Hi hi all.

First I'd like to say/write...whatever, Thanks to all those who watch me and favorite my works, sorry to not personally say thanks to each of you, there are just so many. I do appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Secondly, Sorry I haven't been around much, I've been unwell for the bulk of this year and recently I have found out I'm more unwell than I originally thought so yeah. I haven't been around much because of that.

Well that's it for now.

Now my full rant about Master Quest [Cause I need to get it out]

The Great Deku Tree
Now this was the first dungeon one must do. It caught me a little off guard, I had to learn all new controls for I had never played anything except Super Smash Bros Melee on the Game Cube and so it was a little hard getting to know the controls.

This Dungeon was exciting, it was interesting to see how they changed it. I didn’t find it hard but I enjoyed doing something a little different than before.

Dodongo Cavern
Now slightly disappointed that the Deku Tree wasn’t hard I still had hope for the rest of the game. So starting off in this dungeon I quickly learnt that the Dodongo Cavern was a dungeon that was flipped, so basically one was completing it backwards. So I did it quite easily finding out that it was basically the same but with different ' puzzles’ in each room to achieve the same general goal.

Lord Jabu Jabu’s Belly
This was a bit strange this dungeon. THERE ARE FUCKING COWS LODGED IN HIS MOUTH, BELLY, nearly every room has a freaking cow! Still it wasn’t too hard to figure out that one has to shoot the cows to progress further into the dungeon. This dungeon was changed a bit but it was generally the same…and easy…

The Forest Temple
YaY onto Adult Link and the Temples! The forest temple was one that, to be technical, wasn’t exactly like the Ocarina of Time version but for some time one is going in the same general direction. This was the first time I got a little stuck, but that was due to my own stupidity and I didn’t fully look around the room for the Hookshot Plate that was behind me XD But other than that I found it easy.

The Fire Temple
Now this is my first major complaint! I got the Boss Key and the Megaton Hammer near the very start of the dungeon…if you don’t know what that means, it means I could go and fight the boss and skip HALF THE FREAKING TEMPLE! Seriously I skipped half, if not more of the temple it was crazy! I would have liked to finish the full temple but by then I couldn’t be bothered I was too disappointed. The Fire Temple was the first temple I began to think was easier than Ocarina of Time. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed actually having to work things out for a change, its just, I wasn’t expecting to skip half of it.

The Ice Cavern
I didn’t have any prior thoughts about this dungeon. I just went in, had a heart attack when I got owned by a boulder. I skipped half of this Dungeon as well. But then again I skip half of it in Ocarina of Time so that was no big deal. Hey, it was easier than Ocarina.

The Water Temple
Now this is my second biggest complaint. Here I was, dreading the Water Temple since if I had to pick a hard Ocarina of Time Temple, the Water Temple would have to be it [There is this one point where I like to mess up XD], so here I was thinking that The Water Temple would be incredibly hard…but what do I find? Apart from Dark Link being annoyingly hard like normal [holy crap a hard Zelda boss? No wai!], it’s easier than the Ocarina of Time version!! What the fuck! Master Quest was supposed to be Hard! Not easier than Ocarina! Gah!

Enemy Count:
Stalfos – 6
Lizafos – 1
Spike – 1
Dark Link – 1
Morpha – 1

A lot of enemies right there! What the hell happened to the hordes of Tektites, Shell Blades, Stingers and that?! That’s another thing I noticed. There are limited enemies in the game and that each temple has the same monsters to fight.

Beneath the Well
I was a little skeptical about this dungeon. I soon learned that it was as easy if not easier than Ocarina of Time. It left out all the excitement [besides the group of Re-Dead where I went psycho and went on a killing rampage!]. All the secret rooms and false walls were shown. I fought Dead Hand at the beginning and thought this was going to be a repeat of the Fire Temple, but it wasn’t. One still got the Lenz of Truth at the end which made me happy. I didn’t want to skip anymore.

The Shadow Temple
The Shadow Temple was as easy as it was in Ocarina of Time. It basically follows the same path as well and most ‘ puzzles’ were pretty much the same. I love the Shadow Temple in Ocarina and so I loved it in Master Quest as well. Horrah Re-Deads! XD However I did skip a little in it, but I made up for that by going in a room a never go in in Ocarina.

The Spirit Temple
Now at this point of the game I was getting rather bored [And I had a head-ache so I wanted the Spirit Temple done as quickly as possible]. It was easy, except surprisingly I was using a fare amount of items.

I’ll split the Temple up in Child/Adult for easy reading.

Young Link
This half of the Dungeon was pretty straight forward. It was a little different than Ocarina but one still progresses through it easily, it’s not hard to figure out what one has to do in order to progress. I didn’t skip any parts of this side so it was good. Iron Knuckles still suck to fight as a child. Child Link sucks hard XD

Adult Link
I think this half was the same level of difficulty [can we use the word ‘difficulty’] as Ocarina. Except I got ‘stuck’ –for lack of a better word- in two parts, first was how to get onto a platform, I had a suspicion that one had to play the Scarecrow song but I was dreading it [I never get the Scarecrow’s Song anymore] so I got the song and hay, it worked >.> and the second part was a room with the Diamonds, now it didn’t like me leaving the room so apparently I had to use Farore’s Wind, another item I don’t get since I never use it, so I went back and got it and it worked. >.> Stupid game making me go get things I never use in Ocarina XD. At this point I felt like going fishing…so I did and got the Golden Scale which really wasn’t much use to me at this point in the game but hey whatever I felt like fishing! But yesh, overall the Spirit Temple wasn’t hard it just made me think I have to get all items next time instead of skipping out. And speaking of skipping out, I skipped a little in this temple too.

Ganon’s Castle
Now the fun part, Ganon’s Castle ^_^ Gah the first room annoyed me, I hate fighting Iron Knuckles in small spaces, but a challenge is a challenge so I did it. Now the Barrier Rooms were interesting. I won’t go into them but I liked them better than Ocarina. I did them the same order I do them in Ocarina, didn’t make one scrap of difference though [even though I got the Golden Gauntlets so late in the Castle]. The Tower was the same as Ocarina. Then once that was done I owned Ganondorf, escaped the falling tower and owned Ganon. Horrah End Game. Time to do it again.

Things I noticed
1] There are a lot of new markings around. The crescent moon was replaced by another symbol which was weird. Even the Mirror Shield had it on it.
2] The graphics were slightly changed in a few places.
2.a] Bongo Bongo’s shadow was a redish color.
2.b] Twinrover’s Fire was different.
2.c] Generally the seams were a lot more visible.
2.d] Aveil's clothes don't change color when Link changes Tunic.
3] I totally didn’t get Epona! [Cause I was lazy]
4] Skipping of parts of Dungeons/Temples. That will be interesting when I do my speed run.
5] One can hookshot to new objects.
6] The same enemies and not a lot of them.

Oh well. I bet I’ve forgotten about something XD no matter. Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I demand a hard Zelda game. I’m about to start playing Wind Waker, so here’s hoping [well that hope isn’t very much at the moment XD]

Question: Do I recommend Master Quest?
Answer: Yes, I do, despite it being easy I still enjoyed doing something different in the game we know and love.

Question: Is it better than Ocarina of Time?
Answer: I would say no, because it’s easier than Ocarina and as you know I crave for a hard Zelda game.

Oh I know! They could make a Master Quest version of Majora’s Mask! Maybe that would be hard? I would say Master Quest Twilight Princess, but I’m convinced no matter what they change in TP it will still be easy XD

I would love to know some opinions of people who have played both games.

Sorry for my rant, it needed to be told Thanks to those who read it all.

In fact, I hate him so much I declare a Shon'Kar upon him! I shall have his blood!!

Alrighty, I'm calm now so I should be able to write this journal easy like... *hears SK laughing* Yeah, your probably right....*restrains* I'll post the other journal later... anyhow, that aside...

UPDATO TIME


So on Tuesday I had the long awaited call from the Orthopedic Surgeon. He explained what was actually wrong with my knee.

I have is Lipoma Aborescens [tree-like, diffuse articular lipomatosis] Its a rare [Very rare, as in 50 known cases rare], benign intra-articular lesion [Basically a Tumor] with an unknown cause, however Trauma can trigger it. Its a condition of the lining of the tissue in the joint.

So basically I have had this all along, its just been dormant in my knee until my knee was smashed and then it has become active. The Surgeon removed as much of it as he could however it may recur.

So yosh, Thats my knee. Trust me to end up having something rare

Well I'm still not walking properly. My knee likes to collapse under me. But at least I have some maneuverability. I need to get back into making my costumes...But I can't yet Stupid Leg thing....

Can't wait to see you again!

5 people in the army so far!

[haha I couldn't decide out of 'homicidal' 'outraged' 'pissed off' or 'Hostile' to put as my icon ]

so close now! O_O

I can't wait to cosplay with you ^_^

How are your costumes coming?

I wanna see the weaponry!!

Well I suppose you could say I survived my brush with the scalpel. But I still can't walk much. I'm trying to walk around but *shrugs* I walk like a Silent Hill demon hahaahaha. oh well, onto the updato,

So the past few days I have been frustrated to all heck. I can't even do normal things. Its so awkward to move my leg and its very hard to get comfortable. But I have been sleeping mostly so thats all good.

Okay, So I went in for my operation four days ago. I had to wake up at 4:30am, to be at the hospital at 6:30pm [Mind you the doctors get in at 8:00am >_<] to wait till 10:30am to get into my operation which started at 10:45am. Then at 1:00pm I first opened my eyes after the operation, and at 2:00pm I was taken into second stage recovery to be discharged at 3:00pm. Phew…

So it is now the fourth day after my operation. Today was the big day when I could remove the bandage… And how good it feels to be rid of it! I still have the dressing and junk still on my knee, but thank the heavens the bandage is gone. It bunched up in the back a bit and was starting to hurt!

Anyhow, I haven’t heard back from the doctor yet *Shrugs* Don’t know what is actually wrong with my knee yet. When they went in they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. So we have the MRI showing one thing, and my knee showing another. *le sigh* Just need to wait till the biopsy tests come back.

For all who commented on my previous journal and those who saw me face to face, Thank you all for your comments and prayers/good vibes etcetera and encouragement. I really appreciated them ^_^ *huggles and cookies for all* Special thanks for *SeishinKibou and ~Dreamcleanser Thanks so much for visiting me ^_^ I really appreciated it and I am happy to see you again and ~Cattypatra Thanks so much for the gift! ^_^ I love it. and lastly ~Engel-Aus-Flammen Thanks for bringing me good eats and visiting.
