Am I the only nerd reminded of Zelda?
While looking at the rows of Valentine hearts?

I don't even have the Wooden Sword yet. :cry:

7. Man you're already on like, level 5
Link, he come to town
Come to save the princess zelda
Ganon took her away
Now the children don't play
But they will when Link saves the day
HALLELUJAH!

Now Link, fill up your hearts
So you can shoot your sword with power
And when you're feeling all down
The fairy will come around
So you'll be brave, and not a sissy coward

Now Link has saved the day
Put Ganon in his grave
So now Zelda is free
And now our hero shall be
Link! I think your name shall go down into history!

8. But do you have your fairy?
Without a fairy, you're not even a real man! :D

(One of my favorite video game quotes EVER, btw.)

34. I have a few memories of the old Zelda games...
http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=95

But since I never owned a Nintendo console, I didn't get to play them much.

I did get an emulator to try out the SNES and N64 ones though. :) Haven't gotten very far in 'em yet. Mostly 'cause of the whole moving across the country and starting school again thing... tends to take up a bit of my free time.

That and when I sit at my computer I invariably end up surfing DU for far longer than I should...

I always wondered about http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=118">this kind of thing too... :P

21. Ah, Zelda Fitzgerald...
... the Belle of the Ball! More jazz-mad even than Scott. Under whose cloak of greatness she hid her light for too long. And then the fire in the madhouse. It burned off the oil from her canvases layer by layer, until the truth of it all was revealed for one tiny instant that no living soul was there to witness.

Fucking typical.

24. This Zelda?

Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (July 24, 1900 – March 10, 1948), born Zelda Sayre in Montgomery, Alabama, was a novelist and the wife of writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, whom she married in 1920. Her husband dubbed her "the first American Flapper"1 She published an autobiographical novel, Save Me the Waltz, in 1932.

In June 1930 she suffered her first mental breakdown; soon afterwards, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was required to live from then on in a mental hospital. She died at the age of 47 in a fire at the Highland Mental Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina. Eight other patients were also killed.
