It looks like the theatre he performed in had a proscenium-stage, so there was no need to press the knife against his throat; several inches of space between it and his neck would have completed the illusion, especially for as big of a space as its auditorium is. It's nice that he trusted his crew and props enough to further sell the action, but it was unnecessary and proved costly in this situation.

FROM THE USER THAT BROUGHT YOU T E A M C H O C O L A T E COMES A NEW RALLY TO SUPPORT The following rally may contain LoZ-spoilers not suitable for all ages
LoZ:OoT3D's intro - LoZ:TP - LoZ:MM - LoZ:OoT -
For those of you familiar with Epona, there isn't much that needs to be said. For those of you unfamiliar, shame on you. I'll touch on why Epona's cool and why she should reach the next Character Battle.
Why like Epona? She's your loyal companion like no other character in the Legend of Zelda series, that's why! She helps you travel, race, and attack with her to support your journey. You may also talk with her when you're in wolf-form, plus you can call her from nearly anywhere on command at any time as long as you play her soothing song...
...I know your nostalgia's invoked. Remember the first time you saw her grown up after you got the Master Sword? Or jumped Gerudo Bridge when it was broken? Or shot arrows to kill a Poe while riding her? Me too.
Furthermore, she has become a staple in the LoZ-series. She first appeared in the most celebrated game ever made -- Ocarina of Time. She returned later in the Nintendo 64's lifespan for Majora's Mask, and you even start with her and name her in Twilight Princess. She can be found with smaller roles in games such as Minish Cap and Four Swords Adventure, too. She has been a regular LoZ-character since the series took its 3D-transition, and at one time or another we've all relied on the trusty steed.
Why should she make a contest? Because we can always use more worthwhile newcomers and Epona's well-respected in the LoZ-series. She should beat Midna and crush Tingle, which is a good start for any newcomer. No other new LoZ-character makes sense to rally for next, either. Sheik? Ineligible. Dark Link? Clone. Happy Mask Salesman? Bomb. King of Red Lions? Horseback-riding > sailing! Navi? LISTEN...no. She may be able to garner a bit of joke-support as well for being a horse in a contest of characters, though I think she's become more than just a horse to avoid that kind of vote.
How many newcomers can you think of that would beat Epona, anyway? Considering Link won six contests, Ganondorf was the runner-up for the Villain Contest, Link/Ganon easily took the Rivalry Rumble, Zelda was in the championship for the Female Bracket, LoZ won the Series Contest, LoZ:OoT won BGE2, LoZ:MM won GotD, and LoZ:TP won both the 2004-2006 division of BGE2 and its division in the GotD-contest...it's hard to say Epona doesn't have a chance at doing well!
Ultimately, Epona is a character that we have shared more time with than we probably realize, which can make her stronger than we probably realize. She's a newcomer with an interesting range and good potential to be respectable in the contests. We've had over a decade of great gaming memories with her and hopefully more are coming. We most recently saw her in LoZ:OoT3D, a nearly-launch game for a system that has set records for first-year sales....so imagine what she can do nowadays.
Lightning Strikes posted... if you look at these boards you'd swear that MM was the most popular Zelda but it's the weakest selling console game in the series, and behind most of the handhelds.
I didn't realize LoZ:MM sold so poorly, especially considering it directly followed LoZ:OoT (barring maybe a handheld-game). Wow.

I like how I can look back in time with the Timeline too, but I don't like how my Facebook-friends can do the same with mine. I really wish there was a privacy-option for content on your account after a certain period of time (anything over a year old could be blocked in my ideal world, for example).

Despite growing up with the Genesis instead of the SNES, the Super Nintendo overcame my nostalgia and kicked its ass. Still, yeah, there are a lot of good games to be found. Some of my favorites:
Sonic's main-line games (S&K's the best; Sonic 1's skippable) Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine Contra: Hard Corps Comix Zone Golden Axe 2 Tiny Toon Adventures - Acme All-Stars
You already got Dynamite Headdy, too.

Sorry Luster, but ctes has very valid points. Between the many awkward circumstances you will have to work around and this being your first time trying -- especially with somebody who's basically a stranger if you're doing this online -- there are a lot of obstacles to overcome.
Dating is something your parents should understand quite easily; that's probably how they met! If they don't, well, eventually moving out becomes an even more appealing option.

I recently replayed VVVVVV on Steam. I might get it on the 3DS one day (especially if the 3D works well for it), though it's so short I'd hate to rebuy it.
Still, it's a quality game.

If Link was black, the Pegasus Boots would be a pair of Air Jordans.
If Link was black, Epona would have spinners. If Link was black getting to the Water Temple would've been pretty difficult. If Link was black he would not have to use the master sword. If Link were black, he would actually be able to jump.
These four are great.
