Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

Well, that session was just chock full of those moments that make a Zelda game special. So much so, in fact, that my rants about last night’s boss battle are nothing but a distant memory and all is forgiven. Without giving away any plot specifics, something unexpected and a little shocking happened between Midna and

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

Water Temple DONE! But with a nasty shock. For the first time EVER (in my experience) a Zelda dungeon was ruined by a rubbish boss. Not a stupidly hard boss, but a rubbish boss. The reason being that it broke the rules of the game. See, the thing is, with the magic blue suit you

Trouble is, the two islands in the peninsula are horribly infertile and keeping a colony going with precious little raw materials. I also have a
