I Link, Therefore I Am.

Indeed, there is a book that has finally been written for me and I discovered it last night at Barnes and Noble. 'Twas a glorious moment. As I was searching the Philosophy section for Thus Spoke Zarathustra, I stumbled across the most prolific piece of writing ever written for geeks:

The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy.

It was one of those moments every person experiences in their lives; a moment of pure unadulterated joy and exhilaration, the natural high, so to speak. That moment when you begin to hyper-ventilate, tears well up from the depths of your soul and exuberant laughs and cries spill forth from your body. Eventually I calmed myself down, but I'm still not off that high, as I have only begun the first chapter of the book.

Already I have delved into the philosophical theories of the emotional connection between the gamer and the actual game. God does exist.

Please do yourself a favor, especially so if you're a long-time Zelda fan, and read this book.
