Hello...you have reached the offices of [....]

Hey there everyone, this is Alexander from Zelda Dungeon, also known as Aroku over at Zelda Universe. I also am Alexander from Ordon Village.

General Rambling/Introduction
Just to give a basic background on who I am, I'm currently 16 years old and I reside in Boston, MA. I am currently going into my junior year of High School, after which I plan to study for a degree in music or English and go one to teach either one of those.

From humbling beginnings....
The first game in the Legend of Zelda series I had played was Ocarina of Time, and it still holds a special place in my heart, if you will, to this day. I remember being a young lad, only about 6, 7, or 8, and my brother had rented a Nintendo 64 and Ocarina of Time. At first, I showed little interest but then as I played the game more and more, I came to enjoy it. I still remember being scared of Ganondorf and running out of the room....those were the days I suppose.

...To a developed fanboy
Soon after having rented a Nintendo 64 and playing Ocarina of Time, my parents had bought myself and my two other brothers a Nintendo 64 along with OoT and Majora's Mask. I didn't care much for Majora's Mask, but I loved Ocarina of Time although I had never finished it (only recently have I beaten the game).

Soon thereafter I had gotten a GameCube and enjoyed Wind Waker quite a bit, that being one of my favorite Zelda Games, if not my favorite of all.

Engaging in the Internetz
I soon got very involved in computers, as my family was quite adept at fixing, building, and let alone operating a computer so it was only natrual that the family "skill" would be based onto the younger of us three brothers: Me. I had no real interest in Zelda websites, let alone any websites for a while. I had made a few friends on a video game forum and went on to play a few 2d Online Games.

Zelda Universe: My first "Cyber Home"
I guess ZU has always held a special place in my heart, as that was my first Legend of Zelda fansite...let alone any other website that I had felt welcomed and accepted on. Of course, as a young kid my grammar, spelling, etc. had lacked quite a bit of work and as such you can see a bit of "Noobishness" in my posts that stil are on my account.

I left ZU for a while after I had joined the Nayru Clan as I had been stricken with bordem and ventured off of the internet for at least a year. When I re-emerged I began visiting new Zelda sites as well as still remaining active on ZU.

Zelda Legacy
Zelda Legacy as the second LoZ fansite I had joined, and I felt quite welcomed there. I was asked to join by two people named Swiftblade and Karashimu whom I had been good friends with from Zelda Genesis. This is also where I got my start as Webmaster, thanks to the kindness of Killswitch.

Setting out on my own
As mentioned above, with the help of Killswitch I was able to launch my first Legend of Zelda fansite: Ancient Hyrule. I had gotten help from several other webmasters too in making this site. It turned out to be pretty popular for a free hosted site with just a subdomain routed to Zelda Legacy. From there, I would move on to run one more Zelda site that would be notable: Hyrule Temple.

Hyrule Temple was not as succesful as the initial site of Ancient Hyrule, but I liked the outcome of it nonetheless. The forums were the only active part of this site, much to my disappointment.

From there, I am where I am now: Roaming around, visiting random Legend of Zelda fansites doing whatever. I may relaunch a Legend of Zelda website in the future, but I am not very sure just yet...we shall see what the future holds.

Ordon Village
Not much to say, except I am the current Webmaster of the Legend of Zelda fansite named Ordon Village alongside Axle the Beast and Swiftblade.

Ending my life story on ZeldaWiki
Not much that needs to be said other than what has been said. If you would like to talk to me, you can ask me for my MSN on Zelda Universe (as I am there as Aroku) or on Zelda Dungeon as Alexander. You can also try to catch me on AIM (OV Kyin) even though I don't log on too often.
