This weekend I picked up two old GameCube favourites of mine: Metroid Prime and Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. I had not played these games since I beat them years ago, and dipping my toes into those worlds brought on a deluge of memories.
My last game save on Wind Waker was in 2006, but I played the bulk of it the Spring & Summer of it’s release in 2003. Between the time that I was fully immersed in that archipelagic world, and when I went to the disc channel on my Wii to play it this weekend, I’ve:
- Completed 4 years of University
- Moved out of my parents’ house and in with my fiancée
- Abandoned organized religion
- Created the entirety of my portfolio
- Got engaged
- Moved to Ashley and my 2nd apartment
- Watched my cats give birth (The first birth I’ve ever seen)
- Went to the states for the first time that I can remember
- Started shaving and slowly became perma-scruffy
- And made some amazing friends
