Today’s game is Ocarina of Time. I finished my 10th something playthrough today and even fought Ganondorf off with a bottle. I know i already chose a picture of the Master Sword for a screenshot, but this really feels like an appropriate screenshot to end off on for one of my favorite games of all time.

I also considered this for the the screenshot but ended up going with the Master Sword. It just looks far better. It did give me this amusing photo of Zelda though:

During the tower escape i stopped to take a picture Ganondorf’s corpse. It was another one i was considering, but i can imagine how humorous the conversation is as Link is telling Zelda to hold up so he can take a selfie with the corpse.

Of course, i couldn’t talk about the boss fight without mentioning the epic final battle. It taking away the master sword and leaving you to fend without it, only to get it back and slay Ganon with it is an epic scene. It was amazing dodging his attacks with the Z Targeting and rolling under his legs to get his tail. It’s a simple and basic fight, but an amazing example of where i feel like this game shines. Honestly, i think it’s a contender for a good core Zelda game.

What i mean by that is it’s what i’d recommend to someone who’s never played Zelda but wants to give it a try. Is it a little rough graphically? Yes. But It covers all it’s base’s amazingly and i feel it’s amazingly accessible to newcomers. The story is basic but epic, it’s not too long and doesn’t have too many Gimmicks, and i feel like the characters are so damn lovable. I feel like from there people can branch out and find their Zelda game (or stick with OoT if that’s there favorite, like with me).

Anyways, i’d like to end it off by showing the Dorky animation for Zelda as she follows you to escape. It was funny, but what wasn’t funny was her standing there watching Link get humped by a Redead right at the Exit. Thanks for nothing Zelda.
