I'm almost done with "Link's Adventure"...

This screenplay has been a very... different experience. Bottom line is that I think it's been more... 'emotionally draining' than almost anything else I've ever written. Whether it's the best thing I've ever written is debatable; it's quite good, by my low standards... but...

...geesh...

Anyway, LA will be in the neighborhood of 220-240 pages long (hopefully on the lower end...), making it almost half as long as Ocarina of Time; that's a damn-good thing, in my opinion. It is... what to call it?... "more thematically complex" than "Ocarina", but it isn't really easy to compare the two: LA and OoT are two drastically different types of stories (though they both be "sword and sorcery", yes...)

Confidentially: I said I wanted a trilogy, didn't I? I honestly don't know if that'll ever happen, in truth. If I ever wrote the follow-up Zelda story ("Triforce of the Gods") it would return to the tone of "Ocarina" much more than anything (ie: a more traditional, good-ol' 'adventure story'). I leave the door more than open enough for it (just how in the hell does one use "Dhise Slaighre", anyway?) but... still...

I just don't know, that's all.

I think I'm almost ready to go back to TYPERS, after all, and if I do leave this Zelda storyline unfinished... well... I could potentially live with that...
