Dream Logic is AWESOME

That is some inception stuff right there. Interesting read. As a young boy, i used to read this book series called "Goosebumps". Now as an adult i don't really like horror genre as it focuses more on gore and shock scares. The cool thing about about Goosebumps most of the time was that it is the slow psychological build up into the uncanny situation. The ending also had a surprise, that the reader most of the time didn't see coming.

Where i am going with this. Well not far, the books that ended up being all a dream were somehow the most disappointing. So, i guess it works sometimes and not others.

Seems like that book series is just hit and miss, then, plot-wise. Video games offer a potentially different take on horror and the dream trope. The Legend of Zelda as a whole can be interpreted through a relative of dream logic: legend logic. We may just be playing an embellished version of Link's deeds, assuming they happened in some form sometime in Hyrulean history.
