Questions from Discord:
RaxonXVI: Similar to last week, which is the best version of Princess Zelda, and who's the best girl in the series that's not Zelda? For Zelda herself, I'm torn between Skyward Sword's and the Wild versions. And best non-Zelda girl is Purah; I loves her.
RaxonXVI: Are there any games that you wanted so much only for them to get canned? For me, it's Alice Asylum; I wanted that game so badly.
