Where'd that name come from? I mean, in OoT they were called the Gossip Stones, and the only reason the King Of Red Lions could communicate with you when you weren't riding him was because of his Gossip Stone-derived walkie-talkie (and he specifically calls it a "Gossip Stone", too). Which game is that from?

I'd like to hear this myself, actually. I just tried a search and couldn't pull up anything.

Well, that's what I refered to them as since they have the symbol of truth on them, and the mask of truth communicated with them. I believe they might have at one point been referred to as "Stones of Truth" in Ocarina of time, but I've never seen it in any other game that I can recall. Gossip stone is the common term.

No mention that I can find, and the Wiki says nothing.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Well, maybe I came up with it on my own in my many play throughs. When I'm at home I'll look around and see what I find. Probably just projected the name of the mask onto the stones. I am aware of the gossip stone term as well.

Eh. Doesn't much matter, and "Stone of Truth" isn't exactly a bad name for them.

That is adorable.

I'm pretty smitten with this girl - she loves Zelda as much as I do. Keeper?

[Lentrax]

Well, much as I would like to advise you on that, Wombat, there are more things in life than Zelda.

Her positions on ST, SW, DW, other games, movies, things I won't mention here...

But hey, so long as she shares more than just one interest with you, I would prolly say, heck yeah!

Good.

Very good.

The question you have to ask isn't "Should I keep her" it is "Could I not keep her". Then you'll have your answer.

But yes, being a Zelda fan is a major bonus. In fact, there's a picture around here somewhere... ahh here it is:

I can't see it at the moment (work computer) but I will do a looksee. How is everyone's christmas?! I celebrated Christmas eve playing skyward sword. I'm at the part with:

The three dragons where you have to collect the pieces of the heros song. Just finished Faron's woods being flooded and got my last piece of the song by collecting all of the tadnotes.

[Proud Tortoise]

At first I didn't realize you had to spin to pick up tadnotes. That was very frustrating indeed.

SAME! Good thing I'm a social whore and talk to everyone! Sensative Wii mote is sensative

[Landis963]

Ah, the tadtones. I'm still not sure why Faron insists on wasting time. she should at least have explained why Link could take a moment to relax and pick up all the tadtones.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Compared to the other two, it is agreed that this task was much lamer.

[Landis963]

The three dragons:

Lanayru: "I'd sing you my part, but I'm dying."

Eldin: "I'd sing you my part, but you need to prove yourself. Oh Wait! You already have!"

Faron: "I'd sing you my part, but you need to prove yourself. Go scour the woods for these tadpoles and I might sing it for you. If I'm feeling nice."

[Goldfly]

I just figured I'd drop by to notify you all, because you might be interested: Zeldathon has started! 5 days of Zelda games and silly donation incentives, with all proceeds going towards charity: water!

[TheWombatOfDoom]

So, anyone have any advice for making Link's tunic? I'm planning on cosplaying as him and I sew, though I'm looking for a good pattern or something to base it on so I'm not free cutting/sewing.

It's a basic tunic pattern. Heck, you could use the pattern of a short-sleeved shirt and get pretty close. here are some examples.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Nice link! (hur hur) What about his hat?

[ShneekeyTheLost]

Nice link! (hur hur) What about his hat?

Santa's hat without the poofy at the end or the trim in green.

[Sith_Happens]

Oh yeah, we have a Zelda thread. I suppose I should post this, shouldn't I?

Whaaaaaaaaat! Nice! But they should stop remaking things and bloody well get to making new games.

[Drascin]

Whaaaaaaaaat! Nice! But they should stop remaking things and bloody well get to making new games.

They basically said in the feature where they revealed this game, "since the next Zelda title we're working in is going to take a while, we're gonna release this remake to whet you guys' appetite" .

[Triaxx]

I wonder if we'll have a touch screen menu? It would make it easier to find and organize things for the shoulder and z buttons.

I wish the Ocarina of Time remake hadn't just been for a handheld. :( Of all the games, I've found windwaker to be the easiest.

[Mewtarthio]

I don't mind. It's always a shame when great console games go unplayed because no one has the consoles anymore.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

But you can play windwaker on two consols. I don't have the wii-U, I actually know virtually nothing about it. I pretty much bout the wii for skyward sword and smash brothers, I'm just sad that I didn't get another game before the moved to a new system.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

So I just got in the mail my copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Collector's Edition. I now have myself a gold copy of the game, thus completing my collector's edition collection of the series. XD

[Lentrax]

That is awesome.

Got myself a new wii. Finally get to play SS.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Breathes life into thread!

So how is everyone doing! Currently trying to figure out how to make a hook shot/where to find accurate bottles to the games. I'm costume making!
