The fact that zelda hasn't gotten a game from her POV is criminal.<br /><br />But I think you have done some good theorizing!<br /><br />I love playing Twilight Princess, but the fact that they muted Link and used him as a "tool" in the game is the designer's way of giving you, the player, some identification with Link, so you can "see yourself in him." Even his name, Link, could be interpreted as a bridge to the other characters--he exists for someone else, not for his own sake. I suppose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18703704.post-58027442326208920212007-01-17T11:27:00.000-08:002007-01-17T11:27:00.000-08:00That's an interesting take on Link, and fetch-ques...That's an interesting take on Link, and fetch-questing heroes in general. Personally, I was already angry that Zelda didn't, you know, try and free herself. I've always wanted the game that was half RPG, half stealth survival, in which Link is working hard to rescue Zelda, but she's working just as hard to escape. Then again, I haven't played in ages, so perhaps my vision of the games is skewed.Madeline Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100746792855063689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18703704.post-10132967601163225372007-01-16T22:40:00.000-08:002007-01-16T22:40:00.000-08:00Thanks and fixed!

Actually, I have to say that my take on Link's character is a bit different because I used to read the comic in Nintendo Power and I was a fan of his spot in the Super Mario Bros Super Show. ^^;Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18703704.post-16449963925104595832007-01-15T20:58:00.000-08:002007-01-15T20:58:00.000-08:00Yeah, Link's kind of the intern of the adventuring...Yeah, Link's kind of the intern of the adventuring world.

He's really just happy to be here.<br /><br />I hope they've resisted the temptation to give Link too much of a personality in Twilight Princess.

Lol, I think that's been one of my most creative mistakes. <br /><br />I think my favorite part about Twilight Princess so far is all the different characters and their unique personalities--for instance how all the shop keepers are distinct.100LittleDollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149407280133225570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18703704.post-56393322069392247362007-01-15T14:47:00.000-08:002007-01-15T14:47:00.000-08:00Psst, it's not "intensive purposes" it's "intents ...Psst, it's not "intensive purposes" it's "intents and purposes" :)<br /><br />Other than that, though, that's definitely an interesting postulation. My experience with the Zelda series ends with A Link to the Past, which didn't feature much in the way of characters. Zelda was a constant invisible force, Gannon was the bad guy... other than that, I can't think of any other actual characters (though doubtless there were some).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
