Re: The Legend of Zelda: Empire of Darkness (M)

Thanks so much n.n I'm very glad to get a review from you. And thanks for the tense help. I tend to get confused with those. I generally focus more on the creative aspect of writing than the technical part. Good to hear the more realistic approaches are being appreciated too.

The Japanese suffixes. I noticed most tend to dislike them. I love them, mostly 'cause I'm an anime and manga geek fan. I tend to watch most of my anime in Japanese with subtitles 'cause I can't stand English voice actors. I like suffixes, I've learned to love them from all the Japanese I watch and read. So I wanted to add it to the Zelda world culture. Even though their cultures are certainly different.

But lately I've been only receiving complaints about it than praise. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a good idea or not. I'll keep it in mind. Perhaps I'll go back and change it in the future when I'm more certain about what I want.

And Khaz and Leita's father. Yeah, I basically ditched the original design of the fishermen's character from the game. I mostly just liked the idea of Khaz and Leita being a fishermen's children. Their father is completely different, really not even the same person. I replaced him with my version that I wanted. I pick and choose what I want to keep. But with big main characters like Ganondorf, I generally try to stay as accurate as possible.

Speaking of, thanks for the tip about the Deku Tree sprout. It's something I had forgotten about almost entirely. So thanks for bringing it up so I can make that part of the story more accurate as well.

Thanks for the great review. I hope you will always post a comment for my chapters. The readers know best about what makes a good story. And it'd be great if you did create more fanart. It's always appreciated.
