I’m Tired and Sad, So Let’s Talk About The Legend of Zelda: Episode 31

This episode of I'm Tired and Sad is sort of about Majora's Mask but also about old coping mechanisms and survival habits suddenly becoming relevant again. What is this all, if not a cycle I seem doomed to repeat?

I’m out of blog posts, exhausted, and super depressed about everything going on in the world (which is why I’m out of blog posts, but I’ll write about that later). So, rather than try to kick my ass into gear in order to pretend that I’m still writing these a week ahead of time, I’m going to fully admit that I’m writing this on the eleventh, that I’m probably going to have to edit this after it…

I’m Tired and Sad, So Let’s Talk About The Legend of Zelda: Episode 30

While this week has gotten completely away from me, you know what hasn't? Nintendo FINALLY acknowledged the enormous transformation the Zora underwent between the Super Nintendo and the N64 in Echoes of Wisdom. Finally!

The past week has been incredibly rough. I’m actually writing this the Friday ahead of when it is supposed to be posted, because I’ve fallen super far behind on my blog post buffer and just barely managed to keep my streak of no unplanned skips twice in a row. Two nights in a row, I was struggling to stay awake as I wrote at my computer, giving up on any hope for restful activities in order to…

I’m Tired and Sad, So Let’s Talk About The Legend of Zelda: Episode 29

Today's Legend of Zelda post is all about my relationship with video game fishing and how growing to appreciate it in Legend of Zelda games is what made it possible for me to even consider enjoying it in other video games.

Another rough week, as you can tell from my recent rant about process, on top of my ever-growing exhaustion from a mixture of my ever-present burnout and what has become increasingly clear is poor quality sleep on a bad mattress, so I’m going to set aside everything else I could write about to talk about the Legend of Zelda once more (also, don’t try to figure the dates out, since my whole…

I’m Tired and Sad, So Let’s Talk About The Legend of Zelda: Episode 28

This week continues to be rougher than I'd like it to be, so we've got a rare treat for you today! That's right, a second episode of my "I'm Tired and Sad" series! This one is about Gold Skulltulas and why I like doing little collection quests in games.

It has been one hell of a week and while I normally try to pace these out a bit, I’m actually both tired AND sad today, so I’m dipping back into a familiar well in order to either try to get my mind out of the negative spiral I can feel it running in or to just distract myself long enough that it is time for bed. While I am definitely still on the fence about my current short-term bedding…

I’m Tired and Sad, So Let’s Talk About The Legend of Zelda: Episode 27

After about a year since I finally beat the game (maybe a little less, actually), I'm finally ready to write about why I liked Breath of the Wild so much more than Tears of the Kingdom. Also, I'm too tired and worn out to think of anything else to write.

I’m not terribly sad right now but am extremely tired. I managed to get a temporary fix to my bad mattress/back issues that has at least worked for one night but has left me feeling the cumulative weight of not sleeping well for about three weeks in a row. We’ll see if it lasts and doesn’t introduce its own issues [it hasn’t so far, as of the day before this goes up, even if it is clearly not an…

I’m Tired and Sad, So Let’s Talk About The Legend of Zelda: Episode 26

As I've been thinking about playing Wind Waker again (you can blame my sister for that one, since she wanted to borrow my copy of the game to play herself), I've discovered I prefer the original version of the game and taking my time to sail everywhere.

Every so often, I get struck by the urge to go replay an old Legend of Zelda. Right now, I really want to go replay The Legend of Zelda: Wink Waker. It’s been a long time since I played through that game and it has been on my mind recently because I lent my younger sister my Wii U, which has a copy of the digital Wind Waker HD game installed on it. I could set up my Wii and play the GameCube…

I’m Tired and Sad, So Let’s Talk About The Legend of Zelda: Episode 25

I've had enough being sad on my blog for the time being, so I'm writing about The Legend of Zelda again. This time, I'm sharing my thoughts about Echoes of Wisdom, which comes out in less than two months and about which I'm very excited. Hopeful, even.

Rather than complain about how tired and sad I am, or about how rough work has been this week, I figured I might as well turn my attention toward my favorite gaming franchise and not only avoid my blog becoming a dour place full of only my sourest feelings but also maybe even lift my own spirits. After all, there’s a new Legend of Zelda game coming out soon (Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom) and…
