    Which Zelda game has the best Master Sword scenes?

  • @lilscooter93
    @lilscooter93 3 місяці тому +36

    i will say pulling the master sword in totk definitely felt the most epic, but there is somberness to it that the other games don't have quite as much. like in most of the other games it feels like a huge accomplishment, a big heroic moment and a symbol that link has taken another step in getting stronger for his journey. in totk, you get that feeling kind of, but more prominently is the feeling of loss. this power cost link one of the most important people -- likely _the most_ important -- in the world to him. and when he pulls the sword there is no swinging or flourishing it, just quiet contemplation before sheathing it. it is just lovely. i really enjoy these videos where you get to see all the scenes back to back and catch different things like this!

      I like the pull from BoTW better. Still somber, but with more urgency. Plus the Master Sword having a trial to pull it that if failed results in DEATH is a really good spin on the one sword that I think inspired the Master Sword: Excalibur. And side note: remember Caliburn in Sonic and the Black Knight? I did a bit of research on that name... "Caliburn" is actually another name for Excalibur.

      I'm attempting something I call the Master of Zenithia challenge. 100%, no game over. To give a glimpse at how hard it is, here's part of the challenge: All recruitable characters. The whole Big Book of Monsters filled. Every cursed equip. All knick-knacks complete. Every character at maximum level. Obtaining every Key. And the cherry on top? Taking down the superboss Estark in 15 turns or less.... all while under the threat of getting wiped out with Kamikazee. And yes, I have to recruit a Rockbomb. At least I just got my King Slime... But MAN, is it hard to level up.

      Wish we had seen a flashback showing all 7 Sages playing a concert as Daphnes conducts them when after removing the Master Sword as a foreshadowing of what Link would need to do to fully empower it. Hopefully in a future remake we'll get to witness such a scene.

      I absolutely loved Wind Waker's concept. So few games have music as a central mechanic. And the concert with Medli has almost a Zelda's Lullaby feel. No wonder Medli passed out. And that one with Makar? He's a fiddler. So. Freaking. Awesome. Brings Saria's Song back in style.

    I just realized. I thought it was kinda weird how when the Master Sword was restored, its blade looked newer at the part where it broke and was patchy but I think I get it now. They wanted to make the sword look like it got a brand new, regenerated blade, so any remaining metal on the sword's blade that never broke off WOULD look a little more dull. Its kinda like when the scab on your arm or leg finally falls off and leaves a faded spot on your arm to remember where the wound was, but the rest of your skin that was unharmed looks completely fine. I love how they made the sword actually LOOK like it had a small amount of age to it, but with the brand new blade, you actually have a clean, pure, new, unstained sword

    • @ThePikachunianRebel
      @ThePikachunianRebel 3 місяці тому +2

      I can actually see why in BoTW your health drains when attempting the pull... The Master Sword is using Link's life force to complete the restoration. I've come to the conclusion that Link gaining the Triforce of Courage has given him sacred power. The weapon he chooses is merely a conduit for this power. Even so, with the Master Sword and its holy power combined with that of Link, gives him the ability to destroy evil. It's also why the Master Sword is usually the weapon that allows access to Sword Beams in the top-down games.

      So true it was such a waste that we didn't get something like that considering Zelda's use of the _Triforce_ to empower the Master Sword for 10.000+ years only to look exactly as it did back in Breath of the Wild. Nintendo missed a chance for an epic callback to the original Master Sword from A Link to the Past.

    The scene from Twilight Princess has always been my ultimate favourite. There is just something about the way the fog gets repelled when Link raises the sword. The way midna reacts. That music that just sounds so triumphant and intimidating. The whole scene sort of radiates this energy of "you just witnessed the power of the great godess, and she has accepted you as her chosen one". The fog rolling back and the sun coming out is like saying "this relic is so holy and important that even the very dirt makes way for it"
    I feel like the only real-world equivalent would be if someone found the holy grail or the arc of the covenant. That's the level the master sword is at. A holy relic. Proof of the godess and the prophecy's existence. Physical proof of Hyrule's religion.
    I'm not even a religious or spiritual person, but I think I can understand what being religious must feel like through how I experience Zelda.

    Visually, TP-SS-BotW-AoC-TotK have the best Master Sword design. It's so good looking.
    Musically, huge fan of TP integrating the Hero's Theme with the Ballad of Twilight.
    Mechanically, WW and AoC take the cake: Working hard to get a new sword upgrade, pulling it, and then immediately after, being able to straight up mogg on the enemies that used to give you trouble is the essence of a good power fantasy. Both games' surprisingly deep combo system helps.
