⭐[4K] Zelda Ocarina of Time 25th anniversary X Ghibli: CASTLE TOWN - Unreal Engine 5

[@RwanLink]

After four intense months, I'm excited to unveil my latest video commemorating the 25th anniversary of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! Originally conceived as a small, enjoyable project over the summer to take a break from the realistic videos I've created before that, I'm so happy with the final result. I attempted to blend the amazing aesthetics we see in Ghibli with the fantastic Zelda universe. What are your thoughts? Would you be interested in seeing more videos with this artistic direction? Would you like to see other locations? Let me know in the comments and thank you everyone for your amazing support! #EDITS: I'm absolutely blown away by the amazing response to the video and I can't thank each and every one of you enough. To everyone who watched, liked, commented, and shared the video - your enthusiasm has been contagious, and it means the world to me! I'm grateful for the love and positivity you've brought to this unexpected journey. Thank you to all the new subscribers! Thank you for joining this growing community, and I'm excited to share more content and connect with all of you. I also want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Nintendo for creating the incredible Zelda franchise. Over the years, it has inspired millions, including myself, with its rich storytelling, captivating characters, and unforgettable adventures. The magic of Zelda has touched our hearts, and I'm honored to be part of a community that cherishes this extraordinary gaming legacy. Let's continue this amazing journey together! Your support motivates me to create more content and share more stories. Stay tuned for what's next, and once again, THANK YOU for making this moment so special. 🙏

@@candycornshrimp Or they should cancel the creation of it and instead invest the money they were ready to invest in it to a professional team of animators who could make this become a reality. Everyone wants the animation. Not only is animation more fitting. But it's also a lot more timeless than a movie. a real life adoptation will be trash in 10 years where as an animation, _Real Animation, not the blender or other 3d animation software made ones. Real hand drawn animations!_ is timeless. Maybe not completely. But i can still watch cartoons from the 70's and be entertained. And i wasn't even born back then. But if someone puts on almost any movie made between 2010 and 2015 i'm bored because of irrelevant inclusions of apps and other product placements that isn't nostalgic, but just a major annoyance and ruining the movie. Then you have the camera quality vs the evolution of monitors and TV's. They never ad up. But animation can be retuned to what ever screen or monitor fits the times, easily. Even more easily when AI's become more consistant and reliant.

I need about 12 gallons of water because my jaw is locked to the floor. I can't even begin to express how incredible this work is. There are entire studios that can't put out this quality of work. All of the assets look amazing and the music is amazing and just all of it is amazing. It really makes me want a movie and a remake of OOT in this style because it's just absurdly beautiful and timeless.

[@odeon7834]

This was so amazing my jaw hit the floor a few times, wow truly incredible!!! you created a masterpiece that is visually stunning and remarkable which ticked every single box, the nostalgia got me right in the feels.. Also imagine if modders turn this into a playable demo or actual game.... it would blow my mind.

[@awesomefaceprod]

That was absolutely beautiful. You’ve outdone yourself. It’s crazy the amount of improvement as an animator and storyteller you’ve made over the small time I’ve been following your work here. Keep it up man.

[@broccoli5425]

No words could ever do justice, but I’ll try. This is stunning, my eyes and brain are in denial of what they’re seeing, it’s just that otherworldly. It honestly pains me to know that Nintendo’s movie won’t look like this, but it pains me even more to know that Nintendo’s movie probably won’t have the same passion and love put into it as this movie. The fact that you made it all by yourself in just four months, on top of a fully time job, is inspiring. I could only hope to create art like this one day. Thank you for making this, genuinely. The joy I felt watching this was something I hadn’t experienced for a while.

[@JoseGomez-br6dq]

Eso es lo q duele , porque miyamoto aunque es el creador , siento q lo ve mas como el producto que es , mas q lo significativo que es para nosotros , claro q ama tloz , pero no al nivel de nosotros

[@MajorLink]

Amazing work! The world feels so lived in!! Great job captuing that! Cant wait to see you grow!

[@immersionHEHE]

YES! This is how the Zelda movie should look like! There's just no way they gonna pull off the live action style. A talking Link with a green hood gonna look ridiculous. Would love to be proven wrong though

[@Aurelia1186]

This is what I would want SO MUCH more than a live action adaptation - Amazing job!!!

[@Cdbilawchuk]

This video you created truly made me melt. What a beautiful tribute to Zelda OOT - 25 Years. Thank you for your time and dedication to something that is so meaningful to me. This is so accurate to the Original content, and it made me feel like I did 25 years ago! Im passing along my sincerest gratitude. Happy Birthday, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time!

[@antonz.9022]

¡Gracias! Tu trabajo me trajo muchos lindos recuerdos, ojalá pudiera hacerse un anime entero de todo el Ocarina of Time

[@RwanLink]

¡Muchas gracias! Tus palabras significan mucho para mí. Me alegra saber que mi trabajo te ha traído buenos recuerdos. ¡Sería maravilloso poder crear un anime completo basado en todo Ocarina of Time! Aprecio mucho tu apoyo y tus deseos positivos. ¡Gracias de nuevo por tu amabilidad!

[@StoryTimeWithMissElise]

Combining two of my favorite things! Thank you KZbin algorithm for recommending this masterpiece.

[@Miksen25]

I LOVED the reference with the thief, this poor guy who was a bank in MM AND the picori. Its amazing too see this fantastic world in such a beautiful artstyle. I also liked how much life you put into the castle town and the animations of the different characters!

[@karmacandor]

How did you possibly do all of this in 4 months? With or without a job, I would estimate it would take most talented creators multiple years to make something of this quality. Thank you very much for being with us to share such excellent work!

[@RwanLink]

Thank you!! I work on my videos every day before and after my job and also during the week end :)

[@WarrenGdog28]

​@@RwanLink Brother IGN used this film on there page n gave u a shout out

[@ryanlacroix6425]

This is absolutely unbelieveable. This is the work of a truly dedicated and masterful artist regardless of whatever you may say to yourself. The direction of the little moments of the King's subdued surprise at Ganondorf's appearance, the sheer joy Link has while being chased by the dog and the impact Ganondorf's stare has are not simple things. You've truly made something special and should not discount your talent.

[@michaelmellor3383]

imagining this as a tv show is so gold, making the mask salesman like the setup for majoras mask later is dope hes creepy, and i love the skyward sword touches best zelda game

[@JefflezZz]

No words. Just pure awe and complete astonishment 10/10, absolute masterpiece right here Good job everyone

[@apieceofcoffee]

Long time Zelda fan, and this made my heart so so happy! It's almost like what we were visually seeing when playing OoT for the first time on N64. It's not perfect, but clearly a labor of love! Thank you for putting a smile on my face, this was a delight to watch!

[@chasenuuhiwa]

Is someone at Nintendo and Sony paying attention to this? This is what we want for a Zelda movie. Period. Well done, Rwan! Always phenomenal work as usual!

[@xxMaki]

I was going to comment this !!

[@Sir_Adam]

Don't speak for all of us smh

[@chasenuuhiwa]

@@Sir_Adam Watch when it flops... you'll wish it was animated.

[@Key-Knight87]

@@chasenuuhiwa Who's to say that it would be any better animated? It takes a lot to make a good movie besides looks...

[@chasenuuhiwa]

@@Key-Knight87 We'll see, I don't mind being wrong on this one because I want it to succeed. But with the people involved and some of their track record for making decisions. It doesn't look good. And I'm talking about the specific movies where Avid Arad dug in too deep.

[@dilfill]

You did such an amazing job here. Reall spectacular!

[@DanielWahlquist]

honestly, this is amazing, and i would love to see this even more developed, and actually get nintendo to do a game with this type of animation. loved it

[@GoldSh3ll]

Level 5 games would be a great pick, the Ni No Kuni games look just like this.

[@angieyoung6674]

Wow! This is so good, I wish it was a full length movie. Your best work yet.

[@Leni16]

I can't believe how magical this is! Like many Ghibli's animations it takes me to another world. And that soundtrack! OMG! Everything is breathtaking. I just want to say Thank you! Thank you for making this beautiful, beautiful piece of art! ❤

[@lilclan8513]

This may be the best Zelda video on KZbin

[@EIrondx]

Incredible work, music, and nostalgia. One of my favorite zelda games and my favorite animation ghibli 💯 Wishing you all the success

[@RwanLink]

I'm deeply grateful for your kind words! It brings me immense joy to know that the project resonated with your affection for Zelda and Ghibli. Your support is truly encouraging, and I appreciate your wishes for success. Here's to continued creativity and capturing more cherished moments!

[@Whirl9999]

When saria's song hit and I saw the environment my heart melted. Also the running in circles with the dog, when I think about it we all would do that what makes it magical is that a zelda fan will understand these little things, more than "oh that's cute" it's more like "yeah that's me" 😊

[@donmac5124]

The attention to Easter eggs was really well done. Especially when Link enters the town square outside hyrule Castle

[@greygorygaming]

It's not really Easter Eggs. He simply adapted what was in the game masterfully.

[@hellomyself00]

Dude, this is absolutely awesome. If this was a game i would download it the second it released, payed or not. U have insane talents dude because this looks like a real thing studio ghibli would make!

[@marlon8597]

That awesome I am zelda fan too, your work definitely will not go unnoticed, bravo. 😎

[@RwanLink]

Thank so much!

[@rkuo1056]

Daaaamnn. Seriously. This is GORGEOUS. I would pay full price for this game with all the cut scenes. Everything's. Ghibli's style, music, and Zelda. Damn.

[@aonghus7759]

This is so ambitious my mind is blown that you even tried this. It's a testament to your work that it reminded me as much of Ni No Kuni as it did OoT.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

You know studio Gibli did the graphics for Ni No Kuni right?

[@RwanLink]

Thank you so much for your support! Ni No Kuni has great visuals for sure!

[@gainzday2838]

I know Nintendo devs are seeing this on the low. I know they got to be in the views somewhere, this is just undeniably fresh and amazing. Forget a live action film, Nintendo needs to work with this man! Everything is on point and being that I grew up from the seed on Zelda, this touched my heart, man. Thank you.

[@jond]

Bravo 👏🏼 feels like something I’ve waited my whole life to see. Incredible job to you, RwanLink, and everyone involved

[@benjaminbunny64]

That was absolute perfection! It actually brought a tear to my eye! THIS is what the Zelda film needs to be like. Your talent is out of this world man

[@88gschannel39]

As an Ocarina fan, this is gorgeous. And I love the tie in with Skyward Sword and other games. I'd watch this before I'd watch a live-action adaption

[@springcougar1]

This is incredibly impressive. The art style and animation is impressive in itself but the attention to detail and how you directed it is amazing. I just finished replaying OoT so its still fresh. I cant imagine how hard you must have worked on this. Amazing work. Thank you.

[@a.jthomas6132]

What a great way to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary! This is exactly what we needed for a Zelda movie. Not the live action version. 🎉 ✨ Many thanks for making this amazing short film and how you made Castle Town more alive than ever. 👏

[@JoseGomez-br6dq]

Asi es , gente dejenme decirles con la verdad , mario la pelicula , esta genial , pero solo en todo que no sea el guion , no me gusta como hecharon a perder la imagen q tenia de mario , y es lo mismo q senti cuando anunciaron el live action de tloz , no quiero q manden a la mierda la imagen q tengo de link y del mundo de tloz en general desde la primera vez q jugue el ocarina of time

[@CantSleepWithoutZopiclone]

You're right.
