As a West Virginian, proud to see the flat woods monster here

[@RevanSecura]

there's one thing missing from the section on fairies. the term fairy queen is Shakespearean in pop culture particularly the play called a Midsummer Night's Dream where there was a fairy queen named Titania. and Legend of Zelda isn't the only franchise to pull from that play there's an anime/manga called Fairy Tale where one of the main characters has the title of Fairy Queen she's called Erza Scarlet.

The fierce deity is interesting considering that the mask was more or less created once Link got rid of the optional masks symbolizing the people he helped. It’s almost like the mask is the people’s perception of Link. Assuming of course it is not like Majoras mask which contains some sort of spirit.

[@poliwhirlking]

The King of Hyrule was based on how Kings are often found in castles

[@samuelchallis3420]

Link’s design took inspiration from Peter Pan so the small fairies definitely were inspired by Tinkerbell

[@cadunobre37]

Majora's mask was inspired by the Marajoara tribe, that lived in today's Marajo Island in Brazil.

[@BEExPyro]

Everything is inspired by mythology and folklore in Zelda. You should have made a “10 top things in Zelda NOT inspired by mythology or folklore”. Now that would have been hard.

10:35 like pixies and the abatwa of west African lore

[@GamingKingdom91]

Gleeoks are three headed dragons..i think they might be based off of the hydra (the monster with a lot heads)

[@mrtoxicwasteland]

The poes were based on japanese spirits of vengeance who were killed in atrocious ways, likely during wartime or genocides. Look at the locations of poes in twilight princess, ocarina of time and botw and youll find they environmental storytelling hints at executions, mass killings and calculated torture of their enemies. In fact dead hand seems to be a direct result of desecration considering his arena is a literal pile of human remains. One has to assume that the soul (proven to exist after death considering reincarnation) wouldn't settle and would manifest itself as revenge. Fire is used by poes to cleanse wrongdoings as perceived by a spirit killed unmercifully

[@dylansearcy3966]

9:05 similar to dryads of Greek mythology

[@dylansearcy3966]

8:31 and the hinox has a more piglike face. The cyclops was based on elephant skulls

[@dylansearcy3966]

4:14 and Norse right?

[@sonicguyver7445]

I'm waiting for keatons to show up again, but look more like Renamon.

[@kittycatwithinternetaccess2356]

I love flatwoods monster

[@dylansearcy3966]

Teenagers got sick from their encounter with the flat woods monster

[@kantoraxg.2491]

You can rename link and the horse in Twilight princess for the Wii

[@Tinnsfr]

In gc as well. Odd they showed that particular scene during the part where talking about not being able to name your horse.

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

Good video

[@dylansearcy3966]

Fairies or fairylike beings exist worldwide

[@KyleDontCare]

Is it bad that the only Zelda I've ever completed is The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass.

[@byksEBM]

Play the others

[@KyleDontCare]

@@byksEBM Maybe, I was thinking about trying Spirit Tracks.

[@samuelchallis3420]

I wouldn’t say it’s bad but it is a little strange

[@tommyfreckmann6857]

I only ever played 30 mins of 2 zelda games and just can't get into it like the OG pokemon games.

[@KyleDontCare]

@@tommyfreckmann6857 agree

[@Anti-Santa86]

Me I want to see the one world you travel to in Legend of Zelda Link Between Two Worlds come back somehow

[@andrewtithof9501]

Keaton from majoras mask reminds me of a much smaller version of kurama from naruto

[@yoU-r-a-M0NKeY]

Bro it showed the yellow fox cause I forgot the name and my bestie was like oh hey it’s Naruto 🤣🤣🤣

[@masterplayer.k.]

You forgot the giants.

[@saraskelton8932]

Is it me or...is the narrator/speaker for this episode really bad sounding? Like he's yelling

[@devonthemonster3932]

I'm sure there was a pronunciation error as well

[@megamegatron99]

@@devonthemonster3932 there was at least 2, by my count hinox & picori are the 2 i noticed

[@devonthemonster3932]

@@megamegatron99 that's what i heard to

[@ezogh3826]

Yeah I find that any “mojo” channel has narrators speaking in a way that is difficult to listen to 😬

[@dylansearcy3966]

Doesn’t Keaton get its name from Michael keaton?

[@YankeeMav]

4:04 not just Christians, genius. oy I need to 👋 YT 👍 ha.

[@megamegatron99]

it irritated me how you pronounced hinox and picori but other than that, i liked the video

[@darklordyianni4463]
