Wish Gone Awry. Enter Equestria! Enter New Life!

"Alright, remember, while this is an action/adventure game, it has a fair bit of puzzle solving. You can't brute force everything," Julius cautions as he starts up Ocarina of Time.

"Well, that's why Twilight's here," Rainbow Dash teased as the opening cinematic started.

"I like the music," Twilight smiled as she and the ponies saw Link riding by on Epona. "Ohhh, who are they?"

"The human is Link, who you play as, and the mare is Epona. You get Epona later in the game, where she proves she's the best horse and has the best cinematics," Julius told Twilight.

"Wait, I thought you said that you had a horse named Epona?" Fluttershy asked as she vaguely remembered something.

"Well, kind of. I don't own her; I just named her and cared for her when I was with the Amish. And yes, this is where her name came from," Julius confirmed as Rainbow Dash started the game. After making a new file and waiting through the opening, Rainbow Dash began to move around.

"OK, so, what do we do?" Rainbow Dash asked as she explored the village.

"Well, the twerp by the log will tell you to get a sword and a shield. The shield costs forty rupees; the sword is poorly hidden. Just look at the map, and you should be able to find it," Julius said as Twilight narrowed her eyes on the map.

"There, it's there in that weird triangle place, isn't it?" Twilight asked as she pointed to the map.

"Maybe, go there and find out," Julius coyly said.

"Yeah, it's definitely there," Rainbow Dash smiled as she rushed to the area. Crawling through the small wooden pipe thing, Rainbow Dash looked around, only to see a giant boulder rolling around. "I'm guessing I don't want to be touched by that," she nervously laughed as she followed the boulder. Coming to the giant chest, Rainbow Dash walked up to it smiling. "Oh, treasure! I wonder what it will be?" She teased as she opened the chest. "Nice!" Rainbow Dash happily said as she got the Kokiri Sword and gave it a few swings.

"Yup, and now you can get rupees faster. Just cut grass, and you'll get the forty eventually. This game has a weird bit of grinding early," Julius sighed as Rainbow Dash began to collect rupees. After getting the rupees and buying the shield, Rainbow went to Mido.

"Get out of my way," Rainbow Dash commanded as she passed Mido. Rushing down the path, Rainbow got hit and knocked back by a Deku Baba.

"Huh, I could have sworn those were confined to the southern part of the Everfree Forest. Though, I suppose that probably isn't the same forest," Celestia hummed as Rainbow slashed at the plant.

"Wait, what?" Julius asked as he quickly turned to Celestia.

"Voreus Trepidants, a plant that has been known to grow in the southernmost parts of the Everfree Forest. It looks almost the exact same as that. Only, it has what looks like a small fruit in its mouth to lure prey into its mouth. The guard in the area has standing orders to keep the plants confined to the Everfree. Expeditions to end the plants entirely haven't worked; that part of the Everfree is especially dangerous, and the magic in the plants makes them grow back too quickly," Celestia explained.

"Of course, there'd be plants like that here; why wouldn't there be? I'll make sure to avoid them," Julius sighed.

"That'd be smart; they have been known to spit a weak acid and seeds," Celestia told him.

"Oh, that's great, a Zelda/Pokemon crossover. A crossover I didn't need to be real. Trust me, I have no intentions of getting hit by acid or bullet seed; those look painful," Julius told Celestia as Rainbow Dash entered the Great Deku Tree.

"Oh, this takes place in a tree? I have a feeling that I'll like this," Twilight happily said as Rainbow Dash looked around.

"Well, it's cursed and is figuratively and literally crawling with enemies," Julius told Twilight as Rainbow Dash explored the room.

"Is that a skull spider?" Rainbow Dash asked as she looked at a vine-covered wall.

"Oh, Deathmark Spiders, I haven't seen those in, well, I'm not sure how long. When did we clear out the Darkfall Caverns of necromancers?" Luna asked as she turned to Celestia.

"Oh, umm, I think that was about one thousand seven hundred some odd years ago. Be careful; they're venomous, aggressive, and they spin extremely strong webs," Celestia cautioned Rainbow Dash.

"OK, what's with the wildlife of this world?" Julius asked before looking back to the game. "Don't worry; these spider wannabes aren't any of those things. They just try to headbutt you if you climb up the vines."

"Magic has affected the wildlife in many weird ways. We can't complain, though; we've benefitted from it quite a lot," Celestia responded.

"Fair, I guess, but still," Julius sighed as Rainbow Dash continued to explore.

"Hey, I found another big chest," Rainbow Dash happily smiled.

"Wait, be careful! That platform," Twilight started to say as Rainbow Dash rushed in, "doesn't look stable," she finished as she facehoofed.

"Hah, that's OK, there's a way out. That platform falling is only a problem in randomizers," Julius assured as Rainbow Dash opened the chest.

"Hey, I got another thing!" Rainbow Dash happily said as she got the slingshot. "What do I do with it?"

"Hmmm, well, Julius said that the platform falling wasn't a problem. So, I'm guessing that it's used to escape the room somehow," Twilight commented as Rainbow Dash looked around the room. "There, that ladder, maybe you can use that slingshot to shoot it down," she suggested.

"On it," Rainbow Dash responded as she took aim and shot down the ladder. "Nice, it worked!" Rainbow Dash happily said as she left the room. "Maybe I can use it to shoot down those spiders," she commented as she returned to the vines. Taking aim, Rainbow Dash shot down the spiders. "Hah, try headbutting me now!" She taunted.

"Hold that thought," Julius chuckled as Rainbow Dash climbed all the way up. Rushing over to one of the open spots, Rainbow Dash gets hit and knocked back by a giant spider.

"What the? Why are there giant spiders?" Rainbow Dash asked as she swung at the giant spider, only for every slash to ding off and for the giant spider to spin, damaging her again.

"Maybe their weak spot is their underside. It looked pretty soft," Twilight commented as Rainbow Dash looked at her.

"Yeah, OK, but how do I get to its underside?" Rainbow Dash asked as the giant spider spun around to reveal its underside. "Oh," she lightly laughed before taking down the spider.

"Good job," Twilight congratulated. "Now, I think if you jump down and land on that web, you'll be able to break it," she speculated as Rainbow Dash looked down at the web.

"Yeah, yeah, in a minute. I want to explore up here a bit," Rainbow Dash told Twilight.

"OK, just be careful. I think you can only get hit once more," Twilight cautioned as Rainbow Dash explored the uppermost floor.

"Don't worry; I'll be careful," Rainbow Dash said as she explored. Collecting the compass, Rainbow Dash saw a golden spider. "Why does this one look different?"

"Oh, it's for a side quest. You need to collect a bunch of tokens from them to break a curse. Good luck getting all one hundred," Julius laughed as Rainbow Dash got the first token.

"Oh, that sounds fun," Rainbow Dash sighed as she rolled her eyes. Returning to the main room, Rainbow Dash walked to the edge and looked down at the web. "So, you're sure that jumping down will break the web?"

"I think it will. Right now, that's all I got," Twilight told Rainbow Dash before turning to Julius.

"Hey, I know the answer, but I'm trying not to backstreet game too much," Julius said before catching himself. "Backseat, I mean backseat."

"Too late, you backstreet gamer, you. I know that you game it that way!" Pinkie Pie teased as she winked.

"Yeah, yeah, I deserved that," Julius sighed with resignation as Rainbow Dash jumped down and broke the web.

"Good, that worked," Rainbow Dash sighed as she fell into a pool of water.

"Well yeah, of course, it worked. Though, I would have preferred to use magic. Maybe a firebolt or a flaming barrier, or even maybe teleportation. But I don't think this game lets you do those," Twilight sighed.

"Twilight, you shouldn't use magic when a non-magically way is possible and realistic. That aside, I think if we just stamped on the web hard enough, our hooves would break it," Celestia told Twilight.

"Yeah, you're probably right, though humans don't have hooves. Frankly, we kinda suck at striking; we're far better at grappling and throwing. Opposable thumbs are so nice," Julius smiled.

"I can tell," Twilight giggled as Rainbow Dash burned away some webs. Watching Rainbow Dash beat a Deku Shrub, Twilight watched carefully. "Two, three, one, OK, I got it," Twilight said with a nod as Rainbow Dash nodded back.

"Alright, Twi, I'm going on ahead then," Rainbow Dash confidently said as she continued through the dungeon. Making her way through the dungeon, Rainbow Dash looked oddly at one of the rooms. "What the hay? I can't get in there. How do I get in there?" She asked as she looked at Julius.

"Do you really want me to tell you?" Julius asked before Rainbow Dash pointed at him.

"Yes, how do I get in that room," Rainbow Dash demanded to know before booping Julius.

"I woke up this morning, and now I'm getting booped by a mare. I was not prepared for the day," Julius joked. "Alright, to get into that room, you need bombs, oh, but you'll also want the boomerang before entering that room. Good old trusty boomerang, it always comes back," he said with a smile.

"Alright, so come back later, got it," Rainbow Dash said with a nod. Working together, Rainbow Dash and Twilight got down to the lowest level.

"Alright, Rainbow Dash, I think here you need to hit the middle one, then the right one, our left, then the last one," Twilight suggested.

"Got it," Rainbow Dash confirmed with a nod. Knocking back the seeds, Rainbow Dash hit the shrubs in the correct order. "Awww yeah, it's boss time!" Rainbow Dash happily said as she entered the boss room. "What do you think it is?" She asked as she looked at Twilight.

"Well, judging from what we've encountered, either an even bigger skull spider or the mother of those larvae we encountered in that other room," Twilight hummed as Rainbow Dash walked around the dark room.

"Well, we'll soon see. I think it's a spider; something is making the same sound as them," Rainbow Dash said as she walked around. "Alright, you big skully spider, show yourself!" She commanded as she looked up at the ceiling. As Rainbow Dash looked up, a gigantic monster fell from the ceiling right in front of her, making her and most of the ponies jump back.

"That big enough for you?" Julius laughed.

"Oh, a Kubwa Mama Buibui Ya Kukumbatia Giza Ya Chuki," Zecora calmly said. "I know they can look quite spooky. Rest assured, they are mostly harmless to those that pass by. It's only if you mess with their children that you'll die."

"Oh, come on!" Julius huffed. "You're really telling me that Queen Gohma is real in this world? Tell me where so I can avoid that place like the plague," he huffed as Rainbow Dash tried attacking Queen Gohma.

"The deeper caves of Zebrica are where you can find them. Deep in the caves, usually nested on a giant gem. While they are hostile, you have no need to fret. They keep to themselves, so only if you bother them will you experience regret," Zecora told Julius, as Rainbow Dash kept trying and failing to damage Queen Gohma.

"Alright, so avoid caves in Zebrica, got it. Also, Rainbow Dash, try Z-Targeting the Queen and hitting the yellow up arrow; that might help a bit," Julius suggested.

"I don't need help," Rainbow Dash huffed before remembering Twilight. "Well, I don't need help outside of my friends," she lightly laughed.

"Hmmm, maybe; I think I have an idea," Twilight hummed. "When it climbs on the ceiling, try shooting its eye when it turns red," she suggested.

"Good idea Twi," Rainbow Dash smiled as she tried Twilight's idea. Shooting at Gohma's eye, the queen fell to the ground. "Nice, it worked!" Rainbow Dash happily said as she started to slash at the queen. "And I can damage her now!" She happily said as Gohma got back up and recoiled away. "Too late; I know how to beat you now!"

"There is another way. If you're quick, you can get her with a Deku Nut and stun her for a bit longer. No harm in telling you now; next time will be the last," Julius told Rainbow Dash as she nailed Gohma with another shot.

"Well, that would have been good to know," Rainbow Dash huffed as she finished off Gohma. "Oh, a heart and light. I'm guessing get the heart first, then the light?" She asked, to which Julius nodded. Getting the heart, Rainbow Dash saw her health increase. "Nice, more health, that'll be useful," she smiled as she entered the light, getting teleported to just outside the tree.

"Oh, so teleportation is in the game. Why can't we have it?" Twilight huffed as Julius looked away.

"No talk time; it's story time," Julius quickly said as the Great Deku Tree told his story before passing away.

"Wait, I thought we broke the curse. What the hay?" Rainbow Dash protested.

"You did. Don't worry; the tree has a plan for this. But how about we switch to a different game? I'm thinking of something for Applejack and Fluttershy. Maybe Banjo-Kazooie, it's the one with a bear and a bird on it," Julius suggested.

"Oh, I like both those animals," Fluttershy warmly smiled.

"What the hay, I'm up for trying it," Applejack said with a nod.

"Great, just save the game, and I'll switch them out," Julius said as Rainbow Dash saved the game so he could switch them.
