A Network of Christian Fellowship for Comics Fans, Pros, and Amateurs
You know, pretty much, my favorite game to play is zelda. Its start of course within my childhood watching my bro, beating up all those scary redeads in Ocarina of time and. I was soo scared of those re-deads that I did not want to play that at all. Sometime I would play some roms on a really really old computer (the ones with a command prompt in it). I enjoyed it alot, obviously, but I remeber I can't defeat the ending. Years later, because my bro sold the N64 and the old computer was gone. I didn't have the chance to play 3D zelda anymore.
Some years ago, During summer time and way before the wii came out, I had to download it off the internet. I don't endorse it as much now, because Im much knowledgeble about piracy, but I did it. Oddly, I play Majora's mask first and I loved it. I love the themes of zelda. When next summer came around, I played Ocarnia of time. Bam, I was into the fandom. The sweet sernity of the composed music, the story and the though of the hero just took my breath away. And soon after Twilight princess came, I got it and yeat I beat it. My bro even ask me for help since I beat it first. Now Im waiting on Skyward sword, which I did manage to play the demo at comic con
So yea, to summe up, I love zelda. And so, one day I was curious enough to look at the zeldapedia articles. I just browse along, looking at pictures, clicking on the pictures to articles. Then suddenly I browse down and there was a pecular wording. Christian? It can't be. The only religions I remeber about zelda is the creation of hyrule which were the three goddess in Ocarnia of time. So then I swiftly click the article.
There it was. Zelda did have some implications of chrsitian before the ledgend of the three goddess were created. Its vague, but they had official artwork, and everything in the first of the series. What caught me is why it change? Of course, the guidelines for american Censorship, especially Nitendo of America.

I don't know about you, but I think I have a bit more appreciation about Zelda now after reading this. Ive kind of always wanted a good game, and Zelda is pretty inspirational source for us group of artists maybe. And that Im tired of american's censorship on religion.

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011
In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.
Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”
