Today's game is Ocarina of Time. I went and got the Master Sword today and got this screenshot of it in it's pedestal. Getting it again reminded me so much of why Ocarina of Time is one of my favorite games. The scene where you get the Master Sword is so well executed that i can't help but love it. The Soundtrack is excellent and even though it's not really setup, it does an amazing job at making you feel that this sword, is important. And the scene where link pulls it out? Just as good. Though, i might be biased because growing up i was a huge fan of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Seeing Link pull the Master Sword out though is amazing, and it couples well with how much i love his Adult Look. The center part is perfect and he rocks that green tunic so damn well. And pairing it with the Hylian Shield? Amazing. Perfect even. I could spend all day ranting about how much i love OoT Link's design if i had the time.

Coming back as an Adult, Sheik had their foot stuck in the pedestal while i was looking to get a screenshot of them chilling their. I've opted to believe they in fact are standing their not to stop Link from going back in time, but instead because their foot is stuck and they don't want Link to catch on. Because that would be embarrassing (i know i'd be embarrassed if i got my foot stuck in a rock of some holy importance).

My first stop was the Hookshot and the Sun's Song. While getting the later, i had the absolute privilege of seeing the redead's again. They're still just as creepy as the last time i saw them. Absolutely terrifying how they can just freeze you and leave you powerless. Even when they're stunned it spooks me a little bit to go near them.

I ended today with getting the Steel Boots and going to mess around in the Water Temple. I swear i remember being able to do it first instead of the Forest temple, but i must have remembered wrong because i ran into a spot i'm pretty sure i need the bow for since the hookshot wasn't working. I didn't feel like picking up the Forest Temple with the current time so i stepped away there. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow assuming my friends don't steal me away to play something else (or my attention doesn't get sidetracked like what seems to happen so often)

Heck yeah. Love replaying OoT. It's good every time.

You gotta play Wind Waker next. Truly the GOAT

I played the Wii U remaster a few years ago over the summer, and I absolutely loved it. I was ashamed to say I wrote it off initially as not for me because I just couldn’t vibe with the opening’s length (compared to OoT’s “Get in this Tree, kill a Big Ass Spider, Get out”). But once I spent some time working to get past that? God. Amazing. It was one of those games where i actually felt lost after the credits rolled. Very few games do that to me.

Yeah doesn't happen for me very often either, but happened twice to me in about a month now. Finished E33 recently and it was a hell of a ride the entire time. But then after that I went on to play Nier Replicant for the first time. Damn, I need a therapist after games this hard hitting.
