I'm Going to Talk About 'The Legend of Zelda' Whether You Like It or Not! ~The Heisei Gal Returns~

I'm shiiimo, a mother of five.
I finally got my third son to sleep after carrying him on my back.
Hehehe, I'm not letting this chance slip away...

Today, I'm going to go with...

Otaku shiiimo feat. a quintessential Heisei gal.

That's the plan.

Uh, why, you ask? Well~~~~ (descending immediately)

Like, I have this super mysterious trait where I turn into a gal whenever I get into otaku stuff.
(Wait, did I?)

If you wanna know about that, check this out first, okay??

So, here's me right now.

It's like my otaku side doesn't know when to quit?
It's probably like, 'Whoa, she's going way too fast, lol, I don't even know what she's saying' www

Because, like, because...

I'm gonna talk about my first love, Link from 'The Legend of Zelda'!!!!!!!! (Squeal)

So, I'm gonna start talking about The Legend of Zelda right now—
Once I start running, there's no stopping me!!! Like, seriously!

Follow me!!!!
Don't get left behind!!!☆

(And as she says that... she's already so far away...)

'The Legend of Zelda' seriously has way too many timelines.

There's nobody who doesn't know The Legend of Zelda, right? (Sudden Mikey reference)

That's how it sounds when you put it into words, but...
Can I just scream one thing real quick??

Seriously, The Legend of Zelda has way too many timelines!!!!!!!!!!

What do I mean? Just look at this.

Wait, the timelines are so split up----!!!!
I mean, the worlds of all the games are actually connected----!!??

I totally get the urge to point out all the weird stuff, too~~.

First of all,isn't it just crazy that there are this many games in the series???
It's so popular it's hilarious lololol

Anyway~
starting off with talk about game timelines,
I'm such a nerd, I'm running away with this, lololol

You don't have to memorize this, okay~!
For now,The Legend of Zelda is insane!Just keep that in mind☆

By the way, this is the official site~~
Seriously, you might get a nosebleed from excitement the moment you open it, so be careful when you click~~!!! (This is a symptom specific to shiiimo, so it's no problem)

You seriously need to know at least this much about The Legend of Zelda!!

Skyward Sword

Hey, wait a second~~~ to begin with.
Didn't the title 'The Legend of Zelda' feel super weird to you??

I mean, Link is the one going on the adventure!!
Zelda is just a princess waiting to be saved, right??
Zelda gets to be in the title and gets all the credit, isn't that a bit much??

Ughhh
you seriously can't say that after playing Skyward Sword!!!(Glare)

At first, Zelda was just Link's childhood friend.
But as she gets caught up in various things, she realizes her own destiny.
From there, behind Link's adventure,
she desperately pursues what she must do alongside her attendant, Impa.
Traveling alone through time and timelines...
For the future, and for Link...

After seeing this, you'll think:

Wooooo!!!!
My Zeldeeeeeer!!!!! (Sobbing)

Zelda isn't just
some princess waiting to be saved!!

That's exactly why this series was 'The Legend of Zelda' all along...!

When you finish it, you'll be hit with all kinds of emotions and you'll definitely be sobbing, so seriously, play it!!! (Wiping away tears while handing over the Switch)

Also, Fi, the spirit of the Master Sword, is super serious but has that perfect touch of tsundere, which makes her way too cute, so that's a must-see too☆

Ocarina of Time

I mean, it's not like I even need to talk about it, right?

The first 3D Zelda title released on the NINTENDO64.
The popularity of The Legend of Zelda really exploded with the general public here~.
The revolutionary game quality is seriously insane, but...

I don't even care about that stuff!! (There it is)

A vast world that could be called the pioneer of open-world games.
The feeling of being able to ride your beloved horse Epona and gallop anywhere.

The cuteness and bravery of Child Link.
The banter with the fairy Navi.
The unique and colorful characters.
The stoic and refined look of Adult Link...
And the harshness of the fate that awaits...

I can't put it into words----!
I can't even express it----!

Link, the guy who completely captivated me when I was little.

I fell in love with him.
I didn't even know what this feeling was back then... (thump)

I'd name the animals in "Harvest Moon" after characters from The Legend of Zelda.
I drew tons of pictures.
I hunted down fan-made manga.
And eventually, I even started drawing my own manga with Link as the protagonist with all my might.
(The way I got obsessed was totally nerdy)

The dark and lyrical world of Ocarina of Time is also irresistible.
Even now that I'm an adult, I can enjoy it from so many different perspectives!
For now, you can play the old 64 games on the Switch, so
give it a try and let me know what you think!!

Twilight Princess

It's the creepiest world in Zelda, but
I don't hate it!!!
The monsters are seriously gross, though!

Hey, just listen to this about Twilight Princess, okay?

・Midna is way too cute with her tsundere personality

She's sassy at first, but as you go on the adventure together, the 'dere' part of her tsundere personality starts to take up almost the whole percentage...
You get separated for a while, but...
In the end, it's just... (sob) (crying again)
Watch the ending!!! Watch the ending!!!

・Link is way too handsome

Even among Zelda fans, the debate over which Link is the coolest is one that keeps coming up.
And the one who keeps making it into the top ranks is this Link from Twilight Princess!
At first, he's just a boy helping out on a ranch (a total hottie),
but as he goes on his journey, his manly side starts to show,
and by the end, he evolves into an incredible hero (a total hottie),
so you just have to watch his growth! Watch it!

Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom

The Legend of Zelda on Switch, including the latest titles.

Breath of the Wild, and its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom.
The depth of the story is seriously so deep that you can't even see the bottom, it's crazy lol.

Above all, the fun of an open world where you can go anywhere you can see on foot.

Just walking around is seriously so fun that time just melts away.

There are so many collection elements too,
so you can enjoy it forever no matter how many times you play through it.

And Zelda's anguish is just... (sobs)

The humanity of Zelda really comes through straight in this work.
As a person, she, the princess, was also struggling.
Zelda was just a girl, troubled by her own helplessness.
Once you realize that,
I just want to go there right now and give her a hug, Zelda, just wait for meeeee!!!
I just can't hold myself back anymore!
Seriously, be careful not to run out of your house!

Well, first of all, there's not enough time to talk about these two games,
so just play them yourself or watch a playthrough, just look at the story!!!
Humanity should really make this a mandatory subject, seriously!!

(By the way, I played through it many times and covered all the collection elements, and I even got to the Trial of the Sword in the DLC, and I was just a little bit away from the end...! But my kids lost the game cartridge and it still hasn't turned up, and I'm crying about it, but that's a secret—seriously, I can't die in peace, maybe I should buy it again...)

What a Heisei gal learned from The Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda.
I thought I'd take a moment to talk about it~
Well, the amount of text is insane, sorry about that???

Because it's seriously so hard!!!!
There was no way it was going to be summarized!!!
Summarizing is seriously impossible!!!

Because the series is too long~
And the characters are all too good~~~
There are even more good games out there too~~~
Seriously, if I talked about everything, it would take two nights without sleeping~~~
And that's bad for my skin~~~ (Health-conscious gal)

So that's why,
I'm sure you were like, "What was she even talking about this whole time???"
and it was totally confusing~~~
But when I see Zelda and Link doing their best,
I just simply think, "I'll do my best too... *sniff*"

Isn't that kind of thing pretty precious?
Other than family, other than friends, other than teachers.
An existence that teaches you important things in life—it seems like it would exist, but it actually doesn't, right?

It actually did exist after all~~~~~!!! (Aaaah~~!!)

Zelda and Link.
Since these two are doing their best in every timeline and every era, I can't help but think,
I've gotta do my best too,
it's seriously mysterious, right~~~.

But my sisters are addicted to Splatoon, so
I can't really get across how great Link is.

So, once the twins get a little older,
I'm going to train them with some otaku education, like,
'Isn't Link seriously cool?'
So just look forward to it, okay☆

I'll confess something at the end though~~~

Actually, shiiimo~~~
wasn't a gal, I just dressed flashily,
and while gals would hang around me, I couldn't really become a gal myself.

So this article was seriously a stretch lol
What even was this lol

But it was kind of fun~~~

You who read this nonsensical game otaku article this far are pretty unique among noters too, lol, hilarious.

So with that,

Thank you for reading!!! (bowing down)

Ah, that was fun~~~
Let's go take some purikura to commemorate this~~~☆ (never learn)

This Heisei gal actually writes notes properly (?) usually~

Even though I look like this, I usually stand at a podium, so it's seriously hilarious.
