Link’s Awakening is still my favorite Zelda, mainly because it eschews the charming, but predictable hero’s journey narratives of the main series in favour of an unhinged story about imaginary people and sky whales.

Oh, and “The Ballad of the Wind Fish” sounds a shit-ton like the theme from The Terminator, which doesn’t make things any less weird.

As always, you can follow Grey and Cory on Twitter.
