Hey guys! Just a reminder that this is a re-upload from my time on The Game Theorist channel! Originally uploaded on November 29th, 2016, before Breath Of The Wild had released!
I said it when this was first uploaded, and I'll say it again. Link's Awakening, The Oracle Games, Four Swords and Four Swords Adventure, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, and Triforce Heroes are NOT spin offs. They're main series games, as proven by the timeline.
That they are canon doesn't mean they are not spin offs and many of them seem to go back to ckassic gameplay and graphics... they are great games but they are very possibly spin offs though i am not an expert so i could be wrong is difficult to differenciate spin offs and main stream games sometimes.👍👍👍👍
Sam I don’t know all the proper terms and nuances but I think they are still spinoffs, even though they are included in the canon story. The only one true Ku outside is hyrule wariors
Even though I watched this way back when it was uploaded on The Game Theorists, I watched it again because I'd like to support the channel, I enjoy the ABHs.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! LINK HIS NAME IS LINK PISS OFF FUCK YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deja vu I've just been in this place before Higher on the street And I know it's my time to go Calling you, and the search is a mystery Standing on my feet It's so hard when I try to be me, woah Deja vu I've just been in this time before Higher on the beat And I know it's a place to go Calling you and the search is a mystery Standing on my feet It's so hard when I try to be me, yeah
5:17 I actually think that this kind of ideal practice for sequels or even threequels is actually pretty fair and nice! Sometimes if you feel like you can’t exactly One-Up a successful sequel or second installment it’s okay to announce that you’re going in a much more experimental and vibrant direction in which you want to go. Sometimes sequels don’t have to be constantly bigger and better.
12:50 l LOVE the fact that you mentioned “Oceanhorn” as a look a like of The Legend of Zelda and not just a rip off because Oceanhorn has a way different mechanics and a cool story of it’s own..thank you for that
No. Hyrule Warriors, Link's Crossbow Training, and the Tingle games are spinoffs. Link's Awakening, The Oracles, Four Swords/Adventures, Minish Cap, The DS Zeldas, and ALBW are all mainline Zeldas.
@Duck Quaq actually id say that phantom hourglass is pretty good... but maybe im just saying that bc it was my first... still, loving a game s]despite its flaws is truly loving it.
I may have heard all of this stuff before multiple MULTIPLE times because I Love these games to death. I'm still glad you made a video on it Rider :3 ILY
The Legend of Zelda is the greatest game series ever made. Twilight Princess, the Wind Waker, and Breath of the Wild are my favorites and absolutely blew my mind when I first played each of them.
Oh ok sorry I thought you faked pbg being there cause he said he's done Zelda videos for almost a month. And he's been doing Mario month and it's the 12th
I have a random memory from when I was little involving A Link to the Past. I walked into the basement in my house, to find my dad playing what I know recognize as the legend of Zelda. He was escorting a girl through the dungeon, when she suddenly turned into a hideous monster. Since I was like, five, I was completely horrified, and ran out of the room. I might have even gotten a few nightmares from the “horrific” scene
This was trippy because I watched this on my console and didn't realize it was a reupload at first. PBG said it was the end of the month and talked about doing a lot of Zelda stuff which was weird since I knew he was skipping it this year. Then they talked about BOTW as though they had no idea what it was really about. That's really when I realized it was a reupload. Tripped me tf out at first tho
Oh right! This does indeed seem familiar, but I see it's a re-upload. Question; why do you call the handhelds spin-offs? If they follow the same story directly and is canon... and follow the same gameplay for the most part... Is it really a spin-off? Triforce Heroes is a spin-off, I think, but not Minish Cap or the DS games
There actually was an episode of Arthur where he was the only one who could pull a sword out of a rock at a tourist attraction. Season three episode nine
Why do you keep referring to the handheld games as “Spin-Offs?” CD-i, Tingle, Hyrule Warriors; those things are spin-offs. LA, OofA/S, MC, LBW, PH and ST are all canon.
i remember clearly my first time i ever played a Zelda game. It was Phantom Hourglass when it first came out. I absolutely loved the game! I would not put it down, i took my DS wherever i went to play it. I think it was exploration and side quests Formula that pulled me in. And to this day, i still keep re-running the game 100%! II truly think that Phantom Gourglass is the best Zelda game ever made.
keep forgetting that your re-uploading for a minute this was a new video and was kind of shocked that you did a new Zelda video so soon but no all is well I don't mind rewatching this it is one of my favorites
I don’t think majora is necessarily dark and mature, it feels more dark in a creepy and disturbing sense, twilight princess feels more mature (not just because of the rating) And I love symphony of the goddesses
Minish cap was underrated- it was my first Zelda game (which might make my opinion a bit biased), and cap come did a great job with it. Any Zelda fans who haven't played it, I highly recommend it.
Weren't Mario and Zelda developed more or less simultaneously, with the split in linear/open decisions guiding which features would go in which game? I'm pretty sure I've seen that several times.
I own the first zelda game and the second. My dad had drawn the full map of the first game that showed where all the items were and all the stores and the prices of each item at the store. He also showed where all the hidden places are.
In the thumbnail: Link: Piss off Zelda, I’m the star here! Zelda: Actually, I am. Link: I’m the character who is seen the most throughout every game! Zelda: Well, It’s named after me! Wa wa waaaaaaa
You forgot to mention the free Zelda game that was on the 3DS store for a while around 2012-ish? It was a homage to Four Swords, and is now unavailable (through any means). If necessary, as proof, I can upload a video to my channel featuring gameplay.
Very first fact is wrong, SMB and TLOZ were in development at the same time, but TLOZ was released a year later cuz it wound up taking longer to make. That is why there are similar elements in the two games, like the spinning fire balls in SMB were originals mean to be in TLOZ
Before you asked, all of Brief History videos were removed on Game Theorist's channel. Sooo, you won't see them anymore like Trailer Drake's Smash History.
Hey guys! Just a reminder that this is a re-upload from my time on The Game Theorist channel! Originally uploaded on November 29th, 2016, before Breath Of The Wild had released!
FootofaFerret that explains alot
You should really pin this dude.
FootofaFerret yep that makes more sense
FootofaFerret that explains why you guys didn't describe how well it sold😂😅
You liked your own comment

Link's Awakening, The Oracle Games, Four Swords and Four Swords Adventure, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, and Triforce Heroes are NOT spin offs.

Links Awakening was so good tho 💕
I like trains

*Zelda:Twilight princess*-I’m the best-selling Zelda game so far!
*Zelda:BOTW*-Hold my beer...

Definitely a must read. My favourite is Oracle of Ages.
I FREAKING LOVE ARTHUR!
SAID MOM
*Tongue acrobatics* ARTHER MEMES
Arthurrrrrrrrrrr
I freaking hate Arthur
Everyone this is a re-uploaded version of the video from the game theory channel, because none of you could actually check the description
Bentheheropon :D I find that it makes the video more funny.
But it doesn't say why.
How do you know no one read the discrption
I want to see a brief history of Arthur now
Even though I watched this way back when it was uploaded on The Game Theorists, I watched it again because I'd like to support the channel, I enjoy the ABHs.
It’s a me Crash bandicoot to save Hyrule from King DeDeDe
You tried. Yet not funny.
Would buy 59k copies
Sign me right the fuck up
hell yeah
The legend of super Crash Bandicoot's Dreamland
6:08
Ryder: Its not fact it’s just a theory.
PBG: A game theory!
Oh my gosh I read that at the same time he said it 😶
Zelda is a pretty cool guy, eh fights monsters and doesnt afraid of anything
I don't know if you're serious or not,but either way I'm on the floor still clutching my sides after that bout of laughter. Thank you.
I love meme throwbacks.
Septic Bile knowyourmeme.com/memes/pretty-cool-guy

One "N" my dude...
Deja vu
I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street
And I know it's my time to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, woah
Deja vu
I've just been in this time before
Higher on the beat
And I know it's a place to go
Calling you and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, yeah
:-D
I feel like I've seen this before
Conor B yeah
Conor B it’s because it’s a reuploaded video from Game Theory
Yeah
Apparently nobody can read the first line of the description:

1:46 the legend of zelda was released in 1987
Me: no it was 1986
*TRIGGERED*
@@MemoryAEBDC still initially released in 1986
12:50 l LOVE the fact that you mentioned “Oceanhorn” as a look a like of The Legend of Zelda and not just a rip off because Oceanhorn has a way different mechanics and a cool story of it’s own..thank you for that
why are these guys acting like the handheld games aren't full blown games and are just spin offs?
mehdigeek but most of em are spin offs
nah, nearly all of em are direct sequels and only like 3 of em dont share the same gameplay
All are on the official timeline, but the ds era really let the handhelds down (link between worlds really picked the handheld series though)
No. Hyrule Warriors, Link's Crossbow Training, and the Tingle games are spinoffs. Link's Awakening, The Oracles, Four Swords/Adventures, Minish Cap, The DS Zeldas, and ALBW are all mainline Zeldas.
@Duck Quaq actually id say that phantom hourglass is pretty good...
but maybe im just saying that bc it was my first...
still, loving a game s]despite its flaws is truly loving it.
Am I the only one who wants the background music to be officially released? Seriously, I love it.
Take a breath of the wild
ToxicDeath999 this is a re upload from last Zelda month
Two recommendations,
A brief History of NigaHiga
&
A brief history of Kirby?
I'd like a brief history of all the brief histories xD
yas
doo eet
"Wait...did someone say Author!?" Best opening line ever.
A brief history of Cooking Mama
yasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
we need this
0:47 when somebody mentions Gumball and I'm around 👌🏼
Wait but you made a Zelda brief history in dec 13 2013...
*ARTHUUUUUUUURRRRRR*
I may have heard all of this stuff before multiple MULTIPLE times because I Love these games to death. I'm still glad you made a video on it Rider :3 ILY
Why did GT delete all your vids? I get you left, but why not at least keep the goodbye video
Matt Pat might be salty idk.
I dunno why but this brief history and sonic’s brief history really motivate me!
Zelda is a boy and you play as him to defeat the evil Gannon and save the princess peach
ThatOneWindow ! I know this is a joke but u also have to defeat evil robot bugs
The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventures of Link is and will forever be my favorite Legend of Zelda game. And I've played them all. Much, much love.
also Oracle of Ages was dope. wish I owned oracle of seasons. gotta download that ROM.
8:12 - 8:17
Me:*Laughing very hard*
...
Oh your serious?
The Legend of Zelda is the greatest game series ever made. Twilight Princess, the Wind Waker, and Breath of the Wild are my favorites and absolutely blew my mind when I first played each of them.
I like trains
You are dead
1:00 every day when you're walking down the street, every body that you meet has a different point of veiw
Oh ok sorry I thought you faked pbg being there cause he said he's done Zelda videos for almost a month. And he's been doing Mario month and it's the 12th
I have a random memory from when I was little involving A Link to the Past. I walked into the basement in my house, to find my dad playing what I know recognize as the legend of Zelda.

OH SHIZZLE I JUST REALIZED THE BREATH OF THE WILD MAP IS BIGGER THAN THE SKYRIM MAP.
This was trippy because I watched this on my console and didn't realize it was a reupload at first. PBG said it was the end of the month and talked about doing a lot of Zelda stuff which was weird since I knew he was skipping it this year. Then they talked about BOTW as though they had no idea what it was really about. That's really when I realized it was a reupload. Tripped me tf out at first tho
I
FRICKIN
LOVE
ARTHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR
I like the " it aint no kings quest" frase .
Oh right! This does indeed seem familiar, but I see it's a re-upload. Question; why do you call the handhelds spin-offs? If they follow the same story directly and is canon... and follow the same gameplay for the most part... Is it really a spin-off?

The handheld games aren't spin-offs (and unfortunately that includes Triforce Heroes)
There actually was an episode of Arthur where he was the only one who could pull a sword out of a rock at a tourist attraction. Season three episode nine
No Link's Awakening?
Echocookie that's a major slip up that game was AWSOME
I agree.
--DELETED--
DID YOU SAW ON 9:24?
Blind 9:24
The start where you go into a cave and see a sword was inspired by Shigeru’s past when he was a kid and found a cave
Toon link is the better in my opinion but until the new game which now is not as new
Why do you keep referring to the handheld games as “Spin-Offs?” CD-i, Tingle, Hyrule Warriors; those things are spin-offs. LA, OofA/S, MC, LBW, PH and ST are all canon.
"It aint no kings quest"
How dare you say that to me
i remember clearly my first time i ever played a Zelda game. It was Phantom Hourglass when it first came out. I absolutely loved the game! I would not put it down, i took my DS wherever i went to play it. I think it was exploration and side quests Formula that pulled me in. And to this day, i still keep re-running the game 100%! II truly think that Phantom Gourglass is the best Zelda game ever made.
I like Ferrets.
Dang it pbg!! We just settled after nostalgia critic blew up the world for his love for Christmas
OH MY GOD DO GORILLAZ!!!!!!!
Robert Hsu YES
keep forgetting that your re-uploading for a minute this was a new video and was kind of shocked that you did a new Zelda video so soon but no all is well I don't mind rewatching this it is one of my favorites
Is this a reupload?
Isaac Foshay Yes, but from the game theorists channel.
I don’t think majora is necessarily dark and mature, it feels more dark in a creepy and disturbing sense, twilight princess feels more mature (not just because of the rating)
And I love symphony of the goddesses
Mmm yes anime link furry link and cross dresser link in one game
Woop Woop! The Legend of Zelda! My favorite is Spirit Tracks :3
Was this recorded a year ago?😂
Joseph Cooper yes actually, this is a reuploaded video from the Game Theorist channel
Joseph Cooper yep!
I KNEW IT!!
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that
Minish cap was underrated- it was my first Zelda game (which might make my opinion a bit biased), and cap come did a great job with it. Any Zelda fans who haven't played it, I highly recommend it.
The main character of Zelda is Zelda
and Link is also there I guess.
ThePinkBunnyEmpire oh is link the girl
no im pretty sure you mean tingle
Zelda is a boy and you play as her
Deathly Guy don't u mean he?
Peanut: I LOVE *ARTHUUURR*
Me: **chokes my drink**
tfpsboi Yt why would you choke it? How rude
we need an UNDERTALE MONTH
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *PUNCH*
@Toei Sonic Lover facts
Them: The Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, A link to the Past, Ocar-
Me: NONONONONONONONONONONONONONO YOU FORGOT ONE!!!!!
You cannot just show tingles rosy rupee land and not explained it’s grand majesty to everyone
7:34 Thank you Ryder! 🖤
The thing is, this was the Zelda video that put PBG in. No more Zelda month, it's Mario month boys!
And here we are in 2019 with yet a new Zelda game
Weren't Mario and Zelda developed more or less simultaneously, with the split in linear/open decisions guiding which features would go in which game?
I'm pretty sure I've seen that several times.
Yay I only watch use to watch cause you did a brief history of my favorite youtuber but now your one of my favorite youtuber.
There are many amazing games and game series that exist today, but out of all those games only one series....is a legend.
Footofafarret colab with pbg? I think I can finally die happy
Release year of game: "THIS GAME IS AMAZING!"
Later years: "THIS GAME SUCKS!"
F in chat for Spirit Tracks.
I loved the Minish Cap, the shrinking was such a fun mechanic
Wind Waker was released on March 24, 2003.
It was released in Japan in December 2002, that’s probably where the confusion was.
I own the first zelda game and the second. My dad had drawn the full map of the first game that showed where all the items were and all the stores and the prices of each item at the store. He also showed where all the hidden places are.
Don't you dare hate on links crossbow training. That game was pretty fun, even now, 7 years after I first played it when in was younger
In the thumbnail:
Link: Piss off Zelda, I’m the star here!
Zelda: Actually, I am.
Link: I’m the character who is seen the most throughout every game!
Zelda: Well, It’s named after me!
Wa wa waaaaaaa
Also Twilight Princess is the best game yeet
Thumbnail looks like Link is tossing away Zelda carelessly to go fight something
Best idea I've come across in 25 years.
Dude I was binging these episodes and I look and this comes up. YES
Link to the Past has been a major influence in my life. Still one of my favorite games to this day
Same, I think that was the first Zelda series game I have ever played!
I might have played the original Zelda, but I was pretty young so I don't really remember. LttP was the first one I owned
Spirit Tracks was released when the state of Delaware's 222nd birthday and the Attack on Pearl Harbor's 68th birthday.
You forgot to mention the free Zelda game that was on the 3DS store for a while around 2012-ish? It was a homage to Four Swords, and is now unavailable (through any means). If necessary, as proof, I can upload a video to my channel featuring gameplay.
Nobody:
PBG: I FREAKING LOVE
A R T H U R
I find it funny that as he said in the video, this was actually the video that did Peanut Butter Gamer in on Zelda Month.
- Get's behind the desk. - GET DOWN!!!!
When PBG showed up at Arthur not Zelda in November I fucking lost it lmao
0:47 and thus the best moment in a brief history was born...
So What you're saying is on my birthday,October 26 2000, majors mask was released. Holy crap!!! I'm lucky.
MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME WAS RELEASED IN AMERICA ON MY BIRTHDAY.
OH.
MY.
EFFIN.
GOD.
NOTHING CAN GO WRONG TODAY.
Same here! Spla2n released on my birthday! (July 21)
I don't like motion controls to buttons, but I never had a problem with Skyward Sword controls, other than the fact I hold the remote in my left hand.
Very first fact is wrong, SMB and TLOZ were in development at the same time, but TLOZ was released a year later cuz it wound up taking longer to make. That is why there are similar elements in the two games, like the spinning fire balls in SMB were originals mean to be in TLOZ
Before you asked, all of Brief History videos were removed on Game Theorist's channel. Sooo, you won't see them anymore like Trailer Drake's Smash History.
i like how nintendo casually fights its own games because they are that good
The I love Arthur joke I’m pretty sure scared away any new viewers
Best PBG collab Evahhhhhhh
Oh. It's a re-upload. That explains why pbg didn't say zelda month was canceled this year
We need “It ain't no King’s Quest” merch
