Things I Like: Toys R Us

Even though I'm not a kid anymore, I still like their store.

Good place to find toys for my nephews, their candy section is not bad, and their video game deals can often be very good. I remember getting a $25 gift card for buying Super Mario Galaxy on release date.

My Top Five Zelda Games #3: A Link to the Past

This is easily the best of all the 2D Zeldas. A huge epic quest that often rivals Ocarina of Time in greatest game lists.

The quest is pretty much the first Zelda but with everything so much better, defined, detailed, and expanded. It's not a remake by any means, but it was the 3rd Zelda, and defiantly a better sequel than Zelda II: Adventure of Link.

I loved the Light World-Dark World element. It was so good that Nintendo shameless did it again in games like Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess.

The dungeons were numerous and epic, and some of the best the series has ever seen. Plus the Ganon fight was probably the best the series has churned out so far as well.
