Biography
Dannyboy601 was born on 15th October 1997 in London, England, alongside his twin brother. His first experience with the Zelda Series occurred when he was 6 years old, in the year 2003. His friend happened to be the only girl in the class who owned a games console of any sort, which earned her a lot of recognition. One day, whilst visiting her house, they decided to play Ocarina of Time on her Nintendo 64. At first he was skeptical, but after (what seemed like) hours of bombchu bowling, rupee foraging, Peahat slaughtering fun, his mind had changed, and he began to visit her house every single Thursday.
The fun lasted until, unfortunately, the game was lost at some point and his next Zelda experience wouldn't happen for another 4 years. It was the last day of the school term before the Christmas holidays, and as a result, there was a 'game' day. The classroom was filled with Nintendo DS's, and his friend let him have a go on hers. Inside was a cartridge of Phantom Hourglass. He played it, and instantly all of his memories of Ocarina of Time came flooding back. He decided to get his own copy of Phantom Hourglass, and his love of the series began to grow. A few months later, another one of his friends lent him a copy of The Minish Cap, which he also thoroughly enjoyed, but could not complete. Unfortunately, he eventually had to give it back.
After playing through Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Dannyboy601 learnt of the existence of even more Zelda games, and soon managed to get his hands on a copy of The Wind Waker, which became his favourite game in the series. His goal was to play every single Zelda game there was, although this dream has yet to come true. The main turning point in his life as a Zelda fan occurred on Christmas 2011, on which he received five different Zelda games (Link's Awakening DX, Four Swords, Twilight Princess, Spirit Tracks and Skyward Sword). Since then, he has completed all of them, and has also obtained every other game in the series with the exceptions of A Link to the Past and Majora's Mask, although he has yet to complete The Adventure of Link.
Now, Dannyboy601's love for video games has grown immensely. He enjoys playing games from a variety of genres and time periods. However, Zelda still remains his all time favourite series.
Completion Status
Below is a list of all the main series Zelda series and how far I have gotten to completing them. I usually enjoy 100% runs, but if it's as ridiculous as Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks then I often just won't be bothered. Therefore, don't expect those two games to be 100% completed any time soon.
*Virtual Console or Remake

Outside of Zelda
Although I truly love Zelda, I do have several other interests too. I enjoy reading, mainly horror, mystery and fantasy. Some of my favourite authors include J. K. Rowling, J. R. R. Tolkien, Erin Hunter and Anthony Horowitz. I also enjoy some of the works of Bram Stoker and Charles Dickens. I never used been a huge fan of music, and only really listened to video game soundtracks. Recently, I have developed more interest in rock and metal, some of my favourite bands being Iron Maiden and Avenged Sevenfold. I dislike most sports but love basketball, table tennis and badminton, and used to like swimming up until a few years ago. I am also a decent artist and used to draw comics in my spare time. Some of my other favourite video game series include Pokémon, Final Fantasy and Assassin's Creed. I am very interested in computer programming, and hope to study it further once I leave school.
