What Would You Do?

[shadowlink626]

What would you do if you were put in Links situation in OoT? (Which in my case is the begining of it all)

i would probably hesitate a little but would probably go on with the quest. but i think i wouldnt be any match for ganondorf lol

[angelkid]

I would probably die in the Great Deku Tree. I'd die in the bit where you have to jump down onto the spider webs so that you fall through to the under ground bit, I'd probably mis-calculate it and jump either too far or not far enough.

[Zemen]

Well, for me, I am extremely bored with life. If some sort of adventure like that was thrust upon me or placed upon my shoulders I would jump at the chance to take that adventure.

[peanutjoepap]

I would help the deku tree, but after I took 3 steps in to dondongos (I don't know if I spelled it right) cavern, I would then cash in the spiritual stone for a butt load of money, change my name to Bill and get a different pair of clothes to disguise my self from ganondorf (and so I don't have to look like tingle).

[knowlee]

Well honestly I'd be pretty scared about the whole idea of me having to save Hyrule, but if I knew that I was the only one who could do, then I would probably go on with the quest. Although that wouldn't prevent me from getting terrified from the dungeons. :D

I'd be the kind of hero that would be sitting in the fetal position whenever I started fighting the final boss of the dungeon. Heck, I'd probably be in the fetal position once I entered the dungeon! :xd:


Man, I'd just die, flat-out. I wouldn't be able to take the kinds of hits Link can, unless Heart Containers actually magically shield you from injury and pain until they run out. Again, if it were real, you could get away with more, and certain enemies wouldn't really be able to hurt you (collision damage with a bubble?), but all in all, I'd die easy. Some bosses, like Gohma, King Dodongo, and Barinade have "safe zones" where you can avoid damage, and take your time attacking.

Dude, me and you both. My threshold for pain is extremely low. :xd:

[Shadsie]

:( I likely would not get very far because I am tone-deaf, not musically inclined and wouldn't be able to play either of the ocarinas. :ocarina:

Otherwise, I'm not sure. I'm quite a weak person, I think - physically and emotionally. I'm not an invalid, I love the outdoors, but I think to go on Link's quest, I could use being in better shape. I imagine that I would be afraid of many things, especially dungeons that involve a lot of falling and being eaten alive by boss-creatures. I would like to think that having a "mandate from the gods" quite directly to do the task would give me enough of that "feel of calling" to carry on, though. A large part of me *longs*... *aches* to do something brave and beautiful and to have people trusting and depending on me that I am able to protect - so... maybe I would jump at the call? I do not know. All I do know is that I believe that courage isn't an abscense of fear, but overcoming it. I don't know that I'd have the courage, but, maybe, given something worthwhile to protect, I'd gain it? I'm honestly am not sure I'm as good as that, but we all like to try to think the best of oursevlves.

Now, I can definitely imagine myself trying to save the skulls and skins of the monsters I slay - leathers are useful and skulls are neat, especially to me because I paint/make artwork out of animal skulls. I'd love to have the skull of Volvagia in my home. *Grin.*

[MrMosley]

I would take it. I think it would be do-able. Of course, I would probably have someone make me a black tunic to wear instead of that green one, but I think it would be pretty fun. And if that were all real, you could get away with a lot more than you can in the game. Like the jumping on the spiderweb thing in the Deku Tree wouldn't be a problem. All you would have to do is cut the web with your sword.

I wouldn't bs around with all the gold skulltulas and things like that, but I would probably go for the Biggoron's Sword. I probably would leave out the ice arrows too, unless I was just kinda bored. That dungeon was too much for an item that you really have no use for.

[Golem]

Interesting topic. This could make some pretty funny fanfics, I think.


I'd love to have the skull of Volvagia in my home. *Grin.*

Win.

I'd probably ignore any call to duty. Someone else will take care of it! I'd just sit around and hang out with the shop clerk all day. It could be like Kokiri Clerks! Then I'd probably get kicked out of Nevernever Land for going through puberty. I'm hard on my luck in Castle Town, and the first victim to become a Redead. From there, I start my career as an aspiring opera singer but--alas!--it all comes to a tragic end. I try singing for a wandering adventurer, probably someone responsible, who takes me out (IE, kills me!) with either a Kokiri Sword or the Biggoron Sword. (Or could someone else obtain the Master Sword?)

Oh well. I had a good run!

[Crimson Prince]

I'd accept... ! But after screaming my head off and negating the fact that I was chosen to save Hyrule. After leaving the Kokiri Forest? My first objective would be to kill Navi and get a new fairy. Either that or I'd just kill her and keep calling Saria with my ocarina for advice. ^_^ If all else fails... I would use Fire.

As for the temples, I'd probably would want to snipe my enemies all the time if possible. Sub-boss and boss battles? Run around flailing and trying to think of a way to kill them. (... Do you seriously think the bosses will pop up like in OoT? Heck no. They will probably eat you alive after you open the door to their chamber)

[shadowlink626]

Crimson Prince read some books lol get some imagination :p

[TVTMaster]

Man, I'd just die, flat-out. I wouldn't be able to take the kinds of hits Link can, unless Heart Containers actually magically shield you from injury and pain until they run out. Again, if it were real, you could get away with more, and certain enemies wouldn't really be able to hurt you (collision damage with a bubble?), but all in all, I'd die easy. Some bosses, like Gohma, King Dodongo, and Barinade have "safe zones" where you can avoid damage, and take your time attacking.

And did I mention that nobody in the world can throw a boomerang with enough accuracy to return every time and throw it hard enough to bean enemies in the head and not go off course? Maybe it's magic, or something. I also can't use a slingshot or bow particularly well, and can't lift a Megaton Hammer, or take bomb shrapnel easily, or hang on to a hookshot at those speeds, or really use most of the items the game makes you use.

Heck, I can't even swing a sword fast enough to hit anything.

[Shadow Wolfo]

If I heard I would have to save the earth. I would fly to mars...so I wouldn't be on earth anymore.

If I was to agree to this I would stock up on 50 Flamethrowers. :nod:

[x-Link-x]

I would....
Yeah I would go along with it. After all, Link wasn't anything special as far as human abilities came along. Sure I would be scared at the start and come close to dying countless times but that's the whole point of having courage: to be able to do things even if one is unsure or scared. That's what it means to me either way.
I would such a wild ride, I'd say xD

[Crimson Prince]

Crimson Prince read some books lol get some imagination :p

Oh, I DO have imagination. I was just thinking in the more realistic aspect of this. Because, let's face it... If it happened to you in real life... You'd pee your pants. =P

[KrazyKyuubi]

I would sit in a corner and cry...i'm not the couragous type...

[shadowlink626]

lol well i dont think i'd pee my pants but i'd be really scared. im not that much of a coward :p

[Shadow Wolfo]

Yeah I would probably do this though anyway. I would have to have the same Items.I would probably do MM instead though. More realistic but stressfull.

[dark-link]

i would go along with it but id be going crazy with the sword and hookshot XD id get sidetracked most of the time and ive always wanted to be needed. so this would boost my self esteem a million

[Deku Scrub]

I would probably die in the Great Deku Tree. I'd die in the bit where you have to jump down onto the spider webs so that you fall through to the under ground bit, I'd probably mis-calculate it and jump either too far or not far enough.
Same. Except I'd probably consider all of this, and, seeing that I have a rather bad paranoia of heights, just leave.

But since Link could survive that, then Zelda logic would imply I could too. So I probably would go with the whole adventure. I could use some excitement.

[Axle the Beast]

Well...

I would have been living the the forest for a while, so I would likely jump at the chance to save the Deku Tree. As for being ridiculed for not having a fairy... I wouldn't give a crap. :P

When it came down to me having to save the world, I would possibly be reluctant, but I wouldn't hesitate much if it meant helping everyone in the world that much. It's too big for me to not bear it, regardless of how heavy a burden it would be. I would also dig the adventuring. :P

[Gohma]

If I was Link, I would have get crushed by those giant rocks near the Kokiri Sword, just like it happened to me in the game. And as I'm not as thought as Link, I don't think I would survive a 5 tons boulder crush.

But let's say I got really lucky, and that I finally manage to get a sword and a shield. Maybe I would have done the two first dungeons of the game (yeah let's say I got really really really lucky, Gohma died falling from the ceiling and Gorons managed to beat the second dungeon by themself)
It would have end here.
I really hate water, and I'd probably drown in Jabu Jabu's belly. And even if I could beat this dungeon, there's the water temple!
...

I hope that no talking tree will one day tell me that I must save the world. :(

[ChargewithSword]

I would charge head forward, the thing that seperates reality (where I am a coward and unwilling to fight) and the fantasy worlds (where I would be brave) is the fact I would have a means to properly defend myself instead of worrying about my butt everyday.

[Smitie]

I think Ganondorf rules over Hyrule a lot longer. I have terrible card reading skills (I ended up in a garden of a castle instead of the camp site when I was on school camp :P) so I will get lost a lot of times. I think Rauru will do :facepalm: a lot when he sees me completly lost on hyrule field or when I lose my sword again :xd:.

[basement24]

I would start out the quest as it happens in OoT, but wouldn't get very far at all because I'm deathly afraid of spiders. Even if I got past the large skultullas in the Deku Tree by some strange miracle, there's no way I'd survive meeting Gohma. Especially when it comes to the little larva Gomhas (Gohmi?) that are hatched. Ug. Since there no way to escape the boss rooms without beating the boss, I'd probably spend my final moments there.

At least this way, there'd be no Hero of Time, so the people in the backstory of Wind Waker wouldn't have anyone to wait for at all. Sure, they'd still be flooded, but at least they wouldn't be waiting for me to arrive since they'd never know of me to begin with! :P

[carl]

Probably I can beat first dungeon and defeat Gohma but stalchild or redeads in royal tomb will kill me.

[Skull_Kid]

Of course that I would(at least) try to accomplish the task, even if I had to die at the end, or during it, I would try to complete it, if I knew that I was the only one who could ever do it and that everyone's lives depended on that.

[Petman1325]

Well, if I had to deal with what Link did...

Yeah, I cannot tolerate pain of any sort. I'm not a sissy. I can take a few punches to the arm and such, but to have my skin ripped off by a Deku Baba or to be stabbed by Gohma or be set on fire and such, well, I couldn't deal with that. I'm not a very strong person (My max bench is 60 lbs.), so I couldn't go far. My aim is also a bit off, so I couldn't use a bow and arrow, slingshot, such.

I would be intimidated by the bosses and their large stature, as well. I mean, I can't really go up against something 5 times my size! I would probably freak out with every mini-boss and boss. I'm not fast of a runner, so I also couldn't really catch up with bosses like Big Octo and such.

I could do what Link would do in OoT, but I just wouldn't be sane after the adventure. Of course, I would be thrilled to have the bosses dead, though (a game controller is hard enough, but with an actual sword?). ;)

[lonely_moon]

This question all depends on whether or not you can follow the game's logic (e.g. falling an amazing height and only taking about half a heart of damage).

And even if I can follow the game's logic, it'd still be insanely difficult. I'd take A LOT of fairies with me and spend a lot of time practising with my items, but all the preparation in the world's not gonna help me face a ReDead or a Stalfos, which I can barely handle when playing the game (unless the Triforce of Courage covers that...). I'd imagine game logic would also make up for the fact that I'm a total weakling and I pass out after running 100m.

If I can't follow game logic, well, I'd just stab myself with the Kokiri Sword as soon as I got it.

All that aside, the adventuring would still be awesome. :)

[StalfosSlayer]

Call "The Great" Mido's bluff and get him to do it.

[ResidentZelda]

Lol I wouldn't even get to the kokiri sword lol XD that big boulder would have killed me XD. and crawling through that hole.... I would have been stuck in there for like 3 hours before I could get out, I would have been stuck because my hips wouldn't want to pass XD

[NorthApple]

Hyrule's Supply of healing fairies would probably run out if I were to do that quest- I am seriously that bad at dodging stuff. xDD
As for actually setting out in the first place, I think my inner-curious-adventure-seeking-child would probably take over and I'd give it a try with hardly any hesitation, actually. (Ingnorance is bliss)
Would spend days in the great deku tree trying to convince myself to jump off that ledge though >.<

And as for returning 7 year in the future, I'd end up never leaving the Temple of Time- no way could I get past the ReDeads in Castle Town, I'm terrified stiff of Mummified things DDDD :
Sheik would totally have to drag me past them! And then come with me during the Shadow Temple D:

And I suck at Tennis- Ganondorf would beat me badly at the end :X
But other than that, hey, it would be better and more fun than anything in real-life~

[colonialman456]

Hmmm... good question i have longedto think about this with other people. I would most likly get screwed over at the Great Deku Tree also. But if by some miracle i would definently die at the goron's feet. LOL

[ForestSheikah]

I would constantly have fairies (I die a lot). And I'd probably dink around a lot to avoid some of the stuff. (ReDead and Floormasters)

But I would do it and take my time. I don't mind walking everywhere, but running everywhere... no.

Oh, and I'd scream at Kaebora Gaebora to shut up.

...

Majora's Mask, though, I'd panic.

[Twili123prince]

I would take the so take the challenge. But before I would actually go on the adventure I would practice sword play and collect a lot of fairies the only thing I would really freak out about are the Readeads, Bosses, the Shadow Temple, and the Bottom of The Well. Yes there would be a bunch of other crappy things I would go through other than the things I just said but I'm sure I could suck it up somehow, besides I'd love to be known as the hero of time:)

[SuperSilly]

I would definately give it a try. My life is so boring anyway, I could definately use an adventure. I've also always wanted to try swordfighting, and I loved archery when I tried it. Weather or not I would survive is the question.;)

I just might be able to make it past the Deku Tree, but Dodongo's Cavern? Not likely. Unless, like others have mentioned, the game logic applied. Even then, Jabu-Jabu's Belly would comepletely gross me out. I can handle all kinds of gore if I know it's not real, I can even handle real blood most of the time, but if I was really inside a whale it would just be disgusting. I would not like to be covered in whale drool, I can hardly stand dog drool, or any other kind of drool for that matter. It would take alot of courage for me to willingly go inside and become covered in drool. Ewww... :sick:

If (incredibly) I was able to stomach Jabu-Jabu's drool, I think I might be able to do it, if game logic applied. Otherwise, I wouldn't stand a chance! :P

[Durion]

I would be nervous, I would then continue on with the quest. I imagine myself dieing against a fellow swordsmen (or creature) or Iron Knuckle. My arms would be easily weakened by their blows to my sword and shield to a point where they could easily disarm me and bring their weapon smashing into my flesh or skull.

If I didn't die though I would probably get more confident as I got one with the quest but I would end up losing it in either the Shadow Temple or Ganon's Castle, Thus leading to an critical blow from my foe.

[Master Kokiri 9]

I would....
Yeah I would go along with it. After all, Link wasn't anything special as far as human abilities came along. Sure I would be scared at the start and come close to dying countless times but that's the whole point of having courage: to be able to do things even if one is unsure or scared. That's what it means to me either way.
I would such a wild ride, I'd say xD
Yeah i would be terrified to but i'd do it for the sake of the world. And bravery and courage isn't being without fear but rather standing up to it and pushing on. Also i'd probably slash up mido at the beginning of the game. Heh heh heh heh. I could probably stomach jabu-jabu's stomach (no pun intended). I actually might like it there wierd and gross as it sounds. But after that i'd be okay in terms of fear. WHEEZE!!! ALL HAIL WEEGEE. OBEY WEEGEE KILL MARIO.

[Ice6661]

hmm, id be kinda freaked out, i mean im not the bravest person out there
so me i'd try and do as best i can in the whole saving hyrule thing
BUT i'd get sidetracked (like in the game)
and will all the other things i'd be doing i'd probably forget about actually saving the place
(if anyone has seen the CH video with zelda in it)
"im looking for the tenth chicken"-link
"but your supposed to be saving hyru-"-other guy
"THERE IT IS!"-link
that would be me. lol
of course unless i had eternity to do the quest then i'd be okay.
if it was MM mask tho. and timed and had a point were you couldnt turn back time, i'd be screwed. lol

[Ghosi]

I would just be creeped out, but then set out on the adventure. I mean that it is probably time you start exploring Hyrule instead of staying in one town for a while.
