Drowning in OoT: -dramatic choking followed by lifeless floating and sombre music- Drowning in Link's Awakening: "BLERP" -reappears-

I remember actually regretting link drowning in Twilight Princess.

[@Matschaak]

I modded my Face into Twilight Princess XD

[@Akirafox05]

Right, since it's so unsettling

I mean it’s pretty cool.

[@shawnbay2211]

I’ve never seen link actually drown in Wind Waker. That was so brutal 😧

[@FullMetalFeline]

Really? I think thats the one I've seen most of since most of the map is water, I was always tempted as a kid to see how far I could get him to swim before he drowned lol

[@The_Dragon-Human_hybrid]

Twilight Princess seemed more brutal to me

[@TikiLink]

I call myself a fan and I had no clue that could happen with the bomb.

[@TikiLink]

@@FullMetalFeline I think he means the part with the bomb

[@Aurora-qn2dx]

Twilight princess most brutal..i seen wind waker the most.

[@remiwalrus454]

omg this is wonderful

[@RetroKane]

The fact that they even gave zora link a drowning animation in MM was such a strange choice lol

[@noecases5940]

Really isn't drown, only dies

[@coolerthanu8402]

ah yes, let’s watch link drown for 33 years 👌

[@thedepressedguydoesstuff]

I absolutely love how they made every senario something that could very realistically happen to an average player, it really adds to the realism lmao Great video 🤣👍

[@Zlinkra]

except majoras mask

[@Zlinkra]

well normal link

[@thecrocthief1555]

There's some one out there who really hates link, but they will love this video lol

The people who hate link probably call him “zelda”

Oh man, love this evolution way more than I thought I would. Cool to see all of the games start to finish.

[@SuperNova077]

Me at 3 pm: wow can’t wait for bed Me at 3 am: definitely gunna watch this 13 minute video of link dying 600 times

[@qactustick]

I either forgot or never noticed that entering water without the flippers causes damage in Ages/Seasons, but doesn't in Awakening.

[@yonghunoh354]

Seeing those gameboy classics took me way back.

Really underrated Zelda games imo

Facts

[@jasminejohnston6393]

A test room in Wind Waker’s files has transparent water that shows that Link has a swimming animation that’s usually unseen by the player because WW’s water is usually opaque!

[@randomwolfygirl]

3:06 he's gobbling the water down to his throat XD

[@AKaidanator]

Lil boi tryna drink the ocean- OH SHIT HE’S DROWNING

[@videogamephenomhd]

It's such a shame that the Zora Tunic never made way in Majora's Mask.

[@abrahamnoelirabor4540]

You literally become a Zora

[@noecases5940]

WHY will use that clothes when you become a Zora?

[@xboxgamer8381]

3:36 the way he just looks at the screen three pulls out a bomb

[@DenisSailor1995]

0:15 It works if you don't have a Zora's Flippers!

[@charlymundo1439]

Wind Waker came out 20 years ago and hasn't aged anything, beautiful game!

oot is so dramatic but perfect

I just started wind waker and immediately made him drown

[@Randomdude20965]

In Majora's mask if you drowned maybe ben drowned might be there 😂

[@Water_Fire444]

Bro it’s so funny how link in majora’s mask has an animation of him drowning in form of a Zora lol

[@user-wj8vj6fk4r]

Ah yes, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, my favourite Zelda game...

[@fwfailed]

Weird choice 🤔

@@miguelgarces8946 It's a joke, chill

[@Soulintent95]

Hearing that phantom hourglass music again... man i wish theyd find a way to port that game to switch. That game is so good. I got my ds all zelda-ed out with a special casing and a new stylus just for that game and i played it to hell and back. It was amazing to be able to play a 3d zelda on a handheld. Just as amazing as it was to play a 2d one on a handheld on a green screen.

[@agentinfinityakajonathanbe7815]

Four Swords Link be immune to drowning.

[@RockmanZeroModernDay]

Link in some games: Help, I'm drowning Link in Awakening, Four Swords and Minish Cap: I'm fine.

[@SonicTheHedgehogX15]

Ocarina of time and majoras mask are the most brutal, bros fighting to breath again, till hes dead

[@WaluigiPlushBros]

[@pinguinosovietico]

As a kid, I was curious how would link drown in TP so I drown him, and after watching how dramatic it was I tried it a couple more times to make his back go above water, looking back it's pretty fucked up

[@ImChristain]

I can't begin to imagine how long it took u to edit this video

[@LA_2017]

I remember when I said that I hated getting burned in Zelda games but I use to hated drowning at the zora’s domain

AWESOME VIDEO!

But where is Ben drowning?

[@Adrian.R850]

Not being able to swim in video games is just pure cancer sometimes.

[@Xosgni]

Me- "Who would watch this?" *proceeds to watch video*

[@tamered3174]

Fun fact the scariest version of link drowning was in majora mask

[@The_Dragon-Human_hybrid]

What about Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess?

Evolution of Losing in Mario Kart Games (1992-2021)

[@Superemie401]

3:39 8:26 Link: I warn you, I’ll die.

[@pseudonymous317]

this confirms that the original legend of zelda link was the smartest of them all, since he knows better to not walk into the water, knowing that he can not swim (kinda helps that he manage to solve some of the weirdest puzzles with weirdes hints in zelda history as well). but since it's supposed to be the same link in AoL, something must have happen for him to lose all of his logical reasoning. so what if, AoL is actually set in the dark world, and you're actually playing as THE dark link (or in some timeline/ the past, ravio), while the dark link that you fought in the game, is actually the hero from the first game. wow. - _knowing the internet, i know that i need to say this first: dont take this seriously, im just having fun lmao_

[@JosuDump]

Single word *B E N*

We all want youtube views, but man, coming up with this list and reeling it in. Props for finding it out but also shame on us all for clicking. Quantity over quality as it seems

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

We need more Death Animations of our player character dying and doing Death Animations we need more Death Animations for Sonic Spyro Rayman and others.

[@trevdoesweirdthings]

The fact that I watched the whole video makes me think I should find some help

Twilight princess and breath of wild deaths are so brutal you cant respawn its GAME OVER

Yup in melee you just launch through water like a brick

Can someone please explain why this popped up in my recommended lmao Edit: Wait why didn't I know that you could swim in wolf form in Twilight Princess-

[@antonyc.7173]

There was potential for the Iron Boots drowning animations to be the most disturbing. Link just needed to stay standing.

[@abdullahzark4868]

Dem the music 5:01😂🎼🎵

I always thought the Twilight Princess death music was so scary!

Skyward sword art, Is the best in terms of art. Badass more realistic than the cartonist bland recent zelda games. ALTTP for the plot and imersive gameplay, skyward sword for the art .

IDK why but drowning in windwaker was my least favourite experience

[@atlas956]

i was NOT emotionally prepared to see child link actually drown dramatically… :(

[@woweezowee5826]

Why did you show the LA deaths 3 times when they are all identical?

In the Switch remake you can now lose hearts, while The original and DX you don’t(unless if I’m wrong about it)
