E3 Thursday Caption Contest!
« on: June 16, 2016, 05:32:00 AM »

Can you caption these Zelda: Breath of the Wild images from E3? You could win an amiibo or free game download code! Congratulations to the winners!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/contest/42874/e3-thursday-caption-contest

We've been giving out amiibo and game download code prizes all E3, and today we're doing it through a caption contest!

We'll supply some screenshots from games we've been talking about during E3 and all you need to do is select one of the images, think up a caption for it, and post below in the forum talkback thread for that article! (Only your FIRST caption entered each day will be valid for the contest, but feel free to keep listing down more for fun!)

At the end of the contest the NWR staff will select a winner for each day's theme, but even if you're not selected don't despair! An additional winner will be randomly selected from all the other valid entries and also awarded a prize!

Winners from yesterday's contest will be contacted soon, but go ahead and submit more captions anyways for fun!

Instructions:

  1. Log in or Register for our forums
  2. Click the "Add to the discussion!" link at the bottom of this article to start a post
  3. Write down the image you're captioning (for example "Just Dance 2017")
  4. Write down the caption for that image (for example, "Eat your vegetables!")
  5. Hit Post!

Unclaimed Prizes (So far!):

  • Celeste amiibo
  • (Wii U) Freedom Planet
  • (Wii U) Darksiders II
  • (Wii U) Swords and Soldiers II
  • (3DS) Nano Assault EX

With no further ado, here are your image choices! Get captioning!

Update: Congratulations to pokepal148 for their winning entry:


Link is just as annoyed as you are that they brought back sailing.


Also, congratulations to Phil AND Stevey, who both win prizes by random drawing!

Winners will be contacted shortly so they can pick their prizes!

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Let's caption it... WITH MUSIC!!!!


Image 2:

My food fell into a burning ring of fire
It went down, down, down
And they flames they grew higher
Well, it burned, burned, burned
In the ring of fire, the campsite fire.


And now the others.


Image 1

Oh Zelda there ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe.


Image 3

Modern Love gets me to the Church Of Time
Church Of Time terrifies me
Church Of Time makes me party
Church Of Time puts my trust in God and Man


Image 4

YYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU
Your sword is on fire
ConSUUUUUUMMMMMMmmmed
With what's just transpired

Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I want to take it
To take it

YYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU
Your sword is on fire
ConSUUUUUUMMMMMMmmmed
With what's just transpired


Image 5

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf


Image 6

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home

This is the worst trip I've ever been on.

Alternatively, I was thinking about using Between Two Islands by Pet Shop Boys for Image 6 but didn't think there would be many people who would recognize those lyrics. So, here's a bonus caption for you all.

Image 6

We sailed on a fishing-boat
between these two shores
the Island of Lovers
and the Island of Whores

You at the helm getting
soaked to the skin
taking me to places
I'd never been

Between Two Islands - Pet Shop Boys

Sorry, not just yet. I'm sorting out some last Prize stuff with the Wednesday winners and then I'll be able to contact the Thursday winners.

In other news, this week I'm going to start up weekly Amiibo giveaways that will last all summer, so keep you eyes peeled!

Are the winners of the caption contest secret?

I didn't see an announcement anywhere with the winning captions.
