Princess Zelda

There have been tons of Zelda games released by Nintendo over the past soon to be 30 years and just about each of them takes place in several various parts of a timeline. But here is a very interesting fact. Did you know that the first Zelda game ever released took place near the very end of the timeline? The end of the timeline belongs to its sequel Zelda II: The Adventures of Link. Every game after that kept journeying back in time starting with Zelda 3: Link to the Past and it went on from…

toddler, I would try to climb in the dishwasher and take everything out while mom was trying to do the dishes. In order to keep me from doing that, dad needed to play video games as long as they entranced me. One of the games he played was The Legend of Zelda. Growing up with this game and spending time with my dad while he played it fueled the love I developed for this game and it’s music. The first four songs on the soundtrack of my life, composed by Koji Kondo, are songs from that video game.…

wife started to suffer from mental breakdowns. She spent the next year in the Prangins Clinic in Switzerland. This inspired Fitzgerald to write his short story titled "One Trip Abroad" about a married couple who falls apart in Europe. As soon as Zelda was released from the clinic, they headed back to the U.S. She relapsed only three months later and Fitzgerald had to contact Doctor Jonathan Slocum, owner of a clinic located in Beacon, New York. At the time, spousal visits were discouraged for…

Men. As clear as day, the default setting, for almost anything; unless it has to do with marketing, then the default is a sexy blonde woman who is half naked, trying to sell cologne on a six-foot poster. If women can sell all of these products, why does the marketing industry think that video games with female leads won’t sell? And, why is it that men are always thought of first in a positive way, and women second to mind in a demeaning way? Sex role stereotyping. Sex role stereotyping is hard…

Video Games have always been a part of my life. When I was a child, my mom and dad bought a PS2 so my mom could exersize. She would play Dance Dance Revolution to move around, and a few other games for entertainment. Then, when I was about 5, a family at our church gave us a Wii for Christmas. It included 4 remotes and a few games. I still play these games all the time. My dad told me when he was younger, he and his family got an Atari 2600 for Christmas. He would play Yars Revenge all the time.…

“ The obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.” These words are from Shigeru Miyamoto, the man who created many popular icons in the gaming world. This man has been referred to as “ the father of modern video games ,” but he doesn’t receive a higher salary than any other employees at Nintendo on his own accord . Despite growing up about two decades before video games existed, Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the most well known people in the…

"Something's wrong," he said eyeing everything that moved around us. I smiled, at least I got to see him one last time... I slapped Zelda. She went into rampage and galloped off in full speed neighing in protest. "Gabriela!!" Gray yelled in confusion. The last thing I heard before I could not hear them no more was Gray trying to calm Zelda down. I smiled as I lifted my arms, "I surrender." There was the sinister laugh again. "That's very wise of you Gabriela. Too bad we couldn't…

:/ One day in the Smash Hotel, Mario was watching the entrance,as usual. Then outside was a beautiful girl with long brown hair. Gian:She ain’t pretty (read in sassy voice) Giana:She so pretty!!

actually experience the story rather than just listening and allowing the listener’s imagination to create the story. Just like stories, video games have some type of morale involved, for an example in the game The Legend of Zelda, the story is about a hero trying to save the princess of the kingdom from the evil hands of a demon. The player has to go through different trial and overcome them to reach his goal. The morale of the game is through perseverance you will be able to reach the thing…

Video game popularity is rising each year. But with all the popularity people are noticing how few of games portray a leading female role. Even if a female character has a leading role, almost all of the females are portrayed with fantasy body types to draw in a crowd. These women characters deserve to have a chance to entertain gamers just like any other male character, but it doesn’t have to be where their body is drastically overhauled to look fake. These things degrade females not only in…
