First comment Hoo-HA!

Anyways, good comic. I'm pretty sure at this point in the story if I was sheik I would care less about Link as long as he didn't die.

And of course, when you think you damaged a main boss a lot...you've only tripped him...and he's now going to tear you apart.

Paper Street · 08-09-2006

Gah! I was so close to being first! I am defeated.

The awesomeness of the comic soothes my wounds of defeat.

Night Lord · 08-09-2006

The amount of times Link has taken damage has to be greater than his amount of hitpoints by this point...

/me goes off to count!

/me returns from counting
He has been hit 7 times, and to the best of my knowledge, you can be hit 8 times in AoL (but my memory is rubbish so don't quote me on that), so one more hit and Link is dead, so yah...

(Sorry for quoting you on that, but...) The amount of damage Link can take in Zelda II is dependent on three important factors, most of which you lack full knowledge of: the strength of the enemy's attacks, Link's Life level, and whether Link has obtained any Heart Containers. Not all enemies do equal damage (even at Life1, you can take quite a few hits from a Skaven Knight, but Horsehead's mace can make short work of you at the same strength), and I haven't made any official statement as to the power of the Miscreant's magic attacks.

Night Lord · 08-09-2006

Considering how it can make a thunderbird proverbially cack itself, I should assume its quite powerful.

And most of that stuff I realised when I replayed AoL about 5 mins after posting >.<

PS: AoL VERY hard

***mario*** · 08-09-2006

As I recall, the Miscreant's attack did no damage to Thunderbird, as no one had yet used Thunder spell to make him vulnerable to attack.

Yes, but when Thunderbird revealed his weakness to thunder (Who woulda knew?), he gets quite worried about The Miscreants power (See?)

the almighty aardvark · 08-10-2006

But two of the miscreants attacks were not of the conventional sort. He flew into link once and stepped on him on another occasion.

Are we allowed to discuss your comic comments in the comic thread? Because three cats in one house sounds like it would certainly keep one quite busy. It reminds me of when I used to volunteer at the ol' animal shelter. One half of it was just called the "cat room", and all the cats just sat around in there. They were only put in cages if they were sick or didn't get along. It was kinda fun because there were always one or two cats who would just follow you around all day.

What wasn't so fun was moving the mean cats to different cages so you could clean them out.

I think Link wants to go back to spelunking, poor guy =(

no i dont think so. (hoora for links)

deku12345 · 08-16-2006

Yay! I'm back and can view the comic. And a good one it is. Hopefully now the Miscreant will reveal more of his plans and stuff.

the almighty aardvark · 08-17-2006

Okay so far we know this about the miscreant:
1.the miscreant wants link to be more powerful
2.the miscreant wants ganondorf to get out of his way
3.the miscreant doesn't want anyone to know his plans
4.the miscreant isn't in the mood to have his butt kicked by sheik
If we knew his motives we'd be closer to finding out his real plan!!!
And if we knew his plan we'd be closer to finding out his real motives!!!
It's a fiendish endless cycle!!!

Toadstool · 08-18-2006

Oookayyy... this is strange. I have no idea why he wants him to be powerful... *gasp*

Watson, I think I may have a lead!

What if the miscreant can somehow harness Link's power? Hmmm... ^_____^

Ryoga · 08-18-2006

Well, he could probably train by himself if that was the case, since earlier I believe he pointed out he was fighting in the name of Link. (No, NOT in the name of love ladies and gentlemen.)

bee · 08-18-2006

OH NO!! MAYBE THE MISCREANT IS DARK LINK!

I thought you were supposed to stop in the name of love, and fight in a basement. Of course if you fought in the basement you might break something. Like someone's heart. So you should definitely stop.
LINK! ZELda.. ahem, SHEIK!! MISCY-DUDE! I think for all our sakes you should make up and play nice.

Agentcel · 08-21-2006

Hm...great comic Mario! Yes..that's all I have to say...
