Lets Play Links Awakening - FINALE

[@akakay0131]

In case you forgot, Marin mentioned that if she were a seagull, she would fly away and sing for many people. Later, she says she made a wish to the Wind Fish, but doesn’t tell you what it was. That last scene with Marin’s face and the bird flying away (which was the reward for deathless btw), heavily implies that the Wind Fish granted her wish, letting her live on in the real world as a seagull.

[@wingsreport9274]

I was coming to comment this.

[@kaihinataplays6374]

I actually thought Marin was the Wind Fish, how did she know the ballad, why as she singing in both worlds? So, I kinda thought maybe it was a scenario like the one in an anime that I love

[@kaihinataplays6374]

and I think Marin being in the same style at the end to me kind of points more towards, Marin was the dreamer, when Link almost died he connected to her dream

[@imnotbroken118]

Literally did a loud laugh burst when you opened your photo album to nothing but Kirby pictures.

[@coopinatormusic6214]

The bonus was indeed the smiling Marin. She faded when the seagull flew off. This is symbolizing how she said she would ask the Wind Fish to become a seagull so she could see the world.

[@GellertGreer]

Yes the ending scene bonus is (spoiler) The seagull flying off through the image of Marin implies she got her wish to fly across the sea as a seagull and sing to the world.

[@Jsimms4296]

Bug Fables is the smartest bet for the channel overall since its niche game with a huge fanbase+ Paper mario fanbase and also out of all the games mentioned its the most current IMO. Look into Ruigee mode if you do start a LP. Good job on this zelda one too, glad you bought the game again!

[@sethvilla9650]

I'd absolutely adore a Bug Fables playthrough, it's such a delightful experience but I'd also love to watch Hades and Super Paper Mario because those are also awesome games! Honestly you guys could play a truck driving simulator and I'd still watch it, your personalities and dichotomy is so great to watch, best of wishes to you both!

[@beckajohson7186]

Yeah and i think bug fables deserves more spotlight for how good it is. Unexpected story I thought it was just gonna be about trees and stuff

[@ianmichels6958]

Bug Fables is an amazing game; it starts kinda rough but you can literally feel the devs improving as the game goes on, and it's just generally pretty amazing of an experience

[@Kletian999]

Absolutely. The cast of bug fables is full of charm, and the mechanics are excellent, especially when you hard mode the bosses.

[@DanielleDimples]

@@Kletian999 agreed. Its perfect in difficulty

[@Kobebrynt2024]

Yea by chapter 3 i was hooked man

[@ShittyDineva]

I dont think it starts rough. Every game starts slow but for a reason to get people to learn the game but i think the difficulty rounds out. They can do ruigee mode or hardest

[@beckajohson7186]

I think it has enough entertainment to fill every episode espcially if they use the talk feature alot. Im really excited

[@gorypons5321]

YOU DID IT!!! I'm so happy you got to see the special ending. It made me cry haha

[@Kobebrynt2024]

Bug Fables would be an amazing lets play! The main characters are super lovable and the places are as weird as a mario game! I love it!!! Plus it has badges like hollowknight so the playthrough would be unique. Definitely subscribing for bug fables

[@beckajohson7186]

I just did plus zelda ended so. Good.

[@tamekasillyboosanders7918]

Im doing the badge randomizer mode now.. its so fun

[@exoticbutter]

My personal vote is Super Paper Mario, it is definitely one of my favorite games of all time and I would love to see your reactions to it. (Side note, congrats on 23k!!!)

[@gregorystiver7198]

I'd prefer bug Fables but I would love the reactions to fort Francis and sammer kingdom

So many peoples favorites after just one play thru.

[@Jsimms4296]

Same here! Blown away + love the cuteness/seriousness felt from just paper cut outs. Everybodies unique and i havent seen that in a 2d game since hollowknight.

[@Kobebrynt2024]

It was hard to get out of my head after playing it. Highly recommend!!!!!

[@ShittyDineva]

So good for an indie game! Cant wait till 2 comes out!

[@beckajohson7186]

My favorite rpg i loved it instead of oragami king they came out the same minth

[@lyzzle]

Link's Awakening has always been my favorite Zelda game. It had such an impact on me as a child that to this day i tear up involuntarily every time I hear the Ballad of the Wind Fish 😅 I'm so glad that you two enjoyed it! I had fun watching you play ❤

[@codydoxey2497]

All 3 are good choices. Hades is a fantastic game. I love all the paper mario games. I would like to see your playthrough of bug fables since it's an homage to the paper mario series.

[@gregorystiver7198]

Bug Fables would be ridiculously hype, it's such a good spiritual successor to paper mario 1 and has an enjoyable story, plus since there are only the 3 Characters in your party and they frequently talk to themselves it both endears them to you as well as prevents partners essentially disappearing after their chapter in story like paper mario partners tend to do.

[@Kobebrynt2024]

Its perfect for them

[@ShittyDineva]

Bug Fables or Hades both get my vote! Bug Fables is rad as heck, and I'd love to see you two react to the dialogue and characters in Hades. Also, found you guys through the Kirby LP, and will be sticking around ^^ (Also also, thanks to watching enough SM64 speedrun stuff, every time I see "BLG" on your channel my brain goes "Ah yes, the Backwards Long Gump")

[@beckajohson7186]

Hades is hard to watch on stream. The progression is too slow but funnnn game. Bug fables is amazing and got my vote. I agree with you

[@tamekasillyboosanders7918]

Found them through the kirby lp too. Definitely bug fables ! Continue the cuteness!

[@limymage9186]

Yo I was literally about to recommend slime rancher before one of you mentioned it in the video. HIGHLY recommend it. Cute art style, cute concept, and cute story. The ending might make you cry but with wholesome tears

[@jonathantonner4263]

Your suggestions sound fun and I'm loving the current playthroughs, can't wait for this channels future!

[@Princsssh]

I put my vote toward Bug Fables! That would be a fun series🥺 Some of the characters are kirby level cute!!! We want

[@ShittyDineva]

Yessss I love the bee

[@beckajohson7186]

🍊*insider*

[@mrcwillis6970]

That ending animation always gives me the feels. Also crazy to think how we have about a year to go until BOTW2 comes out.

[@Twisted_Logic]

Marin said that she dreamed of becoming a bird and flying away to see what was out there. I like to think that that scene at the end was her dream coming true. Also: I would be SO HYPED if you played Bug Fables. I absolutely love that game to death and I can see y'all getting a lot out of its dialogue and story

[@TronicSpeed]

The original Game Boy version showed it better imo, as it showed Marin literally turning into a seagull.

[@joerexhausen8897]

Now just imagine doing this w/ a max of 14 hearts in the older versions, especially the original which had no other tunics, and completing the end of the game. Highly suggest you do get around to ALttP at some point, my personal favorite of the series and so enjoyable.

[@LooseAsADEUCE]

Congrats on beating Link's Awakening! It's a weird little game but in a series that can get as formulaic as Zelda its good to have a strange one in the mix. Wait...28:20 Super Paper Mario, Bug Fables or Hades?! And I thought Sophie had a hard choice... No but seriously those are three GREAT games. My personal vote is for Bug Fables. If you love classic Paper Mario it (IMO) makes that formula even better. A lot of charm and some surprising depth in that game. Plus its an indie game and more people should play it! Yall should def play all three at some point though. Hades is honestly a masterpiece. I'm not exaggerating when I say it has one of my favorite stories in gaming. You'll be with it for a while though, so prepare for that when you pick it up. Super Paper Mario also has an amazing story (the best in the Mario franchise IMO) but its gameplay is...interesting to say the least. Looking forward to whatever you choose!

[@Kobebrynt2024]

Bug fables is a hidden gem

[@Kletian999]

The nightmare used links shadow so it could form from his memories of dangers.

[@omegasoup4164]

After a few years with this game I find the finale to be close enough to perfect that the problems with it stick out a lot. On the gameplay side, Nightmare was very close to being a great Zelda final boss, but unfortunately the Ganon phase doesn’t make sense (and as a nitpick should come after lawnmola, not before). Also while I’m perfectly fine with final bosses in games like this wanting to rule the world and that’s the beginning and the end of their motivation, I think that when the opportunity for the Nightmares simply wanting to keep existing is right there it’s disappointing that they also were evil. They are NIGHTMARES I guess but still.

[@TronicSpeed]

4:58 It's supposed to be Agahnim looking. This boss is made of Link's nightmares.

[@gregorystiver7198]

And this link is officially the same link from a link to the past

[@andrewshufelt1948]

And so the dream ends. *How about Bug Fable?

[@Kobebrynt2024]

Upvote lol. Lets do this voting the right way!

[@endlessflame409]

I saw this on another video but I think Outer Wilds is a really good game. It’s very story related and has you theorizing the whole time. This channel seems to take time to think about story stuff so it could be fun. It’s best played completely blind.

[@beefarren]

Lately I've been thinking that I would LOVE to see you two take on Outer Wilds! It has a stunning story that really works best for people who love to theorize and get really emotionally invested in games. If you do play it, play it as blind as possible - it hits the hardest if you have absolutely no idea what to expect.

[@grizlea4149]

That would be an awesome idea!

[@omegasoup4164]

I agree! I think it’d be so fun to see Ian try to decipher the lore! Not to mention the amount of skips and cheeses Ian would try and pull!

[@peterpeladon]

Outer Wilds is my highest recommendation

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

YUP this is my favorite game of all time. I keep forgetting until I watch someone play through it or play through it myself. No other game makes me cry at the end like this game. The music gives me so much emotion every single time.

[@cheezya8485]

Please play bug fables it is my favourite game and Mario rpg if there’s time

[@ShittyDineva]

Is Mario rpg like BF?

[@tamekasillyboosanders7918]

Mario rpg? Is that like paper mario/bug fables

[@King_Banryu]

I'd love to see Hades, Portal, Classic Doom, Shantae.......the list goes on. Do whatever you want to do. I'm here for the odd noises Ian creates. Seriously, has anyone made that Ian Noise compilation video yet?

[@Deltacakes]

I would love to see you play Super Paper Mario it such a great and charming game, the dialog is some of my favorite for the series and I think that would love playing it

[@Aldoshandow]

Yaaaay you did it! And yeah, the bonus content for finishing the game without dying is that scene after "THE END" where shows you Marin. If you recall the conversation with her in the beach, she wished that she could become a seagull so she can see the world beyond the island, which it´s a bit impossible since they are limited to exist in the island by being only a dream. So the scene gives you the idea that Marin manage to be in the real world as that seagull in the last scene thanks to the Windfish granting her the wish >w< makes the game way more emotional with that subtle thing TwT Ahhh! love the game so much with the charm and the small dark contrast, it is well made.

[@peterpeladon]

I'm really hoping for Outer Wilds. I'd take Bug Fables as a second choice, but GOSH Outer Wilds would be a delight.

[@beckajohson7186]

Bug fables >outer wilds just in my opinion.

[@peterpeladon]

@@beckajohson7186 I love both, and hope to see both played

[@abnercliff9624]

The world was never real, by remembering the dream you keep alive the dream in your own memory.

[@omegasoup4164]

Of the games you suggested, I’d like to see Super Paper Mario, but I really want to see you play a game called Outer Wilds, there’s lore and it’s fun and I think that’s all you need to know for now.

[@Skatche]

Did you not die in your playthrough? If so, then I guess Marin in the ending cutscene was the bonus. In the original Gameboy version, after the credits rolled, you got to see Marin and Tarin fly by (like, literally flapping their arms) with some seagulls.

[@osoamphicyon8876]

Hades would definitely be fun to watch you guys play. You mentioned playing Dark Souls in a recent livestream, with them being ported to switch would that be something you’d try?

[@matthewsmith-rw3pn]

Late to the party but I'd love to see you guys play link to the past, right up your alley I think

[@KassandraJameson]

Either Bug Fables or Sonic Adventure 2. Would love to see you guys interact with the chao garden. As far as Bug fables… it ended so good. Played in in the pandemic and already have alot of nostalgia for it. I vote for bug fabels

[@Whebebwjene]

Sonic should to come to the switch

[@FourLetterLWord]

When it comes out in July you guys ABSOLUTELY need to do a series for the Klonoa 1&2 remakes. They're right up your alley tone and design wise, and you'll love the lore.

[@Finnloaf]

I'd honestly love to see you guys play Omori, it's such a good game, basically undertale with horror elements and without the toxic fanbase. LoZ Twilight princess is also an amazing game which is totally worth playing, but I'm sure whatever you guys play it'll be good!

[@Finnloaf]

@@valiang8867 I can't stand horror games myself, but this one is more creepy than pure horror and it's the first horror that I've ever enjoyed playing. It has a great story and good characters, and barely anything like jumpscares

[@ryanlopez2371]

I would loooooove to see super paper Mario! The story is soooo good and it gives off such a specific vibe, it’s great!

[@AlmightyVincent]

Since you guys want to play more Zelda games I suggest either Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons as its for GB Color. They are in the same style as this game. I enjoyed those a lot myself

[@mklip2001]

The most unfair thing with this game is how cryptic boss weaknesses are, particularly in that final fight. The game has a few places where you can be legitimately stuck if you ran out of the right weapon. The Ganon phase is particularly mean: only spinslash or Pegasus Dash hurts him, and the dash is hard to land.

[@gabe4031]

Before I took a nap tonight I was thinking about this let’s play I was wondering when the finale of links awakening would be then I woke up from the nap to see it was posted! Am so excited!!!!

Here's a super obscure recommendation: Evoland 2. I always tell people to play only the second game because it's way more fleshed out than the first one with actual gameplay and story material, and it's pretty much unrelated to the first one. If you did want to play the first one, it's 4-8 hours of rather disappointing gimmicks and references, but Evoland 2 is around 20-30 genuinely enjoyable hours of game in all different styles. Look it up and see if you might like it!

[@dnd402]

I'd love to see A link between worlds or spirit tracks, (bc im 100% certain you would really enjoy them), Bug Fables (bc ive never heard of it and it sounds neat) or bugsnax (because im 100000% certain you would really enjoy it!)

The creatures born of nightmares didn't have the power to include the worst thing about Moldorm: the pits. Shadow Ganondorf is where I found out that spin attack and charge stab do the same damage.

Spirit Tracks is pretty good. The actual train parts are kind of annoying but everything else about it is pretty cool and it actually has some great puzzles. And yeah, Link Between Worlds is actually amazing. It's by far one of my favorite Zelda games. Though if you haven't beaten A Link to the Past you may want to do that first as Link Between Worlds is a direct sequel (you can definitely play it stand alone but it's fun to see all the references and stuff to the original game)
