Story
-------------------
After Link destroys the evil inside the Deku Tree, Link returns to the Deku Trees final wishes.
Info
----------
Sorry, this took so long!
This was my take on the Great Deku trees death scene.
Was by far the most tossed aside scene in the series LOL. Links literal only real guardian dies in front of him
and in Oot it was sooo stale...
Besides that It was fun to do this one because of how ironic it was to me as a kid! and I added my own spin at what the Deku should've said.
I noticed he never really said by or told Navi goodbye especially Navi ahahaha she just was Sunday driving thru that scene in the original LOL
The process of making this made me really appreciate my parents, anyone whos ever comforted you is someone very special regardless of what happens down the road. Tell the people you love, that you love them!
Anyways I have another video on the way please stay tuned!
and also streaming will return i figured out why it crashed ;)
And I have to give another big shout out to Brock Hewitt: Stories in Sound for literally going all in on this score!! please show him the love

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING
Watching link so happy when he sat down knowing what would happen hurt me so much but also filled me to the brim with happiness seeing how happy he was then when the great deku tree died I felt the same pain I felt 12 years ago when I was first old enough to understand the story of the game I had played so many times before this is so beautiful I cannot stress enough how great your work is
Couldn't agree more. I first played this game when I was three and never got to this part. When I was old enough to complete the dungeon I didn't fully understand what had happened so I just continued playing without a second thought. I replayed it a while ago and this bit really hit me. However, I wish Nintendo could do a remake with even better graphics so we could properly see the emotion Link felt. But I still love this scene regardless and I am amazed at how good this animation is. Well done MajorLink!
You took the words out of my mouth
Thank you Major Link for making this I'm gonna go play Ocarina Of Time again
What happend
When young link cries when he hears about his mother is sooo so sad considering he is only 11 dealing with all of this

"Go... And don not falter my children" the same thing Time tells his descendant Twilight.
0:18-0:21
“Go and do not falter.”
A PARENT TO HIS CHILD, AND THIS LINK SAYS THE SAME TO HIS DESCENDANT, FEEEEEEELS 😭
I didn't watch his videos in order so I started with twilight and my heart just broke even more knowing why he said that to his descendant
YOU JUST MADE ME LOVE TWILIGHT PRINCESS EVEN MORE
i wonder if ocarina of time link was proud when he saw twilight princess link and was just like😥 he reminds me of me
Oh man, so heartbreaking...
what is the name of the video with Twilight Princess? I can’t find it! :’/
DinsFlame1993 It’s in the Twilight Princess game in one of the training sequences with the Hero’s Shade.
You made Link cry. Which makes me cry. Now we all cry.
that's right
True!
Hoy i didnt cry And i am a Zelda fan
I actually don't think I cried much but I felt teary eyed. Videos like these get me. Especially when zelda related.
Yea ;( ......
*sniffle* Its just a game. Its just a game. I am not weak... I will.. Nnoot.. *link cries* WAAAAAHHH!!!
My shop is now open
10 rupees for one tissues

Bruh how do you make a grown ass college football player almost cry?
I'm in the exact same boat, I play Football AND Rugby, and this damn near brought me to tears as well. It's masterful...
Almost? have you no soul
Almost??? I did cry
Yours truly....,
A grown ass football player
?
What does playing football and rugby has to do with this?
I was expecting him to say, “go, and do not falter, *my son*”.
Same
A last message 🥺
Me: pfff... HA! You think you can make me cry!? That will never happen-
Video: **shows link crying**
Also me: -well freak.- **cries like a baby**
Words cannot even begin to describe how great this video is. both kindness and sadness are in this video. It's hard not to cry.
720 likes and no dislikes. That's how you know a creator cares about the quality of their content. Very well done
MajorLink You made me CRY.... Thank you i lost my father this year March 6,2018 he lost his battle with cancer.. It was a curse we couldnt break :'( in the end a son will bury his father and horror his wishes Thank You MajorLink For all your hard work ill be sharing this everywhere and for those who read this dont take time for granted because you never know when you might have to say good bye for the last time...
I'm sorry for your
Loss 🤧😢
Thank You MajorLink That pin means a lot to me and brighten up my day Thank you for all you hard work man please never stop making videos... now im on a mission to like every video you posted
"Life is going to get tougher from now on.." so true
God bless you and your family.
I wish you well, Mr.Wallice!!!
This is why I imagine that when Link beats Ganon, he's thinking - "THIS is for Hyrule! (first swing), THIS is for it's people! (second swing), and THIS is for the Great Deku Tree! (stab).
*Holds R and mashes A*
Wished that he was the spirit instead of Sarah.
Same 😭
Makes the fight with Ganondorf feel so much more personal when you watch this and remember that the great deku tree was like a father to Link and was the one to watch him die right before his eyes.
Yeah... 😡
What a way to set up the real tone of the game huh. The sadder parts were either heavily implied through dialogue or displayed through symbolism. My take is the 5 temples as an adult are representitive of the stages of grief link starts to go through.
That's why the water temple is a confusing labrynth--love is complicated, with extreme highs and lows and temperamental. Depression and general sadness are represented using blue. Dark link shows up here because link is essentially depressed by this point, trying to stay strong and afloat but he can't. ruto tries to reassure him not to be discouraged and that Zelda is indeed alive. Its not quite enough though.
He runs back to childhood one more time in an effort to make himself feel better and decides on a harmless romp at the bottom of the well. That simple curiousity had him stumble into a place where he saw things he shouldn't have. His curiousity was rewarded alright, but at a price. The experience hardened him and stamped out what was left of his innocence and ignorance. The water temple started by drowning him but now he's in a black hole; he becomes numb, unsure whether he should be loyal to the cause anymore. It's not until he gets to the end of spirit temple for him to accept everything after seeing how heartless the gerudo were to their own and to others. How barbaric and primative they seemed in comparison.
But what i never see brought up is that twinrova is the first full blown human(oid) boss link faces and legitimately kills--ganondorf's _guardians/mothers_ to be precise. Like how ganondorf took the great deku tree from him; it is an eye for an eye. the real final test of becoming an adult was link's willingness in taking another life. If he could do that then he was ready to not hold back against ganondorf.
This is majoras best work. This is the incentive for ocarina of time on the switch online expansion
"I don't care, he killed my dad"
And took the blame from the rest of the village too...
Superb tie-in to the Hero’s Shade’s last words.
I forget what he says.
What did he say?
The hero's Shade had said and I quote: "Go...and do not falter.....my child". He had said that to the hero of Twilight when you complete all the secret arts.
P.S. when I was playing Twilight Princess and heard him say that I cried so hard but was relieved he could rest in peace..
A neat animation. A pretty neat spin on this scene. I hope you do scene from Skyward Sword soon.
But with HW models
When the Deku Tree mentioned Link's Mom, my heart broke as he started to cry💔😖😢😢 keep up the good work.
regional.at. edith I know! When that happened, the only think going through me head was, “ See that big, bold line? Right there, you see it? Oh? Cause you just crossed it!!!!
And whoever disliked this is heartless
regional.at. edith no kidding
Whoever is his mom, I know she is proud of him...
5:40 man, i was expecting him to run to the Great Deku Tree. Bawling and hugging his roots . Oh well.
OH MY GOSH, THE ORIGINAL GAME NEVER MADE THIS EVENT SO SAD LIKE THIS! Like when u get the kokiri emerald link is standing happy as can be while this video it’s the most appropriate expression in this event. ALSO, THE MUSIC CHOICE! Great video adaptation!
Edit: if that makes sense
Link never smiles in the game
@@unhelpful_imp Actually when he opens a chest he smiles xddd
@@ajsd5736 oh I never saw that oof
mucho texto
He smiles because he doesn't really understand what the spiritual stone actually is and supposed to be. He just thinks it's a valuable stone the bad man wanted so much but failed to take.
oh....this is so good....why dont you have more subscribers?...also keep up the amazing work
Because people are more focused worrying about Pewdiepie and T-series which is disgraceful compared to this beauty.
No lie I was viewing this video on PS4 and I press "X" when the chat dialogue came up and felt really stupid lol
"Go and do not falter my children." Funny, Hero's Shade said something like that.
Like father like son...
He said go do not falter my child, so close enough, right?
@Jordan Robshaw yea he is according to research...aka UA-cam :)
Just imagine a new Zelda game called The Legend of Zelda: The Hero Of Time
@Jordan Robshaw I mean a sequel that fixes the timeline split in OoT. A canon HW with the hero of time. Just wishful thinking.
wow you guys replied 15 hours ago
Jordan Robshaw 15 hours ago when i replied
Yaaasss
I just wanna wanna know what happened to the awesome (yet annoying) Navi
It's been twenty years since I first saw the original scene as a child and I have seen it countless times until this day,but you still manage to make me cry with your version. I'm looking forward to your next masterpiece ;)
I grew up without a father. The
Deku tree filed a hole in my life even if it was just for a few days. I was totally shook when he died. This brought tears to me but they feel more healing then painful.
The fuckin deku tree really i dont believe you
@@bobasbountytv1572 dude that was a good comment, and you just crapped all over it.
Boba'sBounty TV what a party pooper ;-;
Fake people can mean a lot to someone
@@bobasbountytv1572 put it this way, if it's true then this dude has some serious attachment issues that is beyond what anyone in this world has ever known. There was 0 character development with this stupid tree when the game came out so we didn't even know that the deku tree meant much at all. Especially with links emotionless face hence the point of this animation. Ridiculous attachment issues or this kid is fishing for online sympathy. If what the kid says is true about their dad being gone my condolences though.
Man, I swear. These choke me up every time. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. What an astounding feeling.
P.s. You need to get a salary for this kind of quality work.
6:05 "Life is going to get tougher from now on. Be the change you want to see in this world."
My God that struck a chord in me like no tomorrow. I shed a tear when I read that, no joke.
At 5:47 Link is like, "Don't you talk about my mother! I'll cry! And don't you dare die too! I'll cry some more!" That face could be such a meme face
I'll never get tired of your videos about the Hero of Time.
I just wish we'll be able to translate them one day, to share them with the rest of the world.
Well I can...but only one language
This was so emotional... God how do you do it MajorLink? I love all your videos. They're so engaging to watch. They take me on emotional roller-coasters. Thank you for making this, as it makes this scene feel so much more important than the game does.
He always does that, & I'm always left in tears and speechless. Bravo
it's cause nintendo made us cry with 64 bit polygons.... Unreal Engine 4 only makes it more impactful simply beautiful
Link makes the cutest faces! XD
Mushroom Head yeah true
Never before has I cared too much about the Great Deku Tree. Usually, he was just there as the one to guide you at the very beginning. But now, I'm actually sad and getting those feelings I should've had long ago
Beautiful work!
R.I.P. Great Deku Tree (1998-2011)
I lost my mom 4 years ago in an accident. She loved the legend of zelda and she owned every game. They were her favorite. She instilled that love in me at a vary young age. This video truly touched my heart
I love it !
I always thought it was ridiculous how Link wouldn't give a fuck about the Deku Tree's death in the game... Well in OoT it's almost like he doesn't give a fuck about anything lmaoo
ZeldaTPFan you’re correct. I think OoT link is the most expressionless link in the franchise
Sometimes even after death it's hard to show emotion I sometimes have this too
@@19STARLIGHT92 Yeah, it happened to me too.
But one week later, I was crying like a baby.
Link is just emotionless in the game
@@sinistrecigogne He's trying to look strong for others, I guess -kinda like BoTW Link-
@@browniethekitten.6466 Doesn't work because literally NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE when the Great Deku Tree died. And even then, it would takes time before actually being able to keep his emotions for himself. He's still 12 years old, unlike BotW Link (who I also find too emotionless, but that's another subject)
This is funny because I'm also working on a video between Young Link and the Great Deku Tree talking about his mother haha...Btw Great Job MajorLink! You have amazing talent ! Keep up the good work my friend :) I can't wait to watch more from you !
Your friend,
R-w@n
I saw your post about that as I was editing the text! And inspired some of the dialogue !
Also! If u have an email hit me up, I have a question I’d love to ask!
Thanks again!
@@MajorLinkLink's face on the 2:00 mark is absolutely hilarious! 🤣🥰👍
**ugly sobbing**
Your videos always make me sO EmoTioNAL qwQ
Keep it up TwT👍
Bro normally these animations don't usually make me cry but when Link started crying I started tearing up. This is so sad and beautiful
Love the elements of this story. First, I love how emotional Link is. He was mainly stoic in the game. Here, we can see Link acting like a kid. He smiles, he sits down in excitement at hearing a story, and he shows grief at the death of the Great Deku Tree. The way Link chokes back tears when the Great Deku Tree mentions his mother is heartbreaking. I love the ending where Link bows to the Great Deku Tree in respect and gratitude before leaving the forest. You can see that this is the moment where Link loses his innocence as he starts his long journey to become the Hero of Time. Thank you for that hard work, MajorLink.
who's cutting those onions
Me
My mom
Ganondorf...
This is magnificent. i've seen the cutscene in game dozens of times since childhood but this is so special. you captured the emotion of it so well I'm tearing up watching this. Thank you for making this.
This is so amazing Major Link,at first I laughed so hard when Link can’t balance while teleporting.
Your the Best at making these awesome videos and I liked it when it you added some emotions!
I really miss to play Ocarina of Time,this game made me cry and happy sometimes.
Omg I can’t believe you added the Heroes shade’s last word!!
I hope you keep it up the good work at making these Zelda Videos!😄😄
😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You somehow took a meh scene from my favorite game and made it heart wrenching. Thought when people do this, I usually prefer when they stick to the original. But I would take this over the original any day
Me crying over a fictional, talking tree? Its more likely than you think
Man, only skyward sword and the final trailer of breath of the wild had made me cry, until you :'c
Nice work!
Wow! This was very emotional!😢 Good job MajorLink! 😉
This needs to be a scene from an OoT remake
"i will not fail."
"dies to ganon in the fallen timeline"
One of Link's most vulnerable and sad scenes. I love how you actually made him show emotion. Unlike the original game, where we get a blank, confused stare. So sad. Made even sadder by the cutscene in Windwaker when Link meets the Deku Tree. So much crying.
i was waiting for someone to say that!!!
A blank confused stare is equally appropriate though. He wouldn't understand why his efforts didn't change the outcome. Why ask him to destroy the source of the problem when the deku tree is already, irreversibly dying from it?
The great deku tree wanted assurance that link had and maintained his courage in the face of adversity regardless of the outcome.
@@ShadowSkyX agreed... and also he was still just a kid (like 10?11?) when he did that so it makes this “blank, confused stare” more sense I think
And then he rolls away
Gets notification, sees title....
Starts crying intensely....
Oh, me two!
You know this dude was tearin up when he mispelled Beacause
:Trollface:
*I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!*
WE'RE ALL CRYING!
I’m crying😭
*NO YOU'RE CRYING!* -tries to hold in tears-
@@ThePixieEmerald How do we achieve emotional stability like yours?!
İm not i have experriensed this when my age was 1 i lost my father this is why i don't cry
I have never saw a animation or game that has link crying, seeing this makes me feel grateful that link finally shows some expressions for us
I just started to introduce your videos to my sons with this one, and my 5yo boy cried at the death of great deku tree. Man, you have such talent to share emotions…
those who didnt cry aint zelda fans
true i cryed
I loved the video i 100% oot magora and beetween worlds and i dint cry
I didn't cry... but I was choked up...
guess im not a Zelda fan then
I didn't cry because I ain't no bitch
IM NOT CRYING.
YOUR CRYING.
WE’RE CRYING BECAUSE YOUR CUTTING ONIONS.
YOU'RE* YOU'RE*

I stopped everything I was doing to watch this!
EDITED: there were a few spelling errors which I kept seeing, but overall it was a great video. The visuals and audio are excellent (as always). Keep up the good work!
same
You changed Deku's last words into what would become that of The Hero's Shade... That's amazing... to see this Link had such a connection to his guardian that he encouraged his own son with such words of wisdom.
You literally made me cry not even kidding, But I'm all grown and I know it's hard to loose someone..you love very much.
I honestly love this so much. I feel like I’m the actual game they really glossed over this scene and it lost a lot of the emotional significance it could’ve had. You definitely did it the justice it deserved :D
See this Nintendo, if you ever make a remake again with OoT, look at this man who made these videos cause its so beautiful with expression, moments with grief and happiness, this i will never skip a cutscene with causs its amazing, MajorLink dont stop making these kind of videos cause your amazing of what you do.
I mean i imagine you making the Farewell of Fi more Heartwarming, that will make me cry.
I'm not crying, i just have Deku Tree pollen in my eyes.
This scene always gets me, but now when its animated even better, the music is more touching and Link has so much character in his facial expressions.. It got me in the heart good! TT^TT
The way this video induces emotion enough to make most people cry is masterful; for the first part, the script is totally familiar and you think it's just gonna be an animated version of a classic cutscene in the game. The music in this half is unfamiliar.
But then it switches! Suddenly, the script becomes fresh and unfamiliar and far more emotional, when the Deku Tree calls them family, and the music becomes familiar Zelda music which in itself has such power over us through association, not to mention this is when Link starts crying and BOOM, we're all crying.
That's amazing! You made me cry. Thanks for this video!
STOP MAKING ME CRY DANG IT TnT
Why😭
Why, why did the Great Deku Tree have to die?! It was one of the best parts of the Game! Nice Animation by the way, keep up the good work!
Oh. My. God. When The Great Deku Tree mentions Link's mother and the music just gets louder! I get goosebumps every time. To be honest, I think this is the most emotional animation you created.
Even tho i never played Ocarina of Time, I couldn’t stop crying at the Deku Tree’s words... I’m educating myself through these animations and as a big Zelda fan, I can’t thank you enough for your hard work. It’s so beautiful
You've gotten much better at your animation skills. Glad to see you keep improving even when the finished product looks amazing. I could very well see this being a cutscene in Ocarina of Time. Keep up the good work. I wonder how the Hero's Shade would react if he were to meet Navi after Twilight Princess. Think you'd be up to the task, MajorLink?
That moment when a single UA-cam notification immediately makes your day.
Great video, as always!!!
Even with the stale heart of mine, you made me cry for the first time in years... and for that I am thankful.
STOP MAKING ME CRY YOU WONDERFULL AND MAGIC PERSONN
I'm not crying because sometimes when I'm sad... .WATER COMES OUT OF MY EYES!!
SCREEEEEEE LINK IS SUCH A CUTIEEEEEEEE NOOOOOOOO ITS SAAAAAAAAADDDDD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MEEEEEEEEE
Link showing emotion makes this so much better, plus the animation is far superior to the original.
two things: 1. THAT WAS SO SAD!!! U R GOOD AT UR JOB!! 2. u should do a part 2 of Masked Courage in one of ur next videos
"go... and do not falter... my children." - the great deku tree to link and navi
"go... and do not falter... my son." - link to his descendent
im crying
Major Link when I was younger I would play ocarina of time with my grandmother watching me she had just gotten really bad sick and I was not able to beat the first that first area due to her passing I was 8 at the time she passed so when I tried again on her behalf I finally cried so hard when I lost the great deku tree too. I am crying again now and I'm 27 years old.....Thank you for all of your hard work.
I was lowkey expecting you to wiggle adult link into it somehow with him visiting the deku tree, possibly ending on him seeing a new sprout and smiling. Rip.
The way you made this just made the moment so much more emotional. And I just got over Xenoblade Chronicles. Awesome work man. Please make more
0:56 That's so adorable! 💙
This is BEAUTIFUL. It actually made me cry....
This reminds me of my aunt. She died due to illness, and it was hard hearing about her. It was hard that I’ll never see her again and have a chance to say goodbye to her. Well, she’s gone now and I’m truly going to miss her. I heard it from my mom, saying that her blood pressure was dropping and she was rushed to the hospital, but her heart stopped beating. I can’t believe that she’s gone. Thank you Tita, for everything.
Why did this make me cry😭😭😭😭
Probably because of the music and the expressions in the characters. You feel sympathetic for them.
0:53-0:58
OH my god that was SO CUTE.
Also, these are amazing. Like the only thing I think that need some work is some minor tweaking in the spellcheck and grammar.
If you want, I could peer review these for you.
Just let me know if you have a Discord or something.
When Link started to cry, I was like, "Don't! Don't! Don't! Goddammit... Don't!" :'(
Thank you for reminding me of my younger years playing OOT. You reimagined this powerful scene in such a way it resonated with me. Indeed, I got a lump in my throat.
You have a natural talent for animation. God bless you and keep showing the world this wonderful gift. You have my utmost respect.
that was the most powerful lump i ever felt,.. so powerful it forced tears out of my eye sockets and i couldnt breath cause its... idk sad and beautiful. You always make your viewers cry and happy. Your the best MajorLink. 8 Tears were shed in this videos and yes i count tears
Another absolutely stunning video. I couldn’t click fast enough! You’re spoiling us. Now Nintendo’s work won’t be enough. Compared to your videos Breath of the Wild sequences are boring and flat. I’d love to see what you could do to expound on those. Nintendo needs to hire you.
You're trying to express all these feelings, and your framing and layout is great, but the writing (and the music, no offense to your amazing composer) is all just too melodramatic. I love your efforts and I don't want you to stop, but I do want to see you improve, especially in terms of writing. It's so amazing that you can do all of this hard, hard work and come out with beautiful end products!
I'd say this too. Also a few grammatical mistakes here and there take away from the overall experience. If I were the creator, I would send the text for proof-reading to someone first.
Overall, amazing animation!
I thought the music was perfect.
Really enjoy watching your videos!
This was so beautiful. I honestly never felt more sad for this tragic moment in OOT than I do now. This was in my feed and I'm damn glad it was. You're so talented. Quite honestly I see this being that moment, should the game be completely remade from scratch now. Link's expressions combined with the added dialogue just makes it hit all that much harder. The way I feel it was originally intended to hit but something was missing.
Dude these animations you do are absolutely amazing.
OMG Im crying😭. It gets me every time. I love Zelda and you so much. Never stop
This reminds me of my grandmother thank you Major Link I really missed her so much keep up the good work..... T-T
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Brought tears to a brother’s eyes. Didn’t know I could cry as much as I did after watching this video. Keep up the insanely great work and make sure you send your availability to Marc next week
Jesus, if that was in the game, I’d cry ever new game.
Heck, if all the animations you did were in the game, I’d be crying for a whole playthrough.
Please keep making me cry. I will not mind if you do make me shed some tears. Animations, new lines and on-point music choices makes me see these events from another angle.
I have seen this scene a hundred of times, but this animation just make me feel like the first time I saw it. Just looking at Link sitting down so happily, feeling that something bad will happen; the idea that Link has seen the Great Deku Tree as his father, it just hurts alot. Great animation, it's officially one of my great favorites...😢💓
Amazing . It had more heart than the scene from the game.
