This scene comes after you beat the forest temple and talk to Mido about Saria - these are the same words from the game.
I think it touched me because of the guilt Mido had for those 7 years. I also felt guilty about the way I've treated someone, but they left in a way that made it impossible to reach them, and whenever I was close to finding them again I was too late. So we were both stuck with a terrible feeling of guilt, unable to redeem ourselves, because we could never get those feelings across to the other person. In Mido's case, that person was Link.
I beat Zelda: OOT last week. The game was inspiring enough for a whole spoof comic series, but this particular scene remained unchanged even in that. I couldn't relate the first time I played, but now... D:
I touched on this in my Circle comics months before too.

Hehe, I think over 7 years passed between when I played this as a child and when I re-played it as an adult. (:
Link sort of just brushed by his brother Goron dude and that Zora that loved him without a second thought, I guess I did the same thing when I followed the story.
But now that I can connect to it, it's no wonder everyone was so psyched about it.

OOT is still in my opinion, the best Zelda game ever made. And it was the captive moments like this that made it special. Leaving the forest for the first time, the meeting with Zelda in the courtyard, your first actual encounter with Ganondorf. Theres too many memorable moments to list.
One part of this game that really did hit close to home was meeting Malon again once Link became an adult. Everything about her the situation seemed so disheveled. I actually told myself I wouldn't go near any other part of the game without helping her first.

Yes. :3 I couldn't have put it better myself. I really grew attached to the Kokori storyline, and it that makes me want to learn more about Majora's mask too since I skipped that.
Malon... her story was really touching too. (: And luckily for them, she seemed like the only girl he helped out that didn't end up turning into a sage, so they could still have a happy end together, even though he ends up going all the way to the past afterword. I'm still glad he was able to help her out and save the farm. (:
...Of course, I'm such a dimwit, I couldn't figure out how to help her until I went to Gerudo Valley. I knew you had to race Ingo, but you had to be on the horse when you talk to him to start it... that stopped me from helping her for weeks! D:

Majora's Mask is fun, I actually like it more than Ocarina of Time.
The 3-Day time limit concept was well done, many people can relate to the antagonist better than they could Ganondorf, and the story is a lot darker and deeper.
Be warned with the Gamecube version though, I hear it's quite buggy in comparison to the other games on the disc. A friend of mine who had it said the game froze at many inopportune moments, such as when he beat a really annoying boss or something.

Yes, game time.
Normally one hour is about one minute, but when you get your Ocarina back (fairly quickly) you can slow down time with a song that is never officially taught to you (and move ahead 6 hours with another).
You can go back in time to 6 AM on Day 1 with the Song of Time (same Song of Time learned in Ocarina), but you lose any ammunition and rupees you've had in your possession (you can store rupees at a bank to stop this from happening). Any major accomplishments, such as beating a boss or getting an upgraded sword goes back with you.
There's two ways of saving.
Stopping at an Owl statue will allow you to make temporary save. Once you start the game again, you cannot go back to the save again.
Playing the Song of Time to go back to Day 1 will save everything major you did within the previous 3 day cycle (though, like I said, ammunition and rupees get lost if you have any on you, and any dungeons revert back to their unaccomplished state).
As for the GCN not reading games very well, that's happened to me before, turns out the floor is not a good place to keep your Gamecube. Dust got into the ventilation system, causing discs to not be read at all for me. I was able to fix that problem myself, but Nintendo told me to absolutely not do what I did. :P

Wow, I completely forgot about this scene. I really need to go through this game again sometime.
I really like the colors and character shading and poses you did in this. It kind of reminds me of one of those touching pictures you find while playing through Resident Evil where, when you go to file it, you get to the prompt "There's something written on the image" followed by it writng out the whole moment in the next frame. Very touching.
I do hope you are able to find peace in your related moment, Oxnard. ;)

Hehe, I tried to watch it again in the YouTube walkthroughs of the game, but it's nothing you have to do, so no one has it recorded. There isn't a special cinema for it either, it's just like talking to any other character. But I'm glad I did.
I guess that same sort of feel comes with certain memories! Visually and emotionally? (:
I think I'm better about it these days, but I guess it'll take a while before I stop thinking on it like I do. I just hope it doesn't take seven years. :B

It's amazing the power a memory's moment can have on one's mind. Heck, I still can't talk to my one friend without remembering how much of a jerk I was to him in the first three years I knew him.
I, to this day, apologize to him at random intervals about it as my mind reminds me while we are just palling around together. However, he never seems to really care about it. If he does, he hides it and tells me I shouldn't think twice about the past. I guess he sees it more as what is instead of what was.
Perhaps, along this same premise, you can take comfort in knowing how much you have evolved as a person since everything went down those many years ago? After all, if I were to guess, the memory of what happened serves you, as mine does, as a reminder of how important empathy and control is. So, in the least, you can take pride in knowing that your current actions are more than making up for the events of the past.

Hehe, sounds like a familiar feeling. (:
Hmm... That sounds like a good way to think of it. I can't change what happened, but my feelings can still shift and develop. If nothing else, I've at least learned not to be as judgmental and close-minded, even if I can't change that complete either. Hopeful I'll realize I'm different enough now some day. (:

You've always come off as a swell guy, Oxnard. So, I have no doubt you have come a long way since that faithful occassion. Heck, the simple fact you can talk to so many different people, like myself, who have such vast interests and tastes with and open and thoughtful mind is quite impressive.
On the other hand, I do know how there is a big difference between RL and OL, too. Take heart in knowing that, just as I did, you will come across someone who will make you realize just how far you've come as a person and just how special the things you do are. There's no quicker path to redemption nor attonement than the validation of someone close to let you know you are a better person than you may ever personally believe.
