Okay, Okay already!
So I'm a bit of a fanboy >__<

Fiction.

It reminds us that at times ideas are best conveyed through the voices of imaginary characters...
Through that window into the world of make-belief we catch all kinds of interesting glimpses.
Images, reflections, distortions and all kinds of combinations of human emotions, sensations, thoughts and dreams...

[ahem]

Reader, fear not. [AK] is good and done ripping off the reboot intro right about now
[/ahem]

Now. I've been meaning to do a piece on the Legend of Zelda 4 some time now...
So at long, long last... Here it is:

[f4nb0yRant4ge]
As often happens in life...
1 fine day you yourself.
Stranded. (randomly)
On a island.
No, not one of those picturesque ones in the Galapagos like Jack Scarecrow!
Like a wierd random one...
Naturally, there were kind and helpful people who put you there...
And being kind, they insisted you could only bring 1 video game franchise with you.
You may not know it yet, but this franchise happens to be teh Legend of Zelda.
tut-tut-tut! A Final Fantasy uberfan are you?...
Hate mail goes HERE friend :D
[/f4nb0yRant4ge]

So here's to the Zelda fans, old and new, and umm, like you future fans too!

From the adorable, stern and knowing voice of Navi that guided us through Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, I give you "Hey! Listen!"

N: Oy, Link.
L: [zzz]
N: Umm... LINK! Wake the f$%k up baka-yaro!
L: [nnn...] "w t f ... is a frikkin talking piece of dust... With wings... Doin'... in my treehouse?"
N: Ahem. I do have a name y'know.
L: "Like... Other than tinkerbell's sister's cousin twice removed?!"
N: It's Navi wiseass.
L: *snort* "umm... Kay... And what can I do for you, oh figment of Shiggy's imagination?!"

N: Meh. Usual. World coming to and end and all that...

Remember, Link... Remember.
Only arrows of light will pierce the darkness.
It never made much sense to fight fire with fire.
If you seek love, go learn!
About yourself, your surroundings, and our world.
Preserve it, protect it.
Restore that seemingly lost peace.
And like get a sword or something, you look like a stuffed toy!
Quench those blazing fires,
And pick up the pieces of your broken heart already ya lazy bum!

Keep moving, Link...

Go find your princess, kid.
So what if she's frozen into some statue?!
Wanna fight about it?!
*sigh* so she's held up in some castle...
But you'll find her. You'll have to.

I really love the themes and imagery in Ocarina of Time.
Simple, honest and true;

- In daily life, there's really no such thing as a non-player character.
- You already have the power to dream, so dream.
- If you haven't found your dream yet, don't worry...
- But u better not be afraid to go out and find it.
- When you're ready to chase it... Either run, or find like... A horse or something!
- We're only destined to become the main character in our lives...

The fiction that holds us back is the same fiction we encounter in the world around us.
Those empty and meaningless voices of cynicism and doubt...
As powerful and dark they may seem, they're just thoughts.
The idea that there's an easy and constantly fun way to live through life is an
