So here we are at the end of it all. It's taken us a year to beat this game, but tonight we will attempt it! Even though we didn't get all of the heart pieces or find all of the broken fairies... I'm the type of player who is into that, but Joel isn't. Also, we bought the new Zelda so we need to finish this one so we can get into Skyward Sword.
I was going to write a blog a while back when we FINALLY earned the Couple's Mask. It was going to be really interesting too! But I never wrote it because I was too tired and then I was grumpy. We did get it after many, many attempts though. Maybe someday I'll write about it.
It is the final night. The moon is about to crush us all as Skull Kid screams. But we play the Oath to Order and the four Giants come. It stopped. The Skull Kid was lonely, so Majora's Mask exploited him in his weakness. Lesson learned: Be friends with people, because if you don't they might end up bringing down the moon to crush you.
After all our hard work, we go inside the the moon and you know what Joel does? He gives away our masks to little kids. HE JUST GIVES THEM AWAY. And then plays hide-and-seek.
"What is... the right thing?
I wonder...
If you do the right thing...
Does it really make...
everybody...happy?"
"Your true face...
What kind of face is it?
I wonder...
The face under the mask...
Is that...your true face?"
"Your friends...
What kind of...people are they?
I wonder...
Do those people...
think of you...as a friend?"
"You...
What makes you...happy?
I wonder...
What makes you happy...
Does it make...others happy, too?"
Who exactly is Majora? And why did they make such a scary mask that could possess people? It's not necessarily a creepy mask, I think it looks kinda cool, but it does some really creepy things. Like growing legs and arms that are kind of like whips that choke us. We used the Fierce Deity mask that the Majora child gave us and saved the day though. The moon turned into a rainbow and the people who were fleeing rejoiced instead.
"Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow."
"However, that parting need not last forever... Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you."

At the Request of Samantha
Well here we are once again... Trying to finish the Anju + Kafei quest. We're so close to the end. Anyone taking bets on whether we screw up again or not? I hope for our sake that we make it...
Welp. Shoot. No Sun Mask for us. I think we're going to have to come back to this later. :(
So onto the the Stone Tower it is!
Hello! This is Alayna now! Emily's roomate and secret girlfriend. (Don't tell Joel! jk he totally knows.)
Joel's totally hardcore and can play the songs on the ocarina super fast. Theyre in some weird place and Joel was leaving creepy dead husks of himself all over the place to keep the buttons held down. Typical creepster behavior if you ask me.
Joel and Emily have this shield that is SUPER creepy. It seriously looks like there's a soul trapped inside screaming. Joel says its just supposed to be shiny and that there's no soul... I think they're hiding something...
Yay Joel figured it out!! But then He woke up a statue... Emily says it loves him too much because it wont leave him alone now.
Joel keeps forgetting he isn't the big guy and he keeps jumping in the lava.
"Look I'm electricity!" -Joel
Joel keeps swimming headfirst into the walls.
It's my bedtime so I'm handing the computer over to Emily now!

Joel's Turn
First, Joel wanted me to post some pictures. :)
This is our new setup for playing Zelda:
I recently moved in with Alayna. This is the collection of game systems we currently have with us. 3 Gamecubes + 8 controllers; 1 Xbox 360 + 2 controllers; 1 Nintendo64 + 4 controllers; 2 Playstation2s + 6 controllers. I haven't taken time to count all our games.
Yes, we're awesome.
Anyway, now it's my turn to sit back, eat brownies and make snarky comments! :P
Joel keeps killing the Takkuri bird over and over again. He wants to be rich.
"Joel, what's your favorite thing about this game?"
"um... probably that it's so varied. Like... I like the variations of all the characters, they're so different than from a typical adventure game."
He has a point... A big part of this game is getting to know everyone's life and helping out individuals. But then you just go back in time and they forget you. Except for the banker.
Now all Joel wants to do is make the bobble-head cow wiggle. And is distracted by a giant sword. Go figure. He finished the expert course though! Wooooo. Now we have a second row of life. :D
"I fell through the world just now... I ended up in East Clock Town." So I guess if you dug a hole through the earth you wouldn't end up in China, but East Clock Town instead. Not bad imo.
Joel is emo and trying to blow himself up.
Okay. Let's be honest. This game has some pretty creepy things about it. The moon, the mirror shield, the mask selling guy, the music box man... But one of the more creepy elements is whenever you play the Elegy of Emptiness. Seriously... I'm not looking forward when we have to get the stone temple done. >_<
Well... I'm too tired to write anything else.

...Aaaand we're back
Ok guys, we're back after a bit of a hiatus during which I broke our save game and was really pissed off about that. Also, emily moved into another apartment with alayna! Maybe we'll get her to to a guest post sometime... ;)
Anyway, we're back in a new place (with a much better Tv set up I might add) and playing again!
I totally messed everything up last time, so Emily is going to be playing tonight.
She decided to work on the couples quest once again because it's pretty much taunting us at this point and that needs to end. Prior to setting out and mending this relationship in earnest, emily rolled around in a field looking for some bombs.
"Joel, do you think it's a sign that you keep messing up the couples quest?"
...
ಠ_ಠ
While waiting for time to crawl by, emily decided to visit every arachnophobes nightmare; the abandoned skulltula house by the sea. Not surprisingly, fire is used often. Also, WHY IS SPIDERWEB ALMOST INDESTRUCTIBLE?
Holy crap, pitch dark library lit with tiny candles and living skeletons? Wall dropping hands? Spiders freaking everywhere?Why did I completely forget how scary this place was? Thankfully, we have to get back to Anju to start this whole goose chase over again....aaand she's not there.
Living without cellphones and the internet to constantly keep track of everyone would be really frustrating...
The mailman is my favorite.
Also, we randomly figured out how to get a room in the inn which is good because we forgot how to . Wooo!
The musicbox man is also my favorite.
Back to the skulltula house!
Does anyone know how it's supposed to be pronounced? Is it skulltula as one word (skultuluh)or more like skull-tula (skull [space] tulla)?
After gathering 26 of 30 tokens, we head back to wait for anju in the inn.
****BROWNIE INTERMISSION****
omg these are delicious.
Mailed anju's letter again and now emily is off to conquer the spider house, which she does handily.
Right as we finish up some crazy bum comes in and demands to trade us this spooky abandoned and now spiderless house ( he thinks it's the zelda equivalent of a fallout shelter) for a giant wallet. Sure guy, whatever.

Mask Wearers Unite!
Today we join our adventurer Joel on his way to meet Kafei. He appears to be having some sort of secret Hat-Wearing Club Meeting with the postman.
Joel honestly had to think about whether he could keep a secret or not. He said no. Kafei's response: "...Listen, when someone asks you that, you say yes."
Oh wait... I mean mystery boy said that. We had no idea he was Kafei until he revealed himself...
Why is the mask icon in our notebook so creepy? So... it turns out Ninetales is in this game. We answered all his questions. We cheated though. Then we decided to go to the Beach Skulltulla house. So much scratching... o_o We had to leave though because it was time to meet the creeper guy. Seriously though, he looks like a pedophile. Or maybe just a hipster. :/
We run run run to meet Kafei outside Sakon's hideout. But we got there a bit early so decided to play some music. Apparently mummies hate music. Sakon saw us. Eff. Now we have to start over. And to make it worse Joel didn't believe me that saving a game at an owl statue won't last if you push reset. So now we're out 2 heart pieces and a biggest quiver.
So back to Day 1. Basically we have to redo everything we did last time. Joel is grumpy. Good thing we keep this blog though or we'd have no idea what the heck we lost. XD
If you could choose to keep only one mask, which would you keep? Joel chose the bunny hood. I think it's proof of his emo bunny-ness. I'd probably pick the Garo mask myself. :)

hee hee ho
Today Joel is trying to save Anju and Kafei (again). This is the third time we've started this quest haha. Last time I was forced to make the tough decision between helping Kafei or the Mailman and I went with the mailman. He happily skipped away.
While waiting to talk to Kafei, Joel found a Keaton! He quizzed us but we won. :) Also Joel is really good with a bow & arrow. I'm a bit worried about him with bombs though... He tends to just throw them around recklessly. It could be because he's hit his head so many times while trying to swim.
Now we want to bring all the frogs together so they can be friends. Some of them we have to save from temples and they are not nice. Have you ever met a frog that had a turtle as a mount?
"Yay I'm good at punching!"
Me: "Wow spikes to the face? That's pretty harsh..." Joel: "He deserved it, he's a goat."
Have you ever thought about how exhausted he must be?? He doesn't sleep for three whole days. I've gone for 52 hours before, but 72?! Sheesh. It's amazing he doesn't start hallucinating or something.
Wait...
This could explain so much. o_o

Day 1
Yay school is over! now it's time for an inordinate amount of video games!
(sort of)
Anyway, we started playing zelda again! Woooo!
...
Of course we stopped at the water temple ><
What's up with every zelda game ever having a frustratingly hard water temple? It's like japan has a thing against water or something (too soon?)
ANYWAY. Emilink made it past the first giant room with fountains and the giant water wheel and into the giant whirlpool room. It's weird how there is this giant industrial complex type thing in the middle of the ocean...maybe it's a disguised oil rig or something. Maybe that's why the ocean is all murky now. BP!
Emilink totally just hook-shotted a real life bomb-chu to her face. It was kind of scary.
Also, the clock chimes sound weird as heck when you're underwater. Nice touch that I forgot about the game.
BOSS FIGHT TIME!
Creepy giant eye guy covered in bubbles!
So if you don't remember this guy, the basic idea is you have to somehow get the bubbles off the floaty guy and pop/kill the bubbles until his weak spot is exposed and then you shoot it for MASSIVE DAMAGE. the problem is the bubbles hurt you and plop around once you knock them off unless you kill them. Death by bubbles. Emilink is doing pretty well though!
And then he apparently goes crazy and drops all his bubbles and runs around the room smashing things. He/she/it decided to smash into emilink who promptly decide to stab he/she/it in the freakin face. Game over.
Yay ice arrows!
Emilink leaves the boss room only to be confronted by her arch nemesis... Pots.
After much smashing, it's time to go freeze those octorocs into giant iceblocks to get to some valve or something and something something....
I was distracted because emily shot the octoroc through the octorocs own projectile mid flight. it was epic.
Anyway...back to figuring out this crazily engineered industrial mess.
Another frog boss! This time he's jumping around in this giant jelly ball thing...and sucking emilink into it and punching her in the face! What a jerk. emilink dies :(
We're out of fairies :( time for fairy hunting.
I totally forgot that we were so awesome that we already had all the bottles. Woo!
Emily tells me that was a rude thing to forget. It's true.
Frog boss take 2!
Emilink gets a quick 3 hits in before dodging a slime smash. immediately after that she decides to pick up a box and set it back down (???) Whatever her strategy is...it works! Frogman defeated.
Boss keeeeey! wooo!
All these pipes and valves are confusing ><

Day Two ...Again?
It seems like we're always on day two. What's up with that? Anyway... Joel's fighting some sea snakes while waiting for his sword to upgrade. He used his magic gold dust. Zora babies!
He also helped some seahorse lovers get back together. It was cute. (Really they look like giraffes.)
Sometimes I can't believe Joel. He's making girls cry now. They're even pirates. Alayna would be ashamed. He even killed a couple. o_o What the... the pirates are half ninja..? She just used a smoke bomb to run away!
Well Joel started over. He's racing the mean old Gorman brothers. Joel's cool friends are here... I think they're real bored though. Yay! We have the Garo's mask! :D This one is my favorite.
I didn't keep up with him very well today, sorry. I'm tired and frustrated with my homework. :(

Joel's Day Two
Joel just saved the Romani Ranch from aliens. I totally forgot about that part in this game. o_o I'm not very good at shooting stuff while riding a horse, so I let him do it. He got all the big poes when we played Ocarina of Time.
Now he wants to march around with baby chickens. It's adorable. He tried to at night, but right as he was about to really get into it, they kicked him out. It made me laugh. Poof. Giant chickens. :D
Have you ever noticed how creepy Tingle is? Seriously... He weirds me out. Really bad. If he was in real life he'd be one of those people that you automatically know are creepsters. Like that "Steve" kid we knew in Game Design. There's no way to be comfortable around people like them, especially if you're left alone with them. >_<
Everyone is so worried about the moon. It is pretty creepy. I'd be scared. Why can't the Gorman brothers just be nice? It's mean to steal people's milk. And I don't even like milk. But now we have a cow mask and can go to the bar.
We have learned the dance of a dead man. Now we must spread the craze throughout the world.
Apparently in Termina, seagulls are like vultures. :/ One final rock song before you die. No better way to go, baby! Rest in peace Mikau.

Majora's Mask: Day Two
It is now Night one. 8:00...and emily is talking to frogs down by the spring...
what?..
After making the music man angry, he gave her a mask that tells her to lead parades of little animals. oh cute. Now she's practicing with a dog. ok she got bored of that...saw that coming. I'm surprised she didn't kick the dog.
I've never understood the ploop ploop noises that the bomber gang makes when they walk around. It sounds like their shoes are full of water. typical little kids
After barging into the wrong room and jumping on a table, disrupting some weird juggler's card game, link/emily went to meet anju in the kitchen at midnight to discuss her run away fiance, kaifei, who has mysteriously disappeared. Scandalous! Also, there are bugs in the kitchen. Double Scandal!
...aaand anju is taking too long so emily is standing on the microwave...
Creaking door! omg! here she comes...
...
there are still bugs walking around in the kitchen
...
wow anju walks ridiculously slowly...
... she's still going... also seemingly unfazed by the skittering beetles.
ok she finally gave us a freakin letter. Bout time. Emily/link has an important meeting...in which she will be batman. Sort of...she saves this old lady's purse...which is full of bombs. Exciting life. And then she mails that letter immediately after. Like a boss. Ka-ching!
But apparently it was all for naught...Emily was still rejected from the milk bar. Haters.
The next morning, emily woke up in a box. it was raining. She was staking out Kafei's hiding spot in hopes of catching him accepting the letter from the mailman. Unfortunately, the mailman is late as usual. In frustration, emily tracks down the mailman just to make sure he's doing his job. What a slacker.
ANYWAY.
Now emily is attacking everything in the field. she's kind of scary actually. I'm glad she doesn't have a sword in real life. she just sliced out a slimes heart out and ate it. o_o
Once her murderous rage subsided, she ran back to the laundry pool to find kafei...little did she know that...we had broken the quest by saving that bomb lady. Oops.
Emily takes her rage out on chopping logs at the swordsman school.

Majora's Mask: Day One
It really is Day One. 72 hours left. Well now there's only 60 hours left. Joel decided he would be a nice person and put a baby to sleep. He sung him a lullaby and it was soooo cute. Now he's just carrying some food around like a weirdo. Who carries their food over their head to show off to the world like that? Joel sure is strange sometimes. Apparently he wants to carry it over his head to show off how strong he his. His words. At least he got a frog hat out of it I guess.
Oh he just rolled off a cliff and died. lolololol. :D
I need to do my homework now. If anything super amazing happens, I'll update. :P
Edit: Like killing a giant Goron. o_o I can't believe he'd just put him to sleep and make him fall off a cliff like that. How inconsiderate of the sacredness of life. No respect.
Ninja joel edit: He didn't even die! He just woke up in the bottom of a canyon without any recollection of who he was or where he came from :P
