''Ocarina'' was wonderful. After playing an odd and strange and creepy burnt ROM of ''Ocarina'', then losing the disc... Well, I could never forget that game.

In conclusion: Ocarina of Time was wonderful. Though sometimes I wanted to throw my DS against a wall and scream "CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP", it was by far the best. Even better than BotW, I think. | In conclusion: Ocarina of Time was wonderful.

Flash forward to my brother's birthday. Our grandmother takes us to Wal*Mart (see? I put the... *...) so he can pick out a present. I beg him. "Get Majora's Mask? Get Majora's Mask? Pleeeeeeeez" He agrees, he plays first, gets bored. I did not feel remorse/regret for my manipulation; he still plays it now and then. So, all good. | Flash forward to my brother's birthday.

Anyway, the game is quite good. I cannot figure out how to defeat the Garo Master. Okay, I lied: I know how, I - JUST - CAN'T. But the game itself sets a tone: Even in a bright cheery grassland, you are reminded of imminent doom by pointing the camera at the sky; thus even ''indoors'' there's a sense of destruction, death, and darkness. | Anyway, the game is quite good.

Perhaps the... moon... sets a dark twist that helps, well, me, as a tween, to better explore the "dark side" of gameplay - while never entering it. It sounds... almost... ''scary'' that such a game exists: to be happy, with a twist of darkness. But it's not. See, peepz: | ||

Journey down to the "Surface" - or visit Skyloft at night - and you meet [[Ghirahim|SUPER challenging bosses]], [[Mia|rabid cats]], and overall... darkness. Similar to Majora's Mask, the dark tone and cuteness clash to create a weird... tone. But this is different, along with Adultish Link there's a sense of leaving childish innocence to see what the world is really like. 90%, A in my book. | Journey down to the "Surface" - or visit Skyloft at night - and you meet [[Ghirahim|SUPER challenging bosses]], [[Mia|rabid cats]], and overall... darkness.

Nothing to hate. 100% A+ in my book. LOVE it. Nothing bad. Everything... The music... the darkness... the [[Midna|stupid companion imps who speak gibberish]]... dying of sadness because my Wii broke.

The music... the darkness... the [[Midna|stupid companion imps who speak gibberish]]... dying of sadness because my Wii broke. Oh... i LOVE IT LOVE IT LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT... I feel like, contrary to other things I've written about childish innocence and darkness combining, this game is full-on dark and terrifying. Plus, the graphics are beautiful. Just... A+, folks. A. Flippin'. Plus. | ||

With a game made this realistic, however, you can't help but wonder: ''where are the limits''? And, ''why so many limits''? It makes you hungry for a game where you can do not just the advertised 'anything', but absolutely anything. Be able to climb on anything. Gather any ingredient that exists in real life, cook with more than five ingredients, make modern-day dishes, like... erm... p - i - z - z - a. | ||
I do ''adore'' these graphics, more realistic and whimsical at the same exact time than anything. But I do ''hate'' the lack of a green tunic, pointy green hat, and brown-and-white horse. One more thing: a lot of things rely on ''amiibo''. Not vital things, but... Outfits, items, ''certain brown-and-white horses''... | |||

I've found it hard to accurately convey my exact feelings on paper (or computer screen), but other chatterboxes out there should relate! | |||
