There's an evolution from purpose, to scheduling, to downfall, back to purpose. Is evolution the right term? Maybe not evolution, more like metamorphosis, not necessarily consistently to a benefit. But I want to be at that final step of the metamorphosis, and that's where I just write when I want to, and when I have something I want to write about, which was sort of like the original reason I started blogging, right?
Well, on that note, I've been playing a lot of a certain game recently, I'm sure you're aware, and it's time to jump into another post regarding that game!
TITLE: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
So, what's the topic of the day? Swords of course! Ironically a key feature of the Zelda series, and I haven't even glazed over the use of swords in this game! The last several days I've been playing Majora's Mask every day, with some goal in mind. I picked up the Goron's Mask:

http://www.wikihow.com/Category:The-Legend-of-Zelda:-Majora's-MaskOkay, awesome, that's what I was looking for!
So yeah, picked up the...third strongest?...sword in the game, the second being the Great Fairy Sword, and the best being the Fierce Deity's Sword. Is that right? I'm pretty sure that's right. Considering I have every intention of grabbing the other upgrade to the standard sword, it may be a bit of a waste of time to grab the Gilded Sword, especially considering I had to restart twice because I kept screwing this up -_-. But, I have it, and that's what counts, I guess.
The Gilded Sword increases the range and damage of the Kokiri Sword, even greater than its predecessor, the Razor Sword. This sword pairing essentially replaces the Giant's Knife and Biggoron Sword from Ocarina of Time, but while filling a lower strength level, with greater durability. While the Giant's Knife breaks much quicker than the Razor Sword, the Razor Sword lasts longer (unless you immediately play the Song of Time...whoops). Unfortunately, the Biggoron Sword has every advantage over the Gilded Sword as far as pure attack value, being longer and hitting harder than it's successor, the catch? The Gilded Sword is a one-handed weapon, it will still let you guard between attacks. Yay! Also, this is an early-mid game upgrade, compared to the Biggoron Sword being a mid-late game upgrade, meanwhile the Great Fairy Sword will replace the Gilded Sword, still allow you to block, and deal just as much damage as the Biggoron Sword, so yeah, overall your swords in Majora's Mask surpass those in Ocarina of Time, at least, as far as I can tell.
Since picking this up, I've actually found myself spending less time rolling around as Goron Link, and more time running around with my bunny hood and hacking away at monsters, I don't care for the lack of power of the Kokiri Sword, but this weapon makes it all worth it.
I'll have another post later this week probably about something else I've accomplished in the game, but not yet, so 'til then, ttyl!
