Meaningless Ramblings

My recent obsession with the Zelda series is The Phantom Hourglass. This game has caused me to lose oh so many hours of sleep, and caused my hand to cramp up countless times. I am both happy and sad to report that I am almost to the point of winning the game. All I have to do is fight Bellum…

But since I’m a sick, twisted freak, I always partake in the little side-quests and such. I’m working on collecting all of the spirit gems (I need about 2 more of each until they’re maxed out) collecting ship parts, catching Neptuna,  and I’ve yet to head to Dee Ess Island to play the new game there.

Welcome to my life. If something catches my curiosity, I have to settle it. In The Four Swords, I worked on collecting all of the figurines. Why? Because I could. Also because I wanted to see all of them. In Ocarina of Time, I did all of the mini games with hopes of winning amazing prizes. I spent countless hours trying to find and kill all of the golden skulltulas…

Sick, twisted freak? Maybe. Obsessively compulsive? Just a little. Awesome game-player? You bet.  I’ve not used cheats or walkthroughs at any point in the Phantom Hourglass. That’s how amazingly awesome I am. That, and the fact that it is rather easy. The bosses are rather easy to defeat, although that one boss that looked like a crab/scorpion was a bit hard. That’s only because it turned invisible and you had to look at the top screen to see where it was going, if it was headed toward you, and you then had to use the bottom screen to look at the boss and shoot an arrow at it. This is all while trying to avoid the other smaller creatures surrounding you. I beat that boss with a fourth of a heart left! It grabbed me at half a heart, I screamed obscenities at it, and rubbed like crazy to free myself. In the split second it paused, I unleashed all hell on its tail, defeating it!

So I pretty much win. And if I were to date a Link, it would be the realistic looking one. The younger one ‘good ol round face’ just doesn’t float my boat. Besides, he’s a bit of a player, and is already married to Ruto. In Ocarina of Time, if you recall, the Zora’s Sapphire (?) was used as an engagement ring. So there. Besides, there’d be no time for me, what with him trying to save the world and all.

Ooooh! Quick question: what does the fairy of courage do? I know the power one makes your sword more powerful, the wisdom one powers up your shield, but the courage…?
