Sunday School thoughts

Jun 25, 2006 14:30

I had the absolute funniest idea ever this morning during sunday school.

So we were talking about the Holy Spirit descending and such. And I started laughing. Because the idea of suddenly acquiring the Holy Spirit seems like a Zelda game feature.

You've got the magic powder Holy Spirit!

Accompanied, of course, by the Legend of Zelda fanfare thing ( Read more... )

Is so. Don't be challengin' the Elf King none, son. Ain't none challenginz.

No, I think Jim's right. Link's a Kokiri, right? An invented faux-mythological being, kindofa thing. Elves don't have fairy guardians. That would be silly. But Kokiri do. Or rather…Link is halfway a Kokiri and halfway a Hylian, caught between the two worlds - just as he is caught, one might even say, between childhood and adulthood, innocence and maturity…! Oh, how I loved Zelda back in the day. Look at that allegory! Just look at it! Ocarina of Time, you are my favorite game ever.

Nah, Link ain't no Kokiri. Not even halfway, mang. He just dresses like one. 'Member the Deku tree? It mos def told Link he was a Hylian. So maybe he really isn't an Elf, as in a real Elf type man, but I think Adam believes there should be a race of Elves in every world, and as Hyrule is totally lacking, Hylians were the closest ting, man. It's like a "brutha from anutha mutha" thing, like dey bof got pointy ears, and that's enough to love him for, hey.

He is Hyrulian (Hylian??), I guess.

I count Ocarina of Time as some sort of weird retcon. Link is just some kid, as shown by Link to the Past which I view as the best Zelda game.

I also think it is funny when Nintendo tries to make any sense of continuity out of the games.

I think it's funny that out of a semi-blasphemous/sacrilegious post, the biggest argument is what race Link is.

He's got pointy ears and fights with a sword/bow/assorted medieval weapons. I bestow upon him the honorary rank of Elf, even if he isn't actually an Elf.

Problem solved.

LAME.

luvpirate June 27 2006, 04:39:46 UTC

He's the Elf King, man, he can do that. And p.s. Elf King is the antithesis of LAME.

Maybe, but it's my favorite weird retcon of all time.
