So, for some reason each blog entry is referred to as "article" and then we have another mode specially for articles too and it seems to be very confusing. So please be aware that inside the blog menu:

1. You can have more than one blog, so if you want to have a blog for recipes and a blog for personal entries, etc. you can make separated blogs.

2. Blog = Name of your journal

3. Article - Blog entry on a chosen 'blog'.

I don't want to go in depth and substitute each instance of "article" for blog entry, as I don't want to mess up the system itself but at least for the drop down menu in our header, I've gone ahead and extended the name to hopefully make it easier to understand. Feel free to give it use.

We have a few 'categories' available, but I am more than happy to add some more to make it easier for everyone to sort and find the type of blog entries/articles you want to read.

Wow! It still works.

If you can't drag the button, you can still manually right click, save the target link and save it in a new bookmark.
I recommend you name the bookmark their original address of "https://kickassapp.com/" so you can track the web back if you ever need to.

javascript:var KICKASSVERSION='2.0';var s = document.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';document.body.appendChild(s);s.src='https://hi.kickassapp.com/kickass.js';void(0);

This also made me realise how dangerous can be just blindy dragging bookmarks without checking before hand the actual target url saved.

Do you have a target amount of books you try to read per year?

If you do, do you have any exclusion criteria?
For example, is there a genre you don't count? do you include the ones you decide not to finish?
Do you have a minimal amount of pages for it to count like a proper book?

Do you have a record? And are trying to break it this year?

It seems to be a regular thing that many people take the whole month to celebrate the Halloween vibe.

Some people marathon movies and shows, some got special t-shirts, others decorate their home interior with, dinner sets, figurines, wall decorations, etc.

How about you? How much do you celebrate? The full month? Just Halloween? Or is it not your thing?

I've been watching the anime adaptation of the manga of Ranma 1/2 through Netflix.
It is a bizarre experience as I grew with the '90s anime.

What is something you wish you did more often?

Hijacking my own thread to let you know I've spent today moving a lot of the areas oof the community. It'd been in my mind for a while and today I decided to might as well do it. I mean, with my back pain is not like I can run anywhere, hahah.

So here's the stuff I can recall I've done:

1. Compressed a lot of zones and I merged/hide/removed empty and too similar areas. I want to simplify the index to hopefully bring a strong first impression. I also renamed a few zones again alluding to past Zelda communities like Zeldamania and TSR, hahah.

2. Brought Zelda fan creations front and center. I ripped them from the projects area as it seems we got people just joining to share but not really being part of the community so I figured might as well have it easy to locate. A decade ago I was really trying to push for the use of the gallery but right now I am just going with the flow, so if most people just find easier to post a thread and that's what they have done, then might as well put it easy to find.

3. Moved the portable and main Nintendo forum tree inside "Classic Nintendo". While most Zelda fans are by extension nintendo fans, having some many sections in the main index with our level of activity was not the best look. But the structure is just like we had it, just inside the Classic Nintendo noodle.

FUTURE STUFF TO BE WORKED ON:

• Fix broken images and smilies,
• Create more discussion on the latest Zelda stuff happening.

Maybe that'll be the next thing I'll work on when I have a good weekend. I want to get the forum look neat so I can share it in the other communities I enjoy.
Let me know if there's anything else you think I should have a look at.

Wake up babe, a new local Brissie band is here

We actually went to see them at a local small club and they were really good. So much energy and pretty cool array of songs. I have been listening to their spotify "popular" playlist.

Well, too be honest I am usure how things are with the rest of the staff, but I still hover around from time to time, haha.
This is probably the deadest(sp?) the forums have been in recent years

I might try something even if it is to bring a bit of movement. I am sure we all have been very busy with life and the gaming news landscape recently have been a bit "yikes" hahaha, but I guess taht's part why I want to recover a bit of this corner of the internet.

Got my very first smartphone last year

One of us! one of us!!

Quote from Lace Sabatons

"insert attachment into post" does not look the way I expected, lmao

Funny the main part wasn't lost. But yeah, any thumbnail view seems to try and force a landscape kind of dimension.

I've realized I missed a bunch of stuff.

I didn't know you could use amiibos to unlock outfits and I never got to the Great fairies.

How did you guys do?

Yeah, Lace Sabatons I know it's been 10 years but I am still curious. Haha

This is an initiative of a different community than us, but one that I wanted us to partake into. Hopefully every year. It is a day of celebration!

This is pretty much a day to reflect on the different communities than have shaped us. All the friendships we've gained through them and the significance of online communities even today.

I know a lot of us members have been in communities for many decades. Some are here and some have left us.

Just on Zelda communities I have had the pleasure and the sadness of being part of many different communities and see some of them flourish and then leave. In general, because of newer technologies and the change of priorities as we grow older with our own families and things to attend, most communities ahve been sufferinga huge hit in activity and perhaps it will not be what we remember but it doesn't change that those moments existed and those bonds grew. It doesn't change that there are still people that find a home in online communities and still visit this and other forums to get their fill.

Heck, Kyde has seen me growth since the early days of the community and the first merges. The way my English and priorities have moved. Some of you know me from decades. Some of you were my high school friends. It is amazing to me how online communities had a positive impact in my life. I am sure y'all know this, I met Sardonic Pickleon an online forum. It was a forum we both joined on the same night and hit it off from the forum games. How could I have predicted that I would be today making this thread (with more than double of the age I had back then) being married for over a decade and living in the other side of the world? but here we are.

TSR, do I need to say more? How many of us got together back in those days? How different our opinions and priorities were? hahah.
ToH cannot go without mention.

I am always going to treasure those days.

And with Zelda cavern, I also had no idea that I was going to circle back here but they sure put up with me back then. I know a lot of the staff from then is gone but there area few that still come from time to time and just being able to see how much Zelda Cavern has withstand and constantly changed and how much I have changed too from my first posts. This is all pretty emotional to me. So I'll keep coming back here and a few other communities that will always be my home.

So come and gather, and let's talk about the communities that marked us. Let's bring those funny tales. As blurry as my memory is getting, let's reminisce of the members that made those communities what they were, and I quote "Linkers always comes back".

As for my impressions:

It was interesting seeing all the framerate tanking in the screenshare. I think that is by design. They probably limiting so you use the sharing screen as reference without being too taxing on your system. It reminds me a bit of the N64 Mario Kart, haha.

Not sure if I'd be using much the camera even if I buy one, hahaha.
Also how going from mouse to control mode seems to be seamless without needing to use a menu.

Also Soul Calibur II, did they had mercy on me and are giving me another chance to try to redo this game and get all the tools for Link, because I'll do it!

Metroid Prime 4 is looking reeeeal good.

Quite a lot to unpack here, but for those who want to watch the direct here it is:

I am happy they explained better the joycons and the C button: Game chat!
- Microphone being able to filter and pick up your voice while on dock mode.
- Can share your gaming screen even when playing different games.
- Can buy a camera to show your face while chatting.

Game share - That is pretty neat being able to lend out the digital games, I just wonder if we can lend to the same person multiple times ina row or if there will be some sort of limit to avoid people finishing gams and instead just hooking them into buying their own if 2 weeks is not enough.

NINTENDO GAMECUBE for NSO Expansion - Including The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

And what's this? Another Hyrule Warriors coming up?

What did you guys think of the features?

Yeah, I am awaiting for the Nintendo Direct before building up Hype. I guess if there was a big Zelda game rumoured I'd be more excited, but then again... I was still hoping for the Twilight princess and Windwaker remakes to make it to the switch before coming to pass.

Do you guys think we'll have it as good with the transfer of classic Zelda titles in the new console? The switch good a good amount with their NSO and their console made titles. 3DS was pretty good too, specially if you got Ambassador for being an early adopter.

Quote from Kyde

I was like damnit I just bought an OLED Switch lol

Hahaha. What a timing!

Hopefully we can still enjoy the Switch for a little it more while they announce stuff and create hype.

The joycon mouse rumoured functionality got my attention.

I am not too much into sports, but then again Captain Tsubasa got me into soccer from a young age, so I am sure they can make almost any sport exciting, hahah.

In that sense, yeah, it is not very often you see sport based anime.

The Secret Garden. I can't even defend it. I wasn't attracted to other cartoons like it , but this one got me curious.

It was also one of the few anime at its time that did not get its intro dubbed to Spanish, so this song lives rent free in my head.

Later on learned it was based on a book and there even is a movie. I suspect this anime was padded out with extra characters and stuff but I never got my hands in the book.

This is the trailer:

And here is a break down of it:

What are your thoughts on the console?

From left to right: Customary Attire, Disguise and Royal travel Attire.

To be honest I finished the game and didn't really do much to find the other costumes, but I am hoping this thread shows me just how much of a mistake that was, haha. Maybe you have a favourite.

Out of the main ones displayed in the image above, I like the first two. Specially the one with the Pony tail however, if I can be really honest. My favourite look is the Customary one, that is on the very left. I guess because it reminds me a lot of the one Young Adult Zelda used in Ocarina of Time.
