I love the 25th Anniversary CD, too. I knew what was playing once the first bell rang.

Anyway, my opinions on Skyward Sword can be seen next week with the release of my review next week on the main page. I will say I do think it's the best Zelda yet, though. Even better than Ocarina of Time.

  1.) No answer for meh.
  
  2.) Probably the N64 style. While I loved TP's realistic style and SS's painting look, I just like how the classics looked, especially on OoT 3D. Not really sure why, I just do.
  
  3.) Does Din know? XD
  
  4.) Cuccos. (By the way, it's the Oocca, not Ooccoo's. Ooccoo was an Oocca.)
  
  5.) Like-likes.
  
  6.) No (with the exception of "New Hyrule"). The landscape is different to keep the series looking fresh. If it looked the same every time, it'd get stale. As far as the landscape changing over time, that's true, but mountains wouldn't move to a slightly different area.
  
  7.) The end of Zelda II when the ancient Zelda who just woke up and doesn't know who Link is kisses Link. That was just a "What the hell?" moment.
  
  8.) Probably the Sage of Light. Not sure why.
  
  9.) A Deku Princess. Nah, jk, I really have no idea.
  - JuicieJ
    
    Keaton Quiz time!
    
    1.) Just gonna take a random guess and say 5. (Well, crap.)
    
    2.) It's Twilight Princess, but I (somehow) can't remember the name of the tune.
    
    3.) No idea. It's no secret I suck at the ZD questions. (Oh, crap, Xinn's gonna be mad for M pronouncing her name wrong.)
    
    4.) 5.
    
    5.) Wow, I'm out of it today. I cannot remember.
    
    6.) Malon in OoT! (Got that before the question was over.)
    
    7.) I know this! Zelda and Metroid! (Those are his top two.)
    
    8.) The Fire Arrow. (Hey, I'm back in the zone!)
    
    9.) It's the Ikana Castle from Majora's Mask, but Colonel would have beat me to the answer, getting up 4 to 7 (against me).
    
    10.) It was released for the Wii first, but was supposed to be released for GameCube only originally instead of just first.
    
    Wow. Colonel would have beaten me this time around. That's the first time I ever would have lost the Keaton Quiz. The questions were just not my type today!! D:

      exactly how my play through went…
      by the way are you signed up to be on it?
      cause you should be.
      - JuicieJ
        
        Yes, but I'm on a hiatus for my premiere until I get a laptop. My parents' computer's USB plug-in is goofing up to where my mic won't register. :/
      - MajoraMan
        
        bummer… :/

Sitting helps when your in Hero Mode, since you can’t get hearts as easily.

  Looks like they haven't figured out yet that you can heal by sitting down.
The Triforce

Ughhhh, I know this is random but………does anyone know where Jakarmar, Kukiel's dad in SS, went during the day? I talked to Kukiel's mom and she said that he goes wandering around town and I tried to find him but I couldn't!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me!
- mysteriousLink
  
  I think you can find him near Light Tower.
  But I may be wrong
  Merry Christmas!

This may have been my favorite podcast yet!
Pizzaman!

I really liked SS, except it was missing a few things that made it feel like a Zelda game.

there's no castle
There isn't a big open world. (The sky just wasn't that open for me.)
They don't even have a day and night change. And I was really looking forward to seeing the sun rise over the clouds while flying.
