The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Storyline
I had a friend of mine ask me what the storyline actually is for Ocarina of Time. He heard that it was a pretty good game, so I gave him the five minute run down. As I was describing this game, I realized that the storyline is more consequential and complex than I thought. It has a story of creation, the power of good and evil, and character based leadership. I’ll share my rendition with you here.

Experiencing the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
I was only six years old when I started playing Zelda. I didn’t even know how to read, and I know this because I remember standing in front of the Great Deku Tree for the first time and having my Dad help me read what he was saying. There are many reasons why I was hooked, especially so young. More than that, I still play sixteen years later. When I go home, I get on the N64, the Gamecube, and the Wii, shuffling through over twenty years of production. As a kid I placed bets on how many times I could defeat Ganondorf without using a fairy. As a teenager, I was seeing if I could beat the game in two days. Over the years, I became an expert on how to run through Ocarina of Time.

The "Must Laminate" Packing List For Backpacking
Everyone has their own packing lists. My friend, Bella, even laminated each of hers for different seasons and trips. Go Bella! My packing lists have changed many times. There’s packing for basic backpacking, which is essentially overnight hiking. Then there are things I’ll bring bike-packing, overnight canoeing, and even to a cabin that I won’t need all the time. Below are my must-haves, no matter what trip it is. Keep in mind that winter camping is much more nuanced than summer, because everything takes more effort and mindfulness in the cold weather. Plan ahead by going with someone experienced no matter what for your first few times. Then go solo when you feel safe and have your systems dialed.

How to Buy Gear Inexpensively As A Beginner Backpacker
Find Credible Brands That Will Last There are many credible brands out there that will last for years. I encourage you to invest in these brands, rather than the cheap alternatives. Different brands will usually specify in a few key items, so I will break this down for you in this section. With each of these items it is super important to check out their return, replacement and refund policies. We’ll start with finding a backpack, sleeping pad, and a stove.
