  • The Legend of Zelda - Majora’S Mask Jumpchain by Cthulhu Fartagn
    The Legend of Zelda - Majora’s Mask Jumpchain by Cthulhu Fartagn The Story Thus Far In the land of Hyrule, the evil king Ganondorf has just been laid low by a young boy dressed in green. People celebrated their savior and life returned to normal. But alas, all was not well. You see, the child ultimately had no desire to be a hero, nor to be hailed and revered as their savior. And so, he left. Taking his Ocarina, his horse, and the blessing of Princess Zelda, he set out to far away lands in search of something he had lost. Unfortunately fate and destiny - and the goddess of time - have an unfortunate tendency to play with the lives of ‘Heroes’, and so they drew him back along a specific path. As he rode through the forest, he was accosted by a pair of fairies, Tatl and Tael and their friend, known as the Skull Kid. In a fit of childish whim, the fairies startled Link’s horse, Epona, and knocked him off - and out. The Skull Kid then stole the Ocarina from Link and attempted to steal his horse, only for Link to grab on and get taken for a ride. Over the course of chasing after him, Link would fall down a startlingly big hole and into the basement of a clock tower - and yes, I know that sounds odd. In another world entirely, things are subtly and quickly going very very wrong. The land of Termina is watched over by four Giants, Swamp, Mountain, Ocean, and Valley.

Works Cited………………………………………………………………………...23 6. Films Cited………………………………………………………………………….24 7. Video Games Cited…………………………………………………………………24 2 1. INTRODUCTION Doug Liman’s Edge of Tomorrow (2014) is, first and foremost, a summer blockbuster. According to boxoffice.com, the film, released worldwide around the last week of May and the first of June in 2014, had an estimated budget of $225 million and grossed over $369 million worldwide. Spectacle plays a big part in the film, which links the film both to the current trend of blockbusters that, like Edge of Tomorrow, rely heavily on computer generated imagery (CGI), but also to the products of a non- cinematic domain: video games. More specifically, it mirrors one of the current trends in video games commonly referred to as “space marine” games, which, interestingly enough, do not need to be set in space or have a marine as a main character. It is enough if the protagonist (usually a male one) is affiliated to some sort of army, is equipped with futuristic-looking armor and weaponry and is able to fight alien-like creatures (more often than not, the hero is able to do the work of the entire army by himself).

  • Musical Memory of the Player, Characters, and World of the Legend of Zelda Video Game Series
    MUSICAL MEMORY OF THE PLAYER, CHARACTERS, AND WORLD OF THE LEGEND OF ZELDA VIDEO GAME SERIES Sarah Teetsel A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2015 Committee: Kara Attrep, Advisor Alexa Woloshyn © 2015 Sarah Teetsel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kara Attrep, Advisor In 1986, Nintendo released a role-playing game in America known as The Legend of Zelda, which has since become a world-wide gaming sensation. A unique game element to the series is the use of musical instruments and in 1998, the Nintendo game makers brought the musical material to the forefront in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For the first time in The Legend of Zelda series, players were required to remember short tunes in order to complete the game. The memory and skill of the main character, and thus the player, expands over the course of the game, resulting in the use of the ocarina to travel forward in time to save the world. In 2002, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was released, with the main character acquiring a baton to conduct musical works for individuals as well as for the world at large, once again in the quest to save the world from evil. Using the theoretical framework described by Bob Snyder in his book, Music and Memory, I will utilize the three types of memory that Snyder identifies in his study to examine the musical world of The Legend of Zelda.

  • THE LEGEND of ZELDA: MAJORA's MASK and NOH THEATER By
    LINKING MASKS WITH MAJORA: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA’S MASK AND NOH THEATER by Sterling Anderson Osborne A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters in Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2014 Copyright 2014 by Sterling Anderson Osborne ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express gratitude to his committee members for their guidance and encouragement, with special thanks to his advisor for her patience, encouragement, and support during the writing of this manuscript. The author is grateful to those faculty at the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters who made it possible for him to pursue a study that is somewhat unorthodox for a student of literature. iv ABSTRACT Author: Sterling Anderson Osborne Title: Linking Masks with Majora: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask and Noh Theater Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Elizabeth Swanstrom Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2014 The field of video game studies is young and requires innovation in its approach to its object of study. Despite the large number of Japanese games and game developers, most scholars in the West approach video games from a point of view that emphasizes Western thought and that is concerned with either very recent video games or the medium as a whole. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask defies Western interpretations as its inspiration and aesthetics are steeped in a Japanese theatrical tradition that dates to the early Middle Ages, namely Noh theater.
