This game has been one of the important parts of my life for nearly all of it. The first time I played this game was around 2008, I was about 5 years old. At that young of an age, you really only think about media such as that at face value, nothing more than simple entertainment. I began to play the game more throughout my life, picking up the 3DS remaster when I was 8. Loved it as much as the first time. Come 2022, I decide to do a full replay of the game, considering it had been a long time since I had completed it. This was the time I realized how important this game was. Being nearly 20 years old, this game holds many core memories for me, memories of being a child in a time where you are unaware of the negative aspects of life, enjoying the fun as it comes. I realized not only how much the game means to me, but how much it comforted me. This game feels like it has grown up with me, being a part of my life for so long, given me solace. I cannot state how thankful I am for this game's existence, I only hope that many children will get to experience this game in the same way that I did growing up. Thank you. 🤍
