Here we go again.
In a rare occasion, I was recommended the series Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii? (we’re just going to call it Elf-wife from now on) during my obsessive Unicorn Overlord discussion adventures and was surprisingly hooked by it. For one, it isn’t isekai and the magic system and cast did charm me. I was about 2/3rds of the way caught up before I learned that it got an anime adaptation THIS season so now I have something to look forward to every week, even though the anime will definitely not have the time to get to the interesting parts of the series. I also have DAL 5 and Blue Archive but those are definitely turning out to be duds.
The very first big task for ALttP is for Link to rescue Zelda, a task his uncle fails to do. We trek our way through the Hyrule Castle dungeons, face a mini-boss, and meet with the princess incredibly early given how the rest of these games have been. This is the earliest rendition of Zelda’s Lullaby we get to hear, a series staple that we’ll definitely be hearing more versions of in the future.
