Which Zelda game should I cover next?
Be sure to like & subscribe, really helps the channel out!
Could you do Link's Awakening? It's one of my favorite Zelda games ever.
Windwaker! It's so happy and upbeat, but the backstory is so tragic and sad.
I love wind waker! I’ve never played it and haven’t seen much about it but I love the story and the art style ♥️
Video doesnt really do anything of value, its just basically you saying "a thing is here and this was a storybeat now lets move on"..
Nothing creative or additive is happening....
Windwaker! Hasn't really been covered enough, so it deserves some recognition
Personally speaking, I think the Snowpeak Ruins are my favourite place in Twilight princess. The atmosphere, the mansion, the mystery surrounding the place... All combined it creates a memorable moment.
Snowpeak and Lak Hylia really pulled numbers on me. Those are areas in the game where I would return to and just chill. Listen to music and explore some. A similar feeling to the Observatory in Majoras Mask
Hell yeah when it comes to Majora's Mask the observatory really stands out! I happen to listen to its music from time to time 🙂@@ajj6287
And the adorable yeti couple! Can't forget our giant furry friends!
I like the idea of going over the older games before hitting the newer ones, for a series like this.
I thought you'd also include Skull Kid's promise in that last section. The whole reason he challenged THIS Link was because he made a promise to the Hero of Time that he would protect the Master Sword.
is that the same skull kid from Majoras Mask?
@typa8909 iirc yes, that is the very same Skull Kid. It's been years since I came across that info, so it may be incorrect, but I believe this is actually true
Now the biggest question remains:
15:43 does it have mysterious blue twilight energy running through it?
I think it might have this mysterious blue twilight energy running through it
My favorite part was seeing there's mysterious blue twilight energy running through it.
Are you sure? I don’t know where you got the idea that there’s a mysterious blue twilight energy running through it…
I love Twilight Princess, each place is unique in its own way and the art style makes the world of Hyrule in Twilight Princess beautiful despite the land being 'empty' it still feels full and it's a shame people dislike this game now due to where Zelda is now with totk and what's next to come
It really is a great looking game, still my fav Zelda after all these years
Twilight Princess, in my opinion, is the best Zelda game ever, or at least one of the best games. Its a shame hearing that people dont really like it. It has its flaws but it has way more charm than TOTK will ever have
@@leolia4994 I completely agree! It something different and l love the dark energy is has with "light characters"
It was my first Zelda title I played & grew up with watching. I do wish for another game like that but I know it won't happen 😔
Same. I’m glad people are getting TP the recognition it deserves. 🐺
I wish we get a game similar to it in terms of art style and how unique each location was. Hell I wouldn't mind if it was a smaller map if it meant having more unique and lore heavy locations.
15:42 Wow, it sure does have this mysterious blue twilight energy running through it!
so much so, i just had to say it twice! xD
One thing I found interesting is in the TP concept art there was art of an "old man Impa" there's not much about how he'd have played into the game but I assume he'd have lived with Impaz in the hidden village. Random tid bit but fun to me.
Also loved the video
twilight princess content >>>>
super excited for this series!!!
yay, happy to hear!!
TP supremacy!
I like how the temple of time is found in the sacred grove which is on an elevated plateau, slightly northwest of Faron, just like in BOTW. Like they are meant to be the same location, or something. Really, the BotW map is almost like an expanded version of the TP map in lots of ways. Castle Town location, Kakariko, Hebra/Snow Peak, Gerudo desert, coliseum/amphitheater, etc.
It'd be AWESOME if Nintendo brought back the Twili and the Twilight Realm. It's so underused!
It really is. Imagine all twilight abilities Nintendo could make, and all the world changes you could get from twilight leaking or so
Good idea. Also bringing Lorule back. Imagine in TOTK if instead of the Depths being what they are it was Lorule.
Twilight Princess is just the best
I think that city in the sky is actually skyloft from skyward Sword I also think the sacred grove isn’t just the temple of time but also hyrule castle town from ocarina of time
If so, how did the land change so drastically in 100 years
@@kagari1426 well, it could *possibly* be that the war that happened between hyrule and ganondorf left thr kingdom in ruins and the lost woods got to expand even more so by this, the hylians had to build a new hyrule castle and a new castle town
Starting with the best game ofc, great video!
The lore behind Arbiter's Grounds has always intrigued me and it's easily one of my favourite dungeons. The boss fight against Stallord is ridiculously fun.
Thanks a lot! The AG lore really is super intriguing!!
Great video! Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are tied for my favorite Zelda games of all time so I’m so glad you went over it!
Also, I just realized something. In the peaceful beginning of Twilight Princess, when you’re helping around the village, the invasion on the castle is probably taking place at the same time.
You must be a Wii fan if TP and SS are your favorite Zelda games.
@@traviscunningham7062 Indeed I am!
Great vid! The fishing hole in TP is one of the coziest locations in any video game
I'm happy you're starting with my favourite Zelda game of all time 🥰
Thank you for doing this series, especially starting with Twilight Princess. For the last location, in the Sacred Grove, its said that that area was where the old Hyrule Castle town was in OoT. Where you fight the Skull Kid in the new area before heading to the Temple of Time, you will see an old fountain, which is the fountain that was shown in the center of Castle Town in OoT. As to why it was moved, even around 100 years later, is still a mystery. Also, Snowpeak Ruins and Arbiters Grounds are the BEST dungeons ever in the Zelda series!
Pretty sure its been longer than 100 years, but 150-200 at most. The change and expansion of geography and architecture of Gerudo Desert, Lake Hylia, Zora's Domain, Goron City and their respective dungeons. What became of OoT's Hyrule Castle and Kakariko Village looking to be what is now Sacred Grove and the Hidden village.
Les go!
I got here nine seconds after release of the vid loll
No cause it says 5 minutes ago and your comment says 4 minutes ago so at the least 1 minute
congrats on being the first comment
OMG I NEEDED THIS SERIES!!! I love the different locations in Zelda games!
HOW TF DO I GET HERE WITHIN 10 MINUTES EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I was downstairs and I came up here to do some crocheting and whatever so I checked my phone and saw a hyrule gamer notification. It’s insane. Good thing I’m obsessed with these videoooos 🤩
I came to knit and was delighted to see this dropped just a few hours ago!
Do Ocarina next
I'm really liking the series! Twilight Princess has been on my list of games to play for a while, but after hearing about all the lore and story makes me want to see it for myself soooo bad. Also, I would love to see a video on Skyward Sword locations down the road!
I really liked the video, the overall soothing atmosphere plus talking about my favorite Zelda game was lovely, well done!
About a next installment, maybe Skyward Sword would be a good pick, it's locations are also dense with lore and interesting characters
This is just a theory I thought of a while back. The Temple of Time was likely relocated after the events of Young Link snitching on Ganondorf. When Zelda tells the King how the Temple of Time was a key to the Sacred Realm, he ordered that the temple be moved. The Royal Family used the Ocarina of Time to teleport the temple far into the woods so Ganondorf and other evil folks could never find it. Or at least so it wasn't so obvious. The stone guardian was extra security.
Edit: If they didn't use the Ocarina, then the Sages could have moved it for the same reason.
I am so happy about this!!! I've been wanting g someone to do some twilight princess focused lore for awhile I was beginning to think all hope was lost!!
I’m happy Zelda youtubers are going back to talking about the classic Zelda games. That tells me that fans want the classic formula back like I do, that gives me hope it can return. I honestly wish the whole open world thing was dropped completely, but I’m fine if they fuse both concepts somehow
The reason why they changed the formula was because of Skyward Sword not selling well on the Wii, and people were tired of Zelda being linear.
@@traviscunningham7062 No one complained with Twilight Princess or Wind Waker
@@juanmanuelcardona19 People complained about both of those games
People complained about Wind Walker’s art and Twilight Princess’s wolf mechanic.
@@traviscunningham7062 that´s stupid, those games were awesome
Great video, was nice to revisit Twilight Princess, I haven’t played it since the HD release… definitely one of the best games of all time.
Thank you! :)
Here's a fun piece of trivia, in the Twilight Princess manga Ashe tells Link that her and her father loved in the Snowpeak Ruins' mansion and that it was not only a defensive fort for guarding the mountains but a place of refuge for the royal family in case the main castle became to dangerous for them to stay.
Great video- I haven’t played this since it released- pretty cool to relive. Love the content man!
Thanks a lot, really appreciate that!
instant like for having captions ❤
🙌
As for the ruins of the Temple of Time, there are other ruins just before, I think its the original Castle Town of Ocarina of Time. Getting to the Temple of Time, you traverse quite far away from Faron to get to Ocarina's Castle Town ruins, and Temple of Time. I don't think its in Faron, but well past Faron. Even the Great Plateu in BotW is just past Hylia then you're in Faron Woods. Also the war before Twilight Princess could explain why the original Castle, Town and Temple were abandoned after being destroyed in a battle or seige.
Finally finished Twilight Princess for the first time last night after getting it on Wii U with amiibo in 2016 😂 finding your video was a treat 😁keep it up (Snowpeak and City in the sky best locations)
2:19 Yeas our fav video game nice to see someone recognizing Twilight Princess for what it is
11:16 Still weird that in the City when you look below it there is just endless Sky. Is the City in another Realm like the Twilight Realm? Or was it just Gamecube Limitations as to why we couldn't see Hyrule below us. 19:35 The funny thing is that had the Sages not done that then the Hero of Time would have gotten to face Ganondorf again.
What are the odds you upload this while I'm playing twilight princess 😭
Nice one haha, enjoy!
@@HyruleGamer It was really nice to listen to while poe hunting!! Thanks ^^!!!!!
Twilight Princess is probably my favorite Zelda game. I’ve recently got it on the Wii and I actually love the motion controls, especially because I’ve never had a GameCube.
This was great, I would love to see more of these.
The murals in Hyrule castle have been explained from what I know. They were put in by another company for the HD version without any lore in mind. At least that’s what I heard
I am definitely going to enjoy this series :)
My favorite kind of lore videos ❤ edit: I loved it. Perfectly paced and it's just so relaxing to hear the fitting music for every single location
Thanks a lot, really appreciate that!
amazing series start. TP is also my favorite; feels like home.
Thanks a lot!
Well I'm glad you're doing a video that isn't TOTK related.
it has this mysterious blue twilight light running through it

Snowpeak Ruins is my favorite dungeon in Twilight Princess due to the Level Design and Mystery of the lore. Did you know that there’s a HD Texture Pack for TP?
I’d love to see more videos like this one.
I always liked how (given the history in this branch) TP Hyrule seems to have atrophied. Because they had no big bad to fight (because OoT Link prevented disaster) Castle Town seems more opulent, and the guards are pathetic. Various mega structures like the Bridge of Hylia are falling into disrepair, and possible military outposts at the far edges of the Kingdom like Snowpeak are abandoned. Meanwhile, the Gorons have advanced their mining capabilities, and the Zora appear to have been militarized. The Gerudo (who worked with Ganondorf) appear to have been utterly displaced as a people long ago, and the desert is controlled by bands of monsters.
Thank you for this video 🖤 my favorite Zelda game !!
Thank you for watching!
Always glad to see more content on my favourite game
Happy to provide Twilight Princess content :)
Do a deep dive on Ocarina of Time please. My most favorite Zelda game and the very first one I've played. N64 era of course ^^
As always, great video, thanks ! Thumbs up !
Many thanks!
There are tons of cool places in this game! I feel like you could make a whole series just on the locations in this game
Oh absolutely, a part 2 may be in order at some point!
imagine this Hyrule castle in the open world style of Botw (yes, I know Twilight Princes is open world but Botw has more exploration)
4:49 We know what is going on with the mural. It was just the HD artist having fun making things up. It's essentially non-canon, and the artists have said so.
I like this series! I would like to see more!
would be really cool to keep this going with the older games tbh, specially Link’s Awakening, Link Between Worlds, and or the DS games
BotW/TotK already has plenty of content
Thank you for liking TP. That made a smile on my face.😊
I love the Legend of Zelda series quite possibly a bit too much, and my wife not only is fully aware but loves it and likes to send me anything she may happen across and knows full and well that if a new game comes out, we better start saving up for it cuz we're getting it day 1. That said, Twilight Princess is by far my absolute favorite. The art style, Links design, Zeldas design, Ganondorfd design, the land of Hyrule being vast and so much exploration to be done, on top of ot being one of the longest in the franchise, AND even speedrunners can just barely get sub 3 hours and lets be real, Midna is the best companion any of the Links have gotten. I have so much love for this game and it brings me so much joy when others get to enjoy it. I was also able to convince my wife to name our daughter Midna, and shes a little stinker too 😝
Really enjoyed this!!!
Thanks!
Hey, I'm early! Looking forward to Twilight Princess content from you!
Thanks, hope you enjoy!
Also my favorite thing about Twilight Princess is the scenery. It looks beautiful.
Twilight Princess is a great Legend of Zelda game!
When the game first came out, the time line wasn’t established and seriously believed Nintendo made direct sequels. I remember thinking this version of Hyrule was the one founded by Tetra and Link after WW. Its how I justified everything being so familiar but different at the same time 🤣
Let's gooo ^^
on to the Great new series.
Thanks for making it
Stay awesome ^^
Thank you, much appreciated!
I mean more than likely with all the ruins around its likely that the ruins are parts of the old castle town as the forest seems to have grown rather out of control.
If you do more, please do Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past. I love those games. I still play them to this day.
I personally love Snowpeak, especially because of Yeto, Yeta, and also the snowboarding.
15:50 it has this mysterious blue twilight energy running through it it has this mysterious blue twilight energy running through it
Best game ever, love the video, my Zelda Instagram account is slowly turning into a Twilight Princess account, I'm always drawn to it.
We need more fishing ponds in the series.
big agree, zelda games need to bring back fishing ponds!!
Nice video mate
Thank you!
I sometimes think maybe at the end of Zelda games the entire triforce is effectively completed under one will so maybe they make a wish to restore some of the damage done by the big bad we defeated. Maybe that’s another reason so many weird things change between games in fun ways, it’s not a perfect reversion in time as this would restore the baddies too, so they just try to restore the greatest destruction, but to do this it changes things, like instant completion button on a reconstruction project, you’d never get a perfect recreation of what was lost, similar, but unique. Maybe I think too much. 😂
Love this
we need a part 2
I don't know why and this kinda sounds a little far fetched, but I think a yeti race once lived in the Snowpeak mountains where they built a fortress to defend themselves from enemies with the help of hylians similar to arbitar grounds , but many years later as it began to decay one of the last yetis began to settle here the same one we see in the game which they called it a mansion because it's where they are going to live.
Edit: the armor in the dungeon looks like the shape of a yeti
Can't wait to go to the ci'y!!! The ci'y in the sky!
Maybe im wrong but i remember it being a similar plaza to the one in ocarina of times hyrule castle town in the sacred grove, where you defeat the skull kid after chasing it, in my head canonn the sacred grove its the old castle town ruins leading to the temple of time
how timely! i just finished a twilight princess HD replay
Ay awesome, hope it was a good one!
Amazing content… only ever played TP on the wii….. I’m absolutely desperate to
Play it in HD. Preying we get it on switch at some point. Never had a wii U… just give it too us Nintendo please ! ☹️
Snow peak likely correlates to the Hebra and tabantha regions of tears of the kingdom and breath the wild era hyrule and I think it would be cool if we actually saw the yeti in the ladder games
I don't blame Impaz. She's got a whole town, might as well have just as many cats!!!
4:42 Jabba The Hutt on the far right
I want you to do Hytpia from Tri Force Heroes.
Id love to see you do Ocarina of time next
The voting is open for the next episode, check out my community tab!
Wasn't it confirmed somewhere that Stallord is the remains of Volvagia from OoT?
I dunno maybe I'm just going crazy but I could swear i remember that from a Zeltik vid
The Snowpeak Ruins and Arbiter's Grounds are by far the most interesting locations for me. However, the Forest Temple is another one that I think gets overlooked a lot because it's the first dungeon in the game. But, who exactly is this temple for? It appears to be connected somehow to the Kokiri, but they are nowhere to be found in this game. If it's the same forest temple from Ocarina of Time, it appears to have had some significant work done. At least with the Lakebed Temple, we know the Zora visit Lake Hylia pretty frequently. But as far as I can tell, Coro is the only human/humanoid inhabitant in the entire Faron region, unless you want to count the monkeys. So am I to understand that an entire province of the kingdom of Hyrule is just run by a bunch of monkeys that live in an abandoned temple?
I saw a theory a good while back that the Kokiri actually didn't totally "leave" Faron, but they migrated slightly south, out of the woods, and settled Ordon. The person even pointed out how Fado is not only the name of the sheep/goat rancher, but is the name of a Kokiri character in another game (I wanna say a sage in Wind Waker but I can't remember, partially because I haven't played WW yet).
They also suggested that it may be that the Hero of Time helped them settle Ordon, as Talo & Malo have names one letter away from Talon and Malon from Ocarina of Time, and Link's horse being named Epona could also potentially stand as evidence for this.
I'm sort of inclined to go along with it myself, because it's the closest thing that makes sense. Unless maybe there's some lost-in-translation type of reason for the temple to be inhabited by mischievous monkeys instead of mischievous forest kids, and a reason for the deficit of Skull Kids that I'm extremely unaware of.
I love this versions of Lake Hylia the best. It feels more grand than the ocarina of time counterpart but the breath of the wild counterpart feels meh it doesn’t have the charm that this version presents. I do love they included the great bridge of Hylia over the lake but this is the best version of the lake. Zora’s domain here is tied with its breath of the wild counterpart for me I love the lake in this one but the city in the breath of the wild game. Zelda’s castle in both games are amazing and feels very grand. I love the sanctuary in breath of the wild in design but the thrown room still feels grand.
I’d forgotten the insane number of (very high quality) dungeons in this game.
It’s sad that Twilight Princess got rushed near the end and they had to rush the Twilight Realm. They could have had that Twilight town with Twili npcs and sidequests and stuff before entering the palace itself.
Maybe it's just because of how the game is set up, but I thought the Breath of the Wild Hyrule Castle was bigger than Twilight Princess's. I love both versions, but I've spent a lot more time in the Breath of the Wild version and there's probably places I haven't been. I actually found a new place a few days ago, and I have well over 100 hours in this game. Twilight Princess on the other hand I feel like I've seen all of.
This is completely unrelated to the content of the video itself (brilliant analysis all around btw!), but I'm fascinated by linguistics and idiolects in particular, and I noticed you pronounced status as "stat-us" and not "stay-tus" like a lot of people from the British Isles tend to do. It was odd to hear. Not judging by any means. It just stood out to me.
THE LORE!!!!!
@12:51 i would literally fall asleep to that track... how dare you 😒
It has the blue Twilight energy running through it
I just realized that Skull Kid is playing on Deku pipes
my brain hyperfixating on the windows and remembering artclass from 15 years ago: isn't the castle barok and not gothik?
Please make Majora’s Mask next
I wish we got the expanded twilight realm like in the manga
That'd have been so cool!
Can you do wind waker please. I know there are not many locations, but it's my favorite game, and it's So hard to find any videos for it.
Wind Waker is on the list!
