@@NutronicAtomic As in, you have unlimited tries. Zelda and Link are suspended at a certain height from a certain point onwards, meaning you can't NOT catch her.
@@TheRetenor I love the visual tricks to make you think they're still falling though. It's like when a game developer (I forgot for which game) revealed years later their horses' trotting and galloping speeds were the same and they just put speedlines and pulled the camera to make it feel faster.
@hanging_with_my_normies916 Totk main theme plays, then zelda's lullaby for couple of seconds, then the main classic legend of zelda theme plays.. You referring to that right?
The fact they had to put zelda's lullaby in this made my heart shatter. I first heard this when I was around 5 years old in 2000's playing on the Nintendo 64 I am now 21 years old and still remember it every day.
One of the greatest pieces of music in my opinion. It’s a quintessential music piece in that it immediately invokes so many feelings. I can’t help but feel something every time I happen to hear it. It’s the reason why I asked my wife if she would be ok walking down the aisle on our wedding day to it. She knows nothing of Zelda, but chose to walk to it when she could have picked anything else. Maybe she could tell what it meant to me so that’s why she did.
You have no idea how much I cried at this part seriously. this scene is basically the scene where Zelda falls and Link fails to catch her. but this time, he succeeds, and with the same arm he was going to pick her up with in the first scene. and right after that, he lovingly embraces her.
An' this was the epic final moment to the OG Legend of Zelda saga that chronologically started w/ Hylia's Hero Link promisin' to protect Her Grace (and he kept that promise in his last breath). Maybe not the end to the whole series, but the end to the OG saga AND the beginnin' to the new saga. This was the final culmination to ev'rythin' Link in Hylia's Era started w/ his selfless promise.
My favorite shot of the last catch is 0:10 A beautiful example of "Show, Don't Tell" The camera focuses on Zelda's hand and the player KNOWS what to do
The first game he was acting out of duty. In ToTK he was saving the woman he loved. She was fighting to get back to him and he was fighting to get back to her. The rest of Hyrule could burn for all he cared. It was about getting her back.
@focusedonfuture3255 tbh I think that even in back in botw Link was fighting all those countless battles to save Zelda. My evidence is that in the Japanese version of the game, we get to see Link's "journal" in the form of the adventure log. In his entry after beating the quest "Captured memories", he explicitly states something along the lines of "I want to see her smile again withe these eyes of my own". It goes to show how much Link deeply cared for Zelda even in the first game. He might have been acting out of duty at first, but after retrieving his memories of the time he spent with her, he must have had a change of heart.
It was this moment and Zelda's sacrifice that cemented this game as a legend. Thank you for memorializing this moment and all of its symbolism, meaning, and heroism.
Her changing back was Link, Rauru, and Sonia’s wish, not hers. Rauru and Sonia constantly reassured her that they would help her get home to Link, and Link’s mission from the very beginning of the game was to find Zelda, specifically his beloved princess. It doesn’t take anything away from her sacrifice at all.
Bro this ending was too perfect! My Link story was he went on a depression journey where he blames himself for not catching her that day. Wishing that he could’ve done MORE. Now life gave him a second chance to do things right. Redemption baby
That's exactly what happened. Think about how many times if you even come close to 100% on the game he does this same jump. You have 2 or 3 times in the cave on the sky island, once off the sky island to Hyrule, 3 times for the labyrinths (one each), once for the 5th sage, at least twice for each time trial to get the glide armor and more that I'm sure I'm forgetting. Link has been practicing this jump all game, beating himself up over it. Also, the whole reason you don't have armor imo is that he had to know HE could do it. No magic, no items, no armor, he had to live down his failure on his own.
The embrace Link gives Zelda right after catching him is just so impactful. With no words, Link is saying, “I’ve got you now, and I’ll never let you go ever again.”
@@RouieGutierrez What I mean is that the music, when paired with the visuals of the game and atmosphere, is its own form of storytelling. The fact that the dive's song is divided into three different phases is not some random thing, but an intentional choice with the purpose to evoke certain feelings and images in the player's head. Of course, it is up to debate whether they actually succeeded.
I love this sequence for so many reasons but narratively it is beautiful. At the beginning of the game he fails to catch her. In this sequence it’s like Link is saying he will NOT fail again! 👌
From going down and down to Ganondorf, the whole fight with him, then the climax where he turns into a dragon and flies through the skies to then see Zelda come to help you and then he saves her in the middle of a fall and takes her hand. .. EVERYTHING This makes, for me, along with the ending of Red Dead Redemption 2, Mass Effect 3, The Last of Us 1, Modern Warfare 2 (2009) one of the best endings I've experienced in a video game with almost 30 year old!
I absolutely love this part of the game. Ganondorf has been destroyed but link is not yet finished as his task as a royal knight wasn't to destroy Ganon, butt to defend the princess.
@@RouieGutierrezthey said that the music and cutscenes go along, going in chronological order, and at the end when Link finally grabs Zelda’s hand, it is synced with the clap in the song.
seeing that first time where Zelda falls and link is unable to grasp onto her made me realise the absolute burden falling upon links shoulders once again, returning from the depths of Hyrule castle without the princess must have caused so much worry for him so when this final catch scene happens the only thing he's probably thinking is "I can't fail again."
When I got to this part of the game I was so immersed that I screamed Zelda’s name out loud. It’s a little embarrassing in retrospect but it will be a memory that lasts a lifetime
To paraphrase Nero's defining moment in DMC5: "I couldn't save you, Zelda. To this day, I hate myself for not having enough strength. But this time is different! I swear! I'M NOT LETTING YOU DIE!!!"
I've never felt this feeling before.. The quality of the sound combined with the awesome compilation of clips jumpstarted something inside of me and I'm not sure what. Thank you for making this video.
01:20 I love this moment because the devs added a small shade of light below Link's eye. It looked like his tears of helplessness for not being able to catch Zelda.
I love that the same hand that was to weak to catch her in the beginning is the same one that catches her in the ending! A picture is worth a thousand words they say. No dialogue spoken and yet one of the most powerful and beautiful scenes ever!
The saga of Link and Zelda began with Zelda falling from the sky and Link being unable to save her. And now, it ends with Zelda once again falling from the sky, only this time, Link is able to save her.
The Legend of Zelda's OG cycle started w/ a guy named Link makin' a promise to protect Hylia if she needed HIS protection. That was the beginnin' where it all started before Skyward Sword startin' the rest o' the story. The story before Skyward Sword's era was the REAL Genesis. Link who was Hylia's Knight in the green tunic w/ the green hat was the first hero in the green outfit (the only one who needed the red cape to complete the look), then Skyward Sword's Link had his green outfit many years later. Now the OG cycle ends w/ Breath o' the Wild/Tears o' the Kingdom's Link the Hero o' the Wild kilin' Ganondorf w/ the Master Sword (w/ Ganondorf in the Demon Dragon form), then savin' his Zelda's life again. This final catch after killin' Ganondorf's dragon form in Tears o' the Kingdom was the final culmination to ev'rythin' Hylia's Chosen Hero Link started w/ his selfless promise to his woman Hylia (and the country w/ her name). AND the start to a brand new saga. The OG saga started w/ the first guy named Link and his gal named Hylia (and the fight against Demise's oppressive terrorism). An' now, the OG saga ends w/ BotW/TotK Link protectin' his Zelda in the sky dive to the water AND the lovebirds survivin' the impact together. Maybe not the end to the whole series, but the definitive end to The Legend of Zelda's OG cycle and the beginnin' to the new cycle. Just like the Norse Ragnarok as the end to the Norse Viking pantheon AND the beginnin' to a new cyle. And the Saint John's Revelation as the last book in the Bible w/ the promise of a new beginnin' fer the whole Cosmos (a fresh start w/ no more wars, no more terrorism). Link in Hylia's Era was the very first Link 'cuz he came before the rest as the Alpha. Now Botw/TotK Link was the Omega to end the OG saga and the new ta start a new Legend of Zelda cycle. Like how Yeshua's the Alpha AND Omega to the whole story.
When I first saw this ending, I was like, "Woah! Why is Link in midair??" Then I saw Zelda falling, and Link diving down to save her, and I was like "Wait.... THIS IS LINK'S SECOND CHANCE! HE'S GOING TO DO WHAT HE COULDN'T DO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME!!" That's when I realised, just like the dragons on the logo of TOTK, everything's come full circle.
Everytime when I listen to this music it’s me cry after destroying ganondorf, link and Zelda falling again and link catching Zelda beautiful Totk is game of the year
After seeing the failed catch so many times rewatching that original trailer, words can’t describe how satisfying it was to finally see the final catch come to fruition
You played the game so intensly, you discovered most of the secrets, retrieved the Master Sword and the game finishes itself like THIS! Man I was bawling my fucking eyes out! Music and scenary were OUTSTANDING. I wish I could delete this memory and experience it all over again for the first time!!!
Like, they really put you in Link's shoes here. You just defeated Ganon, and you watched Zelda turn back to normal. All of a sudden, you and Zelda are falling, and they tell you one thing, dive to Zelda. They don't tell you if you can fail or what happens if you don't make it. Your only focus is getting to Zelda. Like, you don't even think twice. Your instincts kick in, and you just dive to her
I screamed yeah!!!!!! As i fell. What a full complete circle. I cried as i immediately pressed the A button. Nintendo, you OUTDID yourselves. So simple the action yet Iconic. You damn did it. You surpassed ocarina. AGAIN.
As someone who has played the series since childhood, with OoT and approaching my 30s, I can't understate how emotionally impactful this scene and those last few seconds actually were to me. It somehow captured all of those moments I spent with the series, all of those memories, and brought all of that back in just a tiny emotional moment. I was legit tearing up when Link's theme started playing. Say you what you want about the game, but moments like this made the entire journey worth it.
Every time I watch this I get chills and tear up. NO questions asked this is the best ending to a video game and is the best game of all time in my opinion. This really hit home for me when I saw it for the first time, being a crazy Zelda fan. I LOVE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA!!!
I think I'm gonna come back to this beautifully montaged video every once in a while for the rest of my life. Just to get the goosebumps again. Thank you!
Man I love everything about this song!! This is a weird tip for anyone that is studying, but I love to put this song while im almost done doing homework or just studying in for an exam. It doesn’t even have to be this song, just any “last battle” song from a game. It gives you the perfect kick to be done faster :)
I think this is one of the most emotional moments in a Zelda game. The changing of the music, the classic Zelda theme and the fact it mirrors the start of the game, but this time Link catches Zelda. Ah it's perfect!
Absolument fantastique. Votre montage est aussi bien mis ensemble, j'adore le moment où Link tente de rattraper Zelda à la fin et vous avez fait en sorte d'aussi incorporer le moment où Link échoue de l'attraper au début du jeu.
I like how Link reached out his arm to grab Zelda regardless of how fucked up it is and how painful it probably feels to even move , let alone try to save another person from falling .
True masterpiece. One of those stories that change you after experiencing them. `You can feel that those who made the game, did it with passion to give to others and not take praise.
I actually really like that this game puts finding Zelda in particular front and center. It makes for a more personal and emotional story. BoTW is about saving the world, but in the beginning, Zelda is no more than a mysterious voice and the relationship between Link and Zelda is clearly early days in flashbacks. Meanwhile, ToTK is, at its core, a lot more about Link and Zelda's enduring faith in and dedication to each other. The rest of the plot is just the driver pulling them apart and bringing them back together. You can tell even from the beginning scenes that there is a familiarity and affection there, from them having spent time together and worked on rebuilding the kingdom side by side. This is not only such a triumphant moment of redemption for Link, but a genuinely touching reunion between two people who have been on separate journeys headed in the same direction, waiting to finally meet again.
I remember gasping when I realized I was in control of Link during this moment. I wasn’t expecting it at all. It was ultimately something so small but in the moment, it moved mountains for me. This ending couldn’t have been more perfect for me.
I am not even a big Zelda fan, and yet, the entire Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom storyline is one of the best stories I think I have ever seen. Along with this being the best Zelda ending that I have seen. I cried during this scene. It takes a lot to make me cry.
It's not until you see this ending that you understand why it's called The Legend of Zelda and not The Legend of Link. Awesone !!! No es hasta que ves este final que comprendes porque se llama The Legend of Zelda y no The legend of Link. Hermoso !!!

He held her because they were going to fall head first into water from really high altitude and he was trying to protect her from the impact.

What a full complete circle. I cried as i immediately pressed the A button.
Nintendo, you OUTDID yourselves.
So simple the action yet Iconic.
You damn did it. You surpassed ocarina. AGAIN.
As someone who has played the series since childhood, with OoT and approaching my 30s, I can't understate how emotionally impactful this scene and those last few seconds actually were to me. It somehow captured all of those moments I spent with the series, all of those memories, and brought all of that back in just a tiny emotional moment. I was legit tearing up when Link's theme started playing. Say you what you want about the game, but moments like this made the entire journey worth it.
This is a masterpiece
I wish i could play this game for the first time again - one of my favorite zelda's yet!!!
Every time I watch this I get chills and tear up. NO questions asked this is the best ending to a video game and is the best game of all time in my opinion. This really hit home for me when I saw it for the first time, being a crazy Zelda fan. I LOVE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA!!!
I think I'm gonna come back to this beautifully montaged video every once in a while for the rest of my life. Just to get the goosebumps again. Thank you!
Man, in 10 years I am going to be soooo nostalgic for this game. It’s literally my hyperfixation 🥲👍🏻
That editing was smooth
I have nostalgia for all my favorite games, but TOTK is something truly special. It’s my favorite game ever.
Man I love everything about this song!! This is a weird tip for anyone that is studying, but I love to put this song while im almost done doing homework or just studying in for an exam. It doesn’t even have to be this song, just any “last battle” song from a game. It gives you the perfect kick to be done faster :)
Nintendo's games really bring out tears to me when it comes to music and story, thanks a lot
I think this is one of the most emotional moments in a Zelda game. The changing of the music, the classic Zelda theme and the fact it mirrors the start of the game, but this time Link catches Zelda. Ah it's perfect!
I actually cried tears of pure joy during this moment and just kept looping the cutscene
As a lifelong Zelda fan, I sobbed during this scene
Hen I must ask why a supposed life long zelda fan enjoys an ending that ruins the game’s story…..or what was left of it that was good
This is the best ending that i have ever witnessed in a video game.
回想なんて入れられたら、もう涙腺崩壊するわ
I cried with this ending and this edit
This moment lives in my head rent free, thus I must return to enjoy this beautifully edited version of it. Thank you!
This has to win Game of the year it just have to win
It will man from all the twists and turns Totk will win game of the year
this will be iconic in the future
The best zelda ending by far
Tears of the kingdom may have its fair share of issues but this made it worth the adventure.
wow congratulations on the edition, perfectly picturing how everything started and how it ended
first time I cried in a game
Absolument fantastique. Votre montage est aussi bien mis ensemble, j'adore le moment où Link tente de rattraper Zelda à la fin et vous avez fait en sorte d'aussi incorporer le moment où Link échoue de l'attraper au début du jeu.
I love how this video gets more and more views as more people finish the game

I like how Link reached out his arm to grab Zelda regardless of how fucked up it is and how painful it probably feels to even move , let alone try to save another person from falling .
That's one of the best scenes of a game ever! The connection between the beginning and the ending. Amazing!
The only way I can see this being more epic is all the sky islands were falling around them at the same time
True masterpiece. One of those stories that change you after experiencing them. `You can feel that those who made the game, did it with passion to give to others and not take praise.
I always thought Link and Zelda weren’t meant to be together- just bonded by fate. But I love them in botw and totk and totally ship them!!
This is my favorite ending for a video game ever. Looks like I’m not alone judging by the comments
Thanks for not advertising your own application while sharing this song, it's unfortunately rare these days.
I can never listen to this song without absolutely WEEPING
The editing in this video is beautiful, also this version of Zelda’s Lullaby is probably my favorite.
환상적인 편집 감사합니다 저는 눈물을 흘리고 있어요
I actually really like that this game puts finding Zelda in particular front and center. It makes for a more personal and emotional story. BoTW is about saving the world, but in the beginning, Zelda is no more than a mysterious voice and the relationship between Link and Zelda is clearly early days in flashbacks. Meanwhile, ToTK is, at its core, a lot more about Link and Zelda's enduring faith in and dedication to each other. The rest of the plot is just the driver pulling them apart and bringing them back together. You can tell even from the beginning scenes that there is a familiarity and affection there, from them having spent time together and worked on rebuilding the kingdom side by side.
This is not only such a triumphant moment of redemption for Link, but a genuinely touching reunion between two people who have been on separate journeys headed in the same direction, waiting to finally meet again.
Pinche canción bien chingona, se me erizan los pelos de los huevos de lo poderosa que está
This is 100% what should play at TGA when this game fucking WINS
When is the game awards?
@@jonlopez2426 december :D
1:10 They played the thing.
POV me 😢😢💥😢😢😭😭😭🤕
MASTER PIECE
I remember gasping when I realized I was in control of Link during this moment. I wasn’t expecting it at all. It was ultimately something so small but in the moment, it moved mountains for me. This ending couldn’t have been more perfect for me.
It's such a short moment, but you managed to capture all of the gravity behind it in a minute and a half.
This ending brought a tear to my ear. First time in a long time since a game made me feel that way.
I am not even a big Zelda fan, and yet, the entire Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom storyline is one of the best stories I think I have ever seen. Along with this being the best Zelda ending that I have seen. I cried during this scene. It takes a lot to make me cry.
It's not until you see this ending that you understand why it's called The Legend of Zelda and not The Legend of Link. Awesone !!!
No es hasta que ves este final que comprendes porque se llama The Legend of Zelda y no The legend of Link. Hermoso !!!
Best Nintendo game ever (so far)
