Fitness Article Uses Zelda References for Framework

Ever wonder what it would be like to become a hero? Well, that is what Zelda games are for. Ever wonder what it would be like to become a hero by fulfilling your fate of fitness? Look no further! Nerd Fitness guest writer Anthony Mychal recently wrote an article entitled, Hero Training: Fulfill Your Fate of Fitness. The article explains how starting a workout regiment is just like Link’s quest to save Princess Zelda in a multitude of factors. Jump in and see how you can metaphorically wield the Master Sword!

Nerd Fitness’s Hero Training explains the path to fitness in six steps:

1) Have a purpose (One that is not purely self-satisfying, like how Link needs to save Princess Zelda)

2) Begin as a goonie, not as a hero (Link started weak as well)

3) Enjoy the process (Link’s adventures, and yours as well, will be long and arduous; at least have some fun during it all)

4) Getting lost is necessary, don’t let it stop you (They are not called the “Lost Woods” for nothing)

5) Don’t fall for Gameshark (Cheaters never prosper, people)

6) Beware of the Game Over (Link dies every once and a while—it is alright)

Of course, this is all better explained and elaborated upon in the actual article. I am a firm believer that almost anything can be tied to the Zelda franchise, and I am glad to see a new connection. I myself am a bit inspired to start up a new physical goal—to obtain my own Master Sword and save Zelda, in a sense. It has been a while since I have tried to save Zelda, if you know what I mean.

What do you guys think about this article? Is it inspiring? Interesting? Just plain cool? Comment and let us know!
