This little tidbit doesn’t really count as news, but it’s an interesting Zelda reference that put a smile on my face.
The Metro is a free newspaper distributed at bus and train stations throughout the UK. It’s often quite an unusual newspaper with obscure references - for example, it once featured an interview with Nobuo Uematsu, famed Final Fantasy composer - chances are, I was one of five readers who knew who he was.
So picture the scene. Waiting for an exam to start, I tire of studying, and pull out the (Scottish version of) today’s Metro I had stolen from the train station. Turning to the comments section, where readers text in short, often bizarre messages, one leaped off the page at me. You may not wish to read any further if you have not completed Twilight Princess, as there is a vague reference to the game’s ending. I repeat, TWILIGHT PRINCESS SPOILERS AHEAD.
The following comment was printed:
Got the girl, killed the baddies, saved the entire planet. It’s time to go home. This goes out to the dark princess. Goodbye my love x x.
Spaceman from Sighthill
I may be overly-quick to spot a Zelda reference, but that sounds suspiciously like the end of Twilight Princess! Spaceman, if you’re reading this (unlikely), let us know if this is what you meant by the comment. And congratulations on your victory! And yes, we all miss ”the dark princess”, but life goes on…
Update: Okay, this article is stupid and so am I. Let’s move on.
