IT'S DONE. I'VE BEATEN AND AM FREE FROM ZELDA 2 FOREVER. I see a time portal in the distance...it looks like a Link to the Past. 👁️‍🗨️

In Zelda 2, you have to play the flute to wake up this river devil and make it leave. So that's where Pokemon got the idea of playing a flute to wake up Snorlax. 🤔

These Red Dairas can go step on a Lego and get a paper cut. Without save states, I think I'd actually go insane fighting these enemies in Adventure of Link.

My character was a young bard from Nilfgaard who had a penchant for older women. His name? Jhan Braveheart. 👀

Imagine having parents who named you "Error." 😔

POV: You're a child playing Final Fantasy 7 on the PS1 in 1997. You get hit with Supernova, an attack that's a 2 minute long...unskippable cutscene. (final boss fight spoilers)

Game 40: Final Fantasy 7 Replaying FF7 confirms that it is indeed my most favorite Final Fantasy alongside FF6. The Echo S-7 voice acting mod only enhanced the entire experience. Emotional moments felt even more impactful as a result. I'm still amazed the Tsunamods team pulled it off. (1/n)

Game 39: Legend of Zelda The first Zelda game is like the progenitor to all modern action RPGs, especially Soulslike games. In fact, I'd argue the first Zelda is the first Souls game before the word existed. Extremely minimalist story. Barely any guides. You are free to go any direction. (1/n)

Health fully graded. Sword fully upgraded. Bombs fully upgraded. Entering the final dungeon for Legenda of Zelda 1. 👀

Tonight, we finish OG Final Fantasy 7. One final dungeon. One final boss. Afterwards depending on time, we shall start Well Dweller! See you all tonight around 8 PM PST for a cozy conclusion to my favorite Final Fantasy. www.twitch.tv/cynetrunner

Can't believe this enemy from Legend of Zelda is called a Darknut. Is the armor made of nuts? 🥜 Also the snek enemy is literally called "Rope." What happens if a character goes "Can you hand me the rope?" Do they get handed a snake? 👀

Just beat my first dungeon boss in Legend of Zelda 1. Why does Aquamentus look like a character from Dragon Tales?

Aquamentus. Dragon thingy with smol wings and scaly belly

yellow dragon just like aquamentus. But he's standing on two legs

Why are there so many hidden places with orange moblins giving out free rupees. Are moblins just goblins who joined the Mob?

Legend of Zelda 1

ITS A SECRET TO EVERBODY.

To the River Zora who keeps firing projectiles and is out of reach...I hope you lose your fins.

It's time to restart and resume my "Play all mainline Zelda games in release order for the first time" side quest. The goal is to finish Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask before November. Tonight, we start with the Legend of Zelda 1 where it all began. Let's go save the princess.

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

LONG AGO, GANON, PRINCE
OF DARKNESS, STOLE THE
TRIFORCE OF POWER.
PRINCESS ZELDA OF HYRULE
BROKE THE TRIFORCE OF
WISDOM INTO EIGHT PIECES
AND HID THEM FROM GANON
BEFORE SHE WAS KIDNAPPED
BY GANON'S MINIONS.
LINK, YOU MUST FIND THE
PIECES AND SAVE ZELDA.

Screw this heatwave. I'm going to break my routine and bite into ice cream on a Tuesday. (Jack o lantern pumpkin bread and chocolate cookie graveyard)

POV: You are a powerful ancient Ruby Weapon. You are extremely lethal and terrifying. And then one day, 2 white people and a Black man lock you into an infinite loop of getting pummeled by Arthurian knights. 😵‍💫

I think the name might be inspired by Chocoball candy?

All Ultimate Weapons and level 4 Limit Breaks acquired. Only thing left is to defeat the superbosses, and then the final dungeon and boss fight which I promised to stream. See you all around tonight at 8 PM PST. www.twitch.tv/cynetrunner

One of my favorite shots from OG Final Fantasy 7. Thanks to the texture and field model mods I'm using, it looks even more beautiful.

Cloud and Tifa sitting together under the Highwind airship. It's dusk in the background

Same scene, but Cloud's back is facing Tifa's back. Under Highwind.

Background now shows daylight.

If your Sister looks like this, her name's probably Ray.

Have not played FF7 Remake nor Rebirth yet. A common complaint I've heard about Rebirth is its forced minigames. There's no way Rebirth's minigames can be worse than OG FF7's own forced minigames like snowboarding, submarine shooting, or hypothermia control. The latter two are the worst. 😔

For those curious, here's the family tree of how I got to my Golden Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7. 👀

Andres and Markus

leads to Parm and Tyero.

Parm and Tyero make Sam.

Sam with Materia makes golden.

Todd Howard infamously said "See that mountain? You can climb it." Breeding a gold chocobo is time consuming, but once you get one, you can traverse the entire map, climb any cliff or mountain, and run across any river or ocean. 😌

One of my favorite things in a video game is an underwater "Bioshock esque" level or area. 😌

After a few hours of grinding battles, doing chocobo races...the golden chocobo hatched! This is Gloo...just like Gloo IRL. 😌

Third pair! Sam the black chocobo, and Keeper the wonderful chocobo. @samplaysgames.bsky.social @materiakeeper97.bsky.social

Now I'd like to introduce a new pair, the blue chocobo Parm and the green chocbo Tyera. @parmparm.bsky.social @tyero.bsky.social

I am currently breeding Chocobos for the OG Final Fantasy 7 minigame to get a Gold Chocobo. I'd like to introduce my first pair, Andrea and Markus. 😌

It's too bad the library had Imperial Iron Walls. 😭

I got showered and dressed up so I could go chill in the library only to remember that it's closed on Sundays.

There are some awful, annoying sections in OG Final Fantasy 7. One of them is the Whirlwind Maze where you have to precise time when you walk past the barriers. If you fail and get hit, you're thrown back, and have to fight a random encounter enemy. 😭
