Legend Zelda: A Link to the Past - Ending

[@hostilebogeyinbound]

The cutscene "YOUR UNCLE RECOVERS" then both Link and his uncle raise their swords gives me goosebumps every time.

[@Blinkers2007GameDev]

Yeah the cutscene uses timeline to animate everything and time it into the scene. This could be remade in unity

[@Aenygma_]

I remember the first time my dad and I finished this masterpiece, I was 6 years old. He was the one who beat Ganon, and after the Triforce assembled he handed me the controller. "Go get it!" is what he told me. Such memories, man...

[@jeffk1722]

[@Balmung35]

This ending is absolutely brilliant because it gives an immense feeling of accomplishment and makes you look back at all the people you met and all the lands you conquered throughout your quest, and you realize that Link not only became a hero, but also a man. And when the credits starts rolling and the music kicks in, you can't help but get teary eyes.

[@azzzanadra]

+Balmung35 actually it's the opposite, think about it, a link to the past tried to feel dark, but this ending proved it's the opposite, your uncle is alive and fine, everyone is back at their homes and everyone lived happily ever after.......lame!!!! the endings of the legend of zelda are emotional, touching, and every zelda game i finished left an impression on me, except this one, which sums up the problem with this game, it's horrible story.

Those other three standard enemies are called "Buzz Blobs" (they look like dancing electrified cucumbers). When you play this game, get the Magic Powder, and find a Buzz Blob. Get close to it, and sprinkle it on it. There you go! You turned a Buzz Blob into a Cukeman! 👍

Also the finality of it. It really does feel like the curtain dropping on a very special world. Longform media was still new. It felt like getting to see all of War and Peace at the time. Anyway, I think it makes me cry the same reason Ratatouille’s ending does. It’s moving and it’s just real life and the music is incredible.

[@unmitigateddisaster3793]

I consider Link to the Past as the best 'pure' Zelda game. It's the Zelda formula done absolutely perfectly. Many of the other games, Ocarina, Windwaker, Skyward Sword, etc were great in their own ways, but they all had some 'gimmick' which defined them. Whether it was the sailing or the musical element of the ocarina. They represented interesting divergences from the Zelda formula that, while cool, diluted them somewhat. I don't really hold this against them, Link to the Past is essentially perfect and it was intelligent to realize that they couldn't top it and needed other elements to mix up the formula.

[@mikamisaki2455]

Exactly what I've said for years. LttP is the best LoZ game hands down. OoT was heavily based off of it because it was so good. I dream of a day Nintendo finally remasters LttP in full 3D. That would be a very legendary experience. Even though it'll be the exact same game, the play through would be completely different. Imagine Turtle Rock with 3D aspects, Skull Woods, Tower of Ganon. The fights with Agahnim and the final fight with Ganon. Hell all of the boss fights. It would bring the game to a level of hard never known since the beginning lol

[@JBelix]

+Mika Misame I agree with you. A Link to the Past is the best Zelda game ever. However, I'm playing the N3DS game "Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds" and it feels ENTIRELY playing A Link to the Past (For some obvious reasons). I used to play A Link to the Past when I was about 15 years old, and now it is like going back in time more than 20 years. I suggest you give it a try. I'm enjoying every second of it.

[@billny33]

Watching these endings and hearing these songs on KZbin has really changed my perception of a lot of these games. I just about never get emotional while playing a game or beating a game if the ending is sad. My mind is not in a place where it can truly appreciate depth of emotion when I am playing. I'm ready for the next battle or satisfied at the victory. An emotional cutscene that may undermine that feeling gets sort of shoved aside by my subconscious. But you come here and watch and listen to these. There's no greater context within the game you were just playing. You're not trying to avoid looking lame in front of your buddy or your dad. It's just you and that ending and that track in a vaccuum by itself, and the way it makes you feel. Then you scroll down and look at all these comments and you see how much it moved other people. And then that stirs something up inside you too. Finding these moments on KZbin has given me a newfound appreciation for a lot of moments, tracks, cutscenes and endings that I never took the time to really appreciate when I was just playing through them.

[@InfernalPurge]

Ice palace was difficult indeed, just a horrible maze I had to explore several times. Turtle Rock is a matter of staying alive rather than being difficult to find the way to the boss. One thing that will definitely help for Turtle Rock if you die sometimes is taking the exit past the beaming eyes on the wall. If you die, you will have the option to restart on the last place you entered the castle. Advice: get four blue potions and all heart pieces in the game before entering Turtle Rock.

I'm here to hear the beautiful 3 parts of this lovely ending theme and imaging in myself playing this on piano.

[@Unknown-wb4ex]

I actually can play this in the piano. It took 3 months to learn. :P

[@unagiporn]

I love how the classic theme kinda sneaks in at the credits

[@AnthonySigouin]

You finish that game and you are SNES gamer for eternity. I finish that game each year . So deep when your are young and you pass 1-2 year on it to finish it. The first real deep video game experience!!! :P I finished Zelda 2 on NES before and finish Ocarina Of time after :P Just diamond games!!!!

[@browland1]

Same for me. I was 13 when I first beat this game and it still brings back warm memories every time I see videos like this.

He started off as an ordinary farmer boy. He ended up a hero.

[@Razaak666]

Actually, 35 is the precise amount. 35 hits and the chickens go MENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTAL!

[@DonkeyFilms]

Brain, stop with the childhood memories, stop the life flashing through my eyes, stop making these tears! IM A MAN!! :'( why..? Look what you made me do... I'm crying...

[@h3retic583]

Goddangit Nintendo. You know its a good game if it can make an adult cry

[@AlexMoenR]

I think this was the first video game ending that made me realize games could aspire to art. A million RPGs followed with great endings, and then probably every AAA game these days has an emotional credit roll at least... but this was a shock to me in its day. I didn’t know a “game” was supposed to tug at my heartstrings until this.

[@randyman101]

I'm unsure about the lives count I'm still trying to figure that out but this is one of my favorite video Game endings of all time from the music to the scrolling scenery as the sky gets lighter during the staff roll it's very touching.

[@tomkerruish2982]

It counts not only deaths (including auto revives via bottle fairy), but also saves. I discovered this after my second playthrough. The only way to finish with 0 games is to leave the game on continuously (pausing with the item select screen is okay) and never ever dying.

[@Swiftbow]

@@tomkerruish2982 It doesn't count revives via fairy. Just actual deaths and Save and Quits. I just played through it again and can confirm... I died 3 times (once because I let my 2 year old play, lol. And then two more times immediately afterwards because I stopped being careful), and quit for the night twice. My game count at the end was 5. (I had a LOT of auto revives via fairy. So those definitely were not included.) The best I've ever done was 3... no deaths and Save and Quit 3 times. (That was back when I had a 2 hour TV limit. So like... 30 years ago, lol.) I still have that save file. Still going for that magic "1." But I hate leaving the SNES on all night. Especially since both console and game are 30+ years old now. And the cartridge battery is somehow still holding a charge.

[@Kevinb1821]

Saw someone say they wanted the Mario world credits song to be played at their funeral. I want the sunrise credits to be played at mine lol. 31 years later. I’m still playing this game once a year.

[@SargeantPrepper]

Randy: NERD!! Peter Griffin: RAANNDYYY!

[@BYAHMAN69]

After 16 years I finally found this game hidden in a box in my basement. I beat it for the first time today, something I wasn't capable of doing when I was 4. I haven't been this happy to beat a game since I was a child. Thank you Zelda series for making me remember what it was like to be a kid again.

[@Attyrocker]

This bring me so many memories :D this is my favorite legend of zelda of all times, and it was the first one i've ever played :) I love it!

[@MODIGSOFFICIAL]

THE MASTER SWORD SLEEPS AGAIN... 'FOREVER'! EPIC!!

[@randyman101]

I love this game also I still have my SNES and the cartage I played this using an emulator because the video quality is higher.

[@InfernalPurge]

this reminds me of being seven, and my brother phoning me that he learned about the sword swinging technique, and thought that maybe (maybe) we would finally beat the guard in the dungeons of the castle with it...

[@jennyrodriguez6412]

the first zelda I truly love at the age of 9

[@blinky88]

i know im one in a millions of people that have played and love this game, but i absolutely love this game, it will stay with me forever.

[@deshy88umkc]

Oh the memories I have of this game. My best friend and I beat the game back in 1996 when I was eight years old. Now I'm a junior in college and still love this game as much today as I did back then.

[@redSHIFT69]

the king makes a good boat i must say....

[@InfernalPurge]

Palace of Darkness is easy: as soon as you finish Agahnim 1 off, you don't have another choice. The second is also easy, and once you have the hammer, you can go to the forest. There is a gateway to the Dark World there. The town is south and the Death Forest is north. Once you are in, the way to the boss shows itself.

[@Pontusky]

Holy hell, last time i saw this was 15 years ago, i remember trying to hide my tears from my brothers while experiencing this. This was an emotional ending for a 11 year old boy in the early 90´s, kids. i love this score, Koji Kondo is a fuckin genious, this is the greatest fuckin game ever made!!!

[@pentiummmx2294]

I have been depressed due to 2020's events like the lockdown due to covid-19, etc and watching this ending has made it worse, to the point of uncontrollably crying.

[@colepepper83]

i just how ever thing comes together and everybody wins, lool the flute boy plays again and the old man got to see his son again

We all know the Master Sword never sleeps forever... eventually a new hero needs to unleash it again

[@TheRepty818]

The Master Sword sleeps again forever? Is this the last time it's used? I gotta check that Zelda timeline again.

[@goombaspike4903]

TheRepty818 nah, its a netaphor. a link between worlds occurs after this one in the decline timeline

[@Yayofangamer16]

Kevin Roll Link between worlds happens after this
