In this one-time discussion-based class, students are invited to share their favorite misadventures from the Legend of Zelda series. We all make mistakes, but Link can find himself in some precarious situations. In this discussion-based course students will explore some of the scenarios they can find themselves in the various legend of Zelda games. This class' motto will be: the wilder, the funnier, the more outlandish, the better! Students will come together to collectively embrace how you learn from messing up and reflect on how life, like Hyrule, has many misadventures. Students are encouraged to try to get each other to laugh as the group reflects on some of the wilder adventures they have had in Hyrule. Some of these scenarios students will be asked to discuss are: 1) How many pots have you smashed? 2) What was the highest cliff that you fell off of? 3) What was your most epic battle? 4) How did you learn not to attack cuccos? And Other Fun Discussion topics.

Other Details
