Long ago a legend was told
Of a great power cast in gold.
If evil used the land would blight,
But a hero's heart would bring the light.
So doth the legend told,
Of the Triforce in the land of gold.

Yet with time the legend did fade,
Till nothing but myth did remain.
So once again the Evil began to rise,
And need of a hero were the people's cries.
For no knights within the land,
Could withstand the Evil's master plan.

Till a boy from the woods did came,
With mighty courage that could not be tamed.
With pure of heart and strength of blade,
He did battle the evil across the plains;
In waters deep and on mountains high,
He did battle the evil with mighty cry.

For time had turned the boy to man.
One who could undo the Evil's plan.
He traveled to the castle of good's spite,
For only his courage could put things right.

He battled through the dungeons for friendship lost,
For if he failed the princess' life would be the cost.
At last the champion reached the tower's top.
He knew this was the end, all best were off.

The Evil Beast stunk like a mire,
Skin like ash, and eyes of fire.
Claws to slash, and teeth to bite,
This Beast was no easy fight.

Thus their battle did begin,
And it looked like the hero wouldn't win.
Bust using his might, he pushed through the pain,
And with a mighty swing cut through its brain.

The battle was over, the land saved,
And the road to healing was now paved.
The Evil vanished, the balance restored
And good from the people's hearts outpoured.

The hero became a legend of his own,
And over time it did fade,
Till nothing but myth did remain.
These are the legends that are told,
In the land of Hyrule, the land of old.

    Last week, I just finished playing Kingdom Hearts 2 for the PS2. The controls are intuitive, the graphics and design of the game are mindblowing, the dialogue, cinematics, and voiceovers are amazing. The difficulty level is just right. The Disney and SquareSoft characters bring a nostalgic experience to the gameplay. Whether you're young or old, you'll want to play this game.
  
    My favorite game growing up without hesitation was Legend of Zelda. The title of this post is almost misleading, because it seems to imply

arcade games. In my childhood, I enjoyed playing DDR at the arcade. Around six years ago, I bought an issue of Nintendo Power. Little did I know this special issue would change my life. There was an article written about a videogame masterpiece. It was a game that has changed my life forever. This game was Legend of Zelda. The reason I got Zelda in the first place was because of the article. I thought that it would be intriguing playing the characters that were celshaded (wait, no, that's Wind Waker-- 3D animation) when I played the game for the first time. I was enthused—I liked everything about it. I liked the battles, the story, the characters, the music, the scenery, and the graphics. It was a nostalgic experience from Ocarina of Time. I kept on playing the games, seeing the plot evolve. I didn't want to stop playing the game because I always wanted to see what would happen next. I kept on playing the game to see what would happen next. I kept on playing and playing taking an occasional break for sleeping and eating. Then something terrible happened. The game ended.
