I only got through one Zelda game (<strong>Majora&#8217;s Mask<\/strong>), but also I played it twice, so&#8230; Do I get extra credit? <strong>The Wind Waker<\/strong> is chugging along at a nice clip, and as long as I make it to the end before April is over, I&#8217;m still on schedule. But the games are getting longer, and we&#8217;re in <strong>Monster Hunter Rise<\/strong> season now, which is probably going to be the focus of most of my video game hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next on the list is <strong>Four Swords Adventures<\/strong>, and I&#8217;m thinking about cutting it out. It&#8217;s just not very fun to play alone. And getting a group together that is actually going to commit to completing the game seems like an impossible task. Plus&#8230; it wouldn&#8217;t be recorded anyway. So I could just write a story about how I got a bunch of people together to play it off-camera, and you&#8217;d never know if it were true or not anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, skipping FSA will get me to <strong>The Minish Cap<\/strong> faster, which I actually <em>do<\/em> want to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>On the video front, <strong>A Link to the Past<\/strong> and <strong>Link&#8217;s Awakening<\/strong> are now wrapped. Nobody has actually watched a single episode of either one. That&#8217;s fine. I didn&#8217;t really expect much, especially since they&#8217;re really long episodes. <strong>Ocarina of Time<\/strong> and <strong>Majora&#8217;s Mask<\/strong> each have a single episode out on the old YT channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter 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=\"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Randomizer - Part 1\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nmfqluJBFvc?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>I&#8217;m finding that with these longer games, I&#8217;m feeling more open to making a lot of cuts to trim the fat. Especially since I played OoT Randomizer, so there was a lot of aimless wandering. Plenty of that did get left in, but I chopped out almost as much. Knowing this, I played MM with the expectation of making cuts, so I was just silent during the portions that I intended to edit out, which made that part of the editing process a <em>lot<\/em> easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter 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=\"The Legend of Zelda: Majora&#039;s Mask - Part 1\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bgAepLTKx6w?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>There&#8217;s nothing unprecedented happening on the list this month.
