    Over the past few weeks:

    • Did the final battle(s) in LoZ OoT. Not actually that easy - for the first part, I thought I was dealing damage, but it was going on literally forever. As a recurring theme for me, I had to read how I was meant to progress.
    spoiler

    Turns out hitting the energy balls back at him isn’t enough! Got to shoot him and run and hit him. But if you’d already raided the all pots below for magic top-up and hearts, you’re going to run out of magic before you can beat him…

    The final final battle seemed hard, but was easy enough once I turned off z-targeting.

    • Started playing LoZ ALttP, but I just couldn’t really get into it. I loved Link’s Awakening (GB version), but maybe I’m just not in the mood for 2D Zelda right now.
    • I bought Need for Speed Paradise City on sale before. It’s alright for a while, but you often end up doing a race and then immediately driving the same race in reverse, so it’s a bit repetitive. Also the city environment is quite industrial, which is maybe the point, but I usually miss the turns because it’s mostly a grey blur. Unlocked the fastest motorbike. It’s fast.
    • Bought Skyward Sword HD, mainly for my son. Too early to say much about it, but there’s this move where you point your sword at the sky to charge it, and it’s quite difficult to actually hold the joy con in the right position for the game to recognise it. It’s kinda annoying.

    Edit: also did a run through of pokemon blue (emulated, with random battles turned off) because it’s so quick. It’s one of my all-time top games, and I still play it every now just to enjoy it again

    I’ll probably finish OoT this weekend. I didn’t play the N64 original, but I had the disc that came with Wind Waker on Gamecube, so I’d played it once before. I find the controls on the Switch really awkward at times, particularly using the right analogue as the c buttons and the desire to use that as a way to move the camera instead. But still an enjoyable play. I had to look up a guide when I was stumped on how to progress sometimes as well.
