[OOC] Entering the Dungeon...
Character: Link
Series: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Age: 17
Canon: He's a friendly farmboy and part-time canine chosen by the goddesses. She's a sarcastic little shadow-hobo from another world. Together, they fight crime!
...So that's Twilight Princess in a nutshell. One of the more recent entries in Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series, it features, as usual, a courageous hero called Link (or whatever the player decides to name him), destined to rescue Princess Zelda from the evil Ganondorf... you know the drill. In Twilight Princess, our Link du jour lives a peaceful life in his little farm town. But one day monsters kidnap his friends -- and even his horse, Epona! -- and he finds that the world outside has been consumed by perpetual twilight. Captured and trapped in the form of a wolf, Link is forced to team up with the ever-bossy imp Midna to regain his normal body and save both Hyrule and the Twilight Realm from the false king Zant.
As is usual for the Zelda games, Link has no dialogue lines. Now, that's not to say he can't speak. Other characters react to things he's said; it's just the player who doesn't get to hear it. But Link's so expressive that he doesn't really need to speak to have personality. Of course he's the classic heroic type, always ready to leap to the defense of long-time friends and new acquaintances alike. (Goddesses help you if you hurt anyone he cares about!) And over the course of the game Link shows himself to be compassionate, courageous, determined, self-sacrificing, forgiving, devoted, and... easily topped by children and tiny women. In short, he's a big-hearted hero who'll face any odds to do the right thing. There's a reason he carries the Triforce of Courage, after all!
A quick note before we begin: As mentioned above, we never hear Link speak in the game, and there's no Twilight Princess manga yet to take his voice from. So the mods have given the apper permission to take slight voice support from some of the other Legend of Zelda mangas. Oh, and "ReDeads" are basically the Zelda version of zombies.
Sample Post:
Hah... Well, Epona, I think we're officially lost. I'm sure this map I found keeps changing, and half of it is taken up by something called the "center of camp"... That's right, that sign we passed said something about a camp, didn't it? Camp... "Fuck Your Dungeon", I think it was. Boy, if this is a dungeon, it's the strangest one I've ever seen, and I've seen my share. Completely open-air, no enemies beyond a weak kind of ReDead, and the end boss is just hanging out in plain sight! I think that tentacle was waving at me.
We'll make it through, though! We always do. Ah, see? There's someone up ahead! Looks like a little girl... or... Er, is that a monkey in a dress? With purple fur, even. Well, I've made stranger friends before. Maybe she can give us directions... Wait, she's crying! Excuse me! Are you alright, miss? What's the matter? ...A herd of your father's cowbots have escaped? I... guess that must be a local breed or something? Well, it sounds like all you need is someone to round them up before he gets home. Don't worry, miss, you've come to the right person! I may not look like it, but I'm actually an experienced farmhand! ... Well, I think it's something to be proud of...
Come on, Epona, let's show her what we can do! After all the time we've spent herding goats back home, this should be a piece of cake! Those must be the cowbots up ahead. We just have to get their attention and scare them into the pen. Get into position... and... Yah! Let's move! That's right, time to -- whoa!! What was that?! Did they just shoot beams out of their eyes? Okay, this suddenly got a lot more complicated... but we can do it. Keep moving at top speed, and I'll -- hey, watch it! You almost hit Epona that time! If you're going to be like that, I'll just have to return fire!
...Whew, was that the last one? I think we did it! But honestly, cows with beams attached to their heads? What are they going to do next, put them on some kind of fish? Oh, there she is. That should do it, miss! You, er, may have to get some of their eyes repaired, though... No, really, there's no need to thank me. Seeing you so happy at least, I think that's happiness is reward enough! But I guess if it's that important to you, I can't really refuse... Wait, you mean this is something that will help against the creature in the lake? That's exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! Alright, here we go!
You got the Iron Chastity Belt! If you have this equipped, certain "surprise back attacks" will be ineffective.
...Maybe it's not too late to try the non-violent approach?
------
And he comes in with a solid eighty-eight percent!
