Video Game Review: A Link to the Past

Zelda A Link to the Past was one of the first games in the illustrious series. I recently beat it again today (with 113 Deaths). It's a very very challenging game. You basically just move around and slash with your sword and use items. The game is simple...on the surface. It actually takes place after Ocarina of Time, but ironically it's the game blueprint for Ocarina.

The game starts out pretty slowly. You help your Uncle who gets really sick/injured take his sword and head out to rescue Princess Zelda from the clutches of the evil Aganahim. *Spoiler Alert* the evil wizard is none other than Ganon the demon king himself....You eventually go to 3 dungeons to get 3 pendants to unlock the evil destroying blade, the master sword.

After that you head to the dark world to free the seven sages...(Although this isn't your first time in the dark world.) The game then gets a lot tougher. Enemies do more damage,and take more. It's not until you temper the master sword to Lvl 3. Do you really stand a chance. Eventually you get the Blue Mail which decreases damage. The game stays pretty hard. Hearts and magic containers do not regenerate...making things difficult at certain parts.

The enemies and bosses are pretty varied. Most you just slash. Others are best beaten with an arrow or stunned with the hookshot or boomerang. Some bosses are really tough but eventually you get used to their attack patterns and beat them....

The final fight is pretty hard. It starts with an assault on Ganon's Tower. Then you beat Agnahim the evil wizard...then after the revelation you end up taking on the Giant Pig-man Ganon. Ganon takes a lot of hits to beat and Silver arrows....

Overall I really enjoyed the game. I beat it for the Gameboy Advance which was actually my first time beating it. This time i beat it on Wii U Virtual console. I think its one of the best game period...and overall the 2nd or 3rd best Zelda...i havent played them all...I need to beat Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Wind Waker.

The Verdict: 9.75/10

Tech Review: Iphone Air

I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life. Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Kanye West- Donda 2

This was another Kanye album I wasn't too hype to listen to cause of its bad reputation. I am glad he put it on traditional music services.The album was available on this weird music player thing in 2022 at first. Kanye raps alot about his ex wife Kim Kardashian here. I know he did on Donda 1, but he does it a lot more here. The song "Get Lost" feels empty and is so boring. "Security" has a weird beat...I mean it's too weird for its own good. I really like "Keep the Flowers", its got a nice beat to it.I liked "Too Easy" as well. "City of God" is arguably the best song....Alicia Keys does a great job, as does Five Foreign. A different version of "530" is here as well. I enjoyed "Pablo" too which features Future and Travis Scott. Ultimately its an average album....but it wasn't that bad overall. However it did fall woefully short of the first Donda 2 which was great. Lyrics 18 Beats 21 Depth 18 Tilt 18 Ver...

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game. The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
