Twilight's Shadow - Zelda Animation Part 2

[@UNOwen-gs9km]

I probably would’ve NEVER gotten into Legend of Zelda if I haven’t seen your animations. I don’t know how I got here, but you literally made me shed tears for characters who previously meant nothing to me. Right down from the facial expressions, the timing of the music with the actions, and all of the poured out emotions were all wonderfully executed together. This really raises the level of show and tell. You have a splendid gift for animating and story telling.

[@Artist-128]

“You may have lost THIS fight... But you’re not alone in THAT fight.” This line is so powerful. And not to mention the amazing scene transitions between the Ganon/TP!Link fight and the OoT!Link/TP!Link fight. That was just so amazing. Fantastic work.

[@cassinoelle4289]

I know right?! That was absolutely amazing! To be honest, the transitions between Ganondorf vs. Link and TP,Link vs. OoT,Link almost made it look like the fight against OoT,Link was possibly some kind of illusion and, while TP,Link was fighting OoT,Link in this mind, in reality, he was actually fighting Ganondorf that whole time, which would explain why the fight choreography was nearly completely identical, with slight, but still obvious differences.

The hero of Time.. Seeing this reminded me of what he had to go through. From leaving his childhood to be a hero to being the forgotten hero who was forced to grow up 7 years too fast. How he had to die with regret for not being able to rescue hyrule like he wanted to. He did so much & helped the hero of twilight be successful to kill that same Ganon. Seeing that scene in this animation was so beautiful yet heartbreaking. This is what I wanted twilight princess to be. It was in tears when he said “Do not falter my child.” That broke me cause he went through so much & for him to watch the hero of twilight all along on his journey that he should of gotten recognition for also. That’s why I love the hero of Time the most. 😢 This was truly beautiful.

[@bluber1256]

Well written. to think about it the hero of time went into to the lost woods to find his friend and just died there (bc you know if you dont got a fairy in that place to guide you are done) without even growing up dying as a no name. its really depressing yikes

[@alessiam.2838]

Never have I ever been so touched by a fan made video. The animation was amazing, the music was exceptional, the story had so much emotion put into it that I was in tears during the parts where The Hero of Time and The Hero of Twilight talked and “fought”. I have to admit that this alternate ending for Twilight Princess is better than the actual ending of the game. The ending was so satisfying when it showed The Hero of Time and The Hero of Twilight slashing and stabbing at Ganon’s head, just like what happened in Ocarina of Time. I feel that this ending is much better because we did not see much of The Hero’s Shade (Oot Link) nor did we get to know much of his back story( in the actual game). I also liked that Link had to find his courage instead of just having it like in almost all of the games, that added so much expression and inner conflict which makes it even better. In the end Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time are my two favourite games, and to see the two Links together touched my heart. They are supposed to be family, and in the actual game barely anything was said about that. I appreciate this animation that you made very much, it brings happiness to me and brings back so many great memories of me playing. I don’t know how to express how much this has touched me( I was literally in tears). I am supporting you fully now and keep up the good work. :-) Thank You so much(Sorry for long paragraph). ;-)

Wow your comment just made my day!!! Thank you so much!!!!

What I found so awesome about both links finally killing Ganon, is that how OoT Link is finally able to contribute to the overthrow of Ganon, after living for many many years in regret, finally now can rest after not being recognised for what he did during his timeline.

Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this! What a great reference to OOT and the Hero of Time. Kinda gives you a sense that he speaks as if he was still in his own time period. In other words, by doing this, we could guess that the Hero's Shade speaks in a style that sounds old fashioned to TP link. Kinda like how the Great Deku Tree spoke in old english to OOT link when he was a child.

I can say, without a doubt, that the fight scenes depicted in this animation were much better than those of Masked Courage (I'm not late to the party this time!), and the emotion in the fight between OoT Link and TP Link was... enlightening to see. The music seemed to really fit the animation, so kudos for that. If you haven't already started on a project, might I suggest making your own story about the Hero's Shade?

Alex_The_Umbreon player I understand your position to make claims that are true without evidence. This is a testimony to find strengths from within ourselves to overcome even the greatest of obstacles. To make the time to set up recordings and proof of your victories is never required. It is your story that you will carry to the grave. Remember there are Heroes then there are legends. Heroes can be remembered, but legends can never die. Only your heart can and it can never go wrong. Cheer up guy. May there be peace, prosperity, comfort, good will and the triforce be bestowed upon you. True victories are fought with dilegents, spirit, and courage with the agenda of peace and happiness. That is the beauty of freewill my friend. Remember this and you can craft the image of your character on how you see fit. That's the beauty of life.

One thing I love about this is how it emphasizes the fact that TP Link ISN’T a reincarnation like literally every other Link. The others are basically like “Yup, this seems about right, time to hero” and have the instinctual memories to back themselves up, but TP is running in blind. This one is actually nervous and afraid because he’s up against a literal Dark Lord of Evil and doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, and has to learn to be a hero like his forefathers.

My favourite part in the whole series re-made into this emotional animation. I'm so glad I found this channel. Not gonna lie you make the heart of every Zelda fan happy. Thanks MajorLink!

[@SiegheartGC]

5:21 - the chance "A" input against Ganondorf in the final fight, last phase of the TP game 5:27 - back slice (3rd hidden skill) 5:34 - helm splitter(4th hidden skill, shield attack should have been here but not animated[2nd hidden skill]) 5:46 - Jump Attack(maybe this was supposed to be the jump strike with the charge[6th hidden skill] but it doesn't look like it) 5:50 - spin attack/great spin(7th hidden skill), most likely regular spin attack because TP Link is probably not at max HP 6:55 - mortal draw (5th hidden skill) 7:01 ~ 7:40 - The ending blow (1st hidden skill) 9:04 - EDIT(final blow on Ganon in OoT)

[@MajorLink]

Jun Ha Nice eye! Last combo isn’t from TP it’s the final blow The Hero of Time dealt on Ganon in Oot! :D

WOW you all are blewing my mind again and again

The music made me cry, I couldn’t help myself it was so beautiful

[@luciddreams8919]

You never cease to impress nor evoke such emotion within me and I can’t thank you enough for that! You really do emphasize what the Zelda series is when it comes to storytelling, character, and the overall content is just outstanding. This is why I feel that ‘The Legend Of Zelda’ series will never get stale because it’s re-imaginings like this that speak volumes of the potential that this franchise has. Again thank you so much for your hard work!!

[@danibenart211]

Gaaaahhhh the feeeeeels TwT When OOT Link and TP Link finished together Beast Ganon TwT So freakin beautiful

[@Link117.]

Ryuu Nutella I feel you dude I am so amazed that majorLink did this what majorlink did he out done himself.

[@Centeniallady2000]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS AU ENDING ANIMATION. THE BATTLE WAS EPIC, THE REFERANCES WAS EPIC. KEEP GOING STRONG WITH YOUR ANIMATIONS!

[@griffin_ktb]

I actually cried when I saw The Hero Of Time and Tp Link finish off Ganon at the same time the same way oot link did. So freaking Nostalgic thank you Majorlink :’)

[@DarkBrawlerLink]

I just can't explain how I felt while watching the Hero of Time and the Hero of Twilight fighting. This is so amazing.

[@claudiam3384]

This was absolutely brilliant!!!! I got chills when OoT Link appeared next to TP Link slicing Ganondorf. Truly amazing I’m in love with this!

(I accidentally deleted my comment, but I wanted to write it again anyway) You've really outdone yourself this time MajorLink. You've improved so much, even just by comparing part one you published. I could tell you put your heart into this, and it shows extensively. The fight scene was so well done; not only were the movements flawless just between Ganon and Link, but also with both Links transitioning between each other. I love the story that you written, and the changes flowed smoothly. I could go on a while about the many details you put in, but I don't want to take away your time to read any other comments. Incredible job, Major. Be sure to pass on the word to anyone who helped with the project. Plus, I think you've earned yourself a long vacation. We'll be waiting for you when you come back. 🙂

[@jaguarproduction1765]

I enjoyed your visual narration with the fight with Ganon. The transitions with Twilight Link fighting both Ganondorf and Hero of Time Link made me feel he wasn't trying to not just beat the big boss, but learn from and surpass his father's (significant although forgotten) legacy. And the music you used DEFINITELY emphasized that and connected the two. Regardless whether that was your intention or not, you don't often see that type of storytelling in fight-scenes and I'm glad I got that feeling with your animation. In short: GREAT VIDEO!

[@paulyshea5672]

The moment shade appears before Link as his incarnation from Ocarina of Time is chilling. Absolutely amazing work!

[@Giose]

OMG THIS WAS AMAZING!! Seeing link fighting against the hero of time and then ganondorf was completely unexpected and i freaking love it!

[@icewalker9985]

I sat in silence waiting for the second part and when it finally came it was just as brilliant as i hoped it was one of the best animations i have seen in a long time and what made it better is that it was my favourite characters in the mix i loved it and i will continue to watch the material MajorLink produces in the future without hesitation

[@NatTBK]

As I continue to watch through this video, I see how much time and effort you put into this, and the (spoilers) two links fighting as TP is fighting ganon... man, it’s so effective

[@Shnoodle0101]

One of my favorite parts is at 2:32 where half of Zelda's face is in shadow, and then it shows Link where the opposite half of his face is in shadow. Implying that they're two halves, and they need each other to finish this.

[@lyllyanweiss2741]

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was the very first video game I had ever played. I was a child then, as an adult, I still considered it to be one of my favorite games to this day. Twilight Princess had hit a very close second favorite. The fight where the Hero's Shade becomes Time Link in this animation and the fight in sync with Ganondorf, was absolutely stunning and it made me cry, wanting to pull out my Wii and my 3ds, heck even my Gamecube to play these games. The final strike where it's like a flashback in sync with the moment where Link strikes beast Ganon made me officially sob. Thank you for this animation and I look forward to watching more!

[@notafan2480]

I always knew the Hero's Shade was Ocarina of Time Link. But seeing Him physically there talking to Twilight Link was just- ugh😍 And an AMAZING work with the fight between Twilight and Ocarina vs Link and Ganondorf, the way the two scenes keep on switching from one to another were just prefect😙 And the final blow to the head with the two Links doing it together had me gaping at my screen. Amazing😍👏

[@Link117.]

Bryana Aguilar same here I loved that part so much

[@pmcg0630]

Great job Sean, and incredible music by Brock.

[@grimmy2313]

I cried when the dead warrior revealed himself to be Link's father at the end and as it went from scene to scene with their training and Link fighting Ganondorf at the same time.

[@0neSky0neDestiny]

Just to see the Hero of Time figthing the Twilight Hero still makes me shake, it is so epic with the transitions to Ganondorf battle, I love it maybe too much

[@talk2mepan]

I love the way Zelda’s eyes move when normal Ganon is defeated

[@zeldexa7703]

if you cried, it's cause you're a real Zelda fan. Man that's so amazing. Your work is absolutely amazing 🙌

[@LoryLilyBomber]

The only way I could really see this being better would be if at around 7:13 or so, OoT Link starts to laugh before his speech-like, starts off quiet, but then loud, relieved laughing, the kind that kind of turns into crying, just a bit. Because it’s been so, so long, and it’s finally-FINALLY-over. He can rest now.

[@RestlessMind-gk6io]

You should have wrote the ending for the game. Enough said

I love how OCT Link, during the final battle, literally copies all of ganon's movements to help his "son" defeat him. And when he joins TP link for the final strike, it's just AAAUUG SO GOOD

I love the little added touch where the HoT has the old classic OoT chat box and sound while as the characters from Twilight have the chatbox and sound from Twilight.

[@villager5611]

@@icylily24 welp in the game cutscenes zant looks ganondorf after him lose the triforce power,and then he kill himself,killing ganondorf. this have the meaning that with Zant Death ganondorf dies too becouse he used and related zant with his power and life. the " you used me" means that Zant understood what Ganondorf did and wanted to do with him,so he "got Revenge" or "sacrificed" himself for stop him for a while. Best villian and hero of the zelda series! Sorry for my bad english.

[@Manthemanisman]

Im upset that im seeing this a year later, this was, the dopest thing i have seen and it makes me love this franchise more than i already do.. the entire fight between oot link and TP link gave me chills, i coulda swore i was watching a twilight princess movie because of how beautiful this animation was, and how spot on the story line was, the way the heros shade transitions into OOT link, the way he guides TP link to officially becoming the hero and what it means to be the hero, jesus christ that was a thing of beauty, and i am completely mind blown

[@MrCwatson3]

Yo. I LOST IT when Link fights his Dad (the heros shade) and i kept crying and kept crying till the end. The lessons he taught all went into this last and final fight and it felt so great to see them both vanquish him. BRAVO i dont usually get emotional but with legend of zelda i do. Wow. So great.

[@linktheslickhero6281]

I love this entire video. My favorite was time and twilight fighting but as an illusion as twilight is fighting Ganondorf. That was so legit and epic. Very great job on ur animation
