Yeah. The big question is just how long it will go this time. Could be 12 issues again, or maybe it all comes down to sales. As long as it's not shorter, I'm good. What's encouraging is that Gargoyles comics have never really been on break since it came back. There's always been something...

Chapter 22: A New Home, A First Friend Summary: With the front gate of Hateno Village left behind, Link and Zelda led their horses toward town and Link’s home. As they did so Zelda looked all around her with unceasing curiosity, eager to savor the moment and take in everything that she could...

Chapter 21: The Arrival Summary: “Man, it is dead around here lately.” “Oh, give it a rest, Manny. I heard you the first time.” It was a sunny day at Hateno Village, and at the front gate of the town two men were having a chat – such as it was. Thadd the farmer was a tall and slender fellow...

Chapter 20: His Wish For Her Summary: Together on horseback once again, Link and Zelda rode their horses at a steady pace on the main road. Zelda was more than content to take in the sights of the wild as best she could, taking note of places she might explore later in the days and weeks to...

Chapter 19: The Truth of Who They Were Summary: Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? “There’s one! Oh! And another!” It is a bright and sunny day in the time before the Great Calamity and after the forging of the true bond between Princess Zelda and Link the hero. Sheikah Slate...

Chapter 18: The Retold Legend Summary: It was the dawn of the fourth day of journey toward Hateno Village. At Zelda’s request the two travelers had ridden their horses slowly and made detours to explore the forests and the wilderness of the West Necluda region and meet people passing through...

It so happens that the absolute latest known day a "Nintendo Switch 2 experience" event is going on is currently June 1 in Seoul. Working on the assumption that the point of the event is marketing hype before release, my working theory is that it maybe comes out toward the very end of June. No...

Chapter 17: Battles That Go Unseen Summary: Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? It is the time before the Calamity at the Zora Domain. Link the hero is fourteen years old. The knight speaks with determination on a subject that greatly concerns the champion Mipha, princess of the...

Chapter 16: Hilda the Hylian Summary: “So there you have it, that is what we intend. Another omelet, anyone?” Link and Zelda were once again at Impa’s house the day after the meeting and their evening discussion at the shrine above Kakariko Village, dressed in their Hylian clothing once again...

Chapter 15: To Dream of Tomorrow Summary: Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? "Hello, Bolson." "Ah. Back again, Link?" It is Hateno Village in the time before the Calamity’s end, after the reawakening of Link the hero. Seven days have passed since his first attempt to draw...

Pet theory: the "Yakuza League" is the League of Shadows. Instead of Joker it's anime Ra's al Ghul and Talia this time! ...... And I guess Ubu can be there too. Yeah.

Looks like all the important creative talent is back, so this is basically 95% guaranteed to be beyond awesome. So happy, I have wanted this for years.

Chapter 14: A Bold Proposal Summary: Zelda and Link watched the sunset above Kakariko Village in silent peace for a time. The evening air was warm and the partly cloudy sky was beautiful shades of orange and red. Each one took great comfort from the simple presence and company of the other...

I've got a big one - it's insane how much this industry outside of Nintendo perpetually can't imagine a future that doesn't involve ever-growing development costs and chasing graphics no matter what. I picked up on two articles written back to back on different days about two guys that see the...

The Dragon of Light and the Vow of Love Summary: Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? The Princess Zelda stands in the era of antiquity on a bright and sunny day, in the time of the Zonai. Great deeds and great sorrows have come to pass to put a stop to the rampage of Ganondorf...

On reflection, I remain fully convinced that they are doing THE THING with a third one of these. Yeah, the thing. The thing! But yeah. Among many other things, I thought it managed to conjure up the conflict that it did without handing anybody the idiot ball. You can see why Adam would want...

Bloomberg reports on an industry analyst saying the signs point to Nintendo's switch successor shipping with an 8-inch LCD screen. For some context, Switch's screen is 6.2 and it was bumped to 7 for Switch OLED. I would rate this as extremely credible, if only because there does not seem to be...

It was never "hated" by a long shot, but Cybersix apparently has enough nostalgic attention to justify a Blu-ray release after the DVD release from Discotek media. Not bad for a cartoon from Canada that got animated in Japan based on a comic strip from Argentina that got cancelled after a single...

I kind of have to wonder - does animation *need* to get it back? Is it a problem if it means that the stories that we get aim a bit wider while still caring about that demographic too? I'm not sure if that makes sense, I don't think I've taken enough of a hard look at the content that's...

Chapter 13: Zelda and the Fairy Summary: Even as Zelda made her way up the hill to pass out of sight at Kakariko Village, Link the hero left Impa’s house and came into the center of town. The laughter of the children Koko and Cottla drew his attention. Very little escaped his notice whenever...

Chapter 12: Zelda and the Believer Summary: “A meeting? What for?” It was the middle of the afternoon during the ninth day at Kakariko Village. Link was worried as he processed the news he was hearing from his princess, as they made their way to Impa’s house together from the village inn...

Chapter 11: Chronicles of Peace Summary: On the evening of the second day of Princess Zelda's return to Kakariko Village, Zelda began an old habit anew. With pen in hand and a blank journal before her, in the days to come the princess began to sort through her thoughts and experiences on paper...

Chapter 10: The Worst Thing He Ever Feared Summary: Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? Link the hero sees that horrible stormy night when all seemed lost, after the darkness fell. For her, it means her darkest hour and her worst despair. For him, it means something else. He had...

No, April 1 didn't come early. No footage yet, of course. So, kneejerk thoughts.... 1. I'm wondering if this is a reaction to the success of One Piece live action or something they already had cooking and negotiating concurrent with this. Wonder if we will ever find out. 2. Remember...

Chapter 9: Paya's Question Summary: Not all of what passed between Zelda and Impa on the day of their reunion need now be told. Many sentiments large and small were said, and Zelda asked many eager questions about Impa's knowledge of Link's adventures. Even Link would not know everything until...

Slowly working on The Pillars of the Earth visual adventure game. I've wanted to try something like it for awhile and it really is immersive, like you are playing a novel. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/ken-folletts-the-pillars-of-the-earth-switch/

Chapter 4: Conclusion: First Promises It was the day after Zelda’s rescue. Link had received word that he was to rendezvous with his princess at Kara Kara Bazaar, where she would meet him at the inn. He had arrived, and now he found a small feast awaiting him at a long table. The inn staff...

Chapter 3: The Rescue Many hours after Zelda and Link had argued that evening, with his head bowed Link was standing before the west gate of Gerudo town – at a considerable distance. He knew very well how strict the laws were about men visiting the stronghold. The guards had been watching him...

Chapter 2: Their First Fight Upon Divine Beast Vah Naboris, Link approached Princess Zelda and the champion Urbosa. Zelda was fast asleep at Urbosa’s side, so at peace that her face seemed truly angelic. Urbosa’s senses were well trained, she perceived Link’s presence at once. “Ah, well, you...

Their First Promises Summary: Chapter 1: Prologue - The Foundation of Loyalty Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? “Well Link, Knight of Hyrule. I see and hear that you have been quite busy.” In days long ago before the coming of Calamity Ganon, Link the hero stands before King...

Chapter 8: The Rewarded Faith Summary: Chapter Text Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? It is Kakariko Village in the dead of night. Link the hero is training - at least, that is what he tells himself. But his strokes are not serene and calm this time, not in the way that they...

Some bits of headcanon that manifested in this thing: -Princess Zelda doesn't lie. She is a Minbari (see Babylon 5). Here I have her protecting herself by not saying everything, or by telling some of the truth for a reason. But nothing she says to King Rhoam was intended to be a lie. -Notice...

So I'm pondering stuff to listen to in the background as I work and I'm wondering if there are podcasts people would recommend that focus on one topic that's very specific. The kind of thing I'm thinking would be something not unlike The Greatest Generation (a Star Trek podcast) or Voices from...

To Stand For Honor Summary: It was two weeks since the fifteenth birthday of Princess Zelda, and the Sheikah woman Purah the scientist had come to Hyrule Castle with her younger sister Impa. They were in their early 20s in the spring of their womanhood, dressed in the traditional tan clothing...

The demographic issues of the USA and Japan can't even begin to be compared though. The easy way to explain why is to observe that circa 2022, the total number of foreigners residing in Japan was under 3 million people. Just looking at the number of people granted legal permanent resident status...

Chapter 7: Triumphs Over Despair Summary: Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? It is a dark and stormy night - the very worst of Princess Zelda's young life. The great darkness had fallen upon the land. "I tried, and I failed them all. I've left them...all to die." Overwhelmed by...

Chapter 6: The Trial of Faith Summary: Dream and memory intersect. Or is this a vision? It is the Great Hyrule Forest in the Woodland region of Hyrule, northeast of Hyrule Castle. Link the hero beholds the legendary Master Sword in its resting place for the second time since reawakening from...

Chapter 5: Zelda's Transformation Summary: “Well now, Link! It’s been some time. And at what a time you’ve managed to come by, as well!” Link had come upon Riverside Stable and was greeted by Ember the innkeeper, a middle-aged man dressed in the customary tan clothing and gray vest and hat...

I was a bit ticked off by this one. It felt like only the Superman side story touched on something that really spoke to the essence of that character, with Clark Kent taking a stand against Red Scare style paranoia. Then the rest of the film was taken over by action and a whole load of...

I think that the international market is always going to guarantee a receptive audience at this point. The issue facing the industry isn't a receptive audience in the future, it's finding enough labor and creative talent to keep this going the way that it has been. One major thing to remember...
