Hahahahaha. Probably a good thing you didn't post everything then, as that's the longest chapter I've written thus far.
In seriousness though, thanks. I'll try.

Well, hopefully I can shatter a few more of your expectations about a game novelization in the future.
And thanks. It's always nice to hear from someone new.

Heheheh. I must confess, I myself had imagined that part of the fight scene in slow motion as well. And it's always nice to hear that I'm writing the fighting scenes okay. It's hard to find an even balance between detailing them enough to let the reader know what is going on in this short period of time, but not bog it down in extravagant detail and make it slow. Glad to know that I have indeed accomplished this though. Thanks.

Oh, there were several factors keeping me away. The charger for my laptop died, so I had to get it replaced, then I moved into an apartment and didn't have internet for a few months, and then just... other real life stuff got in the way. But that's of no concern. I'm back now, and I plan to see this thing through to the end.

Great chapters. I liked to last chapter better, it seemes to have more action, maybe because of the whole peahat thing.
I bet it is going to be hard for Link to go to temple to temple in the future.

Yeah, I was trying to convey that Hyrule was a majestic kingdom, but that it was also dangerous. I figured the best way to do this was to throw what is probably the most annoying field enemy in the game (sans the Big Poes, of course).

Keep up the good work!
Hopefully there wont be a year gap till your next update.

I hope so as well. And thanks for the comment. It's always appreciated.
Oh, also, just to keep everyone posted. I made a slight edit to the previous chapter. Instead of Talon leaving for Hyrule Castle the next day, I changed it to three days. As I started writing Chapter 10 (yes, it's already in production, for those of you worried that I might wait several months before updating again) it became glaringly obvious that a single day was not enough to do all that I wanted to with Lon Lon Ranch. Thus the change was necessary for the momentum and development of the story. But yeah, just thought I'd let you guys know so you weren't all like, "Wait, didn't he say they were leaving tomorrow, and now they're staying for a few days?"
