Muitos dizem que Shadow of the Colossus é um dos jogos que provam que video games são arte. E apesar de pinturas e desenhos ainda serem as fan-arts mais populares, no caso de SotC também temos várias poesias baseadas no jogo, muito boas por sinal.
Então eu juntei algumas para o post de hoje, não tenho o que comentar sobre elas, mas peguei algumas das mais legais que achei. Aí estão elas:
Shadow of the Colossus - Por xebra7
A Boy, a
Horse, and a Girl ride
Across the
bridge to the vast side
The
lifeless Girl set on the stone bed
The talk
with the god to awaken the dead
A battle
with the first statue of sixteen
This casts
the gods' shadow on the scene
Travels
though this vast land
Battles
with this colossal band.
The Bull
and Knight both fall
Thirteen
left that the Sword shall call
A battle
with the third of the sixteen
Casts the
gods' shadow on the scene.
The Shaman
and Soldiers start to come
While the
Horse and Phoenix are done.
The bearded
Goliath has been brought down
As well
hydrous won't move around.
A battle
with the seventh of sixteen
This casts
the gods' shadow on the scene.
Arrows shot
through the Lizard of the wall
Brings out
the shaman's call.
The outcome
of the turtle of this land
Also brings
the downfall of the snake in the sand.
A battle
with the tenth of sixteen
This casts
the gods' shadow on the scene.
Flames cast
upon the shadow of the Lion
Blade
through the Basilisk's heart with good timing.
Arrows shot
up though the Snake of the sky
Rubble
kills the temple Tiger without even a try.
A battle
with the fourteenth of sixteen
This casts
the gods' shadow on the scene
The
colossal Sentinel of the eastern castle
Falls with
a thump and a giant hassle.
The Giga's
maze is difficult terrain
But till
the Giga's death the boy maintains.
A battle
with the last of sixteen
This casts
the gods' final shadow on the scene
This god
grants his power to the Boy and Girl
The Shaman
shows up and everything curdles.
The Boy
gains uncontrollable power
And the
Shaman and Soldiers, terrified, cower.
The battle
between the Shaman and the Boy
The shadow
of the god shatters souls like toys.
The Shaman
struggles but at last
Casts the
Boy in the fountain vast.
The Shaman
flees across the bridge, the Soldiers too;
Just as the
Boy is reborn brand new.
The battle
is over finally,
But the Girl's
shadow lives on untimely.
Shadow of the Colossus - Por shehrozeameen
colossi
roaming
the island
undisturbed in
acceptance of a
purposeful fate when
the shadow will encompass
their absolution
legends will speak of
them as the voice of their god
will call out their names
when darkness will fall
and mountains will be bathed
in their memory
for they are not carved
in stone - they epitomize
an ancient credence
as holy as the
heavens from where they had come
and whence they'll return
many wanderers
came and went, but one prevailed
and face the sixteen
harbingers of Man's
divine destiny - from them
have we earned our peace
the first was patience;
the second was existence
the third - tradition
the fourth was conquest
the fifth was truth's harbinger
the sixth was mercy
the seventh was fate
the eighth was humanity
the ninth - purity
the tenth was bondage
the eleventh was struggle
the twelfth was piety
the thirteenth was rage
the fourteen was harmony
the fifteenth - bravery
the last was Judgement
for accepting the purpose
of the Colossi
Road to revival - Por Wander lol
The wind
hit his cloak
sorrowing
to the south.
The sun
bathes his face,
the water
reach his legs
and the
earth cracks under his feets.
Travelling
to the place
where he
can revive his fallen love
The quest
is certain dead,
and forbiden.
But this
don´t will stop him.
To every
obstacle he defeat,
to every
giant he slays
he feel no
fear,
and
continue his quest.
Falling in
the ground from the final battle,
``I did
it,she is alive again´´ he thought
before
close his eyes
and die
Shadow of the Colossus Ver. II - Por darkside-ky
She is the
reason I came here,
Despite the
dangers I brave.
To break
the dreadful curse of fear,
And bring
her back from the grave.
But now I
stand here, looking at you,
Fallen
down, a majestic creature slain.
Your eyes
glance up at a sky so blue,
I ended
your life, to bring her back again.
My regret
is in my sword and horse’s neigh,
I had to do
what must be undone.
A giant
beast, you once thundered across the plains,
Now your
remains dry in the sun.
I stand in
your shadow, lost in thoughts
Of a great
battle that took place between us.
I climbed
your back as you shook and fought,
But the
life you had is naught but dust.
Perhaps
someday I’ll revisit this place of nostalgia and memories.
I will
bring my beloved, return here, and tell her your story.
In the Shade of the Mountain - Por Isaac-Volpe
Inside the
temple there you will meet
a god who
will share a secret if sixteen you greet
To bring
life to your maiden mountains must fall
accoutered
with only a sword must you bestow eternal slumber to them all
On top of a
cliff the first giant is slain
Next near
the cave the docile mammoth you will leave lame
Third cross
the walkway above the lake
there
you'll leave the second goliath's armor in your wake
The
following beast is a mighty steed
whose your
clever distraction it could never foresee
On top of a
pillar you next foe does sleep
awaken only
briefly for its wings now pierce into the deep
Your next
behemoth will carry much grief
for its
untamed beard shall bring you some much wanted relief
The two
coming creatures lightning they conjure
but your
ample dexterity will show them unwanted departure
Under dark
skies you will find the crustacean
with the
support of geysers shall he indeed find agitation
The next
three fiends dwell in secrecy
use your
head well to prove them they had no lasting mystery
Near the
ruins the winged snake does doze
when it's
in flight arrows you must use it bring it to cinders and stones
The
forthcoming brute is filled with much rage
with its
blind anger use fallen pillars to build his final stage
Within the
grand theater a titan you will stumble
upon
dropping his sword you will know how easily he will crumble
The final
adversary is indeed a monument
being
sealed in a tower has labored him no contentment
Dodge his
wrath and climb his vast column
upon striking
its high dome brace to witness the death of this Golem
Por hoje é só, foi um post meio preguiçoso lol, mas como disse não tenho o que comentar de cada um, apenas escolhi os mais legais. Inclusive vários dos autores da lista têm outros poemas de SotC, vale a pena ir nas páginas de cada um e ver um pouco mais.
Até a próxima!
