First, welcome aboard to both of you! Can't wait to see whatever kinds of projects you decide to work on!

Second, I'm noticing a somewhat large amount of Zelda fans here on the forums and I just thought that was funny and wanted to point it out. Maybe it's something to do with both franchises having a courageous main character that wears green? Who knows!
