I was just searching around when I came across a humorous list known as "Things we've learned from RPGs." Long story short, it was a list of RPG cliches, and how they apply to life. For example, (Since I lack the ability to explain things very well.) one I saw was "Whenever a huge, unavoidable catastrophe is about to occur and you only have one chance to stop it, don't fret if you screw up. You'll most likely get to try again."

So, why not do one for Zelda? I'll start.
- Chickens are out to get you.
- You will be rendered invelnerable to fire, able to breathe under water, and resist damage, simply by wearing a different coloured tunic.
- If you are ever in possesion of something powerful, like a peice of the triforce, don't expect it to do any more than allow you into the final dungeon.

EDIT: GAH! I ment to put this in general entertainment! If a mod could move this, I would appreciate it. Sorry about that!

This topic showed up months ago, we've all seen the list, but I haven't made my own yet...

Hrm, from Zelda?

-Bombs, twenty rupees.
-New silver arrows, 200 rupees.
-Kicking some giant pig's ass and getting to screw with some girl of royalty you don't even know? Priceless.

This was already made? Crap... >_< Didn't see it before. Sorry about that.

It's OK, it's still freakin' hilarious to make these up though.

Hm, things we have learned from Zelda:

Bombs were invented when people still used swords.
The ocarina is the only instrument that's magic.
You can get hit hundreds of times as long as you have plenty of glass hearts.

Things we've learned from Zelda:

- Selling bombs to children is 100% okay as long as they have something to carry it all.
- If you fall into a pit, never fear, you'll be brought back up to the top with no extra charge! (Except a segment of a heart)
- It's no surprise that Zelda is for ever getting kidnapped, the princess's guards can't even keep a little kid out.

Pulling out a magic sword has the power to separate you into four copies, each with different color clothes.

To have old ladies talk to you, you have to show them a letter.

Sapphire is not a good stone. If you have one, you will have to marry a freaky fish thingy.

When you reach adulthood, you can no longer carry sticks, use slingshots, throw boomerangs, or plant seeds ever again.

By playing a song backwards, you can slow time down to 1/3 it's speed.

If you want lamp oil, ropes, and bombs, you must have enough rupees.
