From a hater to a believer : A Zelda Story

"Zelda games? How unoriginal!!!" I used to utter those words, near the time of the release of Zelda64 I thought of Zelda games as a waste of a gamer's time. I said things like: "All you do is save a princess and then defeat the dude who took her, boring!!!!" or "Look at his haircut, it makes him look like some kind of Hanson-Elf!!" etc.
    Over time however, I grew drawn towards Zelda games, when I played Super Smash Bros. with my cousins I would always want to play at Hyrule Castle and I would sometimes play as Link. Finally, when my birthday came, I got to choose any Gameboy game I wanted, at the time all I had was a Gameboy Color, Pokemon Red and Conker's Pocket Tale's. I thought about it hard and I finally chose, you guessed it, Zelda DX. After reading the instruction booklet, I set to playing.
    When I saw the opening sequence the first time I was amazed, the music totally fitted in with the action happening on the screen, sometimes I would just sit there and hum with the opening tune...To this day I still play the game, trying to get the Instruments of The Sirens' and awakening the Wind Fish, for I no longer just control Link, I actually am Link.
