With the semi-final literary polish put on my article: On Spider Houses and Greed within The Legend of Zelda, I have just about finished with everything I have planned concerning Termina and the story of Majora's Mask. The one thing that remains to be done is a playthrough of Majora's Mask 3D, and a documentation of major architectural and design changes in the updated game. Once that is finished (I have just rescued Epona and am off to Great Bay!), I will post a pretty informal enumeration of changes in the Majora's Mask category, with any pictures I can find. (Finding adequate pictures from games has long been a challenge for me, and any assistance in that area that anyone can render would be greatly appreciated.)
And, at this point now, I am rather at a loss as to my direction. As I see it, there are two pretty obvious choices I can make, though they are starkly different: I can choose to find another Zelda game worthy of exploration and analysis (though many of the earlier games would be almost impossible to analyze meaningfully), or I can simply sit back and wait for Breath of the Wild. In my opinion, analyzing the major console games was always going to be the purpose of this website, simply because I connect more with those games - they are generally richer, more thoughtful, and more well-conceived than many of the handheld games, which are more geared toward informal, on-the-go play; because of this, they almost all lack depth or substance. Perhaps that is a controversial statement (one could argue that A Link Between Worlds breaks with that trend), but it is, generally speaking, how I feel.
If anyone has comments on this, or suggestions as to where to go from here, please do let me know. I am also not opposed to revisiting the games I've already covered - especially if I have missed something critical or interesting.
My best on this cold day,
Talbot
