Commentary

- The "Celida" comic in question

Before I say anything else, I actually really appreciate this sort of feedback and am happy to get it. I just find the deluge of information in my inbox and twitter feed amusing.

Oh, and so long as I'm mentioning social media, I'm on Tumblr now.

I mentioned in the comic's commentary that I didn't think there was any actual Zelda video game where you could have a co-op partner controlling a fairy for you. While this REMAINS TRUE, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker apparently had a co-op mode where a player with a Game Boy Advance (GBA) and a connection cable could control a character named Tingle from the GBA to drop bombs and stuff. I bet Susan wished that was what the "A" button was for in the Celida version.

I had forgotten about this feature, and what's funny about it is that while the character Tingle is not a fairy, he would LIKE to be a fairy. At least, I think he did. My recollection is that it was this guy's life ambition or something, and... wait a minute. Wasn't he introduced in Majora's Mask? AND HE'S IN WIND WAKER? Wow. I wonder where he's supposed in whatever theoretical timeline is out there? Is he immortal? Is there a Tingle cult? I suppose I could look at that Wikipedia page I linked to, but that's just madness.
