A Beautiful Moment- A Zelda Animation

[@bpk0666]

You did such an outstanding job at giving this moment the emotion it held and giving both Link and Shiek personalities, and on top of that you managed to show Zelda hiding behind her mask. Masterfully done

[@kentaIzzy]

holy shit, Shiek is Zelda?! spoilers

[@pigeon_s]

@@kentaIzzy if I'm getting wooooshed, Sorry. But to be honest, this video is from the game ocarina of time, so you would be expected to know the whole game when watching this video, since this is a later part of the game

[@emilioramirez4150]

@@pigeon_s You are right

[@caxolog]

FluX Plus, by that same logic this video is a Spoiler because, it shows Adult Link.

[@kirisuma2186]

Well.... it is not just a mask where she is hiding behind.... this Zelda had the Power of Gender Bending on her side... at least if we can trust Shieks and Zeldas Entries in Super Smash Bros Melee

[@sarahrhinehart6551]

You can really feel how much Zelda wants to tell Link who she is in this. I had never really thought about from her perspective before...

[@Kaempfdog]

Sarah Rhinehart well OoT is has both Link and Sheik at very limited personality. Not that they have much choice. OoT was their first real attempt to incorporate story and just focusing on how good the game looked. (For the era) When they realized what could be done MM came around. Shame that the 3D remakes didn’t explore any further. Hopefully SS remake will actually explore further instead of just recreating the game instead of keeping its weaknesses.

[@ParadiseBirdAngel]

@@obsidianblackwing5370 Sheik is just a disguise Zelda used yo help Link on his quest, it had to hide her identity. That's why her eye color is different. Otherwise it would blow her cover

I am just curious as to how it happened

[@kozonalias3339]

These little skits gave Shiek way more character. I love how Nintendo portrayed Shiek, but little moments of just them would've been icing. Let's you really see what the character is thinking. Excellent work as always!!

[@jak5002]

How is it that literally every single video, you bring out such nostalgia in me that it makes me emotional, and each instance adds an even deeper meaning to a story that was already a timeless classic? Giving true feelings and emotions to characters we've always known, making them truly real, and having them leave a lasting mark that will never fade.

[@xxargonautxx9790]

I truly love how Zelda alway falls in love with Link, through out all their reincarnations they will alway be destine to have a love towards each other. Even if nothing comes of it, they will forever be together in the fate of destiny. (Also I’m not talking about a sexual love, I mean a true unconditional love to each other.)

[@thegoldenberry2138]

Honestly I love how much zelda shines through in sheik. At the beginning, she was so happy that link broke the curse and it was really wholesome. I can see how sheik is slowly becoming more zelda-like as these animations go on and its so well built, and, well, for lack of words, it is indeed very powerful :) keep up the good work

[@uriahRhone-medrano]

This was truly a beautiful moment ❤️ I noticed that "Sheik" tried to grab Link's hand. So sweet ❤️ I ❤️ theses Zelda animations. Please keep them coming 🙏

[@whatgsaid]

I’ve seriously never had a content creator make me as instantly emotional as you. It takes several viewings of your videos to catch every little detail. I’m just so grateful to you for giving us the story we imagined in our heads, but didn’t see until now 💕

[@soaringheart2203]

❤100%

[@coolvideoslover4606]

Zelda is peeking out from Sheik. The way she checks on Lake Hylia after being restored clearly shows it. I like the irony of Link sneaking up on her after she catches him unaware numerous times. Link's nervous smile at Sheik threatening him is hilarious. I love the catharsis in this video. They're halfway done. Sheik is trusting Link more than ever as she emotes more around him. You captured the beauty of Lake Hylia. As a child, it was easy to ignore it. As an adult, you can enjoy the scenery because you broke the curse. Sheik makes a point about enjoying the little moments of peace because the player is helping Link restore Hyrule little by little. I like how, despite opening up to Link, Sheik still has to run away, which disappoints Link and Navi because they clearly look at her as a friend and would rather team up than meet randomly. Overall, this was a good video. You capture classic moments and renovate them.

[@soaringheart2203]

Agreed! ❤

[@joxyver]

Link is one of the greatest silent characters of all time because he doesn’t have to say a word but you can understand fully what is going on, the emotion he is experiencing and how he reacts to it.

[@Emarella]

That tiny detail of Shiek imagining holding Link's hand just about killed me. As always, fantastic job. You do such a good job of saying so much and making it look effortless to create your videos. It's always a joy and excitement to see your work in my feed!

[@TJ-Henry-Yoshi]

3:30 SWAN DIVE! Great animation. I love how people add extra sentimental meaning to these short interaction from their original games

[@williamdakotacompton3088]

I need either a remake of this game with animations like this or a movie of this game. This is so nostalgic and great!!!

[@xtremecringe5708]

The colour of the scenery was absolutely gorgeous and the small details like Sheik's hair slightly moving with the wind are amazing. You clearly work hard for all of your animations and deserve more subs. Keep up the good work!

[@ErickRyant17]

The water reflection is really good

[@peachgirl1366]

Major Link, once again, you made a wonderful short! It was very sweet when Link and Sheik looked at the view together. It definitely hinted some romance! Link and Navi really wanted to know why Sheik kept running away from them, and Sheik really wanted to tell them who she is, but she didn't want to yet. As always, keep up the good work! 👸💗💟🌹💐🌸🎀🐱🦄🍰

I enjoy when more emotion is added to some of these older Zelda games. The manga series they’ve been putting out have done an excellent job with that, too.

[@CherkanRiuom]

I don't know how to explain it. I almost don't want to watch your videos because often when I watch them my heart dies, gains life, and dies again. It dies by seeing nostalgia, beauty, and something like an imagination I dreamed as a child coming to life. An old, innocent, beautiful dream that I can never get back. I always wanted to make videos like this but life has not allowed time to gain the skills needed. This also gives my heart life by making me so happy to see the video that gives me a glimpse of those lost dreams. What you have done with the characters is inspiring and often literally takes my breath away. To see it end, my heart dies again. Because I'm not you I would never share the exact same vision, but you have made my heart move several times with these videos. Thank you isn't really the right words. Nor do I know which ones are. May the speechlessness due to your work be worth more than a compliment.

[@rollarc8719]

a beautiful moment can make a beautiful day just like mine when MajorLink uploads 😃😄😁

[@silverdiamonde07tm77]

I love how your works so beautifully recreate key moments in this game, and add new dimensions as well while pulling our heartstrings. The soundtrack is always so beautiful too. Ocarina of Time was released the year I was born in and the game holds a very precious place in my heart; getting to see animations like this brings back memories of carefree childhood days. So thank you for making creations like this, you really deserve more recognition!

[@dayshallcomeagain]

I just noticed, the way Sheik/Zelda talks about Ruto ("We have to return peace to Hyrule for her sake, don't we?") makes it sound like she knows Ruto personally. Like as a close friend.

[@logger3885]

Each video is like so emotional

[@ikeillue8385]

This makes me remember old thoughts about this game, like, why Zelda suddenly becomes completely useless when its revealed that she was Shiek the whole time, when before that, Shiek was actually pretty B.A.

[@Hitalinic]

A very beautiful moment indeed.. Thank you to everyone who worked on this, again and always. ❤️

[@knightofflames284]

I think this is EXACTLY how Link should've been expressed in OoT, Link in OoT was only really surprised at things and never really showed anything else in my opinion so it's nice to see facial expressions of Link and how you can easily depict how he's feeling based on those facial expressions.

[@gukeoke6312]

You sir, are a master of telling stories through facial expression and body language.

[@ZMusok]

Something I noticed only after watching the video multiple times: When Shiek is standing next to Link around 2:07, his/her hands are hold in the "typical" Zelda position. A little clue of Shieks real identity (if you didn't know about it before hand)

[@MajorLink]

Nice catch!!

[@DBZgeek2000]

I only played the 3DS version (but I'm working on the N64 version thanks to an emulator) and I love these animations. I remember feeling so proud when I finished the Water Temple (both normal and Master modes) without KZbin. Took hours of running in circles but I did it. These animations really give the cutscenes that extra bit to make them seem movie-like

[@joeyrelentless3618]

Ocarina of Time + Very good dialogs + Werh good characters development = Very good animation ! Great job man !

[@interhistoria5632]

Beautifully done, this really gives Shiek and therefore Zelda, a lot more character. The little glances and motions speak volumes of all the things they wanted to say. Running away before they couldn't take holding the guise any longer.

[@SylverMage]

The little motions in this video are absolutely magnificent. Like Sheik facepalming about being caught unawares, or Link's huff of frustration at the end. You can really feel Zelda's loneliness in this one, I find. Fighting against Ganondorf's forces all alone for so long...it must be nice to finally have someone to fight WITH. But to reveal her identity would be disastrous, as we find out when Ganondorf pounces so quickly after she IS revealed. And that's lonely too.

[@emym.8828]

No matter how closer they seem to get in each video, as the story progresses, they're still separated... By a small distance which becomes an enormous gap that can't be crossed, or by natural elements (the house, the bridge, the tree)... There's always something between them, literally as well as mentally. Thank you for your outstanding job, you give so much meaning and emotions to this scenes !

I quite literally just beat Ocarina of Time for the first time (yeah i know i'm 22 years late) about 12 hours ago. I read the manga before though, so while i knew the story it was really interesting playing it for myself. However, in all the cutscenes i felt that there was a lack of emotion. I know there's only so much you can do with polygonal models, but it was sort of hard to empathize that much. These animations bring out so much raw emotion and feeling that I felt the game needed. Outstanding work, really.
