User:BigGoronSword



Hey, my name is Marco, but I'm more commonly known online as BigGoronSword. Time after time people keep asking me why did I call myself BGS. It's quite simple really; After playing Ocarina of Time I fell in love with the Goron race (we share some similar qualities and personalities) and so I wanted to have a screen name that reflected upon them. If you ever find a member with this name at a different blog, forum, etc... 95% of the time it's me.

History
I found ZeldaUniverse by luck actually; I was looking for a walkthrough for Oracle of Ages, the game I was playing at the time. I visited the mainsite on multiple occasions for information but didn't officially register until October 18th, 2003 when I discovered the forum. At first I was a wallflower, but soon made my own niche in the Zelda section help threads and discussions. I was never officially adopted, but Lioness took me in as one of her own. She became my mentor, and I personify that in my signature to this very day. Helping others just comes naturally to me, so I quickly took the chance of becoming adopter. I've adopted and helped dozens of members in my day, but it soon paid off to help out at a higher degree. On February 22nd, 2005 the mods introduced two new members among their ranks: GoldenChaos (the current owner of ZU) and myself. As the months flew by, I continued my duties and was recognized again for an opening to become a Super Moderator. Since then, I've stayed on this platteau, happy as can be.

Lately ZU's latest project has been the revamp, and I've contributed in it a few ways. Not only did I donate a handsome sum towards the cause, I've also volunteered the extra time and effort to rewrite everything (with the exception of the walkthrough) in the A Link to the Past section. When it comes to the layout itself, I (like many other mods) put my two cents in for ZU's future design.



Personality
I can be the knight in shining armor, but if you cross me, I'll cut you. Haha, no really, I'm generally a nice and helpful fellow who believes in giving people second chances (to an extent). Don't believe me? Here is what Anime_Queen has to say about it:

Laughter is the Best Medicine
If there's one thing you have to know about me, it's this: I love to laugh. It's why my favorite quotes are "My number one love in life is laughter" and "Life is full of drama, so comedy is there to balance it out". Hence i love watching comedians and reading webcomics. Right now my favorite comedians would be... and my favorite webcomics are...

Contact
If you ever want to contact me, I'll tell you this, it isn't going to be via any kind of instant messenger (once in a blue moon, but don't count on it). Either drop a line at biggoronsword@homtail.com or send a Private Message (PM) to me at ZU. If I have online access, I'm most likely in one of those two places, so your chances are high
