so many things in the 80s and 90s were directly influenced by star wars, it was such a common cultural reference point

Yeah, it's really similar! I noticed that as a kid when I was playing LttP. So many things reminded me of Star Wars - the Master sword and its different colors look like lightsabers, the Dark Forest/Mountain music sounds like the Imperial March, even rescuing Zelda from the castle, just like Leia

thank you!! my daughter and i live in WI and we rely on these foodshare payments! this whole debacle has been extremely stressful. i lost my job at around the same time so i was so worried about what would happen. we are so grateful that you were able to fill them so quickly and are defending them!

i still remember stumbling onto a site (possibly this one?) that had FAQs and wondering what that meant. i recall they were all just on one page with a short description and link... and i found a link's awakening FAQ which i had never beaten yet, so i dled it and beat that game for the first time!

Fantastic essay. Maybe my favorite part, and a great rallying cry:
