Hood-linked

I'm truly obsessed. Since Jen very kindly got me a Wii this Christmas, I have been 'hood-linked'
by this phenomenal game. The Wii active sensor controls really do add an element to the Zelda experience, which never fails to disappoint anyway. The fact now that you have to use the Wii-mote to strike your sword and release arrows from your bow adds a sense of freedom which has been missing from first person and adventure games. I am a bit miffed at the storyline but let's face it - as all Zelda fans will confess - each of the games have a similar underlying structure anyway; young Hyrulian farm lad is told he must overcome evil as the 'chosen one', young lad fights evil in various dungeons and collects pieces of relics or triforce which will defeat evil, young lad faces the ultimate evil (usually and always in the form of Ganon or Ganondorf).
In sum, this is an excellent game.

Christmas was great for me, I had a lot of stuff and got stuffed foodwise! Both meals at my house and Jen's house were very nice and I hope everyone out there had a wonderful time with their families.

I am beginning to get withdrawal symptoms already so I wish a very happy new year to all if I don't see you!!!
