With the release ofPhantom Hourglassfor the Nintendo DS, this week is all about Zelda! Go ahead, you can giggle like a school girl; don’t be embarrassed. And while I lovealliterations of the Zelda series, nothing can top the feelings of nostalgia and pure joy one gets from playing the originalThe Legend of Zeldafor theNintendo Entertainment System.
I am assuming most of you retro peeps are huge fans of this revolutionary game, but how well do youreallyremember it? Can you tell the difference between a leever and an octorok? How many pieces of the Triforce are there?
Well, put that Zelda knowledge to the test by taking this week’s quiz!
Oh, and what’s that? You want a cool prize? How about a neat NES controller-shaped tin full of mysterious retro goodies care of the coolest guy that ever livedTopher?! Woo hoo!
