The speech wasn't the problem in this case even though it was a action movie cliche, it was the fact if all the good guys had to do was destroy the tri-force and it was so easily done, why leave it out for anyone to get to it? also ganon should've slit zelda's throat the moment link dropped his gun. p.s what did this have anything to do with the zelda games apart from name dropping and using the tri-force symbol. They could've added some iconic sound affects here and there, also zelda weapons that tie in with the real world abit

[@ItsOK_immaNinja]

THAT WAS DOPE. Seriously 3:57 beyond was wow, the acting, pacing, lighting, colour, sound and the story with the triforce!! Yoo Zelda and the "wisdom" part was so fucken sick. That Triforce lore. I love everything about this I want to see this made into an actual game! I can picture the storyline and gameplay already. "Modern-day Hyrule was at peace when Ganon's soul takes over the chief of police the moment he touches the triforce that he confiscated in a routine goblin house infestation raid. Ganon now in his new meat puppet (he can jump from person to person with touch and eye contact) he walks into the Mayor's house (King Hyrule's Castle) during Zelda's 18th birthday and kills him in his office when he finds he cannot control the King, Zelda witnesses it through the door when she was on her way to get him so they can cut the cake. She runs downstairs and screams at everyone that she saw the Chief stab her dad in office and he needs help. But Ganon has an alibi and persuades everyone it was actually Zelda who killed the Mayor. He feeds off the doubt of others and hypnotizes them to agree like zombies. Link is the only one who believes her and can see through the deception mist perfectly fine (because he loves her and believes her story 110%). Together with Link the pair now have to prove what happened while also staying out of the police radar. Ganon also summons more monsters and Hyrule becomes more and more dangerous and people are herded into buildings and compounds to stay safe from the rising monster population. This scene is effectively the end of the game but the rest would be liberated the rest of the monsters." Dude someone make this happen and call me when you do cause I got plenty more ideas and I can also animate.

[@ThatAnArchyDude]

Yes. So much yes. I don't want the series to change like this forever, but this has been an interesting idea on my mind for years... especially since the original concept for the series was for the game to blend fantasy/science-fiction more so than we've yet to see.

[@karanpratapsingh5022]

This video reaffirms what I, a long time Corridor fan, have been thinking lately about Corridor. While they have made massive improvements in almost every area possible when it comes to movie making(like props, VFX effects, production etc), their writing for the most part has not evolved beyond the basic funny, internet action video formula. Now there are exceptions where they have attempted complex narratives like DayZ, Tether, Lifeline and all the Anime inspired videos but most of their other videos have a very basic narrative. I feel Corridor should either hire a talented writer or improve their own writing skills by doing a month of just narrative focused videos once in a while.

[@kingofspraycheese1072]

Karan Pratap Singh definitely

[@MadeinHell2]

Yeah as much as I like these I wish they made more pieces with a good narrative. That said honestly heavily narrative videos probably don't do so well, like ROT is imo one of the better pieces they've made recently and it has a very interesting (if a bit basic) narrative. But it didn't do as well as you'd expect.

[@Bdubb85]

Fully agreed. We all love you guys, but we don't care for 2 week releases, we care for well written and executed shorts! I get it, money is needed to be made, but justifying high-end production for so-so writing is not the way to go. All and all, this is not hate, this is just a "hopefully they listen" because it has been like this for years. A great example, Video Game Highschool season 1 vs season 3. Anyways, don't let this discourage or be negative, this is just honest feedback and I hope you guys take it to heart! (not even just my comment, it's quite rampant in the comments section)

[@karanpratapsingh5022]

ROT was great, both in narrative and execution! I noticed it didn't too well either because maybe it had a slow build up. For a KZbin video people need a quick overview of a longer video before they invest their time in it. They have started doing this mini intro thing in the longer Corridor Crew videos!

[@Bnastudios]

I completely agree with you but if you think Lifeline has great dialog writing you need to take a writing class lol. That shit is about as bad as The Flash on CW. Corridor is all about story, action and visual effects. They definitely need to invest in a writer, not for this stuff though. A writer would be WAY to critical for short form content on KZbin. But for their RED series' and future feature length material, DEFINITELY agree with you.

[@SamuelNormand_Burgunday]

4k isn't as great as people say it is. You can take 1080p footage and make it look better than uHD. The sharpness or the type of camera that is used makes the difference. Although it's quite difficult, you can even have 720p footage that looks better than HD. Take a good camera operator and give him a cheap kodak, and give a beginner an expensive and very great camera. The camera operator's gonna take better shots even if the tools he is using have a low resolution. The big number doesn't always mean that it's better. UHD or 4k (there's like two kinds of 4k, it's a bit confusing) have more pixels, that's it. The screens cost a lot more and videos that are in this resolution are a lot bigger, both in pixel ratio and in Mbits. 1080p is optimal, pretty much everything has that resolution nowadays and it's standard for our machines. Where 4k truly shines is with computer monitors and editing software. The preview of your video isn't downscaled in quality on a 4k monitor, it's stay 1920x1080 since it's all about pixels. If you shoot a movie in 4k, you can always reframe your shot by cropping it (view it as a way to improve a shot, not in a way to fix a shot), or it can always be useful with vfx, but most of the time everything is rescaled to 2k or 1080p because 4k is a bit too heavy for the machines and people won't see the difference anyways. See this like fps, there's no need to go above 60fps for a video. the same way you don't need to go above 1080p.

I love the Link = Doom Guy theory! it makes for an AWESOME yet tragic twist in the story. After fighting monsters and Gannondorf / Gannon / Dark Beast Gannon etc... for centuries if not eons Link have either given up on reincarnation. Or because Gannon could never win, he cursed link to never die in an attempt to break Link's Spirit. And with Hell it is either just that hell because Gannon gave up and it is the next evil. Or Hell is actually another dimension like in Twilight Princess and it is where Gannon is now. All the "Demons" are just part of the plan to break the Hero's spirit. The plan is once the Hero's spirit is broken Gannon can lift the curse and then defeat Link and take the Triforce from him and Zelda. This is just an idea I just thought of while commenting on this video.

Like many other comments, I was looking for more Zelda cues besides logos. Like when Link took his helmet off he could've had some head gear, like a green bandana or something. And instead of Navi saying "warning, danger present", I was hoping she said "Hey!" And the fall from the bike was a bit underwhelming for the speed of take off on the bike. A slide or roll wouldve been more realistic of a landing. But, I dig the script for the blood drops on the triforce and Ganandorf did really good. Glad to see Adrian's last piece of Corridor work for the year. Hope to see you return my dude.

[@TheBaesment]

Looks amazing as always, but didn’t feel like Zelda at all. Hardly any of the parallels between the source material and this gritty modern adaption seemed to connect. But hey, I’m just some guy eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in his mum’s basement, what do I know? It’s not like I go out there and take creative risks and make awesome videos with my friends. So good on ya lads. Looking forward to the next project.

It was sad that Link didn't wear some urban futuristic green hat derivative. And since when does he speak? There was a Triforce symbol on the building at the start and some Triforce related stuff at the end, if it wasn't for that this would have just been any other regular Corridor video. This is the first time on this channel where I am not impressed with the usage of a franchise.

[@SinisterSaintsExcellion]

Not really, green armor on the guy playing Link, the rifle had master sword's color pattern, Navi being the name of the Ai on the ear bud, the Stasis rune from breath of the wild on the machine gun guy, the bomb on the chest of the first guy was red with a white skull (the exact same pattern from the iconic explosive barrels from Breath of the wild again), i mean i can keep on going, but you're just going to pick up all the details as a zelda fan.

This short could be expanded into a small short series. The story telling about the city of Hyrule, that "device", it's origins, how it was made, put together, some back story of the bad guys, and the back story of the characters, etc. All of this could be told to tell how they got to this point of the story. It wouldnt be serialized into multi season but a nice beginning, middle, and of course we just saw the ending...There could be some legs here but this video is still just as cool on its own. Well done guys.

Not trying to be a troll, just going to say my subjective take and bounce. Unfortunately as a fan of Zelda and Corridor this video feels like the worst of both worlds. Doesn’t capture the feel of Zelda and easily could have been an adaptation of a different series or completely original. But it also fails to bring any of the fun and creativity of a Corridor video for me. I don’t think you guys need to always make comedy videos but these more serious videos need to step away from being completely grim-dark in my opinion. Sorry for the negativity on my end! Still love your guys work, I guess this one just wasn’t for me (which for the record, is totally fine)

[@A_Balanced_Breakfast]

I feel like you guys missed a massive amount of opportunities here to mess with different mechanics from Zelda games. Like what makes this at all Zelda except the names, color schemes, and the one use of Link's stasis ability? For example, it seems pretty obvious that you could've referenced the ocarina with an ipod or similar modern music device. Without a doubt, Link should've rolled AT LEAST once, if not like three times in a row to drive the point home. There was absolutely no reference to the vast range of crazy-looking monsters in the Zelda universe. Honestly, this felt absolutely nothing like a Zelda video, even if it's meant to be sci-fi Zelda, there are just so few references to the original source material beyond the boring and cheesy dialogue at the end of the video. You guys make great, inspired videos, but this really is not one of those videos.

[@Grapplehook_Lemon]

calm down internet bro, not everyone needs everything to be perfect

[@JacobHalfman]

The goal of this video obviously wasn't to be a normal corridor short. I feel people think that everything on this channel has to be a single style story wise or content wise and it's a bad attitude to have about the content corridor produces. Go back and watch sync for example. Not everything has to be a commentary on the game series and be super in depth and punny with game mechanics, thats a stylistic choice and it's super dumb to force that perspective on an obviously more serious short, like this is a pretty cool action film and it has some cool little story bits. But how would you feel if your fans kept having impossible and contradicting expectations for these vids. Like come on, how much story do you expect in a 7 minute action short. I feel like this would be awesome as a full movie, and I think the story is good for a film under 10 minutes. I certainly couldn't do any better, and frankly I don't think anyone else here could either.

[@A_Balanced_Breakfast]

I didn't expect any story, I expected it to reference the game that is in the title of the video, Zelda. It only barely did that. The quality of the video is high as always, but that isn't the point. I have watched Corridor Digital's videos for years now, I even had the opportunity to meet Niko in person at a Caribou Coffee to talk about film making and stuff like that, which I was extremely excited for and for which I am still grateful and this doesn't change that. I respect these guys immensely, but this video is far below average for them.
