Better a year off than rushing through, right? I'm sure you made a good decision :0) Good for you for the high average! :0D Let me know how the police course (academy?) goes, when you get there!

Been great! Got married back in June :0) What're you in school for, now?

wow, p_z_ is back! Just noticed :0) Welcome back!

Let's say "Still has primary custody over you" instead of "owns" (you're no slave, you're a princess ^_^). Well the good news is, when you're older and more independant (and move out of both of your parents houses), then you'll be able to choose who gets to visit you and when. If you still love your father (and still enjoy his company), then I think it's important to still see him to at least remind your mother that she doesn't have full custody of you, and you always have the option of choosing whom you want to live with. One great "wake up call" is if you ever get into an arguement with one parent, you have the right to live with the other.

I've had a few friends whom had divorced parents in my life, and I'm just curious, aren't you old enough to decide who you want to live with for now on? I'm sure you love both of your parents, but at 18 (according to the courts), you're allowed to choose whom to live with from now on. I hope that wasn't too personal to ask.

Thanks.

I'm not saying that tMC, FS, and FSA has more NPCs than ST (I honestly don't know that as a fact, but I think it's clear to assume that all NPCs shown don't represent THE WHOLE population. If that were true then even making a new Hyrule Castle would take forever). I'm just saying that since ST takes place only 100 years after the events of tWW/PH that this isn't enough time for a whole population to burst forth. Of course there were already natives of the new land (I'm assuming more than just the new Lokomo tribe, but also regular humans as well), but certainly not enough to have populated villages like FSA had.

I guess what everybody is mostly peeved about is the fact that you won't be able to explore the open world (which is on land) on foot, considering ALL of the other LoZ games that takes place on land Link was able to walk on Hyrule soil (so basically, people would have liked it if the Train acted more like Epona). The way I see it, ST's Hyrule is soo big that it needs a train for it to travel in the best matter. If Link traveled just on foot then it would take the player 3 times as long just to get to the next destination.

Now I personally believe that this ST Hyrule is the same as the one shown in tMC, FS, and FSA, and all of those Links had a fine time exploring Hyrule. Although this is true, I think that ST Hyrule just hasn't developed as much as those games when it comes to the population and the amount of villages/towns/etc.

Plus, when you get down to the nitty gritty, who really wants to play a game with the exact same locations as previous titles? That's why TP wasn't held on a high accord as OoT, and FSA didn't hold a light to ALttP. They had very similar locations, and that's why it didn't feel so original when you know what's going to be around the corner.

I honestly don't see the big problem with it comes to the train tracks. In PH you couldn't go in a new area until you've recieved a map (ST is going to be the same way). In PH sure there's free roaming, however is there ever a NEED to search every little square inch of the open sea? No. All you really want to do is go from Point A to Point B (and that basically is a train track).

So tell me, do you have any opinions on this new Zelda game?
