About Us
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA (NES)
Kelly:  Ah yes, the beginning of the legend...
Vikki: Not to mention the dumbest one ever...
Kelly:  It wasn't dumb!  It was just bad graphics. 
Vikki: True... And it was pretty big when it first came out. 
Kelly: It was?  I wasn't even alive when it first came out. 
Vikki: Nope, you weren't even conceived in the 70's.  (or whenever)
Kelly: I'm gonna hurt you now. 
Vikki: Ok.
Kelly: Man, when I first played this game, I thought the old man was freaky! 
Vikki: He gave me nightmares...
THE ADVENTURE OF LINK (NES)
Kelly: I, uh... I never played this one... I like pie...
Vikki: *slaps forehead* I played this.  It was horrible.  A side-scrolling nightmare with Link's legs hideously exposed under a VERY short tunic/skirt. 
Kelly: Especially apple pie... mmm...
Vikki: ... No comment, man.  Anywho, avoid this game. It was still a process of making the legend... (Link had brown hair!  Eww!)
Kelly: Apple pie is kinda brown...
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: Link's Awakening (GB)
Kelly: They copied Mario so much in this one. 
Vikki: Well, no wonder, Kel, it's the same people who MADE Mario!
Kelly: Well, this game still freaked me out.  When I found out it was all a dream, and then he looked up and saw the wind-fish, I didn't know what was what. 
Vikki: (Don't say that, you idiot!  Some people haven't finished yet!  Like me! *koff koff*)  Honestly, I'm not too into Game Boy and other handhelds because I've always been better at consoles.  But this was a big step for Link.  He looked so CUUTE!
Kelly: And no tights yet... Not that I looked or anything...
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A Link To The Past (SNES)
Kelly: This is the best Zelda game ever.  It's almost as good as that pie...
Vikki: Ah yes, another big step for gameplay.  Link was still ugly.  VERY ugly. 
Kelly: I think he looked cool with his pink hair.  And when he fell and died, his eyes widened. 
Vikki: Yeah, but if you look in the instruction booklet, he's UGLY.  The LEGS, man!  The LEGS!  You could almost see...
*Both Kelly and Vikki shudder as bad mental images fill their brains*
Kelly: O-Okay, that gave me nightmares... what could be up there...
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: Ocarina of Time (N64)
Kelly: I'm traumatized by this game because I was beaten by a GROWN ADULT and lost a loonie...
Vikki: Well, I'M the MASTER of this game!  I got every single Skulltula, every single Heart Piece...
Kelly: *sniffle* And that loonie was REALLY shiny!
Vikki: ...And every mask, and every item...
Kelly: Oh yeah?!  Well, I beat Ganon!  ... Twice!
Vikki: *pause*  Well, my game has a glitch that Ganondorf coughs up green blood instead of red for some weird reason.  In short, Ocarina of Time is an awesome game, but it was a tad glitchy. 
Kelly: Oh yeah?  Mine's gotta glitch where the sword-Goron guy looks REALLY big!
Vikki: Uh, Kelly...?  That's not a glitch...
Kelly: ...Oh...
Hey, he looks like me...
Talon takin' a snooze... He kinda reminds ya of Mario, don't he?
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: Majora's Mask (N64)
Kelly: I like the dancing mask... *does a little jig*
Vikki: *slaps him* Kelly!  Concentrate!  Can you not see Nintendo is hinting that they're going to destroy the world?!  WE MUST SEEK SHELTER!!!
Kelly:  I like controlling animals with the marching mask... And I like the dancing girls...
Dat looks like Ganondorf's face...
You never ever need to wear it...
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: Oracle of Ages/Seasons (GBC)
Kelly: Never played it and heard bad things about it...
Vikki: Eh, it's a cute sequel to Link's Awakening.  And you find out more about the three goddesses, who are oracles of nature.  I also have the manga (Japanese Comic Book) of Seasons.  I'll post a pic once I get a new scanner...
Kelly: I played it at Zeller's and met a talking tree.  What's with that?
Vikki: It's tradition!  Link walks along and bumps into a talking tree that rather swallows him or tells him what to do and giving him a freaking stone!
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A Link To The Past and FOUR SWORDS (GBA)
Vikki: Oh God, another Game Boy game?  With MIDGETS?!  When will these people REALIZE we need HOT MEN?!
Kelly: Vikki!  Stop that!  This is a serious topic!  We're talking about Zelda here! 
Vikki: Oh, you're right.  Forgive me. 
Kelly: I like it that it's FINALLY multiplayer.  Now I can take out my friends.  And the original Link to the Past now has some neat sounds. 
Vikki: Link sounds like a little kid... That makes me really sad...
Kelly: *shakes head*  
Each Link in Four Swords has a different personality: Green is the leader, Blue is the kid who's obsessed with money. Red is the one with an anger-management problem and the Purple one is helpless.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: WINDWAKER (GC)
Vikki: This one was met with mixed feelings.  First of all, it was cel-shaded with cuuute little midgets and some people didn't like that.  The plus-side was a whole new storyline of Link's descendants a hundred years later and you get to see some awesome stuff!
Kelly:  I liked this one.  I like rolling into the lady with the bottle on her head and breaking it and watching her freak out. 
Oh, and they re-animated old badguys! 
Vikki: Not to mention the music.  In short, go buy this game.  Now.
Link and his sister, Aryll.
ZELDA'S ADVENTURE (PC)
Kelly: The rarest Zelda game of them all.  Not much is known about it except that you play as Zelda to save Link. 
Vikki: And speaking of rare games, there were actual old CG-Games where there would be a small cartoon, then you'd play a little Zelda old-school game.  I remember one being called Wand of Gamelon or something but I heard they were pretty dumb.  And Link was still ugly...
