How to Draw: Nintendo's GREATEST Heroes and Villains

You probably heard of "How to Draw Nintendo Heroes & Villains" infamous for calling Bowser 'Kerog' (ha!) Well, last year, I bought the "sequel" to it. I was expecting Bowser to be "Kerog" again but luckily that was not true.

This new "How to Draw" book was awesome. It had a bunch of Mario characters I won't bother saying (Waluigi is in there), Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong (No Tiny, no Snide, no Chunky unlike the original however), Samus, Fox, Slippy, Falco, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf (all Wind Waker style)!

And if that wasn't good enough, all of the pages are...what the...FULL COLOR!?!?! And every page even has beatiful backgrounds, from a bunch of Goombas in the fields to Arwings fighting? It seems as if this is a "Sorry for making a crappy, black and white How to Draw book with Mr. Bowser's name spelled wrong" from the authors of the first book.

Link and the Portal of Doom

Hey, wanna see a cool book I got at a book order in my school about a year ago? It's Link and the Portal of Doom. I actually got this book, before I played a "The Legend of Zelda" game. I'm sure no one has ever heard of this book so I'm nice enough to include a picture.

The book takes place shortly after the events of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. (Young) Link and Navi are walking through Hyrule Field when Talon (reffered to as simply farmer) tells him that his Cuccos have escaped! Link goes off to find them in the forest.

Link then finds a giant portal sucking Cuccos in! The portal then starts sucking Link in! Link is able to escape the portal's sucking power, but he wonders how to stop the portal from sucking everything in. It might even suck everyone from Hyrule in!

Navi finds text near to the giant portal. It's Ancient Hylian, and Kaeopora Gaepora (out of nowhere) is able to translate Ancient Hylian for Link. Iy says that to close the portal, Link must play songs for it, or something like that. Link goes around Hyrule learning new songs.

At the end, he combines all songs and sings all of them for the portal who's trying to suck him in. The portal starts getting weaker as Link keeps playing. And then the portal almost sucks Link in, but Zelda and Impa get him just in time.

The portal closes and Hyrule is saved. Link says that he and Zelda will protect Hyrule "together". Zelda smiles and says "Together". Ah...sweet love. Oh and this book is part of the Nintendo Heroes series (the other books in the series I don't have but I've heard of another one about Mario).

This book was made by Tracey West. Oh and there's stickers inside. And it has the official Nintendo seal, don't worry.
