Zelda and travelling
July 12, 2010

Spent last weekend in beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan with Adrienne. It was a lot of fun and we saw some cool places. The University is really nice. I put some pictures up in my picture section so everybody could see.

Zelda Phantom Hourglass is finally out for the DS. I've been looking forward to this game for quite a while now. Since this is the sequel to Wind Waker, I've decided to play through Wind Waker before I get to Hourglass.

That doesn't mean I haven't tried it out however. I played through the first five minutes or so and its really cool. So far, I've been able to do everything with one hand using my stylus. You can tap enemies and Link will attack them. You can draw a slash on the screen and your sword swings. Best of all, you can run. Its so nice being able to run in a Zelda game. Usually, you have to roll to move faster so the entire time you're playing you get to hear "hup hup" and an occasional, frustrating, "thud" when you smash Link's head into some stairs.

For those of you out there that have purchased your own copy of Hourglass, Nintendo is giving away a free quill shaped stylus to anyone that registers their copy on the site. Mine should be on the way soon.

One last piece of news, this weekend I'm going to see Cirque Du Soleil right here in Norfolk. I'm really looking forward to that. It should be a good show. My only regret is that I waited to long to get tickets, so my seat isn't that great, but I'm still excited about this.
