Four Swords - Oh yes, it was extremely short... only 4 dungeons?
Wind Waker - Well, considering I never really did that, I can't argue...
Twilight Princess - It really is quite a barren world. The game has excellent graphics but the overworld just looks... dark. WHERE R U COLOURS!? And yeah, Nintendo were only creative with the mini-bosses/bosses.
Skyward Sword - Really? I thought the overworld was really eye-catching. And I like Fi but she's like a robotic Navi... though one of my favorite lines from her is when Scrapper calls her Mistress Fi and she's like, "..........."
BTW, I'm going to be doing several art projects for this club. I'll make Wallpapers, Avatars, Drawings, and even maybe an animated sprite of Link (If I can get better at that stuff).
Hey, nice! can't wait to see what you come up with, and thanks by the way (: !

Twilight Princess- The overworld is so, barren. I never find myself exploring Hyrule Field and its just unecessaringly large. Another thing would be that there is no creative way to kill enemies. Its just so boring to fight regular enemies.
Skyward Sword- The overworld is large, but its not very appealing. Plus Z-Targeting is only useful for the sword. Plus Fi is in this game!
And thats it. Now to continue my hunt for Four Swords Adventures. I WILL FIND YOU!
Twilight Princess - Lool, I agree with you.. the overworld was just dark.. and no one was there, besides annoying trolls on pigs at night trying to run you over. It was big, and when paths were blocked I had a crappy time getting all around the other side just to get to one place.
Skyward Sword - I liked its graphics, they were pretty good. Atleast I liked the motion control in this one, but it was annoying to have to re-sync it if it got out of sync. Am I the only one that think this game is kinda short.. I dunno >_<!
Edit; Can't you buy a game off someone from eBay? or..?

NEON! The size of this wallpaper is 1366x768, which is the resolution for my desktop. If you wish to use this, make sure your desktops resolution is of that size.

When I played WW me and my friend said that the KoRL used the Wind Waker as a chew toy... it was pretty funny. xD He's tying with Midna to be my favorite companion.

This is actually semi-based off of an already existing image of Tetra and Link (OTP, it's my guilty pleasure :3). I'm not used to drawing humans.

What do you think about Link's guest appearance games, such as Soul Caliber II and Super Smah Brothers?
I love both of these games, and their series'. Both are really fun, and Link is kick-*** in both. I love, and still do love, N64 bros, Melee, and Brawl. Soul Caliber must have at least 24 hours logged on it. If anyone has played one of these games, join in on the discussion!
Claimed Majora's Mask/Skull Kid from the Legend of Zelda.
I am a leader of The Legend of Zelda Club. Come on down and check it out!
^Played a bit of Super Smash Bros but not a lot, so I don't really know what to say for that.
I think everyone is asleep so, I've brought some new topics to try and get more posts, as hardly anyone is posting at the minute:
-What is the funniest thing you've encountered in the Zelda series so far?
The amount of funny moments in the LoZ series is too damn high! Seriously though, I came up with this topic and I can't even answer it.
-Most memorable moment?
In WW, at the end of the game... MASTER SWORD TO THE FOREHEAD! I've heard the OoT did a Master Sword to the forehead as well, but in WW, Link is high in the air and then gravity starts to take effect and the force of gravity puts a high amount of pressure on that attack. Then Ganondorf turns to stone. And THEN you realize, this was all done by a kid. Epic ending is epic!
-What's your favorite song from the series in general?
I can't pick a favorite but it's between these:
-Gerudo Valley (OoT)
-Original Fire Temple theme (OoT; I love it too much!)
-Dragon Roost Island (WW)
-Midna's Lament (TP)
-Snowboarding (TP)
-Darkworld (ALttP)
Too many favorites to decide properly.

-Hmm funniest moments for me is probably the sound the Goron in Clock Majoras Mask makes when he is asleep. Very not important to the game but when I was younger I just thought it was to funny haha
-Most memorable moment is either the whole final sequence of OoT from when you get to the top of Ganons tower to the end of the game or in TP when you have to rescue Colin from the bokoblins.

Well, I don't have that much to say about OoT and MM as I STILL haven't play them but I thought that the scene after saving Colin in TP was a bit dramatic. Expressing his feelings and then fainting. Wow.

Most Memorable Moment - I will agree, UPWARDS-SPIN-ATTACK-DOWN-THRUST-SWORD-TO-FOREHEAD ATTACK!
Favorite Individual Song - Song of Healing from MM. Its just so soothing. (Unless you play it backwards. Get my reference?)
What do you think of Link's other Appearences - I like to use him in Brawl, and Toon Link is my 2nd best character next to Kirby when playing.
Oh my god! I completely forgot about the catapult and barrel launch in WW. I'm an idiot, that's a memorable moment as well as a funny moment.
I was watching a few clips from ST earlier and I saw this little gem of a cutscene at the beginning of the game: Zelda freaks out. Pretty hilarious.
I'm just remembering Zelda from SS, pushing Link off every high area she spots. SCREW YOU SAFETY!

To be honest, Im kinda immature, I laugh at everything but that part when Ganon dies in Twilight Princess is pretty funny. Hm, most memorable moment was when I finished Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess, and all those times I beat bosses and enemies! But all that aside, I liked when Link first unleashes the Master Sword.

I think when I was little my big bro bought the game Soul Caliber II, and I had a play.. I never knew who Link was back then but yeah. I think we lost the game now xD. Link kicks *** in Super Smash Brothers, my brothers use Link so much that they always beat me with him, the other Zelda characters in Super Smash Brothers are okay.. never was a fan of using Zelda, Toon Link or Ganon.

The Master Sword being unleashed is always so dramatic. I sorta ruined the moment in WW (I'm not saying why, it's weird) but that moment in TP with Link's wolf curse being finally broken and it just looks really epic. I started a new file on TP a few days ago and used the infamous 'get the Master Sword early' glitch. ^^'
Also for funniest moment, I don't why I like this, I just do. In WW, I was going over some of the side quests and you know that one where you have to help Maggie, after she becomes rich, deliver a letter to a Moblin named Moe in the Forsaken Fortress, and Moe's reply is just the best:
The funniest moment is DEFINITELY Link hitting the wall in WW.
Really don't have an opinion on Link's appearances in other games other than that I like Toon Link in Brawl and will probably use SS Link in whatever SSB game gets released on the Wii U.
So, I sort of brought this up earlier, but I wonder if the multiplayer in Zelda game for the Wii U could be online. It'd be very interesting if we could group up that way to play some night.
Speaking of, does anyone else here have a Wii U?

Yep, we had a hilarious moment like that then the... Forsaken Fortress. At least it's not as bad as the Ocean King Temple thing from PH. I've heard that's like Forsaken Fortress x50.
There have been rumors about it being multiplayer, but I'm not so sure about online. If it was online, I would die from sheer happiness. It would be epic!
By the way, in relation to the fanwork that I do for this club, I'll start doing that animated Link sprite soon enough and I've started writing a fanfic. I'm only on my second page and it's Link x Tetra (I CAN'T HELP IT!!).
One last thing, I found a fun little birthday scenario game for LoZ on Memebase and I was wondering what you guys got for your results:
I'm apparently married to Jabu Jabu... (January 27th)
I'm listing my family and friends results in a spoiler below because I can:
Spoiler:- results:

Multiplayer isn't a rumor, but it's not exactly set in stone, either. It was stated as something they're trying out and it sounds like they'll go all the way with it in some form or another.
I got murdered by Vio. Fun.
(Didn't know who that was. I looked it up, It's purple!Link.)
Link to your fic?
I might start writing a fic as well when I get a proper computer. Depends if I can think of a good plot.
(Maybe I'll orphan a plot bunny from somewhere?)

Well I've heard people talking about it being multiplayer, so rumor or not, people are discussing it.
Oh I see now! Violet Link. I was wondering where he was because it had normal Link, Red Link and Blue Link and I was like, "Where the hell is Fuchsia Link?"
It's still better than being married to Jabu Jabu.
I'll post a link when it's finished and I've uploaded it to FF.net.

I feel that way as well. Even though playing games online with friends is enjoyable, it provides more of a challenge to do everything yourself. I feel like we're talking too much for an online Zelda game that doesn't even exist. Besides, LoZ doesn't seem like a series to go online and play.
Eaten by Red? Interesting... I wish I was born 26 days earlier than what I was because I would be married to Link (Married - January, Link - 1st). I've already mentioned enough already that I'm in love with Link, Toon Link specifically.
I'm trying to think of new topics to post so the thread can get lively... I can't think.
EDIT:
I maybe found something to talk about. On IGN, I found 10 interesting facts about OoT you may not know. If you're interested, take a look at the spoiler below:
Spoiler:- oot facts:
1: There used to be a jump button
Yoshiaki Koizumi revealed that the auto-jump mechanic that 3D Zelda games are known for actually came along later on in Ocarina of Time's development. At first, just like in Super Mario 64, you had to push a button to make Link jump. This was removed to simplify the experience and shift the focus to the puzzle elements rather than the action.
2: Original Ocarina team was only 3 people
While Nintendo President Satoru Iwata admits that Ocarina of Time eventually became "a massive project that mobilized nearly everyone who belonged to EAD at that time," it initially started out as a three-member team made up of Jin Ikeda, Toru Osawa, and eventually Koizumi-san.
3: Chanbara Movies Were a Huge Inspiration
It was Takao Shimizu's (of Star Fox 64 fame) idea to make a Zelda game with chanbara-style action (chanbara is a type of Japanese sword-fighting movie).
"When people talk about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, they mention various things like an epic story, solving puzzles, trotting across a broad field on a horse and how cool Link is, but it began with the single theme of making a Zelda game that included chanbara-style swashbuckling!" Iwata-san said.
4: It all started with Zelda II
Apparently Koizumi-san and Shimizu-san were huge fans of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. In fact, before Super Mario 64, Koizumi-san had actually been working on a polygonal Zelda II with Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto for the SNES.
"We were experimenting with a thin, polygon Link seen from the side and fighting with his sword," Koizumi-san said. "Chanbara was a pending issue at the time. We couldn't really bring Zelda II: The Adventure of Link into form at that time, but I kept that desire to achieve a sword-fighting Zelda game until I joined this team."
5: OoT was almost in first person
While it's hard to imagine a Zelda game where you can't see the Hero of Time, Koizumi-san reveals that at first Miyamoto-san wanted to make Ocarina of Time a first-person perspective game.
"In the beginning, he had the image that you are at first walking around in first-person, and when an enemy appeared, the screen would switch, Link would appear, and the battle would unfold from a side perspective," Koizumi-san said.
Even though, after working on Super Mario 64, Koizumi-san knew how incredibly difficult it would be to constantly display a character running around a huge field, he still resisted the idea. "While it wasn't very nice of me toward Miyamoto-san -- I didn't try a first-person scene even once!"
Hard to imagine not seeing good 'ole Link.
The reason? As the one who created Link's model, Koizumi-san couldn't stand to see Link not appear in the game. "Link is cool, so I wanted to always be able to see him," he said. Luckily, some nifty things came out of this hard-headedness, as Z-targeting (a revolutionary mechanic that has since been copied countless times) was invented to help make battling in third-person possible.
6: The Play's the Thing -- Z-Targeting's Roots
The idea for Z-targeting came to Koizumi-san while he and Osawa-san were at Toei Kyoto Studio Park. While they had already started thinking about a better way to hit opponents in front of you during Super Mario 64's development, a sword-fighting show at the park is what made it all click. As he watched, Koizumi-san wondered how it was possible that they had one hero defeating 20 ruffians at once.
"I thought there must be some kind of trick, so I watched very closely, and it was simple," he said. "It's a sword battle, so there's a script and a certain setup. The enemies don't all attack at once. First, one attacks while the others wait. When the first guy goes down, the next one steps in, and so on." This helped him figure out how to make Z-targeting work with multiple enemies. "Watching that show at the studio park was a clue toward solving that problem. Z-targeting flags one particular opponent, telling the other enemies to wait."
7: Navi used to be a triangle
Yes, you heard correctly. Navi started out as a triangle... which arguably would have been better for all of us. When figuring out exactly how to make the Z-targeting system work, Koizumi-san remembers that they wanted to make it easy for players to tell which enemy they were targeting. That's where the idea of using an upside-down triangle as a marker came about. This triangle eventually became Navi, the loud-mouthed fairy we've all come to know and love/hate. "I was a designer, so I didn't want to use such a simple marker," Koizumi-san said. "I wanted to make something else, so I came up with a fairy. After all, it was The Legend of Zelda."
Koizumi-san ideally wanted to make a cute girl for the fairy, but as it wasn't possible with the N64 hardware, he made it a ball of light with wings instead. "I called it the Fairy Navigation System." When he showed Osawa-san, he immediately came up with the idea of naming it Navi "because she navigates!" Once the name was set, the ideas started rolling in, like using color to tell whether the person you're facing is good or bad and making Navi an important guide for the story.
8: Link was nearly deprived of a childhood
While the concept of going back and forth between childhood and adulthood is now a defining characteristic of the game, at first Link was only going to be featured as an adult. The development team felt this best suited the chanbara style of combat. "With a child form, the sword would be small and his reach too short, so he would be at a terrible disadvantage, especially against large enemies," Osawa-san explained.
Not too surprisingly, these plans were thrown out when Miyamoto-san and a few others on the staff declared that they wanted to see "a cute little Link." Not ones to turn down a challenge, they started thinking about how they could have both the child and adult forms of Link appear in the same game. "[We] came up with the device of going seven years into the future by drawing the Master Sword and then returning back to his child form when he returns it to the pedestal," Osawa-san said.
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma admits this change was an important one. "The game transformed into something completely different from what we had imagined before," he said. Another thing they had to reassess during development was their original intention to have Link get a spell for each sage he awakened, for a total of seven spells he would acquire in over the course of the adventure. "But to maintain the appropriate balance with the other items, we decided to limit the final number of spells to three, one for each of the three goddesses."
9: Epona was nearly in Super Mario 64
Epona is well-known as Link's constant companion in 3D Zelda games, but she almost made her debut in Super Mario 64. The idea of having a horse in the 3D platformer was eventually dropped, but Koizumi-san was intent on doing it for Ocarina of Time.
As for where the loyal steed got her name, that idea came from Koizumi-san. The team was initially calling her Ao, but he insisted they go with Epona. "Epona is the goddess of horses and fertility in Celtic mythology, so I used that," Koizumi-san said. "When you name something, it increases your affection for it, so I worked hard to make her a good horse."
10: Link wasn't always a pretty boy
Link is known for his sharp, elflike features, but Koizumi-san revealed that his design went through many changes. At first the Hylian hero actually sported a button nose and more rounded features. This design changed at the urging of Koizumi-san's wife. "[She] said, 'All of Nintendo's characters have funny noses. Don't you have any handsome ones?' I was shocked." As a result, he made Link's design "a little better-looking," and pierced his ears to make him a little cooler.

New question: Do you prefer Epona, King of Red Lions, or a Loftwing?
Loftwing for me.
Yes I liked Loftwing the most too. I mean it sucks there was really no where to fly besides some random floating rock or small island but flying around was still fun XP
