Today’s game is Ocarina of Time. I cleared the last of the Temples today and opened up Ganon’s Castle after kicking Bongo Bongo’s ass (along with a discovery that i can use Arrows to stun him). I’m excited and sad to be finishing this game. It’s one of those games that every time i beat it i’m left wanting more. Very few games i can see leave that impact on me.

Backpedalling to Ganon’s Castle though, The cutscene for the rainbow bridge is another perfect example of why i love this game. It leverages the Soundtrack and the Camera Angles to create a really epic cutscene. I feel like the Journey too is what helps the moment. While the cutscene was playing i couldn’t help but think of the Kokiri Forest at the beginning and go “Wow, Link really has come this far”. It’s just a really good Hero’s tale imo.

While i was doing the Shadow temple i backed up a bit to try and get a good screenshot of the boat, only to discover that the back half isn’t flat. I fell straight off the back and accidentally killed poor link. I then did it again trying to figure out what happened. I nearly died on the ship a third time because i didn’t realize it was about to sink but luckily i just barely made the jump and watched the Stalfos plummet to it’s death.

I ran into a door with a suspiciously Elder Scrolls Imperial shaped crest on it. Ironically, my friend was in VC with me playing through the Bottom of The Well at the same time and came to a door with the same texture at the same time as me. We both stopped and went “Dude, is that the Skyrim Logo?” to eachother.

I of course beat another Dead Hand too, and he died as he always does. With his freaky ass Jaw unhinged like a snake. It was a lot easier this time as i had a longer range with the Master Sword. My spin attack covered a lot more area and took him out way faster.

I ended off tonight in Ganon’s Castle. I’m not quite ready to say goodbye again too Ocarina of Time tonight (and it’s late) so i plan to finish it tomorrow hopefully. maybe the next Zelda game i do will be me finally finishing Twilight Princess (i have started and stopped the game so many times now)
