    Heheheh how did you know that . . .

    Okay, technically it is. The problem being that I actually haven't ever played it. I have however, watched a lot of play-throughs and sat with my own sister when she played it. So I've had a lot of experience with it lol. The story and art direction of Majoras Mask is phenomenal, but I haven't played the game so I don't have an opinion of the mechanics yet. 

    Favorite Zelda that I have played so far is probably Skyward Sword. 

    What can I say....🤪

    Skyward sword is fantastic. And I highly suggest playing MM eventually.

    hehe good to hear I'm not alone . . . As for the hobbit thing, it is the best of what I've read so far. I'm pretty young and I haven't read a massive library of books to really compare it too. I also have a really strong bias towards it so there's that too (It played a significant part in my childhood).

    Well I guess its my bias of the Cosmere against your bias of the Hobbit. 😂

    Time for my unpopular opinion:

    HP- is extremely overrated and really doesn't deserve much of the praise it gets. It's writing is sloppy and the only really impactful thing that came out of the series was its aesthetic. If you love it, I think that's awesome! But honestly I find it extremely mediocre.

    Lotr- Is a masterpiece of writing and lore--I will die on this hill (hehe). The writing is sort of tough I guess . . . but it's not a hard read compared to a lot of other stuff I've read so I guess I don't remember it being too hard? It can be boring at times, but lotr isn't supposed to be an action-packed thriller, so I don't see the slow parts as a flaw. Most of the tropes that people insist that lotr started are actually modern half baked versions of what Tolkien actually wrote, and so imo it holds up well and it doesn't feel over done ( I will also die on this hill). Lotr is literally the ideal fantasy, and I know people say it alot and people get tired of hearing it, but it is. It isn't the best fantasy book ever however, that title goes to The Hobbit without a doubt-- but we aren't talking about that lol.

    anyway, that was kind of passionate . . . I have strong opinions on things (sorry)

    Well IIII am very fond of your opinion. 😝 While I do love the Hobbit, I am not sure if i would go as far to say its, "the best fantasy book ever." 

    But yeah i am equally passionate of the masterpiece that is Tolkien's Middle Earth.

    Harry potter is great. I feel i have personally have mostly grown out of it. Not that everybody has to. People can like it no matter how old. I don't think LOTR is overrated tho. Some may call me a biased zealot. I have certainly been called zealous over the Cosmere. But I do not think LOTR is overrated. Sure its not for everybody. Kinda like the Beatles. But that doesn't make what they did for their industry any less amazing or their art any less of a masterpiece. Or their accomplishments any less spectacular.

    I just have such immense respect for J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. I consider them having god fathered the fantasy genre as a whole. I love those men.
