carmen a. gonzalez rios pstd yes, but hey, he married malon when they grew up. He stayed over at the ranch when he came back. Talon took him in as a worker. And later on in life, he goes on to become a knight just like his dad was. So on the whole, he did ok. Up until his death in war, never seeing his kids grow up to pass anything on to them..until a hundred years later in twilight.

[@chaoticneutralsheep]

@@carmena.gonzalezrios8372 I wouldn't say it's confirmed in Twilight Princess, as the hero's shade was a royal guard and for him to have died in battle to Ganon that would mean that Majora's mask never took place in that timeline (according to the book, MM was a failed timeline). Yet skullkid says he's been waiting for the hero and starts playing around with puppets and makes no nod to the stalfos of his friend, plus the sacred grove entrance of majora's mask is visible in TP. The heros' shade concept art is proof that the game dev's did not intent for him to be OOT link as they depicted the character as a samurai, a twilight, or a woman. Not to mention the hero of time's wish was to be reunited with his friend Navi, not to be remembered as a hero, OOT Zelda even gives him a second childhood because she believed it was unfair. Hyrule Historia is a complicated and was something for the fans to enjoy but came after TP and early games can't all be tied together neatly. Either way the hero's shade being OOT Link feels like a mistake when later lore suggests Link is a reincarnation.

[@trevorvallo5841]

This timeline is so sad and depressing. Link gets sent back in time and everything he has done goes undone. Everyone forgets him, his friend is long gone, and he has to live a life where he is no longer the hero, but a former shade of himself.

Majora’s Mask has a special place in my heart. It was my childhood. My uncle had muscular dystrophy and was paralyzed everywhere but his fingers by the time I was 5, so playing video games was one of the only things we could actually do together. we spent literal hours going through this game and finding all of the secrets. He passed away a year ago, and I still have the GameCube he gave me, and the same copy of Majora’s Mask we used. Sometimes I load up his file and play it, and it’s like we are playing it together again.

[@madnightguard6296]

*bacc

[@gingerneutral_audios]

The best thing about this is that even though it's still a much happier ending, there's still that lingering thought. The mask salesman's last question he asked Link "Are you happy?" Sure, Link got some temporary solace, but he still never seemed to find his "invaluable friend." And so that final visual of him in the armor he eventually died in (or at least wore in his afterlife). And so I can definitely say I too feel a strange sadness as dusk falls.

[@Wolffman109]

I never even thought of that! Maybe Nintendo isn't as bland-storied as we thought! Maybe at the beginning of Twilight Princess, when Rusl is discussing feeling the strange sadness as dusk falls, he's not talking about the Twilight Realm, he's talking as if he can feel the despair of the Hero of Time/Hero's Shade! After all, the inhabitants of the Twilight Realm (save for Zant, obviously) don't seem sad at all about being eternally trapped in the Twilight Realm. So, here's my theory: Rusl is a long-lost, long-forgotton descendant of the Hero of Time, much like Link, that even the Hero's Shade doesn't remember. This could possibly explain how he knows so much about wielding a sword (although, he could've just trained a LOT), and how he can feel the sadness as dusk falls, which most likely points to the regrets of the Hero's Shade. Let me know what you think!

[@stephaniel3998]

Way to hit me in the gut

[@randyrandalman8234]

The beauty of the question "Are you happy?" is that is there no right or wrong answer. While Link lost a friend in Navi, his new adventures in Termina introduced him to new experiences and new friends. When there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow.

6:30 Imagine making sacrifices and even risking your life to help other people and make them happy.Then, in the end, you get to see them be happy and enjoying themselves which makes you glad and all but....you yourself are not happy, not really. Imagine continuing your journey through life despite this and after experiencing hardship after hardship you just...die. Alone. Far away from home. Unrecognized. Full of regrets, because you could't find your lost friend that abandoned you so long ago, without saying a word, even after all that you have been through.

I cry everytime when I see "Live the Rest of your Days Happy!" Dude you made this Real Emotional which Nintendo didn't do with the Original Majora's Mask Ending! Kudos to you MajorLink

[@ScourgeBladeZelda]

This is a great take on Majora's Mask's ending. I especially love that the skull kid does feel regret for everything he did during the game and your problems with the original ending are valid but your version also come with a problem imo. While Link playing with Skull kid at the end is very heartwarming and I like it, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't feel quite right in the context of the narrative. What I mean by that is, MM's ending symbolizes happiness. Everyone is happy, Clock town, the Deku, Gorons, Zoras, Romani and Cremia, and the couple of Anju and Kafei. Even the Skull Kid is happy at the end. but one person isn't. Link. He isn't celebrating with everyone nor does he care about taking credit for saving Termina. He only cares about finding Navi so he just leaves. So in that context, your ending where he stays and plays with the skull Skull Kid doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The hero of time is the way he is because he doesn't know much else. He was taken to the forest as an infant by his dying mother where he was ostracized for not having a fairy. And when he finally did get one he was forced to save the Deku Tree from dangerous monsters only to realize his efforts were in vain and watch his father figure die right before his eyes. He then had to leave his only friend behind and travel to Hyrule to go on a world saving quest where he was basically told, "You must risk your life to save this land you know nothing about from ruin by an evil tyrant. it's you destiny wither you like it or not. go get em." He just had all this thrust upon him by people saying it's his "destiny" he had 7 years of his life robbed from him, where he learns his entire life up to that point has been a lie and has no choise but to swallow his sorrow and venture forth. And after he defeats Ganondorf and finishes with his quest, he was brought back to the past undoing everything he worked towards, with Navi leaving him in the process. So he goes on a quest to find her and gets dragged to Termina where he has to relive the same 3 day nightmare over and over or else everyone dies. And when he finally succeeds and stop the mask's rampage, he just leaves to continue his search for Navi who is more than likely long gone and dead. From all of this, it leads me to believe The Hero of Time doesn't know how to have fun or be truly happy. Hell, even as an adult and a ghost in Twilight Princess, he still has tons of regrets. They say "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them". And I think this describes the Zelda series to a T. The Hero of Time is a tragic character. most people who criticize him just don't look hard enough. Great video though. XD

[@iamaioshi]

Amazing. The story and nostalgic style, is so perfect

[@coolvideoslover4606]

This was one of my favorites. You capture the guilt that Skull Kid felt for nearly destroying Termina. And the theme of forgiveness was very on point as Tatl, Tael, Link, and the Four Giants forgave him. The scene of Link and Skull Kid was endearing. You rarely got to see Link happy and playful because of the events of both games. I like how you captured Link's depression based on the conversation with the Happy Mask Salesman. And Link getting depressed after he parts ways with Skull Kid shows that the trauma of the previous game took a toll on him. The last image of an adult Link in armor shows that his adventures are far from over. He will become a spirit in Twilight Princess and help his descendant to defeat Ganondorf again.

[@nm5329]

Ground rolls are usually easier to pull off than cartwheels.

[@sliceninja4546]

You have to remember he was probably still carrying around those heavy equipment in his inventory. His sword and shield probably didn't help either ^^;

[@BlueDewBungaloo]

This put a smile on my face. After completing Majora's Mask, I was craving for more things about it, watching this it made me cry. Oh of how I dream and daydream and wish with all my heart that I'd one day have skull kid by my side as a friend or even a brother. Oohh I know it will never happen but oh do I wish. How Many of you think Majora's Mask is the best? Its my #1

[@wolfensteinassassin2744]

Frisk The 8th soul I agree I’ve played a good number of Zelda games and Majora’s Mask is my favorite

[@Malign_Amara]

This was a great job. Part of this animation reminds me of a principle that I know. If you think about this Link and the Hero's Shade, the Hero's Shade is a representation of regrets and happiness that Young Link never got to experience. If you strive to make others happy, it is indubitable that they will achieve such a state, but as a result, the one who strives to make others happy must take on their sadness as their own. This was thoroughly done. Great job! As a joke, if you go to 2:25, you might see the smile of Link. I'd like to think he looks slightly constipated. Poor Link. He should get that checked out.

[@gammaburst3946]

Now I'm curious of what young link would look like in breath of the wild

[@BunnyRupers]

In Mipha's diary, she mentions knowing him when he was 4 or six (i dont remember) but just imagine how cute and tiny he would be!!!

[@wooby4104]

smol boi do a smol screm when he's breaking pots lol

[@Hope_mochi]

Well basically he’s like 7 or 8 years old in oot and mm

[@sakam0t071]

Hope. _.mochi OOT AND MM IS THE SAME GAME

[@whoamarcelus]

BadMadRabbit That could be believable considering Zora's life spans could be over 200 years

[@kimknute6777]

Of all your videos, this is my favorite. I think it's your best story. The game made me crazy playing it, but this video gives it more. It gives it a moral and lessons about true friendship. It actually gave me a better meaning to the game, to appreciate it more than just the aggravation of the Time theme for playing. The words of wisdom from the mask salesman on parting of ways. So inspiring to make you think of that aspect. Thank you Major Link. To me, this is your finest work. Friends are a good thing to have...... Kim 🌸

[@abrahamcastillo7601]

Notice at the ending link is wearing the same armor the hero of time did in twilight princess. He is link from ocarina teaching link in twilight princess those powerful skills. Amazing

[@darken27]

Pretty sure Nintendo confirmed that the Heros Shade was the same Link from OoT/MM and the Link from TP is a direct descendant.

[@BrockHewittStoriesinSound]

Was so glad we could bring back the solo piano vibes for this one man!! Can't wait for the next project :)

[@DoomPickle490]

I just want you to know these are truly beautiful and heart warming animations you do and I honestly hope that you get hired someday for your skills.

[@darwinleon81]

That was so beautiful. I'll be fan of zelda forever, a this, is my favorite. Love this ending!

[@Kurasai56]

omg, I literally burst out laughing at 8:16 when links jumps out the brush with the mask of truth on and scared the skull kid, this is amazing! thank you so much for this!!!

[@AsherFox04]

This is so cute! I love how Link and Skull Kid are playing together.

[@dancalf]

I've always believed Link returns to find Skull Kid when he is older. Specially because skull kids are kids that get lost in the woods and stalfos are adults that get lost in the woods and they became each creature respectively. So I believed in the end of (Ocarina of Time) Link's lifetime he comes back looking for Skull Kid and since he lives in the Lost Woods with Skull Kid, he ends up becoming a stalfos.

[@Wolffman109]

Wouldn't the Triforce of Courage have protected him? Then, when he finally died, the Triforce of Courage would have gone to his descendant, Link from Twilight Princess?

[@shadowsinmymind9]

That always confuses me because wouldn't children become stalchilds instead of skull kids because skull kids look nothing like stalfos

[@nedimnickelto]

actually heros shade isnt a stalfos but rather a sort of ghost that looks like a stalfos, hes a spirit since he can also turn into a wolf and also create the dimension where he teaches TP link his moves

[@syluxmetroidfan856]

Heroes shade though

[@itsjavik792]

*SPOILER FOR END* The transition from young link to Shade had a perfect synchronization with the song. PERFECT

[@C.L.G._Artisa]

Aww, they looked so happy playing together. Friendship is magic! 😋

[@faby_baby]

Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on KZbin and a KZbin channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and he will. God Bless :)

[@noordragneel1657]

The ending killed me. This entire video made me cry. Your animations are beautifully created and the scenes are so rich with detail and emotion. This takes so much work and effort to make and I commend you for it. Your work really does pay off. I love the Zelda games already. These videos just bring out the best of the games. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@Somerandomdude____]

The ending is really good this should be a ending in majora's mask

[@krystalbuten3403]

I think that your animations get better every time! Amazing job, especially with your model rigging and the small little details like the wind blowing.

[@ShadedGlowstoneBRO]

I love seeing link so expressive, now I can actually be invested in his character

[@Th3DankestMemer]

I love how this almost looks like secret ending in an HD/3D remake of Majora's Mask.

[@Narwhale720]

This was really beautiful but the end got me crying! But this only made the video itself better since it was really emotional. Thank you so much for making this amazing animation!~

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Your channel is one of a handful that truly should be the only ones with a million subs. You really have a gift and your animation projects are special. Majora's Mask holds a special place in my heart forever, & you literally captured everything that made this adventure amazing.

[@Mr.Moustache2]

Ugh.... I cried when I beat Majora's Mask. Then I watch this years later and I STILL get teary eyed man I love this game and this animation good job.

[@JZKittyGaming]

Great job MajorLink, you made me cry, once again, awesome work! Keep them coming, even if I keep crying 😊 that ending .... 😢

[@SigilWizardClassic]

I loved how you transitioned to the Hero's Shade at the end. Brought tears to my eyes. This Link's story is so sad it's unreal.

[@Lady_ETHNE]

7:50 Ok so is no one going to talk about the look Link had on his face after the skull kid asked him to play? He looked like he had been waiting for this all day 🥺 This animation is absolutely amazing and I love how you interpreted Majora's ending

[@failedhook7140]

Thank you for bringing more life to these games and reminding me of my childhood and the times long ago when I had no worries

[@crowmoon9556]

The ending hit me right in the feels. Legend of Zelda has always been my favorite series,and OOT was the first video game I ever beat. One of my only regrets is I havent beaten Majora yet. Well done MajorLink. I love these animations.

[@ZealotTormunds]

All the Salesman's dialogue starting from 5:48 is so powerful. Loved this.

[@g.steitz8619]

Happiness comes and goes, it never really lasts...however this is very cute and it’s from my all time favorite Zelda game!!! Beautiful work+++MajorLink :)

[@g.steitz8619]

I’d also like say your animations have good morals

[@Ender-Beats]

Four years later, this is still incredibly beautiful, but it is amazing how much your craft has improved these years!

[@margaretrhoads592]

I really loved the subtle emotions put into the animation (a good example being: Skull Kid hesitating a few times before reaching up to touch the Giant's hand). It was hilarious to see Link acting like the actual kid, and the last few seconds were a surprise, and one that was quite a bit more emotional than I expected. Great job!

[@austincowles1880]

Beautiful. I'm really hoping you eventually make a video where the Hero's Shade finally *_does_* reunite with Navi again.

[@mascvra143]

yes!!! Please! It would make my heart so happy!

[@kimknute6777]

[@tonytan5945]

[@animatedmovie7266]

its exactly what they didn't show us in major's mask end. awesome, well done.

[@timmyv148]

Holy crap immediately made me tear up. I love this, the music and everything animated so well. Thank you for making this.

[@madisonharborth9056]

these beautiful, heartwarming zelda animations are amazing. keep doing what you're going because they always get to me in so many ways.

[@jams-0739]

This is so sad... 1:20 is my reaction to this whole thing... damn. (Link's facial expression) The oath to order giant March sounds so much sadder. I'm actually tearing up.

[@Sophia_Gamer-pg1ne]

This made me cry its been so long since I miss to play majoras mask

[@forestcat8079]

Yah this ending is far more fitting then the original heck even gives skull kid a character arc

[@rainestoehr431]

This was amazing, I loved it so much! That ending, just those last few seconds, they made me cry. I wasn’t expecting them so it hit me in the gut. Just... ugh! Beautifully done, just amazing

[@trustinnorman3698]

This is just personal preference I suppose, but I like the older version of the happy mask salesman as it just adds an air of creepiness to him that just suits him. The newer model doesn't seem to capture that as well in my opinion, but all well.

[@monadoyoshi6178]

I agree with you about the old model

[@beepthesheep443]

This was too beautiful the animations are so awesome and the story oh my goodness this is amazing

[@marktheaverageperson7022]

I love it when young link acts like a kid It must be real good for him to forget the Ganondorf stuff for a while and just have fun

I love how this was made especially in keeping to the aesthetic to the game while keeping the emotion impact. Really well done.

[@sebbie0112]

Wow! That was so beautiful! It made me cry!!! You did such a GREAT and FANTASTIC job with this video. It was breathtaking, moving, and thought provoking. I loved it!

[@valentinehill6138]

I’m not gonna lie as a child I’ve loved legend of Zelda so I get emotional about the friend ship with link and skull kid I started tearing up at 8:20 when they’re carving they’re selves... sigh 😔💝
