I think Nintendo has taken a leap of faith, but in the right direction. Link is one of the most iconic heroes targeted at a young-audience ever, but I feel like the character has somewhat stagnated. He doesn’t seem to have any room for growth anymore. Meanwhile, Zelda still remains one of the most mysterious characters, despite the new take on her background design in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. She might be the successor the saga needs, and honestly: Its HER saga, and has HER name, it only makes sense that she becomes the new lead character.

For me, it was Dead Space. I was never a fan of scary games (especially ones full of jumpscares), but the original Dead Space’s premise was way too cool for me to pass up. I eventually got over jumpscares and creepy games in general, and I’ve been an avid horror enjoyer ever since.

The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows of all time, but unfortunately, I think it’s one of the shows that suffered for being on for way too long. On top of this, it kept on overstaying its welcome with spin-off shows that didn’t do it justice.

Tears of the Kingdom was an amazing addition to The Legend of Zelda, and it added so much to the timeline. However, while there were so many new items, weapons, and gear for Link to use, some of the most well-loved classic items were nowhere to be seen in the game. Imagine spending your time fishing in Hyrule Lake with your Fishing Rod or playing songs with one of the many musical instruments seen in the franchise. For me, I wish that the Grappling Hook or Clawshot were added to the game. Having something that would let you travel around the game’s world by grappling onto high places would be so useful (and fun).

For me, three characters in particular come to mind, and they are all pictured below. First, there is Temari, who not only excelled in the Chunin exams and made her skills clear in an intense battle against intellectual genius, Shikamaru, but she was also one of the first Genin to become a Jonin in the show, putting her significance paces ahead of many, if not all, of her Konoha peers. Secondly, there is Tsunade, who is obviously one of the legendary Sanin for a reason – she has immense physical power through her Senju and Uzumaki bloodline and some of the most impressive chakra control in the entire show. Not only this, but she also has incredible medical Jutsu knowledge and helped pass this on to the second generation, ensuring strength in the next generation. Lastly, there’s Konan, who is not only the only female character in the all-powerful Akatsuki organization, but the only known individual in the series to wield her unique paper Jutsu. On top of this, Konan went up against Tobi

I have to go with Gen 2, simply because it holds such a special place in my heart. Not only was the Johto Region where my first Pokemon video game experience took place with Crystal, but Generation 2 is full of many of my most loved Pokemon designs, such as Wooper, Ledian, Furret, Ampharos, Politoed, Espeon, Umbreon, Misdreavus, Gligar, Sneasel, Teddiursa, and Houndoom.
