Hey there. I am Viral, also known as Insizor on some websites, and Ben in "the real world". I am an active member on both the Zelda Universe and ZeldaInformer forums. I am also a member of The Bombers Writing Team at ZeldaInformer. I live in Melbourne Australia.

2009 marks my final year of secondary school, which means I will be busy with homework and hence more inactive around the web. I am currently studying English, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. I plan on going to The University of Melbourne (provided I do well enough this year) to study Science and Mathematics following this year. I am undecided as to whether I should take a year off before going to Uni.

My love for the Zelda series began in 1999 when I received Ocarina of Time for Christmas. I had so much fun with the game, and this lead me to play A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening. I continued to purchase the games from then on, buying new releases as soon as possible to play them. I began looking into Zelda Theorising in late 2007, and became a member of both ZeldaInformer and Zelda Universe in early 2008. I started out by reading through various threads, contributing where I saw fit. In late August 2008, I decided I should write a theory article and post it to the public. I wrote about the Oocca from Twilight Princess, and the article was well received at the Zelda Universe forums. From there, I became more and more active in theorising, talking to various well-known writers, and I decided I would like to continue to entertain the Zelda community by writing articles for The Bombers at ZeldaInformer. I wrote a piece on the Master Sword in late December 2008, and while it needed work, I was accepted.
