A very effective ending to a well-thought-out piece. I'm sorry if this comes off as very critical or sterile, I don't mean it to be, but I am measuring words carefully so I'm not gushing at you. I think I reviewed a month ago after chapter 20, I'm afraid I am usually one of those who waits until the story is complete to comment--but anyways, I stand by everything I said then: your story is comprehensive and a pleasurable, easy-to-enjoy piece. The ending gives us an ending, but it also starts the circle that is the LoZ world, and you've given us a solid beginning that the games never really will. You breathed a great deal of life into your characters, making them accessible to LoZ fans and those looking for a good read. I have recommended this to friends as a very worthwhile read and hope you consider jumping outside your usual fandom more often =) Not that there is anything wrong with IY, I really like a number of your other stories too, but your venture outside of that fandom has been fun. Best of luck with school and such and I'll continue to watch for updates of your work.

I really enjoyed reading this OoT prolouge fic. It was a real well-made Zelda fic, maybe you'll win an award or two for it. About worrying about posting the final chapter sometime after your last one, don't sweat it. Your computer's health and safety comes first after all. Frankly, your chapters are always worth the wait, no matter how long you take to post them, so I really don't see the problem there. I just hope that you didn't lose any important files and that your computer works properly now. Meanwhile, thank you for sharing this wonderful Zelda fic with us. Keep on rockin', lass.

What a beautiful ending! It truley gets Ganondorf in a different perspective! And I always wondered how exactly the witch sisters managed to steal Ganondorf away from his Gerudo mother in order to raise him into the Zelda villian in OoT. Nicely done!

Hey, good story! But I have to say that your Link blanks out just a tad bit too much for my tastes, even if he's more realistic than the actual Link. I mean, he's the Hero of Courage after all, he can't faint for every Trial that he faces all the time. Having Sheik commenting and being ironic about his blanking moments is really funny though. Update whenever you can please.

Ok so I spelled 'bound' wrong... I feel like such a moron (god I hope I spelled it right this time... heh heh) Ok on to the purpose of this new post... a sort of flame if you will. What the hell!?! You used to post once a week or two? I used to check for updates several times a day, just cuz the rest of your posts followed a sort of schedule once-a-week thing... Then I started to check only once a day and evenually to once every few days... You know how hard it is going through your day hoping for something only to have your hope smashed to little itty-bitty peices to non-existence every time you get on your computer?!? *crys* WHY!!! WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL!!! No hard feelings I hope... just verbalizing my despair, still love your work, and personally I don't think you could post fast enough to keep me happy ^_^

Hey Emerald-san, you're American right? I dunno wheather you know about it or not, but currently there's a Zelda contest featuring TLoZ-Phantom Hourglass vaild until the 21th of October. You can find out more about it through this link: http://zelda.com/universe/game/phantomhourglass/sms_contest.jsp I'm not telling you this to advertise the contest or anything, but since you're also a Zelda fan, it wouldn't hurt to tell you about it no? Also, the questions are fairly easy and there seem to be a lot of prizes to boot. I cannot participate unforunetly, because I come from a minaturated populated dot called Malta (if you ever even heard of it, that is), and the contest is valid only for American residents. Must be nice to be American and have decent contests...*sigh* Good luck with the contest, and please update this story whenever you can, thank you!

I'm happy that you kept this fic dark but with a chirpy and realistic view of LoZ. People tend to forget that most LoZ plot has quite a lot of dark in it despite that most of the games are aimed for children. Zelda always had dark elements anyway, and not just starting from "Majora's Mask". Like from "LttP", Link's uncle dies almost right at the beginning of the game. Like in "Majora's Mask", Skullkid was possessed by said mask and via him he cursed many people with jinxes. Not to mention the cursed and floody fate that Hyrule lands had to face throughout "Wind Waker". And now, your Link has to face monsters, witches, curses, dragons, even pink bunnies, when all he wanted was a quiet life spent happily and peacefully. But that wouldn't be good for the francise no? Well, just because you were forced to become a hero, doesn't mean that you can't complain about it. And that's what I like of your Link of all, him actually complaining about it. It's just so...human.

I'm glad that you didn't just totally focus your TLoZ story on OoT and kept it at that like most Zelda fans do. I'm a Zelda fan too and frankly, I'm quite sick of listening or reading about OoT here and there everywhere all the time. Sure, it was probably one of the best Zelda games ever created, but it's definity not THE best. True, ten years ago, the graphics were fantastic, the gameplay was wonderful, and the plot was breath-taking. Yes, very nice indeed. The problem is that most LoZ fans want to stay stuck to that game. Instead of letting improvment flow in the LoZ universe, fans decided that Zelda is OoT in general, and that the other games could never be any better than it, no matter what drastic improvement or awards they gave off. For example, LoZ-Wind Waker got heavily criticied because Nintendo wanted to improve from realistic graphics to CG form, & wanted to cut away medivel elements from OoT to improve the OoT countinuation without borrowing from that game much. They complained that there was too little OoT elements in it. TP recived the same critic but in the opposite way. It improved the graphics in a realistic way and made the storyline even more darker than usual like in Majora's Mask. But it still got unfairly stepped over because most said that it borrowed too many elements from OoT. Huh? Does it make any sense to you? Maybe so, since you did use OoT elements in your story, but in decent portions, and not only that, you didn't just use OoT background for it. You used the whole of Zelda (you even included the wicthes) and gave actual importance to the Goddesses as well. If you don't call that Zelda, then you're a Mario dork. XD

I absolutly love reading this story. The classic Zelda elements found from both LttP and OoT, like the Pink Bunny and the differ races like the Zoras truly gave me a nostalgic feeling for both games. I also liked the added touch of adding sensible quotes said from great thinkers to great people at the beginning of each chapter, from Mahatma Gandhi to Aristotle, give you a fair idea of what the chapter will be about through them. It's quite an original idea really.
