Hi, I'm Melora, the main source of scanned #Zelda art & out-of-print publications since The Internet. I was also the lead campaigner for Zelda manga & art/info books to exist outside of Japan. Join me as I try to create a gallery of every piece of licensed Zelda art via collecting & with your help!

I remember having ?lancers? with a bunch of different job skills. No idea what any more, just that I'd have them jump off screen so they were basically completely invincible

I'm not sure but I did had a denim jacket that was designed to puff at all the seams and the original here reminds me of it. But I agree the AI one looks like a more typical jean jacket for sure.

Oh man, I knew it but this really makes it so real: it's going to be such a pain in the ass going forward. Research and art preservation is going to be such a nightmare.

He tolerated the chemo well. Turns out its a smaller dose than if he had cancer. Keep him in your thoughts for me: if this helps he could have years more, if not I may have to say goodbye soon. This was him just a year ago on our last big hike before we moved (He's more tan than his sister in front)

Ah, thanks! It's been so long since I played but I spent so much time on JP that I thought that's what I was doing

LOL, I also remember being so mad when they'd give me another named character. I didn't want to get rid of any of my regular soldiers that I had leveled up so lovingly 😆

Am I remembering wrong? Can you just stand in a square and stone throw each other to get JP?

I remember feeling like this was one of the most perfect games I ever played- and it's not like I especially like tactics games.

I took a while to finish it; I enjoyed it so much I just leveled everyone up and then there was nothing to do but beat it.

I love all of these so much. You have such great style

It's either this or I stock the fridge with nothing but cheese and give him some every 15 minutes 😆 Those are his favorite things that he can still do.

Thank you, I appreciate that ❤️

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 3d

Thank you! Yeah he's been so happy. He's been making his happy goon-face or snoring in the tent pressed into me (and he's not normally much of a cuddler.)

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 3d

Thank you, that means a lot! Me too. I'm so scared but for the dogs it works for it sounds like it has really promising outcomes. I just hope he's one of them. He's such a sweetie, he's my whole heart.

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 3d

He's already loved it so much that I had to bribe him off the footprint twice before I could even get the tent set up ❤️ Thank you!!

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 3d

He is! I still call him my puppy he's such a sweetie. Thank you ❤️

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 3d

Thank you so much! I will for him, it's the least I can do for this sweetheart.

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 3d

Thank you, and omg I know you would too, you love your dogs so much. I'm so sorry things can be so hard with yours too 😭❤️

Thank you, yeah my heart is breaking. & I will!

If this stuff works apparently he could go back to life as normal. But we're not even sure what's going on so its a long shot. All we know is we ruled a ton of things out.

We don't know why my dog is declining rapidly & the only guess left is an autoimmune attack on his spine. On Tuesday we're trying the last ditch shot: a type of chemo drug

He loves backpacking so I'm going to fake camp with him in the yard every night until he's passed on or he's better

In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a major plot point are “Secret Stones”, which are just straight-up magatama from Japanese legend:

A set of five jade magatama: they’re all shaped roughly like just one half of the taoist yin-yang symbol, with a notch through the head for a string.

I'm just really impressed they got those massive bangs to work out

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 4d

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 4d

Those are incredible. Yet another set for your rather glorious glasses collection

The one who plays Link wasn't named, but I also didn't realize there is a translation here: glitterberri.com/a-link-to-th...

Someone else just posted it so tonight's my first time seeing it
