Something interesting as I was walking through the slushy forest to class today:
College has been like a big Zelda quest (of course). As I have plugged away at my journey, things have gotten progressively more difficult and the stakes raised higher with each step. Finally I have come to face my final boss, and I'm beating him pretty well. Once he's finished, I'll get a nice ending- and then...well, I guess I've beaten the game. The End.
The most difficult part about playing a really good video game is that once it's over, you've beaten it. You can go back and start a new game, but it's just not the same. So what else can you do? Pick up another game, or keep trying to play this one? My Pieces of Heart theory: once you've beaten Zelda, all you get left to do in the game is run around the world picking up pieces of heart. Well that's what I'll be doing for the months of April - June. I know this Overworld very well, I've played these dungeons day in and day out. I've beaten every boss, collected as many rupees as I can, and soon enough I'll finally get to watch my big ending. But that still leaves me here post-graduation, for 3 months, with nothing but pieces of heart to collect. It will be nice to complete my quest, right?
PS - toooo many beans in tonight's 2nd dinner. Don't let Daniel wake up.
Love you guys,
Mikie

your quest is never complete, life is one quest after another, right? but I am so proud of you and your accomplishments, you will always be a winner to me, I love you...
mikie your whole LIFE is a zelda quest. actually you know what, i am totally in love with this idea. and you know i am not into video games, but zelda, o zelda, is a whole new world. it seems very adventurous and hardy and free and wild and wonderful to go out into the world every day as link encountering obstacles and friendly helpers, and i don't quite get the going around picking up pieces of heart bit, but i like it. it is very poetic. sounds a tad bit ominous if it involves going around breaking girls' hearts. but all part of the journey. and just remember, there is always a new zelda version every few years or so. the quest is never over! and new games could be good too, COULD be.
mikie the above quote was from me, heather, not darin, sorry if i got you all excited that darin actually had all that to say about your idea...he'd probably like it too but he actually hasn't even checked out our family blog yet, but i am going to make him, soon. love you! good luck this weekend you handsome devil, love heather
Mikie the Zelda quest analogy. I saw it coming. Believable (as opposed to unbelievable).
So I have been replaying my game, and I'm back at the part where I'm in the Ordon woods lookin to get the master sword *again*. Which means I have to manipulate/rotate those jumping statues *again*. Shucks. But I found a few more things. So much fun, and it's the weekend again!
Hey I got all excited too thinking Darin had left Mikie a comment... Try to get Darin, Art and Joey to join up okay you guys!...Mom
