I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    There was always something rather melancholy about visiting Link’s lonely grandma in Windwaker. Or was that just me?

    • echolocate chocolate

      I’m replaying Wind Waker right now and I revisited my home for the first time last night. No, it’s not just you. She seems so very fragile, especially as your home island is surrounded by a perpetual storm the first time you return.

      The game encourages you to return home regularly by giving you one of the most powerful healing items (Link’s favourite soup!) if you visit her with an empty bottle. It feels like it’s giving you an in-game excuse to do something Link really wants to do.

      The game is packed to the brim with charm. Holds up amazingly well.

    No wonder Link was so eager to go adventuring, time after time.
