    Breath of the Wild What is your least favorite shrine in BotW?

    The Mayam Agana Shrine. It honestly took me nearly 25 attempts to get that ball through the maze and fling the ball so it clears the gap and lands on the incline and goes into the hole. Honestly Nintendo we get it motion controls really futuristic, but please Nintendo when you combine motion...

    Zelda Games That Have the Best Soundtracks.

    I love The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess' soundtrack, I especially loved the music for The Lakebed Temple, but the one that I really loved was the Hidden Village theme. It sounded like a vintage western film from the 1960s. My only complaint is the music from the temple of time is reused...

    What Made You Happy Today?

    I got my pre-ordered copy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from GameStop today. I got one of the last plaques from the particular store I ordered it through, best of all the price of the game warranty shifted so I got $2.13 back. My only complaint is that I kind of wish the plaque...

    What Made You Happy Today?

    I was sitting out on the deck all the sudden I had a hummingbird hover over me. I love when that happens for the first time in the season. They always seem to herald that spring is in full swing or summer is almost here.

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    First and foremost the amount of pages that this thread has reached is 2112 pages (That's Awesome, especially since I am a Rush fan.) Secondly I just watched the coronation of HM King Charles III on BritBox. It got me thinking I wonder what a Hylian Coronation would look like, where would it...

    What's the longest you've ever travelled?

    Do Certain Sounds Help You Sleep?

    No, but I do have certain music I listen to before bed. Usually I just put on some Yanni or Enya. I find instrumental New Age music to be just the perfect soundtrack before bed.

    What Made You Happy Today?

    There was a hilarious incident where the European Space Agency was set to launch an unmanned spacecraft to Ganymede, during the livestream out of nowhere a sloth decides to photobomb the launch livestream. I swear it was the one of the funniest and cutest things ever.

    favorite movie

    My favorite movies are directed by Wes Anderson. I especially love his more recent works such as: The Grand Budapest Hotel, The French Dispatch and Fantastic Mr. Fox, but his works in the mid-late '90s (Bottle Rocket and Rushmore are also pretty enjoyable.)

    Genres of Music That No One Guessed You'd Enjoy.

    You probably would of not guessed I like New Age music from the '80s and '90s. I especially love artists such as Enya and Yanni. I typically listen to it before bed or even when I am trying to sleep.

    How did you come up with your username?

    I picked mine as both as a salute to the Kingdom of Hyrule and to the historic Scandinavian civilization that I am fascinated with. I was originally thinking about adding the numeral 2112 because I am a huge Rush fan, (2112 Is a reference to their epic album from 1976.) but instead I decided to...

    Favourite Words in Languages Other Than English

    I have a hunch why the Japanese call a buffet after historic Scandinavians. It has something to do with the word Smorgasbord, The word "Smorgasbord comes from Swedish literally translated as "buttered bread table." The Vikings settled in what is now modern-day Sweden as well as places such as...

    Favourite Words in Languages Other Than English

    Wanderfalke it is the German word for Peregrine Falcon, although it literally means "Wandering Falcon" I always thought that It would be an awesome title for a high fantasy novel.

    Sunflower Seeds Yay or Nay?

    What I like doing sometimes with sunflower seeds is Mixing them with thawed frozen corn, black beans and cooking them in butter (Usually in a slow cooker) with a fair to decent amount of Cayenne Pepper. I sometimes make it as a side dish for Thanksgiving.

    Most nostalgic cartoon show?

    I recently stumbled across The Adventures of Sam & Max Freelance Police, it was surprisingly good. Although It didn't run as long as Animaniacs or Ren & Stimpy which a lot of the comedy seems to mimic, but it does have some unique connotations. If anything maybe creator Steve Purcell could...
