Shining Force and Legend of Zelda Updates

I have been working heavily on Shining Force, and I broke down and used codes. Using the knowledge on GameFAQs, I went and have acquired every character. I am now on the last several fights.
Zelda, I used GameFAQs as well and while my hands started to hurt trying out a few of the mini-games, I got 25 mail letters sorted. It appears that to really complete the game, one needs to get a gameboy advance and use Tingle Tuner, and I already lost at trying to get a complete game and a beaten game at the same time, because I missed out on the first few pictographs I could have gotten from enemies and catching a picture of... well... I won't spoil it for those who haven't played the game the whole way through. I have gotten many powerups, killed a few of the giant squids. I hear of a twelve eyed squid. That will be a challenge. I tried the 500 hit challenge with Orca for a piece of heart but I got to 400 and messed up. I tried it again but after I failed again, my hands started to hurt.
I would like to get a gameboy advance again in order to get everything on Windwaker, but since Backloggery is not functional there's no real reason.

Master Sword

Yeah, I got that.

Windwaker Progress

I just got the Nayru's Pearl and my wallet increased to the third size last night. I have been doing some treaure hunting at Sea when coming across the spots. I got the bombs so I got the cannon, which is fun. Now I gotta' go put the pearls in place around the sea. Gotta' love it.

Gamecube Re-buy and Old Systems

I got a Gamecube system again and got The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker. Such a brilliant game and my friend Dan agrees. I will have to get a link to his gaming blog. I will be able to play Starfox Adventures again since I have the save on my memory card. Drumble is a bit under the weather so http://www.backloggery.com is going to be down in registration for a while.

I have also picked up Shining Force for Sega Genesis and am trying to play it without the Game Genie this time.
