A small introduction
Hey everyone. I'm Smitie, the only female Moderator at Zeldadungeon since 31 december 2008. I moderate the General Discussion. Born 30 january 1990 in the Netherlands. I currently live in Hoeven (a small town in the south-west) in the weekends and in Nijmegen during the week for my study. I finished my gymnasium and I'm now studying Biology at the Radboud University in Nijmegen.

What are your hobbies?

Like most zelda fans, my main hobby is playing videogames (how original). I also like to hang around the forums, write stories and listen to music.

Zelda
My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time. I found it with Majora's Mask and several other games on a flee-market, but sadly I only had enough money to buy one of the games. I didn't know what Zelda was back then, but for unknown reason I chose for Ocarina of Time and I still don't regret it. Now my Zelda collection has grown to 6 games. I currently have A link to the past (VC), Ocarina of Time (VC), The Windwaker (GC), Twilight Princess (Wii), Link's Crossbow training (Wii) and Phantom Hourglass (NDS).

Zelda Dungeon
I don't know how I ended up at ZeldaDungeon and when I became a member. I think I found it when I was searching for Zelda wallpapers 3 or 4 years ago. Eventhough my English was horrible at the time, I registered on the forums. After half an hour I finished my first thread in the old introduction forum. I remember the first response was from Onilink89....and it was completely in Dutch. It kind of surprised me, because I didn't expect a Dutch member on an American forum. Since then I hang around the forums daily and I made a lot of friends.

I considered leaving Zeldadungeon when the latest forum just started. It was all new, empty and I started to lose interest in the Zelda series. I tried registering on a Dutch zelda forum and reviving my account on another Dutch game forum, but it didn't have the same atmosphere as Zeldadungeon. I came back and when I posted in the shoutbox after several months of silence I was welcomed by other members and it really felt like coming back home. Zeldadungeon really has the best community. Everyone is different, but we all have one thing in common and that's our love for the Zelda series. I see it has my second home now and I'm very proud I'm part of the forum staff.
