Behold the Legend of a Life Time

sweeet! I wonder if they'll have that scene where Link sets the old man's door on fire and has to pay 50 rupies. If the scriptwriter seriously sneaks in "Hey you... Pay me for the door!" in the movie, it'll all be worth it.
Oh yeah, and there has to be at least a 20 minute scene of link running around town randomly assaulting chickens. I seriously spent HOURS tormenting those poor little things, throwing them off cliffs, hitting them with clay pots and losing myself in the massive chicken swarm of vengeance battle that ensued.

Which Zelda is that from?
-
the very first one! It's the hidden passage along the coast that you have to reach by setting a tree on fire with the lamp. Right where zora keeps shooting energy balls at you and those red and blue octorocks. More than 20 years later I still have most of the map stuck in my head!
If you're ever lost in the woods, go north, west, south, then west. That should take you.... west... lol

I hate to call hoax, but this was an april fools gag perpetuated some months back.
Edit - WEEKS. WEEKS back. My bad. Feels longer.

If I ever need help with the Zelda games, I know who to call

Honestly, with Link being right-handed, I'm glad it was a hoax, too.
-
Link should be right handed :p Left Handedness is evil ;)

Left-handedness isn't evil. It's right-handers who perpetuate such hate-based lies that're evil.
The real reason that lie was ever started of course was because right-handers just weren't clever enough to figure out how to properly fight someone who wielded a sword left-handed, so they became jealous of the left-handers winning all the duels.
Also, thanks to modern science, we know that left-handers are the only ones in their 'right-mind'... (hehehehe, love that pun.) Hence why left-handers tend to be more creative than right-handers.
Now if only I could justify this un-dying urge to blow up worlds...
-
Actually, the lie is a Christian belief "ancient" belief that those who use their left hands are evil based on the Idea of Jesus being the Right Hand of God, so his opposite (the Anti-Christ) would be the Left hand ;)
Or at least I think thats how it goes...
-
I always thought it dated back to when folks wiped their bums with their left hands, and ate with their right.
Thus the shaking of the right hand, the raising of the right hand... You get the idea.

See? I wasn't totally wrong... Doesnt mean its true though, either way :P
-
*Grins.* To criticize your point directly, considering that the Christian idea is of a three-in-one god (father, son, holy ghost), wouldn't Part A simply have Part B on His right, and Part C on His left? A, B, and C being variable.
Pwnination.
-
Hey, I didnt invent that story, so pwn the person who told me :P
And its called Triune...
Loser...
-
Trinity.
You fail. :)
Edit: Shouldn't you be at work?
-
They use both >.>
And I am at Work...
-
The trinity is the concept of a triune God
noun v. adjective (at least in modern usage)
-
We're not talking about Zelda triads or whatever wild sorcery and gadgets.
Total hoax. Next button!
-
:p Its an awesome one though! I wish it was true, or at least becoming a Mini Series

Tirinity was introduced to the christian communities by Martin Luther in the dark ages, and is not of original christian belief :) (all the things finnish history lessons teach you, whoa).
-
I wouldn't call Luther quite a Dark Ages philosopher. Pre-Renaissance, aye, but wasn't the printing press around then? (A check of the Wiki says yes.)
As to what predates current religions, there are quite a few things that could be brought up, but as interesting and informative as that discussion might be, this might also not be the best place for it. ;)

Er, no....
Tertullian, in the early third century, is the one really responsible for the trinity, although of course his formulation was a reaction to the "heresy" of Sabellius, whose conception of the trinity is what many contemporary churches teach...
Tertullian's formulation was later codified in the Nicene creed in 325; much of which was written to settle the exact nature of the trinity (the famous iota's worth of difference: homoousios v. homoiousios).
(Never thought I'd be giving theology/history of the early Christian Church lectures on a RPG website...)

Yes, you're probably right, but sometimes I just can't help falling into this mindset: xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By Randall Munroe (http://www.xkcd.com/386/) :)

Oh yeah. It really is against the natural law to let someone be wrong on the internet. :)
That point's really interesting though; I'd never really figured the origin of the trinity.

I have no idea why I'm perpetuating this non-zelda related talk but on the evils of left handed people from the highest wiki-authorities:
There are many colloquial terms used to refer to a left-handed person. Some are just slang or jargon words, while others may be offensive or demeaning, either in context or in origin. In more technical contexts, 'sinistral' may be used in place of 'left-handed' and 'sinistrality' in place of 'left-handedness'. Both of these technical terms derive from sinister, a Latin word meaning 'left'.[14]
Some left-handed people consider themselves oppressed, even to the point of prejudice. Etymology often lends weight to the argument:
In Hebrew, as well as in other ancient Semitic and Mesopotamian languages, the term "hand" was a symbol of power or custody.[15] The left hand symbolized the power to shame society, and was used as a metaphor for misfortune, natural evil, or punishment from the gods. This metaphor survived ancient culture and was integrated into mainstream Christianity by early Catholic theologians as Ambrose of Milan[16] to modern Protestant theologians such as Karl Barth[17] to attribute natural evil to God in explaining God's omnipotence over the universe.
Meanings evolved from use of these terms in the ancient languages. In many European languages, "right" is not only a synonym for correctness, but also stands for authority and justice: German and Dutch recht, French droit, Spanish derecho; in most Slavic languages the root prav is used in words carrying meanings of correctness or justice. Being right-handed has also historically been thought of as being skillful: the Latin word for right-handed is "dexter", as in dexterity; indeed, the Spanish term diestro means both "right-handed" and "skillful". In Irish, "deas" means "right side" and "nice". "Ciotóg" is the left hand and is related to "ciotach" meaning "awkward"[18]; in French, "gauche" means "left" and is also a synonym of "maladroit", meaning "clumsy". Same for the Italian "maldestro" and the Dutch word "links".
Meanwhile, the English word "sinister" comes from the Latin word "sinister,-tra,-trum", which originally meant "left" but took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era. Alternatively, "sinister" comes from the Latin word sinus meaning "pocket": a traditional Roman toga had only one pocket, located on the left side for the convenience of a right-handed wearer.[citation needed] The contemporary Italian word sinistra has both meanings of sinister and left. The Spanish siniestra has both, too, although the 'left' meaning is less common and is usually expressed by 'izquierda,'[19] a Basque word. In Portuguese, the most common word for left-handed person, canhoto, was once used to identify the devil, and canhestro, a related word, means "clumsy".
The left side is often associated with awkwardness and clumsiness. The Dutch expression "twee linkerhanden hebben" and the Bulgarian expression "dve levi ratse" ("to have two left hands") both mean being clumsy. The English phrase, to have "two left feet" means to be bad at dancing. As these are all very old words/phrases, they support theories indicating that the predominance of right-handedness is an extremely old phenomenon.
In ancient China, the left has been the "bad" side. The adjective "left" (? Mandarin: zu?) means "improper" or "out of accord". For instance, the phrase "left path" (?? Mandarin: zu?dao) stands for illegal or immoral means.
In Norwegian, the expression venstrehåndsarbeid (left-hand work) means "something that is done in a sloppy or unsatisfactory way". Additionally, one of the Norwegian words for left-handed, "keivhendt", comes from Norwegian words meaning wrong handed or not straight handed.
The Hungarian word balfácán means twit. (Bal means left and fácán is for pheasant.) Other synonyms are balfék and balek. However all these are euphemistic versions of the original vulgar word balfasz, combining "bal" and the vulgar name of the male genitals fasz.
In some parts of the English-speaking world 'cack-handed' is slang for left-handed. The origin of this term is disputed, but some suggest it is derived from the Latin cacare, in reference to the habit of performing ablutions with the left hand, leaving the right hand 'clean'.[20] However, other source suggest that it is derived from the Old Norse word keikr, meaning "bent backwards".[21]
In Tamil, the left hand is ?????? (i
