Anyone ever play The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker? I did, I was an addict for about two years, always running around with my pictobox trying to take pics of more creatures to finish the collection. I played this game for a long time, and there was a lot about the game that I liked, and thought was amusing. I liked the new map system, how we have to sail from island to island instead of running around on one huge land mass. I thought it was amusing that they named an enemy Dark Nut (the big knight thingy).

But, the one thing I liked the most about it, and it may seem strange, was that it taught a lesson in disguise. When you are on the fabled Ghost Ship, and you fight ruthlessly against the enemies, you are expecting a rotten inside, with endless enemies. And, thats pretty much what you got. But, there was something that I noticed on the ship, in the form of a beam of light shining on flowers. I didn't think it fit the place, and didn't realize why it was there, nor did I understand the lesson until I accidentally sliced them with my sword. Out came life (hearts), which made me realize. Still confused about what the lesson of it is? Let me share with you.

Lesson: It doesn't matter how dark or how corrupted a place can get. You could be in the depths of hell, and it wouldn't matter. Your whole life could be collapsing around you, and still it would not falter. In even the darkest of hours, there is light. In the most evil of places, there is purity. In the times when you wish you were dead, there is always something to live for. Always remember this lesson, for it will save your life, as it did mine.
