April 27, 2004 | Yeah, OK, I'm Going To Keep This Short... *Sigh*
UPDATES MADE - *None
CURRENT NEWS - *None
COMMENTARY - Ok, yeah, I hate to say this, especially with the few updates there have been this month, but I'm going to take a few days off. There's something seriously wrong with my arm, more specifically my elbow. I woke up this morning with it mildly aching, however, as the day has progressed, me working on something for the site, the pain has increased and more disturbing, I find that I cannot straighten my arm - odd... it won't go past how it's usually bent when I'm using the mouse (or maybe not so odd). So, I'm going to take a few days off the computer, use ample amounts of bengay and/or heat pad and PRAY it stops hurting. No mail checking, no updates, no forum posting (on any of my communities). Alright, there, Tata... I'm off.

April 26, 2004 | Ocarina Walkthrough Part One
UPDATES MADE - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time *Walkthrough Part 1 Added
CURRENT NEWS - The first part of the Ocarina walkthrough is up and ready for your viewing enjoyment. Look for part two to be added sometime this week. If you have any questions, comments, etc please e-mail me by the link located on the "Meet the MCLoZ Staff" page.
COMMENTARY - Woohoo! I really enjoy writing these walkthroughs, so I hope that even if you already beat the game, just try to give the game another run through. It brings back a lot of memories, especially to be able to see Zelda again in full 3d glory after being through a Cel-shaded Wind Waker. I smiled quite a few times during writing this, just because I remembered all the hype this game carried, and I remember the very first time I walked down to a friends house to play OoT for the very first time (I had to wait to get mine until Christmas, boooooo!). I, and I'm sure many others, were amazed at this game. So, if you either have the nifty Zelda collectors disk with OoT on it, or if you still have your Nintendo 64 and OoT cartridge sitting around, just dust it off and give it another run through in your free time to just remember how awesome this game is. Anyways, you'll see another walkthrough update very soon!

April 26, 2004 | MagicFox Wants To Talk About Anime!! I Think I Will - Whee!!
UPDATES MADE - Zelda Secrets and Oddities *ZCE: "Double Magic Power" and "The Dog and His Water Ski" by ChameleonLizard3
CURRENT NEWS - Well, technically, that's not all, but I'll let the other staff member handle that. Give me a break :P I'm the editor, the coder, and the uploader! Excuse me if there are days when only my staff will have updates for you and not me. I'm working on their stuff, too. So... their updates are sorta by both of us.
COMMENTARY - Ok, Max wants to talk about anime. I'm in Otaku-mode at the moment, might be because I want to prance off and go watch episode 80 of Naruto. So... I'll talk about that one! Now, the anime itself hasn't been licensed yet and isn't going to be seeing American shores any time soon, but the manga has made its appearance. It's an awesome story if you are into ninjas, kids, and supernatural-like powers. It's also got a lot of heart warming stuff. And it's just AWESOME! ... What's it about? A kid named Uzumaki Naruto (uhh... Naruto Uzumaki if the reversed his name in the manga). A bit of a mischevious loud kid who dreams of becoming the greatest ninja and take the place of fifth Hokage (head ninja leader) and make the village acknowledge his existance. He's an orphan and has sorta been treated badly, but at the end of the first story you'll find out why. ^_^ The story isn't only about Naruto, though. But I'll leave it there and rush off and go watch the next episode.
Naruto fans - yeah, ok, so my synopsis sucked. What did you expect for such a tiny section? *sigh*

April 25, 2004 | Slackers Will Rule The World!
UPDATES MADE - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker *Heart Piece Locations Added
CURRENT NEWS - Hehehehe, this was supposed to be up last week. Also, don't expect my Treasure Chart page for a while, it'll a long time in the making. So, I'll be filling the gap with more beta images.
COMMENTARY - MWAHAHAHAHAHA! THE SLACKER STRIKES AGAIN! WE SHALL RULE THE WORLD! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Really though, the lateness of this was a result of a competition-thing I had to go to, which I LOST! Stupid Girdler! Why must they always win? Girdler is one of those annoying schools that always wins everything and then screams loud enough to shatter the windows, as if they've never won before! Gah! I will crush them one of these days! And, on a totally unrelated subject, I'm starting to get real POed at Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Those stupid Vieras keep dodging bullets! I mean, what do they think this is, The Matrix?! Man! And no, I am not simply MISSING, I saw those bullet-dodgers very clearly move to the side, avoiding my projectile. In fact, they're starting to dodge everything! Gah! What is the world coming to? I mean, there are only like 10 guns in the whole game, but everyone still apparently knows enough about them to dodge them! Grrr... (goes off to blow something up)

April 25, 2004 | No Antics Tonight, Just A Note About The Site In Commentary
UPDATES MADE - The Zelda Poll *Updated ~ Meet the Staff of MCLoZ *Updated for Devilitchi ~ Zelda Secrets and Oddities *LA: "Link's Bazooka" by David ~ The Beta Zelda Files - Comments By Fans *MM: File 6 by Toni Added
CURRENT NEWS - Ok, I finally got around to updating that poor Poll, but it will probably get another update during the E3 event. Who knows. The current question is: Are you disappointed Navi's Trackers will not be released in the American version of Four Swords Adventures? ~ More importantly, please be sure to read Devilitchi's first post below which I'm saddly over-shadowing so soon. ^_^ WELCOME TO THE STAFF!! If in the future I say the name "Jazz" please know that I'm refering to him. ^_^ I've known him a loooong time through his AIM SN so... it's sorta stuck in my head.
COMMENTARY - Ok, this commentary will be focused on the Oddities. I just feel, especially after the number I did not include tonight, that I should remind everyone how the Oddities page works. If you supply me with an e-mail address I will e-mail you if your Oddity does not go up and why. If you don't supply one and it's not included in my next "Oddites Page" update (like tonight), then there was something wrong with it that I couldn't e-mail you about. What are the reasons I don't put an Oddity up: inaccurate information, information that is not rare enough to be an oddity, your grammar is so bad I can't understand you, there were swear words, or if it's replying to an oddity but the stuff has already been said. There might be other reasons, too, but those are just a few. ^_^ Oh, and a new reason was added tonight ... "If I need to check the information to be sure it's accurate, it will be delayed until I'm sure."
Note about editing Oddity: Normally I post your Oddity up "as is" with only minor grammar corrections. However, sometimes I will do any of the following: change the name of the Oddity, reword the Oddity to make it more understandable (I mark it "edited by MagicFox" if I do), add more (again I mark it), and add my own commentary at the end by putting "More by MagicFox". Your name and the general jist of what you are saying will always be put down on the page, but it is subject to change at my discretion because I just want to make sure everyone understands what you are getting at and are getting the full picture.
Whee, ok, I'm done for the night. Please remember to read Devilitchi's update which I feel so bad for pushing down so quickly. T-T

April 24, 2004 | New Staff Member - Devilitchi
UPDATES MADE - New Staff Member *Devilitchi Joins
CURRENT NEWS - Hello! I will be working on the Walkthroughs for the site starting with OoT. Prepare for constant walkthrough updates from yours truly!
COMMENTARY - Whew, now that all that formal stuff is out of the way I can tell you a little about myself! =) I have run a few websites in the past, and actually I have known Maxine since I ever got a computer. Animal Crossing fans might know me by the name of "jazzerb25", the webmaster of ACO. Anyways, thanks goes out to Maxine for allowing me to be a part of such a wonderfully run website and prepare to hear more from me soon!

April 22, 2004 | Max Is Back! How? You've Never Watched Excel Saga, Huh?
UPDATES MADE - Legend of Zelda Cartoons *Page Added
CURRENT NEWS - I got inspired enough early today to finish writing up this page. It's been sitting around on my hard drive even before I decided to put up that new section, I just never got around to finishing it. Odd since it's a small article. ^_^ Laziness knows no bounds, huh?
COMMENTARY - ^_^ Ok, sorry for that little interruption, folks. We will now return back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Maxine Alciard (chained and sitting in a corner with Amar and Kriss): Huh? She had a regular scheduled program?
Kriss: I thought she did all of this off the top of her head.
Amar: You're all a bunch of idiots.
MagicFox: Hrrrm, you have a point.. what to do for this update.
Amar: How about you explain how it is possible for a person as dumb as you to have created me. That should fill up some space.
MagicFox: I have a better idea... ::Attacks Amar and huggles him to death:: Kawaii!! Such a cute little story character I've got! I love my Amar!
Maxine: They're both scary...

April 21, 2004 | The Little Questors Return For Yet Another Update
UPDATES MADE - The Legend of Zelda *Official Artwork Added ~ The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures *Section edited from "Plus" to "Adventures"
CURRENT NEWS - [Little Questor Maxine Alciard] MagicFox has worked diligently to get a the next artwork gallery up for The Legend of Zelda. She also corrected much of the site to reflect the change from "Four Swords Plus" to "Four Swords Adventures".
COMMENTARY - ::Maxine, Amar at her side, smiles mischeviously::
Maxine: Please forgive this change of updates. Our creator will not be making an appearance today. We had to hack into her account and make this update for her.
::Amar, wearing an equally smug smile:: Amar: I wouldn't bother worrying about her whereabouts, either. Go back to your happy lives.
Kriss's voice off-stage: Hey! Woah! You were right, Amar, that spell really did lift that bloodstain out of the carpet. Oi! Maxine, you still have to fix that niche in the wall you made with your sword!
Maxine: Coming!! (Mutters to Amar) So your spell worked, huh?
Amar: Every time.
Maxine: ... You scare me.
::The two head off the stage::

April 20, 2004 | A Writer's Imagination Knows No Limits - But Maybe It Should
UPDATES MADE - Zelda Secrets and Oddities *MM: (#44) "Counter Jump" by Sean ~ Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 91-93 by franklin and Link Jr
CURRENT NEWS - Just the usual emptying out my mailbox... *cough* and trying to make up for lack of updates... ... I can't help it if I want to write instead of update...
COMMENTARY - ::A young girl with a braid of brunnet hair trailing down her back, steps out dressed in a white Zelda dress, a her head hung and her lips pursed in a scowl. Next follows a black haired boy wearing a green Link outfit, murderous intent shines in his eyes and his lips are curled in a sneer. A few moments pass::
Girl: Kriss! Come on! We gotta do this, so do you!
Voice in back: No way!
Boy: OUT HERE NOW!!
::A tiny sprite boy steps out, wearing a white dress, his wings fluttering, and his face red::
Kriss: This is SO wrong!
The three face the audience and say in chorus: We're the Little Questors, part of MagicFox's stories. And as a space filler we've been asked to cosplay as Zelda characters.
Girl [Maxine]: ::Throws up hands:: I'm not doing this anymore! ::Runs off::
Boy [Amar]: ::Trots after her:: When I find our missing creator, I'm going to kill her!!
::Kriss quickly speeds after them, hides behind Amar and rips off the dress::
*Cough* Yeah, ok, Maxine MagicFox was very uninspired since yesterday and has only been working on her story "Little Questors" ^_^ Please forgive me for my lapse. I'll get to work... Right now... I probably should fear my characters for a while. They aren't happy with me. Oh, and btw, Kriss was suppose to be Navi, in case you couldn't figure that one out.
Is it wrong to be so mean to your characters? MWHAHAHAHA
Oh, btw, I posted this in Zelda Elements forums (in which I'm one of the more frequent visitors). People like to ask me what do I look like IRL. I posted the pic there in a topic since I had just taken it for a friend of mine. I hate cameras so... only chance to know the girl behind the scenes. <_< I'll hate myself tomorrow for putting a link up to it. Maxine MagicFox. ^_^ A first look at the real me after working on MCLoZ for four years. Hello, everyone!!

April 17, 2004 | When In Doubt, Look Up Your Fave Anime And Quote It: "Hai!"
UPDATES MADE - New Affiliates *Zelda Net ~ Zelda Oddities and Secrets *OoT: (#67) "Impa Born in Her Own Town" by Johnny | MM: (#43) "Unmovable Block" by Frank ~ Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 89-90 by billy mitchell and jon allison ~ The Beta Zelda Files - Comments by Fans *MM File 6 by billy mitchell
CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ Please welcome new affiliate Zelda Net. Though they've had a rocky start, they show a lot of promise for the future and I hope they will continue to improve their wonderful site. Great job, guys!!
COMMENTARY - Uhh... please ignore the title bar. ^_^ That's what happens to Maxine when she's been working a few hours straight emptying her mail box and can't think of anything else to say. Oh, and there's a high possibility that Max is about to get a new Walkthrough Writer. *^_^* Max is HAPPY!! ::Skips off humming::

April 15, 2004 | I'm Such a Slacker...
UPDATES MADE - The Beta Zelda Files *The Wind Waker Files 6-10 added!
CURRENT NEWS - Whew! Just in the nick of time! For a while there, I thought those images wouldn't be up until Friday or later, which would be bad, since I will be going on a trip then, and won't be back till Sunday. Anyway, I am now working on a Piece of Heart guide for the Wind Waker, instead of slacking off and doing beta images instead, like this time.
COMMENTARY - Yes, I am a slacker. There, I admitted it, ya happy now now? ANYWAY, while I am a slacker, I am a slacker with a computer, so I was able to find an interesting fact on the internet. Some of you may know already, but for those of you who don't, here it is. Nintendo recently gave John Woo the rights to make a Metroid movie, and it looks like it may actually happen this time! It's scheduled to come out in 2006. And it had better not be like what E! was saying: that Metroid is more popular than Zelda (!?) and that Samus is like Lara Croft! (double !?) I REALLY hope Woo isn't as stupid as they are. And yes, I know this was too long. Myaah!

April 14, 2004 | Max Is Exhausted - Can I Have A Break? No? Big Meanie Head!!
UPDATES MADE - Main Stream Games *Added
CURRENT NEWS - Well, it's long, anyway. Meh, ok and slightly unrevised. I finished it and put it up with only a glimpse at it. I will go through and re-read it at another date and edit it. I thought you guys would be getting pretty impatient at me to make an update. I think it's pretty good though. Not extremely detailed but just enough to where I think most people might find it interesting. ^_^ Max is fairly proud of it.
COMMENTARY - >_< Ok! Who wants to say Max was not working now?! I'LL TAKE YOU!! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!! First there were the images - each took maybe 15 minutes at most. Except two very exceptional ones amoung them which I'm rather proud of and they are what took up the first day. The image for Adventure of Link and Link's Awakening. Don't bother going around the internet looking for them. You'll only find them in their full scenic images. I had to first cut them out of their pictures and then past them on a new white document and then - to edit out all the fringes. >_< I don't know how many times I accidentally erased that back part of the shield in the LA picture. It was fun, though. ^_^ I never do anything unless it's fun. Would I want to do them again? NO!! Then what was the next hardest part? Finding the original Japanese titles and then for some of them having to find the translations. ::Taps her foot:: I swear, I really do need to take up Japanese, I'd do really well! I already knew some words like: "ura" and "jikuu" which I translated myself. You'll see notes about them, as well. (I also knew "Daichi" and "Fuushigi" from songs - oh and of course "Tsurugi" and "no".) So, I went through a lot of trouble for that stupid page. Meh, you better appreciate it. *Sigh* Ok, I have Dethl'sShadow's update to get to work on putting together, so expect the next update from him. Oh, and that reminds me, HyperLink quit. T-T So, now I have NO Walkthrough Writers. ::Falls on her face:: Heeelllp. ... I think I need a hug ... and candy...

April 10, 2004 | MagicFox - Working Hard As Usual - But This Is It For Now
UPDATES MADE - The Beta Zelda Files *New Intro Images
CURRENT NEWS - Umm, no, there's no new files... yet, there might be. However, I have always felt that the introductory page looked extremely blab and I wanted a way to give it "something". So, I made tiny "enter" images on the page. I think they look rather cute. ^_^ Nothing special or high-tech, but it doesn't make the page look so empty anymore.
COMMENTARY - Meh, yeah, that's all for now. Actually, I'm working on one of those long articles for the crossed out links to the left. I told you those pages are gonna take a while to produce. Fortunately, this one isn't so bad, it's just the artwork I had planned for it that had me bogged down. So, the page will probably make an appearance sometime around Monday.

April 8, 2004 | MagicFox Back From Hiatus? Well... Not Quite But Soon
UPDATES MADE - New Affiliate *Desert Colossus ~ Zelda Secrets and Oddities *OoT: (#66) "Monsters Overlarge" by Josh | MM: (#41) "Epona in Clock Town" by Epona, (#42) "Zora Band Tunes" by Joseph ~ Link's Infinite List of Torture *Items 87-88 by Epona and mars
CURRENT NEWS - ^_^ Just trying to catch up by emptying out my mailbox. Please excuse my frequent absense. It's Spring Break so I don't have my usual times to get on and get stuff done. ~ Please welcome back Desert Colossus!! ^_^ And once again our affiliate. Help support them as they try to make a successful come back.
COMMENTARY - Ok, ok, Harvest Moon doesn't help either. Anyways, though, I wanted this room to rant about something else completely. XD In case you do not know, MagicFox happens to be an extreme fan of the Myst game series. And in case none of you have learned, Myst 4 has been announced!! ::Jumps up and down fanatically:: Myst Revelation!! YAHOO!!! And scheduled for a "possible" Fall release. I hope it's good, whatever happens. There have also been a few rumors more news will be released during E3. XD Gah! Max is REALLY going to enjoy this E3!!

April 4, 2004 | I'm Not Alone!
UPDATES MADE - The Beta Zelda Files *The Wind Waker Section Added
CURRENT NEWS - In case you're wondering, Zelda Chaos is a very worthy site with beta images, glitches and codes for three or four Zelda games. You should go there. Now. It's worth your time.^_^
COMMENTARY - YIPPPEEE!! I'm not the only person in the world who likes Harves Moon! ^_^ I can actually fill entire emails rambling on about it. What's that you say? HARVEST MOON IS DUMB!! WHY YOU! Why don't you try the game, and then when you end up locking yourself in your room and playing it for hours on end, you won't think it's stupid! Mwahaha! Really, though, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is a good game, and well worth you're money. So get it. Now!

April 4, 2004 | New Investigation
UPDATES MADE - Doh's Investigations *March 2004 Edition Added
CURRENT NEWS - Yup, my latest Investigation is now for all of you to read. March 2004 Edition is entitled, 'What NES games would be best suited for a GameCube update?' Here I have chosen 4 of the best NES games and looked into each one if they're suitable for a NES update and what would have to be changed if they were to be updated. Also Max has nicely added my picture onto the Meet the Staff page.
COMMENTARY - Yeah now...um...sorry for this one being a but late, but you know, busy with stuff and such not. Also I've been working on the next investigation (which will hopefully be my biggest), which will be looking into the Zelda Timeline, so look out for that one either in April or June (May will be an E3 Investigation).

April 1, 2004 | Nah, I Didn't Bother With An April Fool's Like In The Past...
UPDATES MADE - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past *Storytellers Added ~ Past Update Archives *March 2004 Added
CURRENT NEWS - Don't ask me what is with my sudden ambition to get LttP content up. ^_^ I always update things so spontaneously *sigh*. ~ Uhh... for those waiting for Zelda Oddities and stuff to placed up, be patient. I meant to do it today but... I had some problems which I'm not going to get into ^_^. Sorry, I got delayed *sigh* I will make them top priority tomorrow. ~ And last but not least, monthly tradition. Special thanks goes out to the following people who signed the Guestbook for March: don't got 1, LinkLover, and Aku Hanyou (<-- a friend of mine, I might add ;) ).
COMMENTARY - Meh, I'm no good with jokes and the ones I did in the past were so corny. *Sigh* Though, that one Sangokyu did last year REALLY got all of us going. *Sigh* I was expecting HyperLink at least to do something. I guess not. ::Shrugs:: Oh well. ::Skips off to go play Harvest Moon::
