"SO YOU CHOSE TO SACRIFICE ME AND MY PEOPLE TO HIM INSTEAD!? Or did you honestly think 'oh, I'm suuuuure they can handle it! LET'S DESTROY THE MIRROR WITHOUT EVEN WARNING THEM TO BE SAFE'!!"
@ “All we knew, based on the writings of the mirror and carvings on the temple around it, was that it was a prison. The priests and scholars claimed it might have even dated back to the Ancient Demon War and might have been used to seal demons of unimaginable power. I’m going to be honest, Midna. If any of you had stepped out of the portal back then looking anything like the Dark Beasts I’ve seen, we probably would thrown him in sooner. As it was, it was last resort. We worked under the assumption that opening it up might release demons we couldn’t even imagine. But eventually, when the sages tried to recreate what I had done, use seven sages and the holy blade to kill him, failed, and then Ganon killed one of them meaning the ritual wouldn’t work again. We were out of… everything. Rituals, Holy Relics, items of powerful magic from ancient eras. Smiths and seers worked themselves to death to create weapons that failed. And no prison could hold Ganondorf for long. When we found that mirror, Zelda thought it was a gift from Hylia to get rid of him. And it did, we lived out the rest of our days thinking that Ganondorf was either dead, tortured by demons, or plotting ineffectually in a realm that had never seen anyone escape it. We never knew that there was civilization inside it, let alone a peaceful one. That the only ‘demon’ inside the mirror was the one we were sending in. But, before you judge us let me ask you question. If, after a decade of bleeding yourself and your people dry to get rid of a man who always seemed ready and able to escape whatever bonds you put him in and build up an army to shatter your kingdom without negotiation, you found a prison that was supposed to be able to hold him for all time, what would you do with it? Wait another decade? Watch men and children die to the armies he formed out of greater and greater monsters? Spend years in shadow wars with his deranged followers fighting over things that may or may not kill him? Or… would you use it? Our places reversed, Ganondorf would have fallen into a peaceful Hyrule unprepared for the devastation that came to it. I regret what we did, and the results it had on your people. Knowing what I know now, we might have let you all out and left Ganondorf to rot alone. But with what I knew then, I doubt I’d have done anything else, and in our position, I think you would have, too.”
Damn...while this definitely plays up just how horrifying Ganondorf with the blessing of the Gods is... ...I can't help but mentally compare this to SCP-682.
Oh, Shade shouldn’t be blamed for finding the mirror. If not for that, Ganondorf wouldn’t have been sealed away, and he would’ve laid waste to Hyrule, after wiping out the rest of the sages after his failed execution. The worst thing he did was prolong things.
Then what about the final battle of Ocarina of time? There he was banished without the mirror. Also, why blame him? He found the mirror. He didn't use it for banishing Ganondorf.
Blaming Shade for the events of TP after finding the Mirror is like blaming the inventor of the internal combustion engine for pollution. What’s done with the object after it’s found is not always up to those who found it.
@@danielprokopius6765 I didn't say he should be blamed. I'm just saying, if he hadn't found the mirror, Mida and her people might not have gotten involved.
In Time’s defence, this is on the Sages for using the mirror to seal Ganondorf away. Also, I think the TriForce itself should take some of the heat for granting him part of itself even though it was a separate timeline and he hadn’t tried grabbing it yet.
Of course the explorer of the kingdom finds the one thing that keeps the plot going. Of course it brings him more misery. Of course. Hey, Hylia? COULD YA STOP MAKING YOUR DESIGNATED HERO SUFFER? HE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH! ADDING ANYTHING MORE IS CRUELTY!
@@grandadmiralthrawn92 Oh, I am FAR betting that both of them are being reduced to REALLY petty means at this point. If Demise doesn't continue it, Hylia WILL. Wish-granting relic and everybody conveniently forgets this curse exists that could easily be solved with a single wish. A Hero's Purpose even points this out, Ganondorf in it just as usual simply does everything the wrong way, through conquest and brute force but he's completely sincere about fixing the problem, even though anyone with common sense knows Demise is just going to take him over as soon as he gets his hands on the completed relic and ruin it for everyone. All it takes is one casual wish from the good guys when absolutely nothing bad is currently happening to utterly destroy this franchise's plot without further entries needing an explanation for why the badness keeps coming back. "Wow, the way you put it, it sounds like Skyward Sword putting in the curse was a bad idea." I don't WANNA say that but IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT, DOESN'T IT? Before, we had no reason, just "Ganondorf is just that unkillable and stubborn". Now that we HAVE a reason, the entire series can be ruined by removing it. Without the curse, more Zelda games have no excuse to exist. They HAVE a retcon device. And they DON'T. USE. IT. _DOES ANYBODY ELSE SEE THE PROBLEM HERE? AND HOW STUPID OF A PROBLEM IT IS? AM I CRAZY?_
@@ShadowsWrath4 Maybe that's why most of the games released after Skyward Sword don't actually *have* the Triforce in them. Outside of the HD remakes of WW and TP, the only one that actually has all three golden pieces physically present is A Link Between Worlds, which was used to bring back the Lorulean Triforce. Granted, it could have been used to get rid of the curse in Hyrule Warriors, but because Cia is a child-stalking freak, it didn't happen.
Holy crap. This has gone pretty far from "lol what if Link told the Hero's Spirit about Ganondorf and he decided to tag along out of spite" to "what if he actually fought Ganondorf himself while Link was after Zant" to now just a whole new full Zelda story with character development and worldbuilding for who the Hero of Time became! Now we have Midna confronting him and it feels like it can go almost anywhere. I am confused whether Zant is still alive or Midna has all the fused Shadows and should be able to open up Hyrule Castle, BUT I AM SO DOWN!!
Hold on. The Shade is the Child Link that went on to look for Navi, and was lost in the forest. When did he have time to even find and report the mirror?
“Well technically it’s also his fault because of the whole rebirth not rebirth thing. Personally I’d blame the guy who made the mirror and just left it laying around with no explanatory note.”
Nope. Well… kinda? Thanks to timeline shenanigans, there are three separate timelines (they eventually merged back together but that’s an entirely different conversation). The first is the Child Timeline where Link won against Ganondorf, returned back to the past, told Zelda who Ganondorf was, which led to the events of Twilight Princess. This timeline sees the Hero of Time/Hero's Shade live a different life where he eventually grew up and became either a mercenary or a highly decorated soldier of Hyrule, given the clearly battle damaged armour we see his spirit wear, during this time, he eventually had a wife and children, resulting in his descendant a couple generations later in the form of the Hero of Twlight, AKA Twilight Princess Link, and yes, it’s just as confusing to find out that there is an instance of a previous hero being genetically related to the current hero. Timeline 2 is the Adult Timeline, where the Hero of Time just vanishes from the world after defeating Ganondorf and sealing him away within the Blade of Evil's Bane/Master Sword, and the blade is left behind for Zelda to return. Ganondorf eventually breaks out, leading to a new set of heroes to fight him throughout the ages of that timeline. Timeline 3 is the Downfall Timeline, where Ganondorf actually won in the fight between him and the Hero of Time, resulting in Hyrule eventually being plunged into darkness, and kicking off several of the original games, in which at the end he is eventually defeated and killed.
Midna: Try getting a psychopath dumped in your home who helps another psychopath turn your people into monsters while you’re forced to watch in the form of a weak little imp, then see who needs to chill out!
Now Midna is very angry now and understand that this is not Zant or the sage faults, but Shades faults and now she is mad at him lol, who's the great enemy and villain now? 😂
“They sold my stuff to the local GoodDeed, I didn’t expect the Tunic to end up with you of all people.”

Yeah, but if he hadn’t found the mirror, the Twili, including Midna, wouldn’t be involved. Time unintentionally got them mixed up in all this.

i mean they accidentaly gave their probleme to an other world/kingdom. i would be peaced if i was the ruler of said kingdom
I like how Midna was doing her best to restrain herself, but the cap on her anger was blown over the moment Shade said he found the mirror.
If he found the mirror, then he should take a good look at himself in the mirror.
How did you comment this before the video came out?

Time getting the Spider-man treatment TM
To be fair, that was probably caused by the curse of Demise more than Hylia.

Why does he look so wicked when he said “No see….I’m the hero before you.😈” looking like a mad scientist and the eerie music doesn’t help XD
Now I want to know how was the thought process that gone from "Oh, coll Mirror!" to "Let's throw the most Evil guy we know there!"
The connection between generations of heroes and Ganondorf's influence makes this tale feel so deep. 🕸️
*NO WAY*
That's how ovegakart's doing it???
WOWWWWWWWWWW
That is
honestly so cool
Even if he found the mirror in the first place, it was still the Sages who put Ganondorf into the Twilight Realm. (Play the game.)
If Midna had a tail in her imp form, she would look like
a cat.
Nah, don't blame Shade. Blame those frauds who tried to execute Ganondorf and failed spectacularly.
Midna’s voice acting is on point.
Hold on. The Shade is the Child Link that went on to look for Navi, and was lost in the forest. When did he have time to even find and report the mirror?
After Termina, he found his way back eventually, presumably.
Yet another thing that needs to be sorted for Twilight and especially Midna to trust Shade again.
Midna about to give that man a hairy knuckle sandwich.
Midna is tweaking
“Well technically it’s also his fault because of the whole rebirth not rebirth thing. Personally I’d blame the guy who made the mirror and just left it laying around with no explanatory note.”
The mirror was made by the goddesses
and thus, another timeline was created thanks to the hero of TIME. that would be a fun DLC or prequel for Twighlight Princess.
Oh come on this comic maker is just teasing us at this point!
Seriously, is Shade a version of Link from an alternate universe or the bad ending of Link, or something.
He's the OoT Link that went back into the past sent by Sheik/Zelda after defeating Ganondorf.
The same one as the Majora's Mask Link, which is a sort of sequel to OoT.
@@gigithehedgehog8469Yep, the Link who survived fates worse than hell itself only to be isolated and forgotten twice over...

So link and the amazing mirror
I'm pretty sure that shade had no idea that gannondorf would be sucked into the mirror
When Midna yells at him, Shade’s got that “I’m in danger” look on his face😂
But that was..A HUNDRED YEARS AGO!?!😨
I love this ! Please keep up this amazing story!
55 Minutes ago! Yesss and update to an amazing comic I love! 😊
Oh Midna is MAD!
Midna need to chill out
Midna: Try getting a psychopath dumped in your home who helps another psychopath turn your people into monsters while you’re forced to watch in the form of a weak little imp, then see who needs to chill out!
ooh, plot twist!
Midna was trying to hold back lol.
My brain was like "wait a minute didn't oot Zelda send him there?" Then I drank my coffee and remembered that was the wind waker branch lol.
😂 😅 It's not like they didn't try anything ( everything) else.
He just wouldn't die.
Ganon was terrifying.
Shade incurred the fury of Midna.
Next part please ❤
Found the mirror? Huh?
I know Midna have a good reason to be angry, but Shade didn't exactly have a choice back then.
Now Midna is very angry now and understand that this is not Zant or the sage faults, but Shades faults and now she is mad at him lol, who's the great enemy and villain now? 😂
Lol no one questions why shade looks identical to link shares the tri force and his name is link also pretty sure they could put 2 and 2 together
And Ganon will know
By Joining sides with CDI Link they do!
That isn’t surprising
Yeah that was me, sorry fam MB
How old of Shade before Link? XD
How did he find the mirror?
did link (oot) find mirror of twillight true
When the hell did he find it?! I don't remember that little fact being in Ocarina!! Or was it stated IN Twilight? Cuz then I wouldn't know lmfao
Link to the full series?
Interesting.
LORE
That isn’t surprising q
Still ship
