ZELDA II: THE ADVENTURE OF LINK

THE ADVENTURE OF LINK IS PROBABLY THE HARDEST GAME IN THE ZELDA SERIES, THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY WAS INCREASED FROM THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE COMPLAINTS THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY NOT CHALLENGING ENOUGH. THAT BEING SAID, AND ALSO THAT IT IS ONE OF THE LEAST PLAYED GAMES IN THE SERIES, ANYONE WHO HAS COMPLETED IT CAN TRULY CALL THEMSELVES A ZELDA CONNOISSEUR.

BECAUSE IT DEVIATED FROM THE ORIGINAL ZELDA'S TOP DOWN VIEW, IN FAVOR OF SIDE SCROLLING GAME PLAY, MANY DID NOT CONSIDER IT A TRUE ZELDA GAME. BUT IN LATER INSTALMENTS OF THE SERIES YOU CAN SEE THE MAJOR INFLUENCE IT HAD. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SIGN OF THE TRIFORCE APPEARING ON LINK'S HAND AND LINK'S SHADOW (WHICH SPAWNED THE IDEA IN FANDOM OF A DARK LINK) ALL CAME FROM THE ADVENTURE OF LINK.

THE END OF THE GAME BROUGHT HINTS OF ROMANCE BETWEEN AN OLDER LINK AND PRINCESS ZELDA, GANON WAS NOT THE ENEMY YOU FOUGHT, AS LINK YOU COULD USE MAGIC, LEVEL UP YOUR SKILLS, AND THE STORY FROM THIS GAME ADDED SO MUCH TO THE SERIES. THE ADVENTURE OF LINK WAS TRULY A SPECIAL AND UNIQUE CHAPTER FOR THE WORLD OF HYRULE.

WHAT IS A FANLISTING?

A FANLISTING IS LIKE A "WEB CLIQUE," IT'S A LIST OF SUPPORTERS OF A PARTICULAR THEME OR SUBJECT. YOU CAN FIND FANLISTINGS FOR ACTORS, ANIME SERIES, BOOKS, -JUST ABOUT ANYTHING! THE FANLISTINGS IS CONSIDERED THE OFFICIAL SITE FOR FANLISTINGS, SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE, YOU SHOULD HEAD OVER THERE. BUT BASICALLY, IF YOU ENJOY OR AGREE WITH THE THEME OF A FANLISTING, YOU SHOULD JOIN IT. LIKE SIGNING A GUESTBOOK, YOU SIMPLY FILL OUT A LITTLE INFORMATION AND THIS IS DISPLAYED TO THE SITE'S VISITORS- TO SHOW THAT YOU SUPPORT THE IDEA ALONG WITH OTHERS. EVEN IF IT'S JUST A SMALL THING, IT'S A FUN THING TO DO TO LEAVE YOUR MARK, TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW YOU FEEL AND WHAT YOU LIKE.

THE LAYOUT

BEST AT 800X600 WITH INTERNET EXPLORER. SORRY MAC USERS, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THINGS WORK AS WELL FOR YOU TOO. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT PLAYED AOL, THE LAYOUT OF THIS SITE WAS AN ATTEMPT BY ME TO REPLICATE THE INTRO SCREEN FROM THE GAME. LATER I HOPE TO HAVE A BLUE DROP SHADOW UNDER ALL THE TEXT, BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT EASILY AND NOT HAVE THE DROP SHADOW UNDER THE IMAGES AS WELL. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE AN OPTION TO PLAY THE INTRO'S MIDI MUSIC, BUT I HAVE TO GET A LONGER FILE THAT REPEATS WITHOUT THE FADE IN THE BEGINNING. AS FOR THE MEMBERS PAGE< I HOPE TO SOON LEARN HOW TO REARRANGE THE PHP SCRIPT TO ALLOW ME TO PUT PEOPLE'S RESPONSES IN A LINE BELOW THEIR MEMBER INFO, NOT NEXT TO IT.
