The Legend Of Zelda Series

Improved Essays
The Legend of Zelda series is one of the most popular, loved and influential video game series on this planet. So many kids of the 80's, 90's and the 2000's have grown up with these games and the adventures that Link and Zelda get themselves into. This series means an immense amount to a lot of people and honestly, I feel that The Legend of Zelda series means more to me than it does to anybody else on this Earth.

I remember vividly around this time always wanting to know who my father was and what he thought of me. I especially was curious as to what he thought about the trailers and pictures of the new Zelda game coming out in December of that year.

Twilight Princess made me take the stripes on my back and carry the weight of everything I've ignored up to this point in my …show more content…
When these games get announced and gameplay gets shown, I cry, I get morose but I also get excited. The series has vicariously turned into something special for me, a beautiful time to reunite with the thoughts of my father. I've found him in every single Zelda game that has come out.

This year at the Switch event a couple of friends and I got together and live streamed it. The event ended with the final Zelda trailer and a release date, when the date splashed up on the screen I had tears in my eyes and I was screaming with joy. Breath of The Wild was coming and it was coming SOON. My friends and I were happy and running around their apartment screaming about Mario and Zelda while a soft warm feeling spread through my chest, the familiar and comfortable feeling of a new Zelda game coming out.

Breath of The Wild looks to be the best Zelda game come out since Ocarina of Time and I cannot be more excited to play it and explore its world for many many hours with a smile on my face thinking of my late

    Ever since I can remember video games have always been my escape. On my ninth birthday I received my xbox 360 and since that day I have never look back. With my xbox I have made memories and friendships that will last life a life time. Although some believe things in life are either good or bad, it can be seen through Xbox that things are both good and bad, but it’s the proportion between good and bad that matters, this can be seen through new games, finishing games, and new systems that proves that a disproportionate amount of good versus bad creates good memories. With the Xbox there were many games that I have played that have taken me on hundreds of adventures.…

    When we visited Tombstone after the adoption hearing, I realized that I could ask my mothers any question, and that they would not only answer it to the best of their abilities, but they would also not become annoyed with all my questions. They encouraged inquiries about the world around me. I remember asking about the school mascot painted on the side of a high school in Tombstone. My mom didn’t know what type of insect it was, so she asked a person who worked at a nearby gift shop. My view of life changed with this simple interaction on account of the fact that I knew some of my classmates’ parents would have told them not to ask questions, but mine had and do answer my questions as well as encourage me and my siblings to ask…

    Anime and video games are two subjects that play an important role in both eastern and western popular culture. The ascension of both anime and video games into popular culture originated first in Japan, and eventually their influence spread across the globe. I’ve been engrossed in both subjects since I was young, and I believe my appreciation for both was no coincidence. Anime and video games, after all, have always felt similar to me, but why is that? To answer that question, I will consider what anime is, and what video games are.…
