Life Lessons & the Stupid Forest Temple

Long weekend. Played as much as I could. Spent Friday night drinking and enjoying different video games at Dave & Buster's for a birthday party.

******************

News: Erik decided, after much deliberation, that the due date for this quest will be extended to next Tuesday, October 19th (still at 5:30). I'm very grateful for this, considering the fact that, although I have played through a lot of the game and watched even more, I don't remember where everything is.

*******************

Life lessons learned from Ocarina of Time so far:
-- If you don't do certain things right as a kid, it can come back and bite you in the ass as an adult.
-- Large life tasks (a.k.a dungeons) are adventures to you as a child and puzzles to you as an adult.
-- The world is bright and cheery when you're a child, even though there are some scary things every once in a while. The world seems darker as an adult, but you can find the beauty and bright side if you look well enough.
-- Good friends always stay friends, and will help you out for your entire life.
-- When you do good things for people, they remember it, and will return the favor someday.
-- There are some things that are just as scary as they were when you were a kid, but as an adult, you're better equipped to handle them.

Game Update:
-- Went to the graveyard, got the hookshot, thanks to Dampe's ghost.
-- Eventually beat the Forest Temple, after dealing with ALL sorts of crazy monsters (i.e. The creepy fucker known as a wallmaster, as well as the tricky Poe Sisters) and puzzles (This Temple sucked out some of my soul in the process.). Also, GANONDORF's Phantom was the boss there... Made my heart almost punch its way through my rib cage once again. (He has quite the evil laugh)
-- Also, in the Forest Temple, I got the Fairy Bow! which allows me to shoot things further away (It's also how I killed Phantom Ganondorf. MUah ha ha ha!)
-- Tried about six times to get Epona.. I guess I just haven't figured out the trick to beating Ingo, yet.
-- After that, Navi mentioned that the clouds over Death Mountain look funny, and that we should probably go check it out.
-- Did that. Turns out, that the Gorons have disappeared. All except for Darunia's son, who was named after me(Pretty legendary, huh?)! (Oh, they also left the shopkeeper behind to keep the economy going.) He (Darunia's son, not the shopkeeper) told me that they've been captured and brought into the Fire Temple.
-- I entered the Death Mountain Crater in an attempt to get into the temple. It was a no-go. No place for me to go... I guess I'll have to figure it out tomorrow.

Alrighty. Later.
