[@ESPRESSOJOEx11]

Appreciate you love of zelda, have the same love, just wish i can afford a switch to play breath of the wild again(brother returned it) lol and ocarina of time (personally my favorite)

[@therandomd2717]

Giuseppe Arena try to find a cheap 3ds for Oot or a cheap Wii U for Botw.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

Brandon, that’s why I timestamp sex during sex

[@Baytuh]

Not gonna lie i wish the Kf crew would do an in review series for games. Greg can do Uncharted and Tim can do Pokemon, hell i wouldn't mind doing a Halo one for them. This was awesome Barrett keep up the great work.

[@ryanwest5179]

YES 1000%. Would love a Pokémon In Review, Super Mario In Review, Metal Gear Solid In Review.... Would be some of the greatest content ever.

[@CasPoole]

I’d love to see more of these, but playing a game is vastly different from watching movie. Tim playing all the Pokémon games would be great content, but requires a lot of time that he simply may not have

[@ryanwest5179]

Cas Poole 100% agree. I couldn’t imagine more than like 1 of these In Reviews a year. You can tell how much effort Barrett put in to make this one and its fantastic. I’m not expecting them to make this a regular thing. But damn I’d love it.

[@tankanstein5125]

yes the in reviews are my favorite thing kf has done

[@BarrettCourtney]

Drinking Game Rules! Take a shot: - Everytime I say "whatnot" - That's it.

[@mrbean30392]

Thanks, i'm dead now.

[@aaronmalin5921]

I appreciate your level I self awareness. I too overuse the phrase "whatnot". Lol!

[@AlexBokan]

At least you're not dyin' if you're lyin'.

[@jimcroft8321]

its a great vid barrett yoou have a completely diff persona on this. i like both btw

[@MikeOlsen12]

Or say fuck 😂

[@MikeSpangler5]

This video is an incredible achievement and the level of detail is second to none. Even though i quibble with some of the games placement on the rankings or outright omission(no Minish Cap or Ages/Seasons?), I'm in awe of the work done here. The biggest things i took away from the video is how much i want to replay some of these games, and how great Wind Waker is.

[@tjhooker1215]

Disagree on Wind Waker being great tbh. About to finish it and it's been a pretty disappointed 3D Zelda.

[@mecklejay7587]

@@tjhooker1215 Disagree with your disagreement! It's a favorite. Top 3 for me.

[@gamefreak2050]

Yeah wait why did he exclude some main staple games? I feel like if you’re gonna make that long of a video might as well leave everything on the table

[@bradpoole238]

@@tjhooker1215 I love wind water but he bitched about empty worlds on other titles, that's emptier than skyward sword.

[@adamlupton2402]

Was watching this in full the greatest Zelda journey of all time?? and is Barrett the Hero we all needed?! Beautiful video.

[@lobolink2772]

Blessing- brings back PSILY Barrett- Hold my beer

[@TheRealMangolorian]

Truly inspiring work Barrett, your passion permeates through the entire piece! Honestly, all I want to do after watching the premiere is go play me some Zelda, and after that, make my first in-review on a nostalgic series deer to me: Mega Man Battle Network! Lots of love to you man, congrats!

[@preacherduderox]

The Mangolorian culture! Man of culture!

[@soberhippy8240]

Any other Skyward Sword fans in here??? It’s gonna be a big RIP for us lol.

[@JMGauthier]

I love Skyward Sword. The story is the best and I actually enjoyed the combat style. I didn't have any issue with them. The art style is very pretty and would love an HD refresh of it. I didn't mind the linearity either. Not every game needs to be open. The only issue I have is Fi. While I like her character as a companion and story element, I think they made her too hand holdy.

[@kennyofatoboiyo7447]

Skyward us my favourite. Best dungeons, best story also if you owned a wi motion plus it was nowhere near as bad as this guy is saying it is

[@soberhippy8240]

Jared Gauthier yeah I think a remake is gonna after 2021 because then it’s gonna be 10 years old at that point. I’m actually working on a video that’ll talk about how to rework the combat.

[@sow_scout4989]

@@soberhippy8240 Skyward Sword is actually one of my favorite Zelda in the series. Most complaints revolved around the motion controls. But if you stick with it and can get passed it, SS is actually a great one. Story and character is really good and really drew me in.

[@Evenmoresteven]

Skyward Sword is one of my favories soley because the dungeon design is outstanding. I get the hate though. The motion controls are good, but kind of alienates fans, and the repitition (silent relm, imprisoned battle, revisiting areas) is annoying.

[@the5starman926]

I'm stuck at work so I can't watch until later, just wanted to drop in to support Barrett, it is obvious how hard he worked on this and I'm super excited for him!

[@UhOhAngelo]

So much respect for you doing this, Barrett. Staying dedicated enough over such a long time to complete a project this big, this intricate, and of this high quality, is a HUGE HUGE accomplishment. Congratulations and relax, buddy. You've earned it. :)

[@garrettpeters9342]

This video reminded me of how much I loved Skyward Sword's story.

[@Wavebeam64]

i don't comment often, but when i do, it's because someone else has recognized the greatness of Wind Waker.

[@normancrane5845]

The lack of zelda content and discussion in kinda funny games hurts, so to get a FOUR HOUR LONG VIDEO from my favorite BARRETT was absolutely wonderful. even though I've only played breath of the wild and wind waker so far I was completely raptured by this entire video. gonna try playing through ocarina, majora, link between worlds, link to the past over the next few months just bc i'm so in the mood. thanks barrett, and thanks kinda funny for enabling a four hour long zelda series review, this is god-tier content

[@HEARD201]

Wow dude, this blew away my expectations. Seriously, amazing job, and congrats.

[@huntergerace5381]

Even if it's not on the list at all, The Minish Cap is still #1 in my heart.

[@1977kickasstour]

This is some of the best content Kinda Funny has ever made and honestly one of the best overviews of a series I've ever seen. Great job Barrett, hope to see more in the future.

[@BronoTrigger]

thanks for putting so much time and love into this video Barrett! it was a great watch

[@justinsimpson5082]

Thanks Barrett that was fun to watch over a few sittings, keep it up man looking forward to more Barrett projects

[@cometsuch]

Great Job Barrett. Thanks for putting this together, really enjoyed the content.

[@robguppy4729]

Work sucks right now, so this is really getting me through my day! Thank you to the one and only Boss Baby! Much love

[@pissant42]

LETS GO TWILIGHT PRINCESS

[@alexanderchilton911]

Wow can't wait for BoTW 2 after having watched this. Amazing job Barret! 1. BoTW 2. Ocarina/Majoras (love them equally). 3. Windwaker 4. Skyward Sword 5. Twillight Princess 6. A Link To The Past 7. Link's Awakening 8. The original 9. Zelda II

[@allcoveredup2406]

I REALLY enjoyed this! These are the projects I respect and truly appreciate. Thank you Kinda Funny for green lighting this passion project and more importantly, thank you Barrett. Here’s to brighter days 🤙

[@allcoveredup2406]

Also the (at this moment) 70 down votes, the fuck you doing!?

[@marcosanchez2820]

Thanks for this awesome video Barrett. Keep up the good work

[@Spall23]

Awesome work Barrett! My favorite Kinda Funny content is always when any of you guys talk about a game or topic you’re passionate about. Greg can enthrall me talking about Patapon (a game I had never even heard of), so you can guess that a passionate video essay from you on my favorite franchise is an easy way to get me to score this a strong 10/10. Keep it up bro.

[@Donemgalow]

I may not always agree with you're opinions on things, but you knocked this out of the park with this video. Great job, love to see more content like this from the KF games side.

[@soshwoink2203]

Had to stop the video because THAT INTRO WAS FIRE!!!!! Great job BOSS BABY!

[@IronicShenaniganz]

This was incredible. Not only is Barrett’s passion incredible and contagious, but he’s doing the lord’s work by explaining the timeline as it goes. Amazing

[@RonnyKeil]

This pretty great Barret. Not gonna lie, you didnt just shoehorn it, this right here is quality content.

[@HylianGuard37]

I am so ready for this just to be my evening tomorrow

[@ShinyRyuji]

Having only played Breath of the wild...this video definitely makes me want to play the entire Zelda series. Thanks!!!! Great Job

[@tylerliebel6080]

This was incredible to watch. Great job *chef’s kiss*

[@Howell2012]

This was a really good watch. I was kind of nervous when I saw the runtime but the way it's segmented it doesn't feel that long. Good job Barrett and KF crew

[@Owenchristie9]

Absolutely sensational project Barrett, keep up the great work.

[@Tek32]

Straight up, and I know this video won't get the views it deserves, I just wanna say; Barrett, this is one of the best pieces of content Kinda Funny has ever produced. Its gonna take me a little time to watch this, but I really hope you can come back and do a part 2 eventually with the rest of the Zelda games. Thank you so much!

[@rahcaz3689]

Barrett I’m not familiar with you, I haven’t watched Kinda Funny in a while, but this is an amazing video. I haven’t seen it all yet but this is some crazy commitment and dedication. Hope you are seeing the fruits of your labor dude.

[@lutherdespain7908]

Just now finding this gem going through some older content. Glad i did this is great

[@heyitsJaclyn]

Too real Barrett lol. Last year i played through like 5 pokemon games ‘cause the depression was real 💜

[@jupiterfc6515]

Loved listening to this, I know you said you won't want to do another one of these for a while but maybe if you or someone else from KF would do one again one day, I think it would be super interesting to see a Resident Evil In Review. It has a lot of good games and just like Zelda I think it's an iconic video game franchise. Not only that but to hear someones opinions on them all as they experience how RE evolved would be really interesting.

[@alexmohar54]

Thank you for making great content around my favorite video game series

[@aaronpritchard5667]

Love this sort of long form content!

[@ArvinModiri]

Brother! This was great! Thanks for creating and putting down so much work! This is gonna be the best workout podcast ever 😁😁😁

[@MikeFig485]

I thought I was gonna have more to say about your actual rankings and critiques, but all I can say is well done. This is S tier content with a silver bullet. :) The passion for this project and the amount of work you put in shows. It’s one of the best things KF has ever put out and you deserve to take multiple victory laps for it. Again, kudos.

[@docdavell]

I took my time going through this video and loved every moment of it. I appreciate Barrett's passion for this project as well as his attention to detail and giving all aspects of each Zelda game a fair view. As you indicated in the video, you could ask 12 Zelda fans to rank the same games and come up with 12 different lists. I think your list is great and represents truly your experiences with those games. The best part is that this really made me want to go back and revisit all the Zelda games. Maybe not in the 8 months that you did, but definitely go back and revisit. Thanks so much for this video. Loved the content and keep up the awesome work!

[@MarioNotBros]

"I'm not gonna do an Assassin's Creed In Review" -Barrett

[@joemurray]

Best KF content in 2020 so far, awesome job

[@tylermonkovic570]

So happy for you Barrett this is GREAT! My favorite series of games

[@SonnyPlaystation]

Good Job Kinda Funny, wonderful that you are looking into the Zelda fan base. I love the hardcore commentary on this series. I love it!

[@thelegendoftheo]

You crushed it brotha Barrett! Also the fact that you didnt have a full segment on how much the water temple from Ocarina of Time sucks just proves that you're a better man than me. Well done man! Would love to see more specials like this from Kinda Funny 👌🏾

[@__dane__]

Twilight Princess was the first Zelda I played and still holds a place in my heart. Probably tied for my second favorite Zelda game (maybe third)

[@JDEdwards2331]

Watching this video over the course of two nights has been a goddamn pleasure. Incredible work SadBoy

[@rocketguardian]

I'd love more content like this in the future. Seriously. I love everything KF, but the actual editing and jump cutting is just so good. It's much more polished.

[@Joc5]

I really love this video Barrett, you did an amazing job, that even do i only played A Link Between Worlds, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks and have like a general understanding of the franchise, i was so fascinated listening to your recaps, opinions and experiences and i would love to watch another In Review, or just a more simple ranking, of another game, like Assassin's Creed, when you have the time and energy to do so. Keep up the good work Boss Baby :D

[@naytertot]

I didn't expect to enjoy such a long video. Real nice job, Barret.

[@kimman8743]

Dude you rock!!! Have this video playing while working on my artwork! Please keep these videos up!! Learnt so much too. Well done

[@LimEightNine]

Amazing work. Going to take me several days to get through but loving it so far!

[@zourka]

Great job dude! Really awesome job!

[@aaronmalin5921]

Fantastic content, Barett! Thank you so much for creating this and putting so much time and effort into it. It's been a joy to watch over the course of the past few days.

[@iceman333933]

I just wanted to say congrats to Barrett on an incredible project and video. As a Zelda super fan, it really makes me happy seeing someone else get this much enjoyment out of experiencing them again. Congrats! You did an incredible job.

[@rockstarTraveler]

I know this was a passion project and, thus, a lot of time and love and effort was put into it. But I'd love to see you do this again for other classic games (Star Fox series, Metro series, Donkey Kong series, etc). Not sure if you have any interest in doing this again but it was great!

[@jarredophorst9088]

We need a gamescast where the guys sit down with Barrett and just talk about his experience with this project. I think what he’s done here is possibly some of the best kinda funny content. Definitely deserves every ounce of praise that comes his way

[@JBPXC]

I wish they could do more in depth reviews rather than quick impressions. I'd like to see written content too with Greg, Imran, and Fran's backgrounds

[@Buu1992]

This was amazing! You're such a good presenter. I'd love to see more content from you in any form. #givebarretthisownshow

[@MasonOfLife]

This was such a good watch, watched all the way from the start of the preview to the end and I gotta say wow, so much time and effort went into this Everyone has their own rankings and it’s always cool to hear someone else’s, much love to all the Zelda games and all the fans of each game I’m one of the few that basically loves them all (besides Four Swords, Tri Force Heroes and the CdI Games....but if you love those that’s awesome)

[@newflesh666]

Anyone who loves the CDI zelda games is a Masochist.

[@sow_scout4989]

This was amazing! You deserve an award yourself! Now I can't wait to see the Zach Ryan horse tweets.

[@Xenodude2000]

Love this video! Barrett is such a natural. Also the editing is on point.

[@Zeekeal]

Jus finished listening to this whole pod, had to come just to show respect. Loved this my guy.

[@alecbobko]

Great video Barrett. That intro is dope! Shout out to all the Zelda loving best friends!

[@jakesitarski7958]

Yay Barrett! This is awesome man, love seeing the new kids at KF making awesome stuff 😊

[@markmorris6721]

Great video bro!!!! The talent of ign killing it on kinda funny wooooo

[@noahenglert4760]

This is some commitment, props to you Barret!

[@eliot327]

This is going to take me quite a few sittings but I am really digging it so far. Good job Barrett.

[@N8Lloyder]

This will definitely get me through my work day today. Kudos Barrett, this is f*cking dope! When are you doing every Arkham game in review ?😜

[@Zynnix]

My personal top 10: 1) Ocarina of Time 2) Breath of the Wild 3) Twilight Princess 4) Link Between Worlds 5) Oracle of Ages 6) Oracle of Seasons 7) Link's Awakening 8) Minish Cap 9) Wind Waker 10) Majora's Mask You should have covered more of the handheld games imo. The Oracle games and Minish Cap, in particular, are excellent. Skip that DS nonsense.

[@villarreal0706]

Zynnix totally agree!

[@loganharrison9563]

Hey thank you I thought I was crazy thinking ocarina of time is the best. The music itself is something I’ll never forget.

[@Lager200]

Loved this kind of project and I would really like to see more of this for other series. It would be an event if it was done only once each year. It's been great to listen along for the last few days while in work.

[@samutterback4874]

Big fan of this Barrett! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@Hranicator]

This was such a great listen Barrett Great job!

[@zakbrown791]

SO PROUD OF YOU BARRETT. GREAT JOB MY DUDE.

[@Seaphron]

Finally finished this one this morning. Don't agree with all of your opinions, but you did a killer job. Specifically I like how you handled Skyward Sword. Was concerned it was going to just be shat on before I started listening. Fantastic job Barrett.

[@elliothall273]

Seriously great video, Barrett. MORE 👏 OF 👏 THIS 👏 PLEASE 👏

[@estebancastroflores2530]

This was Awesome !!! Great job Barrett

[@MadHatter1138_]

This was awesome. Thank you Barrett for making this, makes me want to play them again.

[@austinmcrae6839]

This was great! Didn't hurt that your rankings were quite close to what I would choose

[@vibechecks1987]

Barret you never even talked about the hidden village in TP, the most badass sequence of that game besides the bridge battle

[@thefakejoey8549]

Sniping those Bulbins with the Hero's Bow was pretty fun.

[@scottradloff802]

Fantastic show! Love all these games! Great job on this video Barrett.

[@icarozzz]

Great work, Barrrett! This is so much fun to watch. I'm 44 years old and Zelda is the one series I will always buy (and take a sick day or three) to play at release. For me, the original will always be special. Sure the graphics are crude by todays standards and the story is simple, but there simply were no other games like it back then. I will never let go of that gold cartridge.

[@switchxb]

I thought I’d be watching snippets of this for a week, but I ended up watching all in one sitting and it was a better experience for it. This was a really fun experience that helped me relive the moments I had and how I digested each of these games growing up and how I view them now. Good. Shit. Barrett.

[@jorgeanwaryoma3166]

I realized you changed the background for every game... in the *twilight princess* review. You have an amazing energy and vibe, apart from being a true HYLIAN. SUBSCRIBED.

[@philgandhismusic4799]

I barely ever comment on videos as I don’t like getting involved in the negativity that comes from that. But I’ve been listening to this in my car everyday, to and from work, and have been really enjoying it. Love the in depth analysis and your soothing tone of voice. Really enjoyed the format of following that convoluted timeline. And it’s made my week that little bit better. So thanks Barrett, it’s clear you put a lot of passion and love into this. I appreciate you bro :)

[@preacherduderox]

I love that there IS a tie between MM and TP. Walking into woods? One becoming a Stalfos? A wandering postgame Link grows up, becomes a forgotten Stalfos, trains TP Link to become a better Link?! Insane.

[@MrJechgo]

Great video there Barrett ^_^ and since you have covered the majority of titles, you can always come back and update your ranking in a 2nd video when you have completed Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Minish Cap, Four Swords Adventures, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks and even Breath of the Wild 2 :) It's very informative, very well detrailled and it feels like a true passion project. I hope you have set the bar for other KF host to do the same with their own favorite series :D

[@musicmathieu]

Nice pet project. Very well done and put together. I really enjoyed it. Thanks! Keep up the great work. Cheers!

[@marz444]

Fantastic stuff!! Great work Barrett, tattoo is on point too

[@Tmacswag1994]

I'm replaying some Zelda games myself and I love that I can keep coming back to this video. Just did a replay of Windwaker on Wii U for the first time since 2006 and loved every second of it!

[@jacobmosher2066]

Barrett this is incredible. Thank you for turning your passion project into something the KF community can enjoy as well.

[@SamScotMosher]

Incredible work, Barrett! I can't imagine the hours (days? weeks?) that were poured into this project!
