Hello, everyone! As I'm sure you've guessed by now, my name's Terrendos. Of the dozens of popular game franchises, my personal favorite has always been Zelda. It has adventure, action, drama, all the things that make a video game great. My first foray into the Zelda universe came with Ocarina of Time (I'm young, I know.) I got it in fifth grade, but as it was also one of my first games, I did not do terribly well. I got stuck in the Dodongo's Cavern, I believe.
A year later, I saw a game for sale called "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX." The game reminded me of the brief fun I had found in Ocarina of Time before getting stuck, and so I purchased it. Three months later, I managed to complete it. That small victory drove me to pick up once more Ocarina of Time and play it to completion, though it took me nearly a year (bloody Water Temple.) Since then I have loved the series, purchasing every new game in the franchise and every remake I could find.
And so, after seeing the excellent Let's Play of Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3, and after reading through the spectacular Let's Play of Knights of the Old Republic 2 on the SomethingAwful Forums, I decided to do my own tribute to the game that began my love of the Zelda series. When I finish Link's Awakening DX, I suspect that I will record a playthrough of Ocarina of Time as well, but I'm not sure. No promises. Also,
I asked mod permission to host this thread. I would suggest that you do the same if it is your intention to do a Let's Play of your own.
Here we go!

This isn't a game that lends itself to an interactive Let's Play, I know, but there will be a couple of junctures where I'll ask you guys an opinion, and this will affect how I ultimately play the game. Hope you guys enjoy!
If you have any requests for stuff I should do, let me know. I intend to try and get everything in the game that I can get except the picture of Link stealing. And if you'd like me to give you a shout out, let me know.

edit - Watching the first video now, is it just me or is the audio out of sync with the video?
edit 2 - Nevermind, it seems fine now.
Don't be surprised if the audio is a little off. I tried three times to get the audio and video to sync properly before I finally recorded them separately. Unfortunately, the video was still substantially longer, to the extent that if both were in sync at the beginning, there'd be a minute or two of silence at the end of the video. To fix it, I sped up the video a little bit. The audio should seem a little off in the beginning and at the end, but that's the best I could do.
Also I've only watched the first video but are you going to try for as many pictures as possible? I know some are missable so that can be a little annoying.
Thanks for the tip about Vimeo; I've been looking for someplace else to host unsuccessfully. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to compress the videos a bunch to get them on there, considering that they're all well over the weekly storage limit.
And yes, I intend to get every picture but the one that requires you to steal. I'll probably get that one (so I can show people stealing too) and show the picture, but I'll reset it because I don't want to be named THIEF for the remainder of the game.
But it's moblins, not moeblins. Like goblins with an m!
Actually, I've just always called them Moeblins. I never got the goblin connection. Meh, I still like Moeblins better anyway.
These photo things are DX only, right? I've only played the original Gameboy version and I don't remember them. The art is crazy.
Also, I must say I also obsessively equip the feather like you
edit: and you can still lift and cut signs in this game, right? you keep doing the long way

Didn't quite finish, as Blaino was being an absolute bastard.
I'm pretty sure I took him down in two hits last time I played. L-2 sword, Red tunic, spin attack... he's a sissy.
Part Five: Marin is Crazy
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
Let us know when you're at the 7th dungeon.
Eagle's tower is a bitch.
Also, I fully intend to steal the Bow and Arrows, though I'm going to reset afterwards. Otherwise, if I could go back into the shop on accident and then my perfect completion would be ruined.
As a matter of fact, when I played through Eagle's Tower last time, I was fine. It'll probably take me two episodes to finish though. Actually, the 8th dungeon always took me longer than the 7th.
So yeah... Part 7 coming as soon as possible.
Sweet
PLAY GAMES AND MAKE MONEY
Oh yeah, Part 8 released!
...actually, it was up yesterday morning, but Google Video wasn't working and I didn't want to get your hopes up only to have them dashed against the rocks of the internet like so many Roman biremes.
EDIT: In the time it has taken me to post this, Google Video appears to have failed again. I'll work on a solution and hopefully have a mirror up later tonight.
