Today is a special day in my life; today is my 3 month anniversary with my gorgeous girlfriend Amy. Now I took her out for dinner, and this dinner date wasn’t just a celebration of our anniversary, it is where I would tell my girlfriend about my other love… this is what happened….
We had finished our starter course when I told her; we were preparing to dig into to main course. I had remained quiet throughout the evening and this was when she asked me “what’s wrong?” I knew it wouldn’t be long before she asked and I had prepared my reply, “Nothing” is what I said. She’s a clever lass she knew I wasn’t telling the complete truth and asked, “Now go on tell me”. And so I did, looking down at my plate I said, “There’s someone else”. She dropped her fork; the fear of her reaction froze me to the point that I swore everyone was listening in around us… almost as if I had said Voldermort in a scene from Harry Potter.
She didn’t say anything, I hadn’t rehearsed past this point but I knew I had to give her more information. I said “I’ve sorta known her for a while… you see she keeps going away and I have to move on and then she comes back… she is going to come back soon.” Amy slowly coming out of the shock she just entered looked up from her plate and said: “Why have you never mentioned her before?” I was still nervous and said, “I didn’t want it to damage our relationship.” Amy didn’t know what to say from that so I began to tell her more about my one true love.
“It isn’t that I don’t love you” I begin to make sure she understands that I do, “But it’s just this other… she’s magical, she really is special, she takes me places I have never gone before!” This wasn’t helping; this is perfect here I am digging a bigger hole for myself. She is obviously saddened but attempting to sound strong when she asked, “Is she good looking?” Now this is where my large hole gets a wee bit bigger! “Is she good looking? Last time I saw her she was beautiful, such elegance and beauty, this time she’s changed her look, well the photo’s I’ve seen show that, she looks a bit cuter now but still gorgeous!”
How horrible am I? Firstly I tell her she’s magical and wonderful and incredible and then I tell her how gorgeous she is! Amy then asked me when she’s coming back, “she’ll only be around for about a month” I said before saying “But she’s coming back on May 3rd!” Amy got a gleam of hope in her eye, “Are you sure you’ll still like each other? When was the last time you saw her?” I sighed, knowing that I was about to disappoint her again. “I haven’t seen her since Christmas 2000 but she goes all the time, often longer than this and we are always together for ages and then she goes again.” Amy wasn’t sure how to take this, it was obviously hard on her, and she finally asked me the question I expected her to ask first, “What’s her name?” I looked at her and finally uttered her name “Zelda”. Amy tries to eat her food again but she couldn’t she said “unusual but nice name” before fumbling with her fork and then running from the restaurant in tears.
Everyone within the restaurant, staff, customers and even the fish were looking at me. I glanced around for a moment and then said: “What? It’s only a game.”

Hey, hang on a second! Zelda has been my first and only true love (Sorry Alyson Hannigan, you're just me bit on the side) since 1990 when she first appeared on my TV set in the quality 13 episode cartoon series The Legend of Zelda on GMTV.
It seems she has been going behind my back...but I can forgive her. She's promised me a very good night on May 3rd.... (unusual day for a game release - Saturday).

I would never degrade Zelda to that point :P
I'd hopefully of finished it by then.

Then you should toddle off to some hole of a bar and get drunk. Then when you get home (if you get home...) try and play Zelda... :D

I'm hoping that I get 80+ hours of gameplay out of the Wind Waker
0-20 hours - Messing around, getting aquinted with the game
20-80 hours - Examining every single detail of the game.
and that'll be the first time around...
