri. The depiction of Link's grandfather in this manga also made me laugh, but it reminds me of someone else I've read about before, but for the love of pancakes, I can't remember who.

Oh well, if you've read the multi-ending adventure book of this and think "Geez, nothing can beat this!" then read this instead! I own the mentioned book, and I can easily say the manga is far better.

3: Majora's Mask: This manga is very interesting, and is definately one of my top ones. It suffers, but, from being just one volume of manga. I wish it had been longer, maybe gone into depth on some of Link's sidequests in this series. Of all the mangas, this one had that chance more than any of them! As it is, it focuses on Guess Which Quest: Anju and Kafei's! I'm sure you guessed that before I said it.

Like the others, Majora's Mask has a certain amount of humour in it, humour that goes very well with the series, but UNLIKE the other mangas, this one has a definate undertone. You really get the feeling that Majora has no pity for anything, and would kill anything that dared to oppose it. When Link becomes Fierce Deity (fans rejoice!), Link is shown to be little better than the monster itself. It is unclear, but it appears to me that Link ruthlessly strikes down the Children of the Moon, but it only shows the masks being destroyed. I believe that he killed the children as well, simply due to Tatl's reaction. In the end, Anju is another of my favourite characters, so I was pleased with the amount of time she got given. However, I was upset that neither Romani or Cremia were featured at all in the manga (another extension possibility!) besides one drawing.

I strongly suggest you find a copy of this manga! (Ask, and I'll show you where to find it).

4: Ocarina of Time: At last, here's the manga you expected to see in slot one! Why isn't it in slot one? It lacks the depth of Link's Awakening, the laugh-out loud quality of oracle of Seasons and the dark interest of Majora's Mask. Despite this, Dark Link fans rejoice! Dark Link makes an appearance as the boss of the Shadow Temple instead of Bongo Bongo. We also see a Dark Epona! Not as interesting, but she is there.

Another humour-injected manga of Link's travels, we are given an altered version of Link's adventure through time (apparently, Mido still wets his bed...). It follows the same basic storyline, but with many small changes. For example, Mido accompanies Link into the Forest Temple and the Deku Tree, Gohma can talk, Ruto says 'Zora' at the end of her sentences and the obtaining of the Mirror Shield is altered. There isn't really very much to say about this manga apart from that, but if I find something else worth mentioning, rest assured it'll arrive here!

One last thing: I found it very amusing that Link's self-proclained "Ultimate Attack" is only capable of cutting grass up until the final battle.

5: The Minish Cap: I love Ganondorf. I think he's an awesome villain, one of a kind even with his "I'll take over the world, and turn it into my dark paradise" agenda. However, I also love seeing different villains taking the spotlight. Which is why I enjoyed the Minish Cap. I feel as if I missed out on a large amount of information, as I have never had a chance to play the game, and like in every manga, the fights flew past. As mentioned, I enjoyed Vaati in the spotlight. A new enemy allows for a more interesting storyline, no matter how awesome ganondorf is. After all, we all know Ganon's agenda, it's mentioned in every game. I'll admit, I put this manga off for as long as I could. I couldn't help but think that with cartoony graphics, it would be terrible. Luckily, I was wrong, and thanks to this, I now want the Minish Cap and the Wind Waker. I think it's blatantly obvious that Link and Zelda have, in this manga, a definate romance, even if it's not full-blown yet (trust me, it never will be. A kiss is the best the makers will give, and that's the way it should be).

I think my favourite part of this was seeing Anju again. I loved Anju, from Majora's Mask. She wasn't the same person, but I still got a thrill, thinking "Hey, it's Anju!" After Link tried to look up her skirt...well, he deserved what he got. Of course, this is not including new villain Vaati. Sure, he goes back to being a good guy at the end, but it was a fun ride.

6: Oracle of Ages: This one was constantly knocked down from the higher position above it, with me finding another, more deserving manga. Don't think this manga is garbage because of that, it's just a little...less engaging than the other four above. Like Oracle of Seasons, the basic plot is the same, but with no dungeons. Unlike Oracle of Seasons, we are given a look at a mysterious stranger in the past, who helps Link on his adventure. Who is this stranger? Well, I could tell you, but if you want it to be a mystery, stop reading right here. The stranger is Link's ancestor, and he possesses many of Link's great qualities, barring of course the personality. The closest person I can identify this ancestory to is Sheik. No, not Princess Zelda, Sheik.

Like the others, humour is a factor, as we are shown an Impa with almost superhuman strength (who knew she could carry a cow over her head?) I would reccomend reading this, even though this has the shortest description. I'll expand it later, for all those who want to hear more.

Of course, there are more mangas. I am reading The Minish Cap and ALTTP right now, but I've only got up to the claiming of the Master Sword in ALTTP. I've almost finished the Minish Cap, and I'll be sure to tell you all about it when I'm done. Sad to say, as of the date I write this, there is no manga for Twilight Princess or The Wind Waker.

Zelda Timeline
Zelda Timeline, the most head-exploding subject on this entire Wiki. I believe in multiple Links too, by the way. It's the only way this series could even be PLAUSIBLE continuity-wise. However, the retold legend idea is interesting...

As it currently stands, I have not played all of the games, but here's where my experiences have led me thus far.

I think that Ocarina of Time came first. Out of all the games I've played, it seems like this is the one that would preceed them all. However, someone who read the first sentence is even now writing a message, telling me "NO. YOU'RE WRONG.", remember that I have yet to play everything. Now, I think Majora's Mask came after ALL of the events of Ocarina of Time. To people who think he went to Termina before obtaining the Master Sword, I say this: He was looking for Navi! If he hadn't taken up the Master Sword yet, she would still be hanging out with him, filling the air with "Hey!" and "Listen!" As it was, when Ocarina of Time was said and done, the Master Sword returned to its pedestal, and Navi bade Link a silent farewell, leaving for parts unknown. Now, why he went to Termina I do not know, but I assume he was just looking everywhere, and this is where he wound up. As a child, I always pictured Termina as another continent to Hyrule, but now I hear all this talk of alternate dimensions. So, I don't know exactly how that goes. Anyway, Majora's Mask follows Ocarina of Time, and that's what I believe.

Now, as for Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, I believe that these Links are all the same. Well, for the Oracles, it's very obvious, but I believe that LA Link is this Link because of how he travels around on a boat. Don't even mention Wind Waker or Phantom Hourglass yet. In each and every game, Link has to collect eight hidden items, to unlock...something. An egg, a memory, or full power, it varies. Still, this bit is kind of...sketchy right now.

As for Twilight Princess, I think that this Link is an alternate Link as well, but this game follows Majora's Mask. Alright, here's what I've come to believe. The events of Ocarina of Time happened, Ganon was sealed away and Link, the OoT Link, travelled away, looking for Navi. After a long time, during which the Link of OoT passed away, the Sages decided to execute Ganondorf for some reason, likely he was becoming powerful enough to stand a chance of escaping. After being banished into the Twilight realm following his botched execution, a bit more time passed, and finally the new Link emerged, ready for his epic quest across Hyrule and the Twilight realm. And yes, I believe the Hero's Shade to be the Link of OoT and MM. As for being his father...well, maybe not. I think he's related, definately, just not sure exactly where he fits.

The careful viewer, who has perservered to this point on my page, may notice I have not mentioned A Link to the Past. See here, my copy does not work properly, and I am quite unwilling to finish it again, only to have it delete itself. When I get a new copy, I'll write about it. However, just so I can say something, I think that this might be an Alternate Link. Don't quote me on that yet.

As for the Wind Waker, which I have not played but am attempting to obtain, so far it sounds to me like an alternate future, kind of a "What If" scenario. I'll write more on Wind Waker when I obtain it.

My Contributions
My contributions to this wiki called Zelda Wiki? I'd like to say everything manga, but I'd be lying if I did. I'm intending to put up a page for each seperate manga in time, however. But, until then, I'll just list some of the stuff I've actually done.
 * general grammer fixing of several articles
 * added general information to several articles, notably manga information.
 * added little known strategies or glitches to a few pages
 * rewriting of the Gomess article
 * rewriting of every boss article for Oracle of Ages besides Pumpkin Head.
 * merging Sun Mask, Moon Mask and Couple Mask into one page.
 * creation of a few various pages.
 * Started adding strategy sections to the Oracle of Ages/Seasons creatures.

Current: Bringing everything associated with the Oracle of Ages/Seasons pages into a respectable light. They're so little owned, that most of their non-main characters either don't have articles, or have articles three sentences long. Good thing I own both.

Minor updates to the Super Smash Bros. character pages. Many pages talk as if the game hasn't even come out yet, anywhere.

Fixing up certain image boxes created by using the |thumb option, such as this one:



I cannot stand boxes like this that don't have a quote in them. They look so unprofessional.

Playing the Oracle games through again, searching for decent quotes for certain articles. I know I'll find a few.

Friends
It's been a while since I joined this group, but I haven't tried to make any friends until very recently! I don't know why, possibly because it makes me aloof with a mysterious sense of coolness...

...or maybe it's because I'm shy, or for some other reason. Meh, either way I'm starting a friends list.

End of Page
Well, for now, this is the end of my page, so I'll leave this note:

Even with the knowledge I possess, I am like anyone else, capable of making mistakes. If it is small, like grammar, anyone could fix it, but if it is large, like incorrect quotes or wrong details, please bring it up in my talk.

So, to conclude my page, what should I do? Illustrate the quote at the top of my page with a picture? I wish I could (my artisic skill is challenged by drawing stick figures. My skill lies in storywriting). Any artists who actually wish to draw it, contact me! I'd love to see it as a picture.

No, if that ever happens, count on seeing it here, but in the meantime, I'll leave you with another set of quotes which probably never happened.

"So, you two tried sealing the doors with passwords instead of keys?"

- Ganondorf

"Yeah, but it didn't quite work out. I tried setting the password to something he'd never guess, but he guessed it."

- Vaati

"Wait...don't tell me. You set the password to 'Password', didn't you?"

- Fox McCloud

"It's so obvious, that nobody could ever guess it!"

- Ashei

"Obviously, you two need to learn what makes a good password..."

- Richard

"I predate existance itself."

- Mini Freezard
