I've never really been one of those people who is big on gaming. Sure, I had a Sony PlayStation when I was younger, and my parents had an Atari and an Nintendo Entertainment System, so I was always around it growing up, but I never was one of those kids who liked to sit around and just game. The older I got, though, the more this changed. I didn't really like being the outdoorsy type of person when I hit my teenage years, and I really liked playing random games on the computer, etc. I didn't play them all the time, though, just when I felt like it. A couple of summers ago, I was introduced to a video game that really sparked my interest, and most true gamers would be proud that I played the entire game all the way through in one summer. I know that's a bit excessive, but trust me it was worth it...till my Wii died and I lost all proof of my accomplishments. It was still fun to play though....
This is that game:
The Legend of Zelda is probably one of most popular games out there amongst gamers, and it's been around for quite sometime with several gaming types and names. There's the Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Ocarina of Time, WindWaker, Twilight Princess, and a few more. All of them feature a character named Link, who sets out on an adventure in each game fighting off enemies and bosses and rescuing Zelda.
Twilight Princess has the same storyline, but the graphics are phenomenal. Being the art student I am, I was taken back by the high-level of the design in the graphics, and I think that the graphics are one of the many reasons I enjoyed playing this game. Well, enough about that. The real reason I'm writing about The Legend of Zelda is because I'm excited about a new Zelda game coming out soon (Fall 2011 hopefully!). It's called:
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Here's an image of the concept art for the game:
The game has already been introduced at the E3 conference in 2010, where people got the chance to play a small version of it. The graphics on this game are not as dark and realistic as they are on Twilight Princess, but rather more colorful and bright on the screen. It still works for the game, though.
Just in case you're interested in The Legend of Zelda, you may want to check out any of the games I listed above if you haven't already done so. OR, check out this exciting trailer for the new Zelda game:
I hope you enjoyed reading this, and I hope it inspires you to try out this game (any listed above), because it truly is AWESOME. I don't know about you, but I'm excited to see what awaits me inside that plastic case. I'm betting it's another action-packed adventure waiting for me to play it till I finish it.
Well, that's enough of my dorkyness for now..
Later.
