It&#8217;s a fault in me, I know and accept this, and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s ever going to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, how goes my plan of playing through all of the Legend of Zelda video games? If we reference the <a href=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=8761\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8761\">original document<\/a>, it actually turns out that I&#8217;m ahead of schedule. I finished up through <strong>Link&#8217;s Awakening<\/strong> in January, and probably a lot of that has to do with the fact that the four original Zelda games are relatively short. There&#8217;s even video evidence to back up this claim! Though most of it won&#8217;t go live for months&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow my harrowing playthrough of Zelda II, which will be airing a new episode each Thursday during February. The first two episodes are up now, and I think that they set a pretty goo precedent for how the rest of the game unfolds. You can also read a thing that I wrote about the game <a href=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=8828\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8828\">here<\/a>, on how I would change the game to be a little more player-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - Part 1\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ciAngjQpnI4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past<\/strong> will start on Feb 28, and I think I&#8217;m going to have to speed up the video release timeline if we&#8217;re going to get through all of these games by the end of the year. Right now it&#8217;s kind of getting bogged down by <strong>Witch Hunt<\/strong>, which I knew that nobody would watch, but I remain adamant that I want to keep it on schedule. It&#8217;s a good game and deserves some time to shine. Even if nobody ever sees said shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going into February, I&#8217;ll be starting up the <strong>Ocarina of Time<\/strong> playthrough just as soon as the little HDMI goober that I bought for my Wii arrives. Why do I need to play OoT through the Wii, you ask? Because I&#8217;m playin&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=8705\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8705\">Rando<\/a>, baby! Sure, I could use an emulator, but I would rather use legit hardware for these playthroughs as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s the update. It&#8217;s going well! At this rate, I should hit <strong>Breath of the Wild<\/strong> by July. I really hope so.
