A Wizard of Earthsea

Just a quick thought about the book. You know what it reminds me of? This.


Or, rather, this game reminds me of Earthsea, as the book came out some 40 years before the game. Oh, Shigero Miyamoto, you tricksy little plagiarist!

  1. It's like you read my mind. Granted I'm only through the first chapter, but that's the exact feeling I go from the book too.

  2. I third that. I have been feeling the same way, especially with the whole wind and steering thing. I wish you could have used the wind spells and steering spells in the game. Or maybe you could, I just don't remember it that well.

    A world of little islands where there are really no big cities is an interesting one. The culture is much more different when people mostly travel by boats, even to visit their neighbors, and are not afraid of the sea, even at young ages.
