The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy: I Link Therefore I Am by Luke Cuddy
3.0
3,5 stars for this book. I really enjoyed reading it as I am a huge Zelda fan (thanks again to Ja Ne for this awesome Christmas gift ;-)) but some of the articles weren't to my liking (it's really a thing of personal preference here).
Unfortunately, some of the argumentations in this book went of in a promising way but started to limp and feel superficial. I know, it's a book on a popular game. Nevertheless, I think the arguments should be presented in a logical way that draws the reader into the mindframe of the authors. Also, there were some points in this book where I doubted my knowledge of the Zelda series. I am not quite sure whether I am ill informed or don't remember the specifics of the game's story anymore, so I won't make any claims in that direction.
Over all I can say that I will definitly re-read some of the articles as they really got me thinking. So for all of you Zelda enthusiast out there: Get the book and start to take a look at the games you love from a completely different perspective!
