Zelda Content
Player's Pulse (pp. 6-7)
In the Player's Pulse, 75-yr old William Convery writes in, talking about his accomplishment of completing The Legend of Zelda. He wrote a poem about his experience.
- My grandson introduced me to a Nintendo game,
- That I play on my TB most of the day,
- The Legend of Zelda has taxed my brain,
- Outwitting many demons throughout the play!
- My wife says that I have lost my mind,
- And I have made her a house recluse,
- That doing so I have been most unkind,
- She states that it's a form of spouse abuse!
- I told her the alternative is my visiting pubs,
- And possibly becoming a drunken souse,
- Or go swimming with girls in hot water tubs,
- So what's wrong with my playing in the house!
