Read this comic backwards, and you'll see Link finding a pair of shiny boots that fell from the sky, and happily putting them in his toy chest.

Read it with blue sunglasses, and you'll see Link finding a pair of shiny boots in sunken treasure, but the boots are more buoyant than he is so they float to the surface.

If you read it upside down you'll see Link finding a shiny pair of boots in a chest that's stuck on the ceiling, then forgetting that gravity works

Soren is the character who taught me that you can't revive Fire Emblem characters. Of course, I was taught the hard way.

Ever since then, I keep everyone alive. If someone dies, I immediately reset. On my second playthrough of PoR, I did find out how awesome Soren was and what I was missing in my first run

If you haven't played Radiant Dawn twice, do so, and keep Soren and the prince both alive, also do the support with Ike in PoR. He gets INFINITELY more awesome.

Soren is a branded, but not just any branded, he is half black dragon (form his mother Almheda), meaning he is Ashnard's lost son, making him the rightful heir to the throne of Daein

I've played Radiant Dawn once. If I replay it, is there something I should keep an eye out for while keeping them both alive?

Just refuse to kill him when he asks you to do it to break the blood pact (on the first playthrough Touroneo just steps in and does it for you, but on subsequent runs you can keep him alive to use dark magic) Also, I don't believe that having Pelleas attack Izuka in the swamp chapter is necessary, but it also throws in some cool plot points

I never had to learn that lesson the hard way. My first FE game was Sacred Stones. I picked up my brother's saved game because he was stuck on a chapter, so I tried to help. He had lost over HALF of the characters he had, and the rest were about level 4... on chapter 14... Needless to say after I reset the file, I never let anyone so much as get below half health.

I liked the one more than the second one. Ever send Naesala up to the king of Daein in the last chapter? He tries "jumping ships" and the king points out that he's only trying to look for flaws in his armor, when Neasala goes, "um oh, Look over there! No? Nothing? Didn't think that would work uumm." XD

I never chose Naesala for the final chapter of PoR, but taking him into the final 5 chapters of Radiant Dawn reveals a lot about his character which is very cool. As for the sequel, I really liked the plot on the whole, there were a lot of cool twists, and forcing you to split into 3 armies, thus making you take more of your units seriously was nice, but they ruined the support conversations (one of the highlights of the series for me) which was a horrible mistake

I don't have a clever joke at the moment, I just want to say: I liked those boots. I did everything with the hover boots after I got them, unless it called for the iron boots.

Yes, I even defeated Ganon while gliding around like a ballet dancer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Everyone who's seen me play asks why I wear the hover boots around everywhere. They never really hindered my gameplay at all. Maybe we're just way better than everyone else at handling the mechanics in Ocarina of Time. :P
