Now Go Rescue Zelda!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hello all fellow nerds who might be reading this.  Today is the 25th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda series. And if you loved these games as much as I do, I’m sure you remember playing them like yesterday.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you recall racing that annoying countdown clock to beat a dungeon, or going through hours and hours of side quests just to collect all of the masks in: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Or maybe you remember risking your Gameboy by bringing it to school and hiding from the teachers while you played Link’s Awakening with a group of friends around you watching in awe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Maybe you didn’t know about Link and his adventures until the Wii came out? Well that is perfectly fine because Twilight Princess was amazing!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Perhaps he was your favorite character in Super Smash Bros?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

No matter which one is your favorite, whenever you played a zelda game you were guaranteed one thing: Hours upon hours upon hours of mindless questing, weapons, trading for a crazy stupid strong sword, and kicking chickens only to have them all gang up on you and kill you.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Seriously… Don’t hurt the chickens… they are vengeful creatures.<\/span><\/div>\n

So go enjoy today, maybe dust off some of your old zelda games, and have a great fun-filled EXCITING ADVENTURE THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY BEATEN SEVERAL TIMES.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
