They're probably not quite my pride and joy, but I am fairly fond of my Resident Evil wallet



and the old mah-jong set made by Nintendo







in b4 ICO presskit

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Alundra is rare? I don't like the game (it's like a depressing version of Zelda with all the charm and sense of exploration removed ), so it's certainly not a pride and joy of my collection, but it's there on the shelf. Along with Vagrant Story and Grandia 1.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I prefered Alundra to any of the Zelda games, probably becuase it was a bit more bleak and not all smiley and colourful. It was also far, far harder.
Outside Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, Zelda games - while colourful - are hardly happy and cheery. Many of the details in the stories are quite dark, tragic or disturbing, be it Majora's Mask or the original myths in the first few Zelda games. Twilight Princess also had some really freaky stuff in there and both bad guys had their share of trauma and tragedy to their pasts (enslavement, obsession, insanity).

The earlier Zeldas were also quite challenging, especially Link's Awakening (which also had a really depressing story and ending).

You really should play more, man. Just cause the grass is green instead of brown doesn't mean the game itself will be sugary

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh absolutely, I get that.
I just can't let an Alundra > Zelda quip slide, especially if the justification is that "zelda is too happy". Or anything else for that matter because Alundra is MEDIOCRE ARGL


also:
Ocarina had some really grim stuff too, come to think of it. I mean christ, you don't travel in time, you stay in stasis while the world is destroyed. As a child in an adult's body, you traverse a kingdom you failed to save, and in the end you save the world but no one will know about it because you're back as a child.


I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
