Getting Started

Like Zach said in his first post, he and I are blogging through all the Zelda games.  We are working together and trying to try to finish them all before the next Zelda game, Skyward Sword, is released late this year.  We are going to play through them in the order they were released starting with the Legend of Zelda and ending with Spirit Tracks.  We are also planning on playing the original versions of the games when we can, and playing them on the original systems they were built on.  So yes, we are dusting off the old NES and SNES.  My old Game Boy gave up the ghost a few years back so we'll be playing through the Game Boy games on a GBA, and we don't have an N64, so unless someone wants to loan one to the cause we'll be playing Orcarina of Time and Majora's Mask on the Wii.

Now, the question you might be thinking is: why? and I assure you we have three very good, amazing, outstanding reasons.

First, the boy strongly dislikes writing, and that might be putting it lightly.  This is a not-so-subtle way of encouraging him to write about something he enjoys.

Second, Zach is almost a teenager.  He's starting to become more interested in things like texting, social networking, and the internet in general. This is a chance to introduce him to blogging and social networking in a way that is fun for both of us.  Just so you know, he has total creative control over this site, so any compliments about the way it looks send his way.

Finally, and most importantly: Zach and I both like Zelda!  I just thought this would be a fun way for me to relate to my step-son.

We'll both have a lot to say as we work together through these games, feel free to read along.

Legend of Zelda-NES

Today i started out w/ the 1st zelda game- Legend of Zelda for the NES. i beat the 1st,2nd, and 3rd dungeons. i need to go back and get the rest of the items. My dad helped me with the most of finding my way. after all these years, i still cant believe that he remembers where everything is. we are planning on trying to finish all the games; NES games, SNES games, gameboy and gameboy advanced games, ds games, wii games and n64 games.
