Ocarina of Time Link became an ol' man, too. He lost his right eye to a scar, got married to the country girl named Malon, had kids with her, became a gramps (with Malon as the granny), an' died after he was wounded in his last battle. I could tell by the ceremonial armor he was wearin'. The way he called Twilight Princess his kid by sayin', "My child." It could mean that he was his daddy. It's a rare possibility fer an elderly couple to be parents to a newborn son/daughter, but it's a reality fer elderly couples who've been blessed with that possibility (by the Heavenly Dad and His Son Yeshua the Creator makin' it possible), like Abraham an' Sarah havin' Isaac as their son when they grow old in the Old Testament (the Old Covenant), Zacharias and Elizabeth havin' John the Baptist in the New Testament (the New Covenant), AND the grandparents in Father of the Bride 2. So I could agree with theory that he's their kid (biologically). He said "bloodline" 'cuz they came from the heroic bloodline (commoners who had the Soul of the Hero). They say descendant when they coulda been direct with sayin' great-great-grandson. He also said, "My child." So he could be the pops who couldn't stay with his son 'cuz he was dead fer years (while his son still lived in Ordona province, bein' raised by the villagers), but helped him with teachin' some of the songs with them howlin' stones (with his wolf form howlin' after hearin' the wind) AND the 7 Hidden Skills. The first time Link saw his dad's spirit was when he was gonna go inside the Forest Temple. That led to his first time in the Ghostly Ether. The skill he was learnin' first was the Ending Blow. The last time he saw his spirit in Twilight Princess was 'fore he got inside the castle ta meet the Dark Lord Ganondorf (the manipulator behind the Twilight Invasion). The last skill was the Great Spin (only available when his health was full). By learnin' all 7 skills, he helped his daddy with his regrets. He was even called his "child", not just in the sense that he was his pupil, but in the sense that he was his own blood. In the dub made by Zelda Universe fer Twilight Princess, the Hero's Shade a.k.a. Ocarina of Time Link flat-out said, "To my son." He meant Twilight Princess Link. He also called 'im his son in Twilight Shadow. There's also the fanfic called A Hero's Son which has Twilight Princess Link as Ocarina of Time Link's son.

​@@leigheaux928 From what I understand it's actually a way of "reseting" the world so if (for instance) you were to somehow destroy every single weapon in the game you wouldn't be stuck and unable to continue. It also is a way to cleanup all the random drops you may have left lying about so the game doesn't slow down (and crash) from trying to load too many assets.

True to the Zelda franchise, he not allowed to talk and we're (the player) supposed to imagine our words being his. In other words, its intentional. I believe I read somewhere that Nintendo likes it this way so the player can feel like he is Link instead of "ruining" it, or something.

Zelda would be played by Gwyneth Paltrow and is a priestess or farm hand instead of a princess. Link would be a prince or servant, no in between, played by The Rock. Ganondorf would be a western outlaw from the desert played by Toby McGuire and they are holders of the sacred necklaces left by the ancient kings of the past and together they summon captain planet.

One that we will read to our children before bed, just like Robin Hood or Peter Pan, and have them excited to hear what comes next. Until the day they grow up enough to play the games themselves and live the world that only existed in storybooks, imaginations, and dreams.

Damn... this was actually deeply moving. I wish Nintendo would explore the story of a more elderly Link. I loved the masterful use of ambiguity at the end. The best stories leave room for us to ponder and interpret the events that transpired. Too often fan-fics become too tied in the literal, and I’ve always felt Zelda is a more spiritual story.

[@dayshallcomeagain]

I agree. I feel that the simplest, yet most spiritual moments in zelda are undoubtedely the best ones. Because at it's heart, Zelda is a spiritual story, despite it's many flaws.

[@rodolfomartinez4505]

@@dayshallcomeagain Yup! :) There's this intangible spiritual sensation to being in the world of Zelda. Not just Hyrule but places like Termina as well. I think a lot of it has to do with the mystery of those worlds, the words left unspoken and kept to the player's imagination.

And yet this video maintained interest of the newer generations of SS and BotW with strong emotional bonds between our protagonists and the introduction to a seemingly open world. Such nice balance, the world had story with so many minor details (Sheikah mark on the demon, the signs) that had you craving more. And omg, the elderly Link was bittersweet and fun to watch in battle, SUCH a nice touch. Yiga were hilarious with their bananas and very animated, Zelda and Link were skilled and true to character, but the elderly woman with her deranged character was the most fun to watch. I can't even fathom the beauty of the costumes, music, and effects. Everything was so well balanced, for 16 minutes I felt like a kid again exploring a Zelda game for the first time.

I'd honestly love a Witcher style Zelda series, but I'd flip my shit if they made Link talk and i think it'd be a bit difficult for them to decide WHICH versions of link and zelda to translate to tv. So many people would want Ocarina of Time, others Breath of the Wild, and some might even only want Twilight Princess. It'd be hard to choose or to remain serious/faithful to each version if they decided to perhaps merge all the links and zelda together as a way to make everything more cohesive.

Everything about this is beautiful. If there's ever a proper Zelda movie this is how I would want it to be. Not only is the story good but the whole thing is so well made and looks natural. There are so many live action Zelda videos where it looks like they tried too hard to make the characters look like the game and it ends up looking over-the-top and unnatural.

[@quinnsinclair7028]

I would love that but realistically there’s no way to continue something like this long term with Link remaining silent. Unless they just commit to it and make him mute and communicate with sign language.

[@Dorlinedainwen]

@@quinnsinclair7028 i disagree. You could have him quiet and do just like the game where people repeat what link 'says' and answers him normally. Eg 'oh you want to go to see the gorons?' Also strategically placing signs, using body language etc.

[@quinnsinclair7028]

Dorelinendenwen Ancalime Do you have any idea how awful that would be? First there’s just the logistics. Implying that a character can speak while pulling every cinematic trick you can to avoid actually showing it is a directorial nightmare. Every shot and scene would require five times the amount of planning. Even if you could do it, think about how unnatural that would look. Especially in long scenes. In a protracted scene say with the gorgon chief it will either play so awkwardly that no one would believe it or it will look like Link has no spine and is content to let the goron leader override him and assume everything he’s saying. It works in the games to some degree because we are in Link’s shoes and with a game you can have a dialogue prompt on screen and characters can respond to the prompt as of Link actually said something. The same thing doesn’t work in film. Realistically there is no way to imply that Link can speak but never show it. A film adaptation of Zelda has two options, Link speaks or Link is mute and communicates with other methods. There is no inbetween that works in a film medium.

[@huggableearth9832]

This is SO AMAZING!!! You captured everything Legend of Zelda is but with real people. The settings are perfect. I cannot believe this is fan made- You guys did an amazing job.

Everything was just gorgeously shot, acting and directing was spot on, amazing actors, great music, awesome storyline; EVERYTHING was breathtakingly executed!!! 👍😻😍💞 As already mentioned, the storyline is really nice, and I love how everything ties up. It's just so heartbreaking yet heartwarming how Link waits 60 years just to see Zelda again. Their reunion at the end is definitely my favorite scene, although everything in this video is flawless. I love, love, LOVE that shot at the end of the two graves next to each other. That really speaks volumes. 💔😍 Even though they didn't get together in life, Link and Zelda still get each other in death. ❤☺ You guys managed to make "mute" Link so natural. And old Link? Just as perfect! Splendid job, everyone! If they ever make an official Legend of Zelda film, I hope they learn from you guys and make it just as good (highly doubt they will top you guys though).
