The names of the ancient Sages from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are all derived from ancient subjects.

Agraston - from Acasta Gneiss
Qia - from Myllokunmingia
Ardi - from, well, Ardi
Raphica - from Archaeopteryx lithographica

Graphic showing the names of four of the Sages from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. The Sage of Fire, Agraston, derives his name from 'Acasta Gneiss', a rock that contains the oldest known earth crust. The Sage of Water, Qia, derives her name from 'Myllokunmingia', one of the oldest vertebrates. The Sage of Lightning, Ardi, derives her name from 'Ardi', one of the earliest human-like specimens dating back 4.4 million years. The Sage of Wind, Raphica, derives his name from 'Archaeopteryx Lithographica', a late Jurrasic ancestor of birds.

I finished building the new Lego Game Boy set!
It's actually very close to the original. You can't see it in the pictures, but it's cool that they made the buttons "pressable".
The build itself was pretty fun too.

Lego Game Boy set showing the Marin and Link beach scene from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and the same scene on a real Game Boy.

Lego Game Boy set showing Level 1-1 of Super Mario Land with Mario jumping and hitting a block, revealing a Star power up, and the same scene on a real Game Boy.

Today is the 1-year anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!
It was the first mainline game in the series with Princess Zelda as the protagonist, and the first mainline top-down game since Tri Force Heroes (2015).

I completed and 100%'d Silksong last night!
The game was amazing, and definitely worth the hype. I don't know if it's "new game fever" or what, but I might even like it more than Hollow Knight...
