I have a copy of that. I don't really know why.

I think it was made by Vanpool...? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

the story is that 35 year old Tingle challenges the "Balloon Fighting Spirit" of the bosom oak.


Ok.

It's a shame that IGN have such a hate-on for Tingle. He's a hilarious character! Is he in The Phantom Hourglass?

You guys! You're totally not doing haikus!

Also, I'll throw out a tip for mine: pink hair.

matt, if you're referring to the five-seven-five syllables thing, that's a construction that's largely meaningless if you're not writing haiku in japanese, and one of my PET PEEVES is when people insist that that's what makes haiku in english!

even i'm not stupid enough to write a guessing game haiku about a game that's being talked about in a different thread.

Haiku defined by;

Webster.com: :

an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively

dictionary.com:

1. a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or one of the seasons.
2. a poem written in this form.

Wikipedia:

While English verse is typically characterized by meter, which counts "beats", Japanese verse instead typically counts sound units (morae), known in Japanese as "on". The word on is often translated loosely (and somewhat inaccurately) as "syllables", but there are subtle differences between an "on" and a "syllable". The traditional haiku consisted of a pattern of 5, 7, and 5 on.

The Japanese word on, literally "sound", corresponds to a mora, a phonetic unit similar but not identical to the syllable of languages such as English. (The word onji (音字; "sound symbol") is sometimes used in referring to the Japanese syllable units in English[2] although this word is archaic and no longer current in Japanese.[3]) In Japanese, the on corresponds very closely to the kana character count (closely enough that Moji (or "character symbol") is also sometimes used[3] as the count unit). One on is counted for a short syllable, an additional one for an elongated vowel or a doubled consonant (i.e., a glottal stop), and one for an added "n" at the end of a syllable. Thus, the word "sign", though one syllable in English, would be counted as three sounds if said in Japanese (sa-i-n).

Because most Japanese words are polysyllabic, with very short sounds (like the syllables in the three-syllable English word "radio", but unlike the one-syllable words "thought" or "stressed"), the seventeen sounds of a Japanese haiku carry less information than would seventeen syllables. Consequently, writing seventeen syllables in English typically produces a poem that is significantly "longer" than a traditional Japanese haiku. As a result, the great majority of literary haiku writers in English write their poems using about ten to fourteen syllables, with no formal pattern.

~~~~~~~~~

In conclusion: sorry for being old fashion, but if you're not writing it in Japanese anyways then why not say "Hey, let's just make a bunch of silly 3 line poems!" because without structure and rules there's no point in doing it. The point is to get across a lot of information using a restricted pallet of syllables. Could I have used more I would be writing things differently as well. With restrictions and rules in which to place these sounds and patterns we come up with far more interesting results. Otherwise it spirals out into silliness and derailment.
