I followed your advice and played Gravity Bone before listening to the rest of the podcast. I loved the music and animation, but is there anything you can do to stop the woman from shooting you? Is that the end of the game?

Favorite song of the Zelda series:
Two actually,
Song of Storms from OoT (or the windmill song)
Midna's Lament from TP

That's the end. The whole game is set-up to get you to expect there is more to the story. The game is counter to what many expect from their games: a long game and not leaving many basic questions about the story open. It's a gimmick, sure. But, it's nice to have a surprise now and again, right? That's why we recommended it. Oh and the music.

A couple of people did try to hit her with the hammer before she steals the film.

My favorite would be Midna's Lament. Whereas the older songs are mostly upbeat and catchy, this one is soothing and melancholy. Also, the part of Twilight Princess in which this song plays is one of my favorite video game experiences of all time.

Make sure and listen to it forward (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkNudeNYnCM&feature=related) and backward (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl_YcaGnVZw&feature=related) and remixed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwwq6ua7kEk&feature=related)
