Well, that one went by much faster than the first challenge I did! I suppose that tends to happen when one does a 30-Day Challenge in thirty days instead of half a year, eh? 🙂

The Zelda Challenge didn’t feel quite so full of introspection, but that’s my own fault. I did compile this out of several separate versions of the challenge, so some weightier things probably got left out. 😛

Still, at least I managed to finish this before the release of Breath of the Wild. I managed to slide in just under the wire!

I’m actually not sure what to make of what I’ve heard about Breath. I think I’ve made it abundantly clear that I like straightforward stories, and I dislike wandering around, but Breath seems to have gone in the latter direction. Ah, well, I suppose a proper judgment will have to be made by the people who actually play the game, whilst I watch and wait, green with envy! 😉

So, to end this challenge with a quick recap… and, of course, a challenge sent out to all of you! Here are all of my favorites. What are yours? 🙂
