This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Play an Ocarina of Time when it first came out, which means I was playing straight through with no sleep, until I finally came upon the volcano level and got stuck. I got so frustrated that I went to the GameStop and picked up a strategy guide. Only to discover that the section I was stuck on was actually super easy and I was just sleep deprived. So I went to bed and came back the next day and I overcame that obstacle in like 3 seconds.

It was always the water temple for me as an unmedicated ADHD child.

As an adult it's laughably easy.

I'm lucky that I have really good spacial sense, I've never hated water dungeons the way a lot of people do.

Was it so new there was no GameFAQs guide yet at the time?

Day 1 US release. The original Legend of Zelda was my first grade school crack addiction, no way I wasn't getting OoT on day 1 back then.
