We only had my old Sega Genesis in the house before Darrel was first
diagnosed in September 2005. He rarely played any of the games I had, as most
were purchased before any of the kids were born. But, almost anywhere you
went at Sick Kids in Toronto, there was a Nintendo system of some kind. While
the other floors had the Super NES system, the onocology floor had the Game
Cube. It was certainly a vast improvement over what we had at home, and it was
where Darrel first discovered Zelda....The Wind Waker!
Being stuck in insolation, and in his bed for nearly all his time in the
hospital, for every visit, he alot alot of time to play it....er...I mean
mostly watch Mommy play it around the clock. Later, the Children's Wish
Foundation would provide us with a system and many games for home as part of
his Big Wish.
I would also like to thank Nintendo, as they sent Darrel personally, "The
Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition 1986-2003" . A family member had
approached the company about perhaps being able to buy an advance copy of the
new "Zelda: Twilight Princess", and had explained his situation to them. Since
they couldn't realistically do this, they sent out a promotional disc that
included four of the original Zelda games. Their gift was unexpected, and held
Darrel's interest until the Twilight Princess was released.
Below is a list of many of the games Darrel has enjoyed on many of the
Nintendo systems that have come his way:
