Plactus (Re+)Plays The Legend of Zelda



The latest post.
Archives.

• Last week I finished playing Phantom Hourglass. Posts should run through early September.
• I'm planning to start Spirit Tracks once I get done writing about Phantom Hourglass, which should be later this week.
• I played the first quest of the original NES game last week. I'll tackle the second quest this week and try to write a retrospective/review when I'm done. The idea here is to use that format for writing about the Link's Awakening Switch remake, and then the other remakes (Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask 3D, Wind Waker/Twilight Princess HD). And hopefully the other games as time allows.

Unmarked spoilers for all games through Phantom Hourglass.

TW: Various creepy-crawlies, including spiders, insects, snakes, bats; fire; heights; death.

There are many Animal Rescue and SPCA causes that need support this week. Read this post and the one below it for all four links. This is Post 1 of 2, with the first and second links.

Leia Was Thrown Away...

When an anonymous neighbor went to investigate the muffled yelps she heard from her backyard, she discovered little Leia, frightened and alone, buried inside a tote bag in a trash can near her house.

The 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier spent her time in the intensive care unit when she arrived at the SPCA. Leia was so underweight that she needed to be placed on a monitored meal plan with special vitamins, all while battling severe dermatitis.

This little girl has a long way to go before she will trust humans again. You can help make sure she’s ready for her second chance at a happy life with your gift today: https://donate.yourspca.org/201908-rescue?erid=12...

The new site Free the Ocean helps remove plastic from the oceans and coastlines. Plastic pollution is a really serious issue, not only for our oceans but also marine animals (and even humans): https://www.freetheocean.com/

Due to the high cost of basic necessities, shelters often have to limit the number of cats they can save. You can help!

Just $10 provides 100 bowls of food, 1 bed and 1 vaccination for a shelter cat.: https://store.theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com...

This Man Chopped Off a Street Dog's Snout Because It Was Begging for Food. Sign to Demand Justice for this Horrible Act.

We are almost at a loss for words to describe this case of animal cruelty. But we will share it with you because it is so grotesque, so vile, that it demands attention and action NOW.

Brutal photos have surfaced of the chopped off snout of a poor street dog in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. The snout was found lying in the dirt, its nose pointing up at the sky, teeth bared. Just by looking at it you can imagine the pain the snout's owner must have gone through. After it was discovered, the story of how the dog was abused began to surface.

According to accounts, a drunk local decided to chop off the dog's snout "for fun" because it was begging him for food. One day the street dog was minding its own business, searching for food, trying to survive in the concrete jungle, doing what dogs do. The next minute the dog's life was changed forever.

Will you sign to demand punishment for the thug who did this?: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/618/24...

The dog was rescued by a local animal charity but because of its injuries, it is likely not to survive. Unfortunately, veterinarians are debating whether or not to euthanize the poor pooch to put it out of its misery.

Malaysian police are currently looking for the culprit but in a country where animal abuse punishments are notoriously lax, who knows what kind of punishment this thug will get unless we keep the pressure on the authorities.

Please sign the petition and tell Sabah State Veterinary Services and Animal Industry Department to find the person who did this and prosecute and punish them to the fullest degree under Sabah's animal welfare enactment.

Thank you,

Andrew M
The Care2 Petitions Team

P.S. Whoever did this must face consequences. Sign the petition.

Ms. Marvel - yes, that's Pakistani immigrant teen Kamala Khan, Carol Danvers superfan-turned-superhero

Moon Knight - don't know this guy as well myself, but he's Jewish and recalcitrant and moody, so yay
