Title- Having a Ball (December 1, 1990)
Game- Legend of Zelda
The title of this could be interpreted as a sports episode. I saw series 3 first so I thought that this show would have a ridiculous amount of sport based guest star episodes. As it is, I found one of the best episodes of the show.
This episode is based around Zelda, has a ton of cameos and features Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo betraying Mother Brain once more. Yes it rocks.
The episode starts off by showing s how the triforce was reformed, a link to their own series in which they were trying to retrieve it from Gannon. I loved that music when King Hippo and Eggplant first see the triforce. The ball part wasn’t annoying as it may have been and gave us a load of cameos, Dr Wright, Prince Plenty, Bayou Billy, Link, Zelda. I found it funny the way the announcer presented Link.
One thing this episode did was showed us was how the war was taking a toll on Lana, rather than wanting Kevin around for once, she was talking more to Simon since the two of them were around before the war and knew of peace. Kevin was shown as a bit of a loser, which is always good, not because I hate Kevin or anything, but because it makes him more human, showing us he’s great at games, but not so good with the ladies.
Link’s always cool to see interact with Kevin and here was no different, especially the way they greet each other at the ball. Plus we actually get a romantic relationship between Link and Zelda this time, another nice addition that goes with the other series. Another nice touch was seeing Zelda’s link to the triforce, another nice touch.
It was also funny seeing how two morons use the tirforce, King Hippo just eating and Eggplant Wizard getting dancing Tomato Women. Speaking of them, Eggplant Wizard was shown as much more devious this time, managing to beat Mother Brain and capture the triforce. Also if you don’t find King Hippo in drag dancing with Simon funny you must be dead.
I could go on all day about this episode, but you have to see it, one of the series best. Only a Pero cameo could of made it any better.
