Partway through the game, Link retrieves the Master Sword from the Temple of Time which in turn sends him into the future in adult form. From there he aids Zelda in her battles against Ganondorf’s forces in the blighted future and the still mostly unfazed past....

Once the season ends, the players are made to go their separate ways and they hear not much about their IPL sides until it’s almost time for the next one to begin. Hence the youngsters are seldom associated with an IPL side as much as with their state sides or regional teams. The Kolkata Knight Riders seemed to have understood the issue, and in an effort to hold its young players together even after a particular IPL season has long ended, they have set forth in a new venture, the “KKR Academy”, since Wednesday, July 11....
It was fear, not love, that prompted this recent outpouring of fealty. And it all sprang from the ruckus raised by Richard Leakey, a son of the legendary paleontologists Louis and Mary Leakey and a former director of the Kenya Wildlife Service. Last May, Leakey emerged as the founder and potential presidential candidate of a new opposition party known in Swahili as Safina (Noah’s Ark). Leakey accused the ruling party of rampant corruption and neglect of Kenya’s crumbling infrastructure....
Bush’s plan, less clear on the details, has a price tag of $158 billion. He says he will work with Congress to reform Medicare. Until then, he will provide $48 billion to the states to help low-income seniors pay for their drugs. The rest of the money would cover at least 25 percent of the premiums for seniors buying health insurance, including drug coverage, from private insurers or Medicare. All prescriptions are covered after $6,000 in out-of-pocket expenses....
The pivotal decision came last Monday in a racial-gerrymandering case brought in North Carolina. Sharply split at 5-4, the justices ruled that carving out legislative districts solely to elect more blacks might violate the constitutional rights of white voters. After the 1990 census, North Carolina created two majority black districts. The state legislature acted at the behest of the U.S. Justice Department-then in GOP hands-which, in turn, appeared to be following what the Voting Rights Act of 1965 seemed to require....
Last week Mazar-e Sharif became a battleground–and a graveyard–once again. As American warplanes bombarded Taliban front lines, the Northern Alliance launched a long-awaited assault on the city. Tanks and armored vehicles supported by infantry and warriors on horseback advanced north through outlying villages toward the city, across a moonscape of bomb craters, broken bunkers, a scattering of dead Taliban soldiers and discarded equipment. By Friday evening, thousands of dirt-smeared Taliban fighters had abandoned their bunkers and tunnels and evacuated Mazar-e Sharif....
See a shrink, of course. That’s the premise of HBO’s wickedly amusing new drama The Sopranos. In the debut episode, which aired Sunday and will be rerun throughout this week, New Jersey ““waste-management consultant’’ Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) suffers a series of panic attacks that land him, reluctantly, in the office of Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco). He’s got issues, all right–with both of his ““families.’’ His widowed mother (Nancy Marchand) is deteriorating quickly but refuses help....
The Bengals wide receiver underwent “a minor ankle procedure” Tuesday morning, according to NFL Media, which cited unidentified sources. The latest report projects Green will miss “a few games” after he was previously expected to be healthy by Week 1. Green suffered a left ankle injury Saturday at practice and had to be carted off the field. While initial reports claimed he suffered a sprained ankle, ESPN later reported that Green sustained torn ligaments in the ankle and will likely be missing in action for six to eight weeks....
The top teams coming out of the AAC are Houston (27-2, 14-2 in AAC) and Cincinnati (25-4, 14-2).

Amid growing fervor after Kanye West’s recent antisemitic comments, Rams DT Aaron Donald and Celtics forward Jaylen Brown parted ways with West-owned sports agency Donda Sports on Tuesday, cutting ties with the rapper’s agency less than a year after signing on. Both athletes released statements detailing the reasons why they opted to leave. “The recent comments and displays of hate and antisemitism are the exact opposite of how we choose to live our lives and raise our children,” Donald said in a joint statement with his wife, Erica....
The defense’s case claims that Lloyd and Hernandez were friends, and that there was no motive for murder. It wants the jury to believe co-defendants Carlos Ortiz and/or Ernest Wallace instead shot Lloyd. The prosecution’s case points to a heavy amount of circumstantial evidence.

The free agent outfielder could decide to walk away from the Yankees this offseason, a thought that seems fairly inconceivable given the season he just had. Though, if Judge does walk, it may not be about the financials as much as it was about a certain contract offer revealed on Opening Day. Judge, who was recently named Time’s Athlete of the Year, said in a profile by the magazine that he was displeased with Yankees GM Brian Cashman making the terms of the team’s final contract offer to him on Opening Day public....
The Huddersfield midfielder, who has 64,500 followers, had his Instagram biography replaced with the words, “HACKED BY TURKISH HACKERS”. Mooy’s profile picture has also been replaced by a Turkish flag, with all 491 of his previous posts being deleted. It appears a Instagram user named mafyapenguenx is the culprit, posting a ’trophy’ picture of Mooy’s compromised account. The 27-year-old played in the Terriers’ 1-1 draw with Brighton overnight (AEST) - lasting the full 90 minutes....
The Green Bay Packers quarterback, 38, faced criticism late last year when, after testing positive for the novel coronavirus, he revealed that he had not been vaccinated as he expressed skepticism about the vaccine’s efficacy. His comments were all the more controversial because he told reporters back in August 2021 that he had been immunized against COVID-19, though he didn’t detail how. He isolated for 10 days in November 2021 after testing positive for COVID-19....
Aaron Rodgers has been dealing with a thumb injury since the closing seconds of a Week 5 loss to the Giants, and following a 27-17 loss to the Titans at home in Week 11, Rodgers didn’t sound as if he was seeing much improvement in the injury. There was some question as to whether the thumb played into his performance Thursday night: Rodgers finished with 24-of-39 passing, 227 yards and two touchdowns but uncharacteristically missed a handful of layup throws....
Only one of the most historic franchises in the history of the NFL, owner of 13 championships and four Super Bowl victories and the current team of “Jeopardy!” guest host Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers quarterback suffered a fractured left pinky toe while quarantined with COVID-19 back in November, and he has been playing through pain since he returned to the team in Week 10.

Josh McCown, playing in place of the injured Jay Cutler, threw for two touchdowns Monday night as the Bears won 27-20 and ended a six-game skid to their NFC North rivals. The loss snapped Green Bay's four-game winning streak, but the far larger concern is the health of Rodgers, who hurt his left (non-throwing) shoulder when he was sacked on the first series by Shea McClellin.
