Will you guys laugh, if I were to say, what's this about? o.O
Boss for real? I really will have to start watching this anime, if it is related to anime.
Sounds fun :^o^:
Hahah. Clara this is about the bosses for the :ooT: videogame.
Most of what we talk that isn't in the general area is videogame-related.Try to keep an eye to the breadcrumb trail of our navigation. :XD:
I am sorry guys. I am terrible. :XD:
I apologise for not keeping a straight schedule with this. This was a prototype to test proper times and response. I am happy to see some participation in both sides and starting January I will love to to make this a recurrent thing with proper prices.
The winning entry belongs to @LinkSkywalker.
As promised he is our first entrance to our Hall of Fame.
I'll probably will try to make some sort of manual little medal for his signature spot when he least expects it. :lengua:

I'll probably pause here until guys attempt to bring the meter back down.
Two thirds seems like a good compromise. :XD:
I haven't started. I want to read the manga so I haven't decided if going anime first and then Manga, skip anime altogether or intercalate them.

I guess the fire burned a bit too soon. With more active users this coukd have been a bit fiercer.

Well, since LS missed my self deprecating joke, it is pretty safe to assume they are aware of this thread but for some reason are not participating.
Maybe they want to crush us witha Raid as soon as we reach certain number. :pokerlink::^^U:
I don't know if it is because I am tired of typing and having it disappear or become outdated with all the great insight you guys have already given but I want to answer this anyway. Hopefully reading this again will bring me back some of the enthusiasm. I loved this thread when it was first published because I just love seeing what people's outlooks are and I find it an opportunity to learn about it. I guess I could just go straight to the short answer reading between the lines and explain why I think is my purpose in this world, or I could give my walls of text and quote every little thing like I usually do. Guess which one is coming. :lengua:
What you wanna do in your life?
I am not sure if you mean what are my life goals or just in general what makes my life worth being lived.
A) I want to act according my moral compass. I believe this is what will make me feel at peace with myself today and tomorrow.
B) I want to finish my Cendres Fiction.
And why you wanna do it?
A. I want to be genuine, acting according my moral compass because in my younger days I didn't not give myself enough credit or an opportunity to question things and reach my own conclusions.
I was so scared of disappointing that I conditioned myself to suppress any thought and during the late teen years I became absolutely miserable when the "want" versus "should" kept becoming dissonant with each other. During taht period I fell short at my school, at my family activities and with my friends. It broke me. Doing what others expect of you without letting yourself flourish out of a disproportionate fear of rejection and disappointment is a mistake that you pay with your self-esteem. I don't mind learning from my mistakes and I want to adopt the "fail faster" mantra to get things done because I have learned that it is easier to regret what you don't do out of silly mental excuses and fear or embarrassment. Now I know I can continue no matter what.
B. I want to let my Cendres fiction out because it is there and if I don't do it. They will all die with me. They won't have a chance to be out. I thought by this age they would be forgotten but instead they keep nagging me to be written down.
Last year and part of this one I broke down and I became terrified of dying, to the point of almost convincing myself I was going to die soon and in an unexpected manner. The idea of our own mortality and their implications. It kept me up at night. I am just another person. A statistic that gets higher each year I conquer. All the people I knew that died younger than me suddenly came back to me. It was a huge period of introspection and seeing what actually mattered for me and how meaningless a name is and our lives and system.
Why was Cendres my biggest regret in those paranoid times? If I were to know I will die before at least empting all I "know" about this tale in a coherent manner, that will be my big regret. I don't care about making it a full book. I don't care for it to become famous. I just need it out because I am the only one that knows it. Being accepted is just secondary. It is pretty weird how my mind clinged to that. I don't think this fiction defines me or that I am alive because of it yet that episode made me realise just how much I value that project.
What would you do If you reach there?
A) Being genuine is a never ending thing. It is a day by day so in a way I am there.
B) Regarding my fiction I haven't thought what would be next but I suspect that the rest of my fiction and invented creatures would like to be out. probably the twins would be the next naggers. perhaps in the end no matter how much fiction I write I will die regretting a tale I had no time to pen down, hahah.
What is your philosophy of life ?
There are a few quotes and thoughts that I would like to guide my life around.
1. Bob Dylan's quote "What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do".
2. Fail Faster. Whatever you plan to do stop waiting for inspiration or the right tools or gaining the skill. Just get on with it and fail. So you can get experience and improve.
3. Life's a buffet: There are so many things around this life that cater our attention yet we tend to be quick to either procrastinate to the future to try them or convince ourselves that we can't commit or it is not worth it. I am trying to fight those thoughts and get involved with whatever gets my attention.
What would you do If you become rich ?
I'd buy a house before anything else. I'll save half of my riches for retirement and emergencies.
I'd travel and help my parents fulfill what i know where their travel wishes.
As for frivolous things probably make sure our place has a pool because I love swimming but I am shy in public. I'd get a good PC and a good Laptop. I'd have multi monitors and two big Tvs for gaming. I'd even buy duplicate latest gen consoles so even if we play online we can still have fun the same room (I used to play Splatoon like this with my past friend and housemate and I miss it greatly).
That said. I don't have an urge to get this amount of money. I'd be cool but I already have a nice lifestyle. All I need is steady income to support it. The only real material possession I crave right now is to having my own place.
In these question you will see a bigger picture your true answer to the question Why are we born?
You don't need to know why were you born. It doesn't matter how you came to be. There is not a defined answer. There is not a set meaning of of life. There is not even a defined you. You create yourself every day with your actions, with how you rationalise your experiences. What is what you want? What for? What do you think could help you achieve it? What you answer today will not be the same in five years and that is fine because we keep changing. So do what makes you feel good and goes accordingly with your moral compass.
The truth is that life has whatever purpose we give to it. Nothing more, and nothing less. And I find that beautiful and uplifting.
I pretty much agree with this.
Now many people give this answer life is for enjoyment ... and that They have a right to live happily so they should live life to fullest and honestly I don't disagree people have full right to live they want to... But I just fail to understand one thing .... How can I enjoy and live life to fullest when I know that So many innocent little children sleep hungry every day and many die every year ... How Do I enjoy when I know women have to sell their chastity to feed them ... How Do I enjoy when I know young girls are kidnapped and how they fear for their safety ... How Do I enjoy when I know out there that in this world children are enslaved into slavery ....
Some of you may think I'm criticizing they way people think But this is not my intent it really is a question in my mind ... as is said everyone has a right to live and it's not their fault if people suffer so they have every right to enjoy their lives and live it to fullest but for me question is HOW ?
So in short the question is how can you enjoy life to its fullest when you know other people have it really bad compared to you? Well, that varies from person to person. The best you can do is to accept that it happens. That the world is full of happenings that are not related to how good or bad a person is. Also be open for the possibility that not every situation is the same and the same people might be seeing their own situation differently.
Just like SL said:
The only difference is that we have an authority over our own lives which we do not have over others
This is something else we have to accept. It is up to them to accept your help or make the call. There is people who does not want to be help or will not repay your kindness the way you expect it.
If there is something really upsetting you can try to give, you can volunteer and help out some people. You can bring more awareness of their situation. Enjoying life is more to do with our attitude than the life we have been dealt. We feed ourselves lies about our own limits and feel content and no contending them just so we don't exit our comfortable bubble. People that we could think have it way worse than us shut our traps by doing things even better than what most of us ever think of trying to do.
Whoa there.....thinking that sort of stuff is depressing according to me.
I think that if we actually start having thoughts about it we shouldn't avoid them. Confronting your doubts and your own beliefs is actually good to keep your self esteem. I avoided this during my teenage years and things just piled up inside of me until they externalised with depression. Go figure.
Well perceptions are highly subjective and can be wrong, We sadly we do have a course of life pre determined , we are born in similar way, we live in similar way and day like everybody
The points we have in common doesn't matter. I can't turn my hair green at will. I can't be immortal. Like some said we start to die from the moment we're born. You are correct. In the big scheme our lives are minuscule. Compared to the universe our daily problems are nothing and our lives are just a quick spark. You said it before taht it was a matter of perspective. This is your only life and the way you live it makes your experiences define you. You might be too similar with someone else but never exactly the same. Not even twins live the exact same life. Cherishing these differences is not, in my opinion, a mistaken perspective.
live the way I wanna live but how? Can you lift you both feet and stay in air? can you put ur hand in fire and not expect it to burn , how can I can't fly like birds . our design and our live is pre defined but not yet
Can you lift you both feet and stay in air? Yes. Going to space. Entering a chamber that lifts you with air, etc.
Can you put ur hand in fire and not expect it to burn. Yes. With special globes.
How can I can't fly like birds. We have planes, helicopters, gliders, etc.
There are things that we share as a species and through the culture we have developed. However a lot of what we have today is thanks to people who challenged those limitations. You can fly, you can stay underwater without gills. Before that I am sure people thought those things were outside the scope and humans were predetermined to stay on the ground.
l I'm not done yet, we are still given some freedom within the boundaries of life and that is where my question comes in you, within that boundary you find an answer for yourself why are you born?
So you mean to answer you outside the "our parents had intercourse" and just focusing in the differences we can make not taking in account nature and other laws that pre-define aspects of your lives?
You say "To live your life the way you want to live...". I think yo enjoy life is important to be aware of those boundaries; no to use them as an excuse to not try to do what you want, but in order to find a way to achieve your goals. You have to use what you have at your disposal. You can choose to ignore all the marvellous creations and progress that our ancestors have come up with and slowly been perfected and instead complain how you don't have feathery wings or cannot race a cheetah using only your feet.
Lastly, supposing that "why am I born" is supposed to be a personal question for introspection and not a general answer. I don't think anything big will happen when I die. The world we keep on moving. When I moved to Australia things changed slowly for my family. Their neighbourhood. I wouldn't have felt the pass of years and I wouldn't have trouble remembering things taht actually took place if I still was living there. I removed myself from the only place I've ever known. My family and the whole country kept on moving. I never was that important. When I die it will be the same. This means that when I was born there was 'nothing' about it. I happened to make the choices I did and develop the tastes I have and even though things could have been very different through a string of events My parents met each other and conceived me, they moved to the city I grew and stayed there for as long as they did. I acquired an N64 and got obsessed with OoT. This obsession made me find HCA on my first online travels. A member from there linked me to TSR. A random MSN chat with zelda admins led me to TGDT. A random guy decided to PM me. We became friends. We ended up falling in love and decided to pursue it. I moved to Australia and I am admin of two beautiful zelda Forums. I don't think this is why I was born. I am not here to do this. This is what I am choosing to do. Things could have been very different but what-ifs are pointless when done in retrospect. I am grateful for the experiences I have gained and I am passionate about certain things. They might change, who knows? I am living mostly one day at the time.
I like this video of Nicholas James Vujicic:
- - - - - - - - - - -
Nobody can end homelessness, but anybody can keep a few spare rolls of socks in their car to hand out to homeless folks they meet. (Socks are really good, by the way. One of the most needed, and under-donated items).
That is an excellent tip.
If we're talking "fabulously wealthy, wish-fulfillment" kind or rich, then I've always wanted to stage elaborate productions of reality-bending weirdness. Like flash mobs, but with a bottomless pit of money.
Like, I dunno, build a giant Majora's Mask moon and have some helicopters take it into the sky in the dead of night, so everybody wakes up with it hovering 300' above their town. Or some shit like that.
ROFLOL! :X'D:
This isn't exactly a new theory and I think that even without the video we can discuss about it. However the video makes it easier to put the points down.
The basic gist is that this family seems to be related to the Sheikahs. They even take some MM game evidence.
What I like is taht you can basically make your conclusions.
About the stone of Agony I thought the name was just a cheeky joke on the added weight that using the rumble pack (same shape as stone-in-game) caused in the N64, as well as the idea of having as a reward a (possibly) heavy rock vibrating at the most inconvenient times. 
I also disagree in taking the cobwebs as an indication of how old the house is. I mean, there are like 5 spiders living there. In just a few months I am pretty sure cobwebs would be everywhere.
What do you guys think about the Cursed Family? Who cursed them?
This video attempts to locate the Temple of Light through different timelines and explain a bit in depthy the Temple of Time through the series. It is a collaboration project between three youtube Zelda theorists. I think it is interesting.
Short attention span?
LS EDIT: 63
Thanks LS.
Nintendo hasn't made a Toon Link cartoon as far as I know. They replaced Hey Arnold characters and adapted the dialogue in this scene. 
Getting hooked is all I need.
(_ _)
I can't bring myself to vote. I hate curse words and I don't seem to get the meaning of the last two entries o.O
You can always do what LS and vote for yourself.
The last one: Miyamoto is the creator or The Zelda franchise and "Hylian" is the race that Link and Zelda belong to.
