    Heyo! This video took much longer than usual, but I'm still here! The month of March was a difficult one for me health wise. But I'm almost back to 100% and ready to start kicking ass again. Thank you for your patience and understanding! The script for part 2 is almost complete. Then we're on to a most... bloody city, horrid nightmare, and a most vile hunt.
    Onwards!

      Just a thought I had after the Majora video, The eye of Majora looks quite similar to Midna's mask... and Midna's powered up tentacle form has similarities to Majora's Incarnation and Wrath. It's as if the Interlopers used Masks as magical mediums, and could share an origin with Majora.

    The grace of a sledge hammer honestly describes Midna's actions in the first act of the game as a whole. Till the mid game event where things change she basically has a steak on a stick leading Lnik around by the nose and a cudgel to smack him for not following the steak...

  • @nillynush4899

    I always thought it was interesting how (before the Hyrule historia even came out) TP Link seemed connected to Hero's shade, he knew Epona's song, lived in a tree yet was also a ranch hand. The direct connection to Ocarina made sense even without the Historia confirming details. Then you add the displacement of the Gerudo and the Arbiter's grounds to the mix and it really paints an interesting picture. It points to some kind of gerudo/hylian war, started when Child Link warned past Zelda about what Ganondorf would do in the future.
    What happened to OoT Link after Majora's mask really interests me. I want answers, and maybe even another game where we finally get to see an old man Link, and how he died.

    • @Eleehas
      @Eleehas 2 роки тому +22

      If you really think about it, OoT Link most likely somehow entered the Twilight Realm at some point since he carried the Triforce of Courage after going back to his own time, thus turning him into a wolf the moment he got there and starting the Twili's prophecy of a Sacred Beast saving them.
      Like he had to have known at some point that one who had the Triforce of Courage and/or a descendant would come in contact with Twilight to turn them into a wolf, otherwise there'd be no point in him making the Howling Stones. It's crazy.

    • @Inebriated_Goat

      A third Hero Of Time game would be amazing, there's so much that happens between Majorad Mask and TP they could definitely fit a game in

    @IamSupreme333 2 роки тому +24

    For anyone confused how Ganon survived the execution:
    When Adult Link was sent back to his original time, he had ownership of the Triforce of Courage. Arriving back to his child body and the child timeline, Link inadvertently caused that timelines Triforce, which was still locked in the Sacred Realm, to split. Link got the ToC, Zelda got the piece of Wisdom, and Ganondorf got Power. When the Sages executed Ganondorf, the Triforce of Power revived him. Sending him to the Twilight Princess was their only hope in that moment.

    You do such an amazing job with story telling. I’ve watched summaries of lots of games with gripping stories, yet find the retelling of them to feel empty. Your storytelling however, fantastic!!!

    I love these videos! It's great to be able to relive the story of a Legend of Zelda game even when I don't have time to replay it and your narration is perfect! One minor complaint, however. At 44:44 when talking about Zora's Domain being frozen, you mention that "another hero of the past once faced this exact predicament." Which is not true, because Adult Lnik never visited Zora's Domain in the Child Timeline. I see it as that same event, finally happening after a long delay. As with all of Twilight Princess's similarities to Ocarina of Time.
    It's not history repeating itself, it's history that was supposed to happen, now finally happening.
