Attached - Animated Short Film

[@bitter-bit]

"attached to a broken home. It can feel like dying to let go. Closing the door on one life and opening the door to a new one." Any child in an abusive household needing to let go and make new and healthy memories can understand this feeling.

[@BRACE_The_Ace]

I was looking for the words for something like this, thank you. You didn't have to hit me in the feels even more 😭

[@shadowforge]

"I was contemplating over and over whether it was a good idea to post my film on a Zelda-only channel y'know?" Dude this isn't a "Zelda only" channel, Its your channel. You have put out some amazing videos and honestly we would think nothing less of you if you wanted to add more to your content.

[@MajorLink]

Thank you!😊

[@michaelreuter2524]

​@MajorLink Yeah dude, what you make is not only narratively compelling but told in such a way as to tug at heart strings in ways I didn't know I could have pulled. I'm currently watching the majority of your library of videos and am willingly choosing to lose sleep over it. Your LoZ is amazing, but this nothing short of amazing. Please for the love of God, keep making such amazing stories, we won't care if it's Zelda or not.

[@TheArtCorner74]

This is really beautiful and honestly connects to me on a personal level. I was a weird little kid but I would personify a lot of the objects I had from the tv in my room to my lamp and would never want to throw them out or stop using them because I'd think they feel abandoned even though I should know they probably don't actually have emotions. It's just a subconscious thing I do when it comes to objects I personally own especially if it's something I've owned for at least a year.

[@LoinkLoink]

I did the same thing with the things I owned. I refused to get rid of a clothes basket for the longest time even though it had sharp plastic edges and was old and bent, because it was a big part of my childhood. And I still do have some of my stuffed animals, now belonging to my younger brother, except for one, who stays with me.

[@raylaknight6753]

Lol same I still have my old cassette radio I got for Christmas also still have my Pouncer cat back when Petz was popular 😅

[@princessnintendo6340]

I've done the same thing. All my old video game systems were my loyal pals as a lonely kid. I'd often make sure to leave the characters inside the games in a comfy spot out of subconscious feelings that they would be lonely or scared where I left them for months or years at a time (In a dark dungeon with monsters or something) I guess I felt they took care of me in real life in a way so it was an honorable thing to do as thier friend. Can't wait till I'm old and retired so I can visit my "friends" again. 🫂🎮

[@danyelfisherLink]

Same, especially after watching The Brave Little Toaster 😸

[@Transparente64]

The animation and graphics are so great for someone independent making animations like you.

[@yissychan]

Idk why but this made me tear up :’) what a wonderful short animation.

[@ArbiterPrime]

How was this comment 2 YEARS AGO?!!??!

[@Ahrva538]

Things I didn't expect to happen today: 1) Upload from MajorLink 2: To Cry over an old TV Set 3) To cry over an old TV set thanks to MajorLink Great job with this, it's absolutely beautiful and it hits is just a way that I'm having trouble put into words. Keep up with the amazing work, but above all, take care of yourself.

[@psychopompous3207]

Dude...as far as emotions are concerned, this is Pixar and Disney (Well, in their better days) quality. I'm so glad you released it to the public and that the TV got his 2nd chance. I was afraid he wouldn't have for a second there...

[@Flipdew]

I see, so this is where Ocarina of Time Link starts his family that eventually becomes Twilight Princess Link. Amazing Storytelling

[@Game_Hero]

Lol. He divorced Malon.

[@EMG_ART]

I must admit that you are the most underrated person in the world of animation (according to my opinion, because he is the only animator who does not have some fame or great recognition) And if you are reading this, follow your dreams and I hope you continue to release many more amazing animations.

[@MajorLink]

Wow, thank you so much for this comment! 😭😭

[@EMG_ART]

@@MajorLink no problem bro, just keep working hard for your dreams and one day you will become famous

[@thenitpickchannel9993]

@@MajorLinkyeah man you are underrated as hell to the point it’s almost sad. Keep up the good work it’s incredible.

[@tinyreader6759]

Doesn't matter that this isn't a Zelda video. You managed to hit me in the feels regardless. Thank you for conveying such poignant emotions in all your work. I can't believe you almost made me cry over a t.v. lol.

[@The_fastfreddy]

Well this was a nice little story

[@littlebird8515]

This gave me "brave little toaster" vibes.

[@sareli.]

I have been following your job for three years or so.. It is very nice to see how far you got. But more importantly, it is great to see you didn't give up.

[@ThundrSage]

This story actually made me cry a little. I LOVE this! The story is so simple yet so beautiful! I love watching your animations! I can't wait to see what you have coming next!

[@BlackDaisy23]

This was a wonderful story to watch. I'm glad you made the decision to share this with us here🧡 ...and yeah, it probably would have been lost if this was posted to a new channel. I'm happy to see anything you make on here, even if it is not Zelda related😊 You have an amazing ability to tell stories that pull you in and leave us wanting more. I can't wait to see what you have planned for the future🧡

[@Triboy64]

Same

[@mischefous]

This is beautiful Majorlink! The animation and lighting and just everything is stunning😭 and the lil TV is so cute hehe

[@_-dreamingunromantically-_4149]

This looks really cool! Can’t wait to see more from you, even if it isn’t Zelda related. You are really good.

[@tmartin95]

Never seen a TV anthropomorphized like this before

[@luiscorrales7440]

I don't whats is this, but due is from Major Link I'm still going to leave a like

[@ChobitsMyDears]

Dropped everything when I sawthe Notif and this was so beautifully made, well done❤️👏👏👏 don't be nervous about posting things that aren't zelda-related, your effort and work to create beautiful stories are what alot of people love to see🥹 thanks for posting this short film!

[@ryanbeck5014]

This is a pretty good short animation, reminded me a bit of the Pixar animation shorts I've seen before

[@_-insertname-_]

3 seconds in I was already betting I‘d be getting tears by the end. I was right. So, thank you for uploading this here, man.

[@NitsukyKimuraChan22]

Es curioso ver cómo un objeto llegue transmitir sentimientos como tristeza, miedo a ser olvidado y la desesperación por llegar a la persona y decirle ¡Hey no te olvides de mi! Y al final haber conseguido su objetivo no ser olvidado y ser nuevamente utilizado. No siento afección o tristeza por objetos ya que no tengo apegos por ellos, pero es entretenida la animación, esto me recuerda a otros cortometrajes, estuvo bonito el pequeño televisor y ver sus expresiones, no me dió tristeza, pero buen trabajó.

[@zeldanime]

This was like Pixar shorts level of feels, I really enjoyed this. I think any animation you’re a part of deserves to be on your channel. The power you have to convey emotion in what you make is what draws me to your stuff, not just the Zelda aspect

[@anaelsavalle1365]

That was beautiful, the style and the music combine perfectly with this little story Thanks for that

[@ParadiseBirdAngel]

This looks so good! The lightning is superb it certainly helps a lot with the story's feel

[@PhazonEnder]

This is easily one of the most heart wrenching, yet beautiful films I've seen in a long time.

[@defenderofthenorth52]

You only make works that are gorgeous and there are no exceptions

[@gregoriomacedo59]

This is depressing but so good at the same time I love it.

[@olasoysunny]

what a touching story, i even cried haha. how beautiful is your work ♡

[@BYROXI5000]

Just... LINKCREDIBLE.

[@blu3g]

As someone who feels way more empathy than he probably should for inanimate objects, this made me tear up really easily, and I'm not even sure I fully got it. This is amazing work, man

[@Starbat88]

This was a wonderful original animation. It hit me like the Brave Little Toaster.

[@karisjohanson7632]

Woah!

[@Tahkaullus01]

That was needlessly lovely. I see your alliance with Mr Hewitt continues. Nice.

[@The_Gaming_Arcana]

This made me think of the movie The Iron Giant. The sense that inanimate objects wanted to be something they couldn't but still pushed on regardless of everything that was against them. I feel that honesty, 10/10

[@Yominachi]

I love your channel, and it made me almost cry. I loved this animation so much, and I understand what is to be an independent artist.

[@MultiSadgasm]

The way the cord yanked the TV back made me tear up. The startled look on The TV 🥺

[@BestSomebodyNA]

Oh hey! You're Canadian (or maybe you entered it in some Canadian film competitions), cool to see that one of my favourite animators is also Canadian. Keep going, you're going places.

[@Omnia_Mundum_1.2.4]

It's like testing your community. Not everyone will understand you. But we do and we're more grateful

[@LazuliLupin]

I love this so much The Tv got a home ;u; 💜 But really, we're here to support you even beyond your LoZ content! We love seeing what you'll show us next, and we cant wait for any of your uploads! Please keep creating, even if its not fan-stuff!!

[@lemonade7275]

That animation looks incredible, it's amazing and beautiful ! Congrats to you and your team for making this !

[@vmcosplayproductions9727]

Beautifully done, and I can clearly see the love you put into your Zelda animations in this as well. I'm glad you decided to share this here, it was a pleasure to watch! And as always, Brock Hewitt knocked it out of the park as well. Beautiful!

[@uhhidk5474]

Dude, this is some Pixar stuff right here good job man Props to you and your team

[@Iffondrel]

I was so worried a garbage truck was going to pick the TV up. I was so relieved that he came back for him! Really hits that feeling of nostalgia, where I'm so fond of my old possessions that are blocky and out-dated and full of memories.

[@morinavampile]

I never thought I'd be tearing up over a little TV looking for a new home, but here we are. Wonderful job!!

[@jorsanxander4737]

That was great man, amazing work as always!

[@sapphirejade5029]

This was an interesting surprise! I never thought you'd be doing this. I was worried that something had happened, but here you are. I'm impressed!

[@pytw04]

still honored that you would share your creations with us :) even if they aren't zelda related, the feelings and story are still there

[@thearchitectwarrior5409]

Incredible job making the TV emote without needing additional humanization. Props on the prop design!

[@BigHeadClan]

Honestly I have no issues with you showing off other animation projects like this, we love your content not just because it’s Zelda but how because of your fantastic understanding of the lore, ability to capture emotion through gesture and direction of scenes. The years of working with characters that don’t speak or have much in the way of vocal expression is really on full display here. We know everything we need to know about how the TV feels and what it desires just from a few gestures and phrases on a Piano. It honestly reminds me of a episode from Buffy called Hushed where everyone looses the ability to speak. Fantastic work to all involved.

[@MajorLink]

😭😭😭😭 Thank you thank you so much!

[@draco5701]

This makes me think of the tube TV I grew up watching. Most of my childhood movies were watched on that TV with VCR tapes (I'm not even that old, lol). Thank you for the nostalgia!

[@ALinkttF]

Being able to make an inanimate like a TV show emotion is a skill. It reminds me of things like Pixars WALL-E and Especially the Cooker in Aardman's A Grand Day Out. Awesome!

[@ThatGinkot]

Hey man, I rarely comment or put likes, and I know you because you did Zelda animation, but this is your channel and this is what you make of it. So you post what YOU want, and I will love it ! (and surely not only me). This is also us watching your evolution, and I'm sure a lot of poeple wants to see what you do besides Zelda animation and how you improve. I loved this little animation film, how you used the cuts, how you placed the music... All of this is really important and I love how creators like you used those tools to make me feel things !

[@crankylink13]

Never in my life did I think I would feel bad and happy for a tv before 📺

[@gameroclast1903]

This piece is on par with the Pixar shorts or old, both in it emotional evocation and visual fidelity. If this wasn't on your Zelda-only channel, I might have thought it was by them. I would say the telling of a tale about Link's post-Termina exploits is in good hands, but your production of Hero's Purpose is proof positive of that.

[@sonicgamer178]

Damn this is amazing! I actually yelled "NO" when the owner drove away from the car and got super emotional.

[@jonathangraham1865]

Your use of the knobs to convey both eyes and facial expressions is amazing

[@its.fenanda]

this is so beautiful im gonna go cry and think about my place in the universe for a moment

[@TheOnlyOne516]

First time seeing a non-Zelda related animation on this channel but tbh I'm here for it

[@lonely_warrior]

Nice video, almost got a tear out of my eye, makes me think about how sometimes we can get attached to some object, from a simple toy we got when kids to even clothes

[@peachfuzz137]

Such a great a video, I felt so bad for the CRT Tv trying his hardest to get to his owner, but ultimately losing its power when the tv got unplugged and abandoned on the side of the road. But someone gave it a new home. It’s cliché but totally works in this scenario. “One man’s trash, is another man’s treasure” and also good tv for Retro Gaming!

[@IPerry8]

Absolutely stunning!! You should be extremely proud of this moving piece of media. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

[@HarmonyTRE]

I love finding random animated shorts to cry about before bed.

[@kristinrburkett]

This could have saved me all the anxiety of "The Brave Little Toaster" ...

[@Rayven001]

good ending

[@HanayoSora]

AAAAA THAT WAS SO GOOD!!! My heart melted through the entire film TuT

[@gregtom3272]

man , after years of following your channel , it feels refeashing to see you do some thing else other what your channel's content was about for years , you always put wonderful things , and what ever comes next of your futur works , i wish you good luck in making it happen

[@alfonsobiggers2452]

You have a gift my brother. I am moved by this, and that is a rarity in any media I consume. Your Zelda videos have always moved me, and this continues that streak. I think you could submit this to Pixar as a resume, that's how good it is! I will eagerly await more from you, whatever the project!

[@Zaylin999]

You tell stories so well Sean! You have such beautiful talent! Hope this platform can make all your goals/dreams come true!!! I will be here for that 100%!

[@Lalo-uu4dg]

Man, this looks like a nostalgic old-school Pixar film. I'm amazed how individuals like you can create content that can compete with content from multi-billion corporations. It would be great to see this channel expand by creating other animated films besides Zelda. Never stop impressing me Majorlink, never. Happy good day.

[@Majoras-Pet]

Holy HYLIA! This had me crying. You are so talented and I love your animations. They have so much emotion and you can't help but get happy at triuphs and sad at tragedies. You are so good at what you do. Keep it up

[@MichaelACurtis]

Very well done. Here I am tearing up over a TV that just wants to be useful.

[@SympatheticStrawmanVA]

You're an inspiration to artists everywhere.

[@alphawolf14.]

Dude don't you dare stop with the videos. You are incredible, and this is proof without a doubt! You did this in college for Pete's sake, and it is an amazing story! I can't wait for new videos, zelda or non-zelda!

[@ItsmeKat404]

That was so beautiful and the animation was beautiful. This is amazing you guys did amazing ^^

[@lKrlal]

AAAAH! This was beautiful! I was almost tearing up for the lil TV guy. Amazing production here. Great job, man!

[@TotoriArts]

I am super happy you shared this with us - it made me very emotional because there is so much room for interpretation.. and I think I never related to a TV before c': Never be afraid - this is your channel. If Zelda or not is all up to you and clearly it is worth staying anyways! I am excited for everything that is about to come! 💜

[@chuuyaschoker3294]

It's understandable how you would doubt about posting non zelda related stuff here but honestly your Zelda animations are just so amazing that I had to check this one too and I'm not disappointed ! I really love your animations and the way you tell stories, keep up the good work

[@elmeromero114]

Yes

[@shionrasenka]

This was really cute!! It gave me Brave Little Toaster vibes, haha. I'm glad you decided to take the plunge and share on here, ML!! And don't worry about being uncertain about posting non-Zelda stuff here! It's your channel, you can post whatever you like!

[@bustatrix1905]
