I'm back with another review to talk about one of the best video games EVER made (in my opinion of course). This game is known as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This amazing classic game was released in 1998 for the 1996 console known as the Nintendo 64.
The game's story surrounds a young hero Link (right), who is destined as the land of Hyrule's Hero of Time to save Princess Zelda (middle) and Hyrule and to defeat the evil Gerudo King Ganondorf (left) as Link holds the Triforce of Courage. To defeat Ganondorf, you must explore the realm of Hyrule to discover new areas and dungeons which holds puzzles, enemies, bosses, keys, items and a gem/medallion needed for Link to gain power on his quest. Alongside his quest, Link is accompanied by his fairy, Navi, which gives him tips along the way.
An essential element of the game is having the ability to travel time between young (left) and adult (right) link, which is 7 years, allowing him to access different parts of Hyrule and use different items. Along with this, Link gains the Ocarina of Time, which allows him to have extra powers such as teleporting around Hyrule and changing night to day through different melodies he is taught by people on his quest.
This game seriously does not get old at all, it's easily my favourite game of all time. There was also a 3DS (2011) remake of the game in 2011, which I had originally played first. The game can be played in 3D, it got a clean up on the graphics and some GUI improvements to allow items to be swapped out easier utilising the touch screen and the dual screen capabilities of the 3DS. The game is also available on the Wii (2006) and Wii U (2012) virtual consoles in the Nintendo 64 game and graphic style with some smoothness. Heres a comparison image of the two versions below in the starting area of Kokiri Forest (Nintendo 64 1996 - left and 3DS 2011 - right).
If you have the chance to play this game, please go out and play it! It is an amazing quest that you don't want to miss out on. Here's the trailer for the 3DS remake of the game.
Super Mario Odyssey is the newest 3D game in the Super Mario Series. It came out in 2017 for the console the Nintendo Switch (2017) with great feedback from fans worldwide. The game follows a similar storyline to most Mario games, where Princess Peach is captured by Bowser and Mario has to save her, but this time, Bowser plans to marry Princess Peach. To save her, Mario must travel on an airship to different Kingdoms, where he must collect moons to power up and continue his adventure! This was a surprising change as many games in the Mario series require stars instead, such as Super Mario 64 (1996) and shine sprites in Super Mario Sunshine (2002). Alongside his journey, Mario is paired with his new companion Cappy, which is his sentient hat that allows him to capture different enemies' spirits and control them using special abilities. I personally enjoyed the game, as it had a wide sandbox like feeling to each Kingdom, allowing you to explore every i...
Everglow (2015) Oi mates, This week, I am back with a review of one of my favourite songs from my favourite band, British Alternative/Rock band Coldplay’s 2015 single Everglow , the final single from their 2015 album A Head Full of Dreams. Compared to the remaining tracks of one of the more upbeat Coldplay albums, Everglow is the slowest song, with the primary melody provided by piano. Like the majority of Coldplay songs, there can be many interpretations of the song, however the most popular interpretation is the song being about loving and reminiscing about the people we have lost touch with. This is another lyrical sensation by the band, with the lyrics being delicate and touching, scattered with imagery that gives the song its soul. The combination of the lyrics and the instrumental part also conveys the emotions of the song effectively, as the song goes from a piano melody accompanied by slow drum beats to its climax where the guitar comes in, before the song ends ...
