Ranking How USELESS Zelda is in Every Zelda Game
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лис 2024
- Princess Zelda is kinda the Princess Peach of the Legend of Zelda series, some games she's vital to sealing away whatever evil force swears to doom Hyrule, and in others, she's kidnapped and does nothing.
Today, we’re looking at Zelda’s character in every mainline Zelda game and ranking her from worthless to elite. - Ігри
Zelda from TotK is ultra elite, without her, the master sword would be ineffective against ganondorf and you'd get endless gameover screens forever. She's ulta mega blaster elite for sacrificing herself to never be even reincarnated again for this.
Also she’s a dragon, which automatically makes her elite.
Yes she’s the most Elite because she unselfishly is a dragon for thousands of years.
There's so much more that she could have done in the past to help Link in the future imo. And in the end, she doesn't even remember that she changed to a dragon, which undermines the whole sacrifice. Still a crazy moment tho
That’s what I’m saying!
@@finiraelkhami8251 she remembers turning into a dragon, she doesn't remember the experience of what it was like to be a dragon. the sacrifice is still there because she was willing to give up her life (and afterlife, considering that seems to be a thing in universe)
ToTK Zelda HAS to be in Elite. She literally sacrifices herself (with no intention of being saved) all to fix the Master Sword and defeat Ganondorf. Without her in Dragon form Link probably can’t beat Demon Dragon. She teaches Link recall and is the reason Raru and Mineru trust Link completely. Elite tier for sure
And it gets fixed in the terrible ending. So amazing!
I agree
@@HungryWardenlol wat
@@jasonmp85 The ending of this game is bad. The only good thing about it is the fact that it’s consistent with the rest of the story, which is also bad.
@@HungryWarden eloquent critique
I don't think I will understand why it seems like a fair amount of fans give Zelda during the events of BOTW so much credit for holding back Calamity Gannon for 100 years but won't give that same respect to Zelda during the events of Skyward Sword for keeping Demise sealed for several millennia.
Skyward sword Zelda is best but.. she's also hylia in human flesh not just mommy bloodline Zelda. They get less hylia as time goes on
But ss Zelda is stupid one who caused reincarnation cycle
@@AshePBlackAll Zeldas are blood related to a reincarnation of hylia, sooooo……. and all though hylia made herself mortal, demise did the whole cycle thing
@@Jcassssno only skyward sword is a reincarnation of hylia the rest just have the blood of hylia
@@twilitnight oh i meant that, idk why i wrote that, i just blanked lmao
Skyward Sword Zelda should be in elite because of how involved she was behind the scenes in that game
Yh but the problem is she gets kidnapped FOUR different times throughout the game. Even after awakening to her power as Hylia, she still needs to rely on Link, Groose and Impa. Ghirahim takes her out in one shot.
I think points should be subtracted for her feigning being in trouble just to motivate Link more to help out, WHILE her aid Impa is making fun of Link for not being an elite ninja. I know she's trying to help, but it only makes me want to do the quest less.
I'm pretty agree with you, without Zelda's help in Skyward Sword, there's no safe world, so no Link, and Demise wins
@@fylamentand no master sword
@@Skyeor_Gojo Yes also
I think Zelda in TOTK is a lot more vital than most people realize. You ever wonder how the frick the Purah Pad works with all the Zonai shrines? Her and Mineru ran around everywhere and made sure that all the shrines were teleportation locations for the Purah Pad. They talked about it in the game. They made a whole plan for him. Zelda also indirectly gave Link the Reverse Time ability (which was technically a sage's vow), and put in a good word for him with all the previous sages. She also worked with Mineru to send all the sky islands into the sky in the first place.
She was goated, that's all I'm gonna say.
if they did that, why didn't they put all 140somthing spirit orbs in one shrine?
@@gamerx3071because the lights of blessing were made with Rauru’s ability, and he was a little too busy sealing Ganondorf to go put a ton of light energy into a single shrine
Link would be dead without botw/totk zelda. 3 times over
I mean, she is very important, no Zelda = no Link to the rescue
She's not in majoras mask or links awakening.
@@tartanman77Joke flew right over your head, huh?
@@tartanman77 bro didn't get the joke
@@tartanman77 r/wooosh
Yeah. Lol.
SS and TOTK should be raised to elite, their summary in the video doesn’t do them justice (they do quite more than what said here)
yeah, it is explained in the game why she turns into a dragon so it almost sems like they haven't played it. they probobly have but still
Welp... let's dislike this video
they also don't do the best game justice(minish cap). the tier is correct but lack of explanation is not
yeah, i laughed when he said the reason zelda turned herself into a dragon is to meet up with link LMAO. THAT dragon tear flashback could have not been interpreted in any other way, so im curious how he got to that conclusion and say "idk its weird" when its not weird or confusing at all
youre correct. zelda pleads with each races sage from the past to have them lend a hand to link generations later to unite ALL races against ganon. its pretty well done despite the repetitive cutscene after awakening the present sage..
Correction: she doesn’t STALL the guardians, she straight up KILLS THEM!
That's because her Light Powers make an Exorcism on them, causing Malice to vanish
I'd argue she deserves Elite Rank in Tears of the Kingdom. She aids in the fight against Gannondorf and in the end, sacrifices herself to recharge the Master Sword. All realizing that turning into a Dragon was virtually irreversible.
she doesnt sacrifice herself tho. also no the Dragon shit was no irreversible because if it actually was then Nintendo wouldnt have done it to their Named important characters
Plus she sets in the plan of action to awaken the future sages, plant minerus spirit in the purah pad to guide link, and plant the gel glyphs so link knew what he was up against. Plus Link would have failed without the master sword lol
@@link4585 how being stuck in a dragon form for thousands of years, supposedly still being conscious but not being able to do anything, is not considered a sacrifice? She still the zelda from breath of the wild, so she was pressured since birth from his family to manifest her power just to see her kingdom be destroyed, she was stuck in a power stand-off with calamity for 100 years so link could resuscitate, and then stuck in the past just to spend even more (thousand more) years in a dragon form just to recharge the sword. In all zelda forms, She's the one who had the worst and tragic story
She was CRYING the whole time she was a dragon for christ's sake
I agree with that, for sure. Out of all of the titles thus far (beyond the newly announced one, haha), TOTK earned the fact that it was the Legend of ZELDA, at least to me. Everything Link did was in response to what Zelda accomplished in the past, without her none of the events of TOTK could've happened. And the fact that she sacrificed herself to become the Light Dragon was incredible, regardless of the fact that it was reversed at the end (she didn't know that was possible, so her sacrifice is still just as selfless).
I would still say that Zelda isn't entirely gone from Majora's since we see her once, even if in a memory, but in that memory Zelda is the one that gives Link the Ocarina of Time and re-teaches the Song of Time to Link. Without the Ocarina or the Song of Time, Link would've been destroyed alongside Termina
True, but she’s not actually there, it’s just link recalling a memory with Zelda
That’s also true but regardless that does show that she taught him generally, if she didn’t teach him at all, rip link
@@jeremymklingeryou could say the same of BOTW, link recalling memories of Zelda…
And I’m pretty sure that memory took place just after Oot
Yeah, on that one i could say Pretty Helpful, because she knew that he still needs that ocarina so link can use it's power of time, and he actually needed it to rewind time so he can get more time to save termina, without that, link and the termina region would been destroyed.
Oracle games do have Zelda in a secret add-on. She would be in worthless to barely does anything tier, since she is basically absent after the Ganon fight. At least she teleports Link and herself out of a collapsing hideout, so that is something.
Edit: Also, my take on Tears of the Kingdom Zelda, her healing and amping the Master Sword and granting Link the power of recall was absolutely pivotal to defeating Ganondorf and his army. I say Elite tier should go to her here as well.
Not quite secret add-on. She appears alongside Impa in a Linked Game (when you play the 2nd Oracle game after inputting a code you get for beating the 1st). I's put her in "Worthless" as she just kinda hangs out until Twinrova captures her to use as a sacrifice
Zelda doesn't teleport them out, the Maku Tree does. You can tell because the dialogue is different depending on which game you're playing second. WORTHLESS.
In the Oracle games in a Linked Game, it is revealed that Zelda sent Impa to protect Din and Nayru. That, along with her small actions later I believe give her the “barely does anything” tier.
I'm glad someone pointed out that she IS in the games.
I was gonna say, I was sure I saw her in the Oracle games.
She already got the elite spot, but both Sheik and Ruto tell you that Sheik rescued Ruto from the ice in Zora's Domain. It was off camera, but add another point to OoT Zelda's usefulness.
You argue Zelda is "Elite" in BotW for keeping Ganon sealed for 100 years, meanwhile you put SS Zelda a tier bellow, even though she kept Demise sealed away for maybe centuries.
You can tell he skipped over certain games lol. I'd argue she's elite in totk for literally giving up her life. She had no idea she would actually come back to life from her draconic form just so she can restore the master sword and give link a fighting chance
8:43 new category: She playable!
You forgot about one of the best Zelda games, Wand of Gamelon!
I was ready to destabilize a Third World country if Spirit Tracks Zelda wasn't in Elite tier
Spirit Tracks Zelda is truly best Zelda
yOU AND ME BOTH BESTIE
Real it really feels a Zelda game but we will have echoes of wisdom soon
Not only is she useful she lowkey calls out her other selves for not being useful :P
@@Ilikebananas572Absolutely! 😄
Honestly, Zelda in TOTK should go in elite as she helps fight off ganondorf, she puts in the plan for the future to awaken the sages, plant the geoglyphs so Link knows what he’s up against, get Mineru to guide Link in his quest, give Link the recall ability, and fix the master sword and aid Link, as it all would have been pointless without her awakening the master sword
6:47 You forgot to mention that, (along with Ravio) Zelda talks with Hilda and helps changing her mind.
Nah, it's just Ravio who convinces her to stop. He's the one who tells her that what she was doing was exactly the sort of extremism their ancestors were afraid the Triforce would inspire, and hearing that is what finally makes her stop.
@@devonm042690 I was gonna say lol. Ravio is the one who gets credit for that. Hilda legit was ready to die fighting them until he shows up
In A link between worlds, she does give link the pendant of courage, which was crucial to get the Master Sword
Yawn....Hilda was more useful and she was the villain. Edit: I know you're gonna say Yuga but everything was her design he just betrayed her in the end
@@FantomMisfit She did also give the bow of light, which let Link defeat Yuganon
Worth noting that in a flashback in TP, we see Zelda fighting monsters with a sword. She drops it when she surrenders to Ganondorf, but she obviously knew it would be useless anyway. Maybe not enough to bump her up a tier, but it's a cool detail worth mentioning.
Um "ackshually" the princess in The Adventure of Link is not the same princess in Zelda 1. Generations ago this princess was cursed by a wizard because of her cruel brother. He regretted what he had done to his sister so he ordered that all future princesses be named after her. The princess of Zelda 1 was a descendant of the king, the brother of the princess seen in The Adventure of Link.
This doesn't change her usefulness but it's a common misunderstanding that the princesses in Zelda I and II are the same character.
Gotta object to "No Oracle". She's in the completed games, albeit it at an extremely low rank, given she only shows up at the end as part of the plot to try to revive Ganon after one of his last defeats.
Yes but at least she tries to help the citizens of the respective and calm things down, which in my opinion makes her deserve the "barely does anything" tier
Still worthless.
I'm pretty sure she's mentioned near the beginning of each game (without linking) by Impa. Zelda sent Impa to bring the Oracles undercover to Hyrule for protection because she had a vision that they were in trouble. In Din's case, she also sent a troupe of soldiers disguised as traveling performers.
That's something.
Plus her actual appearance in the linked games. Not worthless.
How is tears of the kingdom not in the top tier
-the story revolves around her
-she sacrifices herself without any expectation of being saved but to aid link
-helps defeat the final boss
-her efforts are always mentioned from npcs and how she aided the kingdom
7:00
Zelda Triforce Heroes
She gone
Link: Screaming
Wait, but she was in Majora's Mask for a split second! In Link's memories when he remembered the Song of Time! (AKA the most important song in the game)
True, but it’s just a memory of her, she doesn’t do anything herself
Thats just a flashback. She isn't present in anyway.
The only thing she really does is allow Link to keep the Ocarina of Time which saves him from the calamity of the moon.
@@jeremymklinger I always assumed she was in some way contacting him psychically, and sending him the Ocarina of Time.
I though she teaches you the song of time in the flashback
Minish Cap having her come in clutch(especially since, as you might have missed before she was turned to stone, she deflected one of Vaati's initial attack against her, Link, the king, and Minister Potho) makes sense; as Vaati was sealed in the Four Sword, the wishing cap stayed behind. This is because the cap is full of magic, enough to have made Vaati into what he would become, so it not being sealed makes sense even if it's a bit of a copout on first glance. The cap's magical properties and her Light Force would be enough to restore Hyrule in just one wish, considering what both of those did when under Vaati's command.
The tier is correct, but she deserves a bit more credit than what was given.
"But after this, she takes her longest hiatus of the series. She's not in Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages, or Oracle of Seasons."
The ironic thing is, she's actually in all three of those games! Majora's Mask features a brief memory of Zelda teaching Link the Song of Time (Sure it's not much, and it's a past memory, but at least it's something. I'd say it's enough to count as "barely does anything")
In the Oracle Games, once you complete one game and start the other as a linked game, Zelda makes an appearance, although she admittedly is in the background most of the game. Her biggest feat is rallying together the townspeople against Twinrova, although they are ultimately unsuccessful and Zelda gets kidnapped anyway. Still, she does appear. And it's not just some bonus feature either, it's how the games were intended to be played, so it should definitely count.
Thank you for clearly labeling the video sponsored section. It's a small thing, but open transparency helps us distinguish between your personal takes and paid content.
I know I’ve seen them all, but I honestly forgot how much Zelda loves that little spin around looking shocked/surprised/excited that she does.
Echoes of Wisdom: *And I took that personally.*
She is in Majora’s Mask for a flashback when you get your ocarina back from Skull Kid ontop of Clock Tower, where she teaches you the CORE MECHANIC of the game. Elite tier.
Sure, Jan.
Breath of the Wild is also at the top of the tier list in terms of PTSD. Watching all her friends die while she struggles to attain a power everyone expects her to have already, only to have it awaken seconds too late to do anything but lock Ganon in a hundred year stalemate. This wasn't her usual cozy sleeping in a crystal type of divine seal either, she was actively fighting him the entire time.
Girl didn't just do her part, she burned herself alive for this win.
Her desperation in the last memory really, really is earned by the storyline we see.
At 4:22 you can see the skip five seconds button
You could at least give us real infos. In Zelda 2 it's not Ganon who put the princess in sleep, it's his brother, influenced by an evil wizard (and by the way, it's not the same Zelda as in the first game but her ancestor) and Zelda IS in Oracle of Ages/Seasons, but you have to do both games on a row to "unlock" the part of the story where she's involved.
For me Tears of the Kingdom Zelda is Elite for sure! Besides fighting Ganondorf in the past alongside Rauru and the others, she realizes the way she could help link in the future and makes an ultimate sacrifice transforming into a dragon (she never thought this transformation could be undone).
The ending still bothers me.
@@HungryWarden I see why but without her no more royal family, and if they want to create a continuity between TOTK and a future game it could be complicated.
Also she blesses your Master Sword in Skyward Sword which imo is very very very useful.
Not just useful but ESSENTIAL to the long standing story telling of the franchise I feel.
@@TheDevastator619 good point, essential and vital would be better terms. Thank you :)
Ghiriham: The only thing that girl did was hide in a building and take a nap. I'm the one that made her useful but does anyone give me credit?? No!! Do you know how that makes me feel?!! Frustrated!!!! Enraged!!
@@FantomMisfit Link: calm down there Debbie, no need to get your leotards in a twist or your tongue in a tongue twister just because you look like the chocolate version of Fi in your true form.
I almost felt Windwaker Tetra should stay Elite for being one of the few who fights side by side with you against Ganon while in physical form.
She is in a memory in majora's mask for the song of time. So pretty important. And also she is in Oracle of ages and seasons. If you linked the games to get the true ending, and to unlock thos is not hard.
6:02 "This is where the giant knight dude from SB comes from" That's a dang phantom
This series is what made me subscribe to this page. Love it. Keep up the great work.
- Tell me you never played linked Oracle of Ages/Seasons without telling me.
Jeremy:
Also, in Majora's Mask she gives Link the Ocarina of Time and make us remember the Song of Time, which is essential to Link's quest. Personally I'd consider it pretty helpful.
In MM that was more of Link just remembering rather than Zelda doing something. Which he remembered from OoT. So she still gets the no appearance title in in MM
Not to mention his completely incorrect retelling of Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link.
MM was that. A flashback
@@zaciorfida-costanzo706 The flashback occurs months after OoT. How else would he have gotten the Ocarina?
@@akward4210 he got the Ocarina, months ago from Zelda back in OoT, and not in MM
you kinda just proved my point even further
True, but you're forgetting about the Hyrule Warriors series! So, back to being harassed for you, I guess.
Lol u right, I don’t consider those mainline tho 🤷♀️
Yeah! Zelda is playable in these two games as well. She's also playable in that one CGI Zelda game and in Smash Bros. Since Melee!
@@insertmemehere0 Bro totally glossing over the *mainline* part of the video description/comment
@@insertmemehere0Actually 2 cdi games: Zelda the Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure.
Okay, she's playable in 2 CDI Zelda games, Smash Bros. Melee onward, Hyrule Warriors, and Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity! And finally, and a nail on the coffin! The latest main line Zelda game!
Until September... CD-I Zelda kills enemies and just says "good" like a badass
Zelda from TOTK had so many opportunities to do meaningfull stuff, but did do little of it. Like, she never told anyone what happened in her time until it was too late, she never showed the mural of the Zonai history despite having the purah pad, she never helped Mineru with constructs despite geeking over the Sheika tech of Botw, she didn't ask Rauru for help when walking into Ganondorf's trap with Sonia, she didn't even make the link between Ganon and Ganondorf despite having the same name.
Her sacrifice was huge, but there was no lasting concequences to it. She even said herself that she doesn't remember anything after swallowing the stone, undermining the act of a sacrifice.
Still, she sacrifice from her was more than commendable.
Spirit Tracks Zelda: The world is in danger...I'll wait here you get moving! Why do you look scared this is what we princesses have always done it's kind of a tradition from what I understand :P
Correction: The Zelda from Zelda 2: TAoL is an ANCIENT Princess Zelda who was put to sleep by a curse unrelated to Ganon. Ganon’s followers DO intend to sacrifice her to bring about Ganon’s return, but as far as I am aware this makes the original Link the ONLY Link to have met two DIFFERENT princesses Zelda.
It's Link they want to sacrifice.
The *real* question is, how should Link's usefulness be ranked in 'Echoes"...? Little twerp gets a five-minute cold open plus a bunch of NPCs whining about him being missing, then gets crystal-locked and sits out most of the rest. 😉
How about comes in clutch?
actually she IS in the oracle games...granted she's not much use...but still definitely present
0:20 Wortless
Wort wort wort!
Zelda in TotK is super elite. She finds out she's literally the time mage and tells Rauru and Sonia about what she saw in the future, which is why he was able to get Rauru's arm to begin with, helps them set up Link's success, then turns into a dragon and spends 10,000+ years healing the master sword.
She does appear in the oracle games, in whatever version you play second.
Very cool video!
in oracle of seasons and ages, if you combine both games, iirc Zelda will be present and be kidnapped by kotune and koaku (dont remember the names of the two witches) so that they can light a flame of destruction to resurrect Ganon. Link comes to the rescue and stops the ritual halfway through, so this time Ganon gets resurrected as a "brainless", savage Boar-demon just to be slaughtered by link.
5:07 Screenshot goes stupid
Tbh. I find it odd how we in BOTW have to do 95% of the whole game and then later on that 5% is zelda snapping calamity ganon into ash.
SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T HOLD HER POWERS ANYMORE. GIRL-
0:53 I'm actually a little confused by what you just said there. Isn't Gannon actually dead in The adventures of Link? How could he have put Zelda under a sleeping spell if he's dead?
There's 2 versions of the story
There's the one that was mentioned in this video, and than there's a backstory in the manual that explains that she's a Zelda from 500(?) years ago in an age named the Golden Era. The king of that era used the triforce to bring happiness and prosperity to Hyrule but he was about to die, so he needed to tell somebody where the triforce was. His son, the prince was told the location of the triforces of wisdom and power, but only Zelda was told courage's location.
Soon enough, this suspicious wizard dude talked to the prince and told him that his sister knew where the triforce of courage was so they did some 'gentle persuasion' (read: they beat her with a whip)
Despite the fact that she was literally being beaten by her brother, she stood her ground and didn't reveal the location of the triforce. Suspicious wizard man than got angry and cursed her. Her brother tried to stop him but it was too late.
After that, he declared that all princesses would be called Zelda in his sister's honor. Honestly, it's so sad that she was asleep for the whole game because seeing this Zelda's story play out would've been so interesting!
interesting you caught that b/c yeah that wasn't true, it wasn't ganon, it was an unnamed wizard
That's Ganon with 1 N.
Well, technically, 2, but you know what I mean, you pedantic little shrew
I agree the Spirit Traks Zelda is the most OP of all, it is the only Zelda that can literally block lasers. It is really the most op even if its weakness is the most ridiculous (a fear of panic of rats and mice)
I wouldn't hold that against her considering rats and mice can carry diseases. Its why my family is afraid of rats.
Princess Zelda is pretty cool and I think she's a great love interest to Link. She seems like a brave princess who would help protect those in need.🤩👑🗡️⚔️
Love Interest..........
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
@@truthspreader1996 She could be.
Eww not all them would. All link and Zelda were diff and some later ones not hardly. It only worked in skyward sword cuz she wasn't even a princess and she was actually hylia
@@AshePBlack Wait really?
god i hate people who speak of link and zelda as if they are singular persons, if you wanna use he/she instead of they you must also precise which of the 20 or so link and zelda youre even talking about all of them are different people
My brother refuses to acknowledge spirit tracks bc its a "wind waker knock off" but i love it sm along w its zelda shes a ghost but that doesnt stop her from trying her best to help link
I don't wanna be that guy but why didn't he mention HWAOC (hyrule warriors age of calamity) is it just the cannon games in the series?
7:35
Zelda(after seeing how long Link would be snoozing) "...Ain't no mother fu- HYLIA DAMN IT! 100 YEARS?!"
I (really) like Princess Zelda, her design and version of Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
She’s pretty and cute
zelda IS in the oracle games during a linked adventure. she walks around holodrum and labrynna providing hope to the people of those lands. her being taken is robs the hope and lights the flame of despair.
Can’t wait for September.
Rideable companion is wild
YES THE GODDESSES LISTENED TO MY PRAYERSS
The only disagreement I got is TotK, she made the ultimate sacrifice for 10,000 years to repair the master sword after accidentally using her powers to go back in time, learned how to use them properly, and summon the master sword to be repaired in the first place. Then, in the present, despite not having any memory of who she is as a dragon, she still comes to Link's aid to help him finally vanquish the strongest version of Ganon EVER. Ultra mega god tier elite, by far the strongest and most helpful Zelda to ever exist
And now, Echoes of wisdom Zelda is #1 😁
you did not talk about echos of wisdom
Imagine being so worthless that the only time you do something is when you are dead
(Good thing Echoes is coming, we really need Zelda doing more than being an expositon machine/Masterball)
I wouldn't mind a game similar to Octopath traveler. You play not only has Link and Zelda, but other staple characters like Impa all with their own storylines along with an overarching story.
nah, she's useful in every game she's actually present in
characters have different roles, which shouldn't mix, the smartest thing nintendo did is not make her a frontline fighter but uses echoes to fight
her being damsel in distress isn't bad either
After having played Echoes of Wisdom, yes she is a VERY EASY elite
Love these videos! Keep up the amazing work! 😄
Thank you, I will!
I believe that we should take into account how OoT Zelda and TotK Zelda helped cause the very problems that they are fighting against.
OoT Zelda helped let Ganondorf into the sacred realm by giving the Ocarina to Link before he was ready.
And TotK Zelda and Sonia both basically handed the Secret Stone to Ganondorf when they tried to confront the imposter without getting any back up from Rauru or the sages.
So they should both be dropped one rank due to their own hubris.
3:14 "Tetra is a " EYOOO???
hey now, she's technically in majoras mask for a single flashback scene! wherein she teaches link the song that lets him go back in time :3
6:26 - I hope you're crediting Zeltik for using his footage.
Zelda is one of my favorite companion in Spirit Tracks. They gave her so many character traits and having her by your side always felt wholesome. There’s also a bit more bonding than other Zelda games, since you have her by your side for the entire game, from fighting your first tiny enemy up to the final boss.
Link: none of the Zelda’s are useless I love Zelda! Is that good?
She’s one of my favorite characters ever 💗 I haven’t played many of the games (not the biggest fan of the usual gameplay style although the storytelling is amazing) but I’ll be getting Echoes for sure to play as my homegirl!
2:45 uhh...Linked game?
Hello?
She is in the oracle games in a linked playthrough, though if i remember correctly she doesnt really do anything.
Also the reason zelda can make everything back to normal at the end of minish cap is because the vati hat is basically a genie in a bottle
Zelda is in the Oracle games. If you play on a linked game save, she visits Holodrum/Labrynna and gets kidnapped halfway through by Vire in OoA ore the Great Moblin in OoS. At the end of the game she gets kidnapped by Twinrova to revive Ganon.
She would definitely be in the worthless tier though, as she could’ve stopped Ganon’s revival by just staying in Hyrule
Jeremy: No playable role till September.
Wand of Gamelon: Am I a joke to you?
Yes.
and Zelda's Adventure :
Wand of Gamelon is an easy elite too
😂
Mah boi, I wander what’s for dinner?
She does find Link simply by breaking a mirror. LMAO, the "resident damsel in distress" saved him THAT easily.
Justice for TotK Zelda. Totk Zelda is above all other Zeldas on the list, even herself in Botw. I cannot imagine how determined she must have been when she decided to gamble everything, to sacrifice herself and transform into a dragon and to be alone for fucking millennias, not knowing if everything will work out or not. But she did it anyway. And without her, this game would not have been this masterpiece we see today. Put Totk Zelda in Elite. NOW.
You made a mistakes
Zelda appears in oracle games in Linked Game - when you play the second any oracle game as a sequel using the password
In Majora's Mask, Zelda appears in flashback. Link remembers at a critical moment that she taught him the song of time
6:08 actually it just comes from nowhere bro is just a hyrule gaurd
I wish they gave her more to do with Sheik. Granted I’m not a hardcore Zelda fan so I don’t know what purpose the Sheikah tribe served. But it’s such a cool ability that would make for more interesting stories. Plus with all Zelda’s power, the damsel in distress role doesn’t really fit her.
Damsel isn't a bad thing, even when captured its vital, both in motivating the hero and also in allowing her to do something in that situation away from the enemy noticing her
not everyone needs to be a frontline fighter
Zelda in botw and totk needs a whole new tier to appreciate the magnitude of what she did when it comes to effort, impact and personal sacrifice. In TOTK she saves Rauru from Ganondorf, helps them Kamehameha-wave an army of monsters, essentially decides to die so she can spend an eternity recharging and fixing the master sword for use in the present day, she organizes a gigantic kingdom-wide plan to help Link in the future with the sages and then on top of that she saves Link from the Demon Dragon and helps him win a fight he stood no chance of winning himself.
Really makes the title of the series worth a damn.
Zelda in TotK is Elite, because you can see a lot of good changes she made on Hyrule in the time between BotW and TotK, like building schools, researching new species, building the lookout which is really important, commands for the building of wood deposits and much more. Especially the wood deposits are important to Link, without them, he couldn't build vehicles and the game would be a lot more boring.
Zelda in TotK sets up the sages to be reborn when Link awakens on the Great Sky Island
She sets up Rauru and Mineru to hold their spirits and help Link 10 thousands of years in the future
She teaches Link recall ability
She is the reason Link got Raurus arm hence Link even survives his critical injuries
She sets up the Tears of the Kingdom so Link knows what happened to her and where to find her and the Master Sword
She sacrifices herself and soares the skys of Hyrule 10 thousands of years to restore the Master Sword which is the only known weapon to defeat Demon King Ganondorf
Not putting TotK Zelda in her own top tier above elite is crucial
Worth noting that Tears of the Kingdom is the only game you can ride Zelda and provides resources when you hit her.
Pretty elite tier if you ask me, heh…
would be elite without the 10 min timer
You know what isn’t elite? The ending of Tears of the Kingdom.
@@HungryWarden I don’t think anybody cares about your opinion on totk’s ending
@@cblin1978 you’re right.
@@HungryWarden but, you are right about it not being elite
I'd argue ToTK Zela belongs in elite. Every moment she spent in the past was dedicated in aiding Link in the future. The Purrah pad with Mineru, her faith in Link convincing Rauru to give him his arm, sharing her power of time with Link in the future, becoming an immortal dragon to heal the Master Sword for thousands of years because the amount of sacred power it needed exceeded her mortal life. My girl also subconsciously came to Link's aid in the final battle even though as a dragon she has no recollection of her mortal life. That's just how strong her will was.
Not once has she also asked Link to save her. Just find her and to protect them all. Honestly, without her Link would have failed long before he started and vice versa. They really worked as partners this time.
Well the new game is not even out yet and we should definitely know the least useless Zelda now.
I came here for Spirit Tracks Elite and I got what I wanted but I also agree with Skyward Sword Zelda deserving Elite because even though Link is chasing after her for most of the game, Link is chasing AFTER her. She may be being guided by a divine destiny and eventually accompanied by a badass but she is taking the initiative in travelling across an undiscovered, extremely hostile world both to fulfill her destiny and to lead Link to where he needs to be, at least initially.
In the case of Skyward Sword, Zelda isn’t present for most of the game because LINK is lacking in some way. Even from the first moment of the game, Zelda is the one waking him up and pushing him to practice and likewise with the rest of the game, Link has to up his game to catch up to her in the Lanayru desert and even then just barely. I don’t fully recall what she and Impa are doing in the time between them timetravelling and Link opening the second time gate but even when Zelda is sealed in amber she is maintaining the seal on Demise and protecting everyone for untold millenia
What about the two Hyrule Warriors games?
Spin offs
yesssss THANK YOU for the Spirit Tracks elite Zelda mention uh my words are bad here
You realy didn't do TOTK zelda any justice. She was super involved, and even sacrificed mind, cursed to roam hyrule skies as a dragon for 10000 years. Also she didn't know if she could be rescued when she did that sacrifice.
the fact that you included TotK but neither of the warriors games baffles me
They're not canon while totk is though.
TotK not in elite?! It's debatably the most crucial she has been to the plot to date
The problem is that everything she does in that game except for fixing Master Sword could be done by someone else.
@@HungryWardeneh debatable. Rauru might not have even saved Link if Zelda didn't go to the past and tell him about it.
Sounds like someone didn't play Spirit Tracks therefore statement is invalidated
@@FantomMisfit Don't think you know what "debatably" means friend
So I KNOW everyone is mentioning TOTK Zelda should be elite. And I agree. But A lot are missing things.
1. She was part of the Forces that Originally Confronted Ganondorf in the past.
2. She set up the Sages to Pass down their power. Giving Link the Allies he needed.
3. Yes she turned into a Dragon. And at the Time. There was no way back. But she did that to sacrifice her self to repair the mastersword.
4. At the START of the Game she is already rebuilding Hyrule. Organizing Projects to get Hyrule back up and running. Has made schools, established trade, Set up construction companies to speed up reconstruction. If TOTK did not happen she was well on the way to getting hyrule back to its glory in her life time.
So yeah. Zelda from BOTW and TOTK is the most Elite in my opinion. She not a warrior. But she is really living up to the Wisdom element. And basicly doing all the heavy lifting BESIDES physical fighting.
Zelda? more like princess peach but better.
This has never been more inaccurate. Should someone also tell them that Princess Peach also has magic?
@@fishnewt1331 I know💀
@@fishnewt1331 I forgot that that one game existed where she used her emotions or something?
@@fishnewt1331 I’ll change it
majoras mask should've gotten at least a does barely anything because without the flashback where link remembers the song of time the moon would've just came crashing down
