Just completed my yearly play of Link's Awakening on Switch. It really is possibly my favourite Zelda game, whether that just nostalgia of it being my first Zelda game back on the GB or something else I don't know. I just know I love the game. The Switch version is just beautiful to look at and a joy to play. Playing back now it seems to much easier than it did back then. I remember getting so stuck on a few dungeons especially the Eagle's Tower, that damn wrecking ball. Turtle Rock seemed huge and scary to navigate, But now, I can zip through the first three dungeons no issues (I'm sure everyone can), I remember the trading sequence off by heart now and for the first time I actually got the three upgrades for the items this time round. I know I usually always get one of them, but managed to find all three this time. I set out to get as much as possible in hearts and the seashells, I ended up getting exactly 40 seashells for the sword upgrade and ended on 27/32 heart pieces. Did the colour dungeon to get the Blue Tunic which just makes things a hundred times easier and ad in the cream stuff that doubles your hearts effectively and you feel invincible. climbed the mountain to wake the Wind Fish today. I've always loved the end fight, going through the different forms and trying to remember what needs to be used on each, once agin no issues remembering what to do. And of course ended with my favourite part, the long armed eyeball guy. Jump shoot, jump shoot shoot, since and repeat. I heard the flashing and thought I was nearly done, but then remembered I still had the cream to go through, so no worries about dying at all. The Nightmares are defeated, the wind wish awakens and I have pretty much murdered an entire island of inhabitants. I do love doing this though Untill next time when I think I'll have to go for all seashells and heart pieces. Possibly all the Nintendo collectable figures too.

The fact that you made it in 30 minutes is something else. I echo @Ugh first aid comments over voice chat. How does he do it. Was a fun stage indeed. Great games too. With some close matches. My highlight was the two home run hits on @Ike in that one match. Sorry bout that. lol

Yeah, your forgetfulness lead to an impromptu fun evening. Thanks for forgetting lol

“Sarah Hill takes second place”, “Sarah Hill is way behind”, “Sarah Hill is in the lead” 😂 dammit commentator which is it

@Glen-i, @Dcubed and myself had an impromptu N64 evening of gaming. some highlights.

Yup I'm good to go for 8:30

Wait! I want that put back in. I want big head mode in Mario Kart now.

Awesome Of course there would be a catch. I would love to be able to play those whenever rather than waiting and hoping I’m playing when they happen.

I didn’t need to see him back, in fact I’ve never seen the appeal of him. Always seemed like another standard guy to me. Nothing really stood out. Half of it was probably for the Chicago pop to have him return there. It will be interesting to see what happens though. I’ve seen people say WWE will be better equipped to keep him under control. Maybe they’ve told him one mistake and you’re gone. Either way I couldn’t care less what happens to him. At least the programming is going great. The Survivor Series War Games matches were fun and had a lot of stories interwoven in them.

8 it is.

Cool we can give it a go, if @S.C.G wants to join we can switch who's playing half way through. or think of something.

I don't think I have yet. I know I started playing the one of 64 NSO. Which one is Super Star on?

Well I know who you're getting in the secret Santa smash lol

OK No worries, if either of you are up for anything else give mea shout and maybe we can still have a gaming session

Thatfriendly match after the duels got quite tense and close at the end there. I probably could have gotten second had I used Boo differently to steal, but maybe not.

Yup. 8pm is good.

Players choice tonight at 8pm. I’ll be hosting so look for the room from 7:45.

Friday is cool with me. @Dcubed and @S.C.G let me know if you’re playing so I can sit in and watch.

Great game tonight guys. Some very great (or not if you’re @Glen-i) teamwork @S.C.G and @Dcubed

The fact that he said the original rights holders checked the videos and they were generally very pleased with the results just shows that so much love and attention went into these whilst respecting the characters.

This actually is looking really good, I don’t want to get my hopes up too much but could this be the live action adaptation we have been waiting for?

Great races and some really nice tracks in the new wave. It was also really great to have a lobby of 10 players. Its a shame you all don't turn up weekly
