Bill Clinton was a good President, Bush, well...

Hee, true. Sometimes good people are remembered for bad things, therefore they are considered bad, but Bill Clinton was a good president... x:

Just like how Hitler was actually an amazing artist and leader. But since the Holocaust and everything... yeah, he isn't really remembered fondly.

Bush doesn't posses enough intelligence to be evil. He would probaly invade Holodrum because he suspected thay were selling Fused Shadows to terrorists.

I don't like saying that though, because it makes it seem like it isn't his fault, like he was just the big idiot(he is, but he is evil too. Bricks are evil, they are smarter than Bush, albiet, but not too much).

How about where we don't even know who the enemy is, and we think we know that they're an evil psycopath, but they were doing the right thing, or the lesser of 2 evils in they're mind? And a sad ending. I'm tired of those endings where "and they all lived happily ever after". Thats why I HATE LttPs ending. Evey single character survived. Thats why Baten kaitos Origins ending is so good! SPOILER in Origins ending, A LOT of people died, incuding one of the 3 playable characters. LA ending was the best best because only Marin survived, and as a seagull.

Bboy94

Actually none of the people in LA really existed.

Fairy penguin

Really? They seemed to live their lives, have kids, and be people(or animals). They did exist, but only in the dream. How else do you explain the Marin-seagull thingie?

IronKnuckle

Remember, Kololint island was all a dream of the Wind Fish.

Fairy penguin

Yeah, but they still lived there, and had lives. I know dreams can be complicated, but not enough to have tons of people, monsters, and animals. They just couldn't(or wouldn't) leave because Koholint was the entire dream, and the water was a kind of barrier. And when the dream ended, the people didn't have bodies, so they died.

IronKnuckle

The people were a dream too. Everyone and everything in LA except Link and the Windfish didn't exist.

Being that it's called "Legend of Zelda" and all, it'd be kind of weird if Zelda didn't have some important role to play. Even if it were one that could just as easily be filled by anybody else besides her, as it tends to be in....every single Zelda game.

Maybe the whole "Legend of Zelda" thing could be taken a little differently, though. Like, if some one had never heard of the series, not a thing about it, what would they possibly imagine Zelda to be? or who? Would they actually think of a princess in need of saving or maybe a heroic figure on her own? Legendary, of course, as the title would imply.
No matter how different nearly each Zelda game has been from the others, the series can't shake its original theme. I'm still in love with it, but if it was completely wiped or "reboot"ed, I wonder what it'd feel like.

DW

well, mst people think that Link is called Zelda...

Hi no Seijin

Being able to call enter Zelda as your name to access the second quest in the first game probably doesn't help any, eh?

lol not really. and it also helps when the stupid people play the game for ten minutes or just watch it and never see any of the story .
