Yeah, a detailed ending is what would be the best. You know what's sad, guys? Remeber when you beat OoT and you were just like "..." becuase the ending was incredible. You didn't want such an epic and heroic journey crammed with fantastic gameplay and interesting characters to end, and there you were. It was over.
And when Grass finishes this parody (I can't get
too far ahead of myself), I know that it's gonna be even worse, becuase we've all grown to love and appreciate this story. I have been having trouble calling this a parody lately, becuase, in its own way, is so epic and heroic. Sure, the jokes are great and Yellow;s stupider than I could imagine Link being, but, even still- this is an adventure. So hats off to Grass here.
Does anybody else feel it? That this isn't a mockery of Oot, but another kind of OoT?One with three borthers that have a mission, but its a comedy instead of a serious kind of adventure. Which is what I love. They still have a mission, they still have relationships with different characters (no matter how different they are from the game *cough-Malon-cough*, and they are still fighting for their lives.
Is Yellow stupid? Yes.
Is Epona the next thing to mental retardation? Yes.
But is this an adventure that captivates us, making us want more, but not for the same reason as other parodies? We want a new chapter to see how far our heroes, Yellow, White, and Black, get in their adventure. I don't read this for laughs- I know they'll come, and it's expected. I read this becuase Grass has a flair for storytelling. Does anybody else feel this way?
So I guess this is my ultimate review of what I get out of this parody as a whole, not just for a chapter or two. Grass, you have captivated us with a grand story and many twists on the plot- but it is still a grand adventure. I will not be satisfied with giving this story up until the very end. And I hope you continue with Majora's Mask, as well, Grass. You have created a parallel universe to the actual Zelda Universe, Hyrule and other lands, that it is almost beliveable that a giant computer could reside outside Lake Hylia and that rapping villians are still pure evil.
You aren't mocking the importance and urgency of Link's travels, Grass. You are merely exsercising them in a way that will make readers more engaged in the story and more attuned to laughter as opposed to boredom. That is why I will remain your number one fan until you leave ZU, becuase I can feel all this occurring, and the fact that I think alot like you
is another factor.
So, yeah. Alot of typing, but it's okay. I hope you all, expeccially Grass, realize my point of view of this as an adventure
and a parody, but certainly not a mockery. Epona, for example, seems more like an actual character in the story than a spoof off an existing character in an alternate universe. And that is why this thread will forever hold a spot on my hard drive- my word document is very large.
Grass, you have accomplished what not many writer scan say they have- you haev made it through more than half of your story, and I have a strong feeling that you will finish this amazing tale. Even I, the number two comedy writer on ZU, did not complete my award-winning LotR parody. So that is why you deserve my ultimate respect.
I'm sure there were many hard chapters to write, and many writer's blocks occurring when your fans (mostly me
) were simply begging for more. I know it is stressful- I've written two novels. But you, in my opinion, have overcome it, which is the exact reason you are number one in comedy writing here, and you have gained my ultimate respect.
So I hope this has helped you understand exactly what I am getting out of this amazing story. I know that it's always good for a writer to get specifics on what to change where for the next chapter, but my words of advice are:
"You've got talent. Now run with it."
Good luck, Grass. I expect to see a sequal after the climatic ending (which I am looking forward to
).
That is my review.
