Description "Like for real dude!"

This is just a quick doodle, nothing fancy. When I was but a wee little boy I used to think the original Like-likes were some kind of triple stacked pancakes smeared with strawberry jello. When they ate you I figured they were flattening you between their 'layers'.

Also I thought the waters and lava in dungeons were walls...I mean you need a ladder...you figured he would go UP with them not use it as a bridge right?

Young kids and their imagination.

Have you ever seen that book in the library of Minish Cap titled How to Like Your Like-like A Good Guide to a Bad Pet?

Sadly Minnish cap is one of the only Zeldas I still haven't played and the one I want to play the most.

they just released it for 3DS and barring that there's an emulator and a rom, it's a truly amazing game

Aahah, for me it was a kind of sandwitch... hamburger? You were the filling when they ate you.
Hehe.
Nice thought with the water too, sure that was stupid you needed a ladder to cross.

I swear one day (not even that long ago) I was playing it again and I was like "Oooooooooh!...it is WATER!" OTL

Such an ironic name considering that in every game that I've seen them, I've hated them. Good job though.

Retro-Death In reply to cvcharger14 [2012-09-04 11:56:01 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean, they truly do strike fear in your very core. Especially the first ones because they were hard to avoid and pretty fast.

cvcharger14 In reply to Retro-Death [2012-09-05 02:51:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, especially when you had to avoid those other creatures at the same time.

Thankyou!!
So anyway, I've always thought of the likelike as a drippy triple decker pizza and made me think of "pizza the hut" from spaceballs.

Retro-Death In reply to likelikes [2012-09-04 12:44:37 +0000 UTC]

I saw that you mentionned that on your own artwork. I guess the thing that does it most is the colour sprites they used plus the fact that the layers move in such a weird chewing kinda way like it's a big mouth or something.

lol, I always thought they looked like coiled up snakes. Then again, the first Zelda game I played was Oracle of Ages, so the graphics were slightly more advanced than in the original games.

That is one of the only ones with Minnish cap I still do not own but really REALLY want to have.

super-toria12 In reply to Retro-Death [2012-09-04 22:51:12 +0000 UTC]

Minish Cap was the first one I ever bought for myself. My cousin gave me Oracle of Ages because he didn't play Gameboy games as much as Gamecube ones. I can't seem to beat the final boss in Minish Cap, and yet I was able to beat Oracle of Ages, a much more difficult game. I'm sure you'll be able to find Minish Cap easily at a used games store. Oracle of Ages might be a little harder to find.

Yeah plus the problem is that I want them complete in box with the manual.

Now that might be a little harder to find. Good luck though!

I used to think the same thing, they looked so much like food!

Whenever I play the game I STILL think they look like pancakes. XD

mewichigo4 In reply to Retro-Death [2012-09-04 02:16:26 +0000 UTC]

Me too, except in spirit tracks, they don't look so much like pancakes in that one.
