Oct 14/07 - Zelda Returns

Zelda Returns
Category: Life

I've mentioned many times how the Zelda video  games series meant alot to Darrel
over the past two years. The Wind Waker game  was how Rebecca and Darrel spent
most of their down time during their lengthy hospital stays. A few weeks ago,
Nintendo released the direct sequel to that  game (The Phantom Hourglass) for
their DS system. Although he also enjoyed the Twilght Princess game  that came out
earlier this year, he probably would have liked this one even  more. It picks up right
where Wind Waker concluded, and is very similar in  graphics and sound. Of course,
being for the DS, there are several new playing  options available, which adds so
much more to the game.

Kira picked it up  last Tuesday, and has been playing it non stop ever since. Hearing
the familiar  sounds from the game brings back many memories, but unfortunately
Darrel's  noises and comments while playing it are unavoidably missing. I'm glad
that the joy that The Legend of Zelda has brought to the house is still living
on. Even Rebecca, who only began playing video games because of Darrel, has
shown some interest in continuing the quest to rescue Zelda once more. Darrel
being here to share in it would have made it more special, but that was not to 
be.

    The majority of all these entries were written by Darrel's father, Stephen.  For those that are not, efforts have been made to give proper credit where it is due.

    The bulk of the posts are in the June 2011 Archives Section, as that is when I transferred them over to this site.  Category Tags should allow you to find entries easier.

    I've tried to correct spacing issues on many of the entries, as most of the older ones have been copied from different sites I've used in the past. I apologize if some have been overlooked.
