[@stefos100]

Dear Majorlink, after playing through oot over a dozen times i feel like the story has less of an emotional impact for me than it did through the first few play throughs, naturally. However watching these recreations of the cut scenes, you have mannaged to bring back those same feeling and bring back the magic that is playing oot for the first time. Watching this brings back gteat memories of my childhood. Thanksyou

[@joking_oregon1]

The smoothness of your animation is getting better with each video keep up the good work

[@ScourgeBladeZelda]

This scene was just one of many bland Sheik scenes, but as usual just like the rest so far, you brought it to life. the animation looked gorgeous and flowed naturally. SFX were a nice touch too. I adored that Link reflection at 2:53. it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling and it symbolizes Link's transformation and how far he's come since he started but in a way also has a tragic undertone to it cause that maturity was rushed and shows the inside of his soul that's saying maybe this isn't what he wants at all. he may be an adult on the outside but he's still an innocent child on the inside and on top of being beautiful to look at really sells how sad OOT Link's life really is. I also enjoy how over the course of these animations you've shown a type of dynamic between Link and Sheik that just isn't there in the game. It's nice to see these two act like human beings and emote to what's going on cause in the game, you don't get a shred of that from Link or Sheik. Sheik emotes less and it's harder to tell because of his mask, but it's there and that's how it should be. The way he moves and emotes also makes Sheik's normal time philosophy shtick not seem nearly as dumb and could just be viewed as a character quirk instead of just unneeded filler just to give him more to say when you encounter him cause it's not necessary in the game at all. You also put more emphasis on the fact that *Sheik saved Ruto* which was just kinda glossed over in the game. It feels like Sheik is really helping to make this world a better place. maybe the rest of the things Sheik does just doesn't effect the player and this animation shows me the possibilities of what else he may have done to help. things that we may or may not even find out about I do have a few problems with this one though. I'll start with the one you're already aware of. The background like you said, is much more memorable in the game with the little sparkles in the walls that make it look so pretty. but the fact that you're already aware of this tells me, you may have already tried but it just didn't look good with the higher quality models and if that's the case then that's fine. if you couldn't even get the room, then that's fine too as there's nothing you could've done on that one so I'll leave that one as a nitpick and move on. Link's hand at 1:12 is clipping through the floor slightly which normally I wouldn't comment on since I'm sure it's much harder than it looks to fix, and when I do notice it in your animations it's not a big deal and I know that you'll be able to fix little things like that as you grow so it's not really worth mentioning. but when the camera is fully zoomed in like that, it's much easier to notice and becomes a much bigger issue. With no better way to say this, it looks kinda sloppy. The biggest one for me however is Link's tunic. Link wearing the blue tunic here makes no sense at all. The way you normally get the blue tunic is by unfreezing King Zora from the ice with the Blue Fire you can get in the Ice Cavern... the place where this very scene takes place. It doesn't make sense for Link to be wearing the blue tunic here since he shouldn't even have it by this point in his adventure. and while it is possible to get it earlier, by getting Blue Fire, unfreezing the entrance to the Zora shop and buying one, there's no reason for link to do so in the game, or in the story since you don't need the blue tunic for the ice cavern and there's no reason to backtrack to get it since King Zora will just give one to you for free anyway. And I doubt Link as a person would know to do something like that on his own cause why would he? why would he backtrack like that to buy something he may or may not even need when he's right there in the cavern to supposedly save the rest of the Zora race anyway if he knows it's even there at all. I might be overthinking the fuck out of this but it just doesn't seem that well thought out in my opinion. Still does little to detract from this beautiful scene remake. It goes without saying but Imma say it anyway... wonderful job.

[@OneToxicPixel]

I can't stress enough how much I love this series! The new entry fits in perfectly with the other videos, yet again Sheik reveals how much she cares for Link in a very subtle way. I love this!

I REALLY LOVE HOW THE SOUND OF THE "A" BUTTON IS THERE. It gives me the feeling that I'm playing the game with these beautiful cutscenes.

[@elleenoel512]

I can't help but think that Sheik is seeing herself as Zelda in the reflection. And I love how you can make Link look so young as an adult, just through facial expressions. You can really see him age throughout the videos, even though his timeline is jacked up.

[@luciedesaunay7800]

Je ne sais pas si vous allez comprendre ce que je vais dire mais ce n'est pas grave. Bref, ce que je voulais dire c'est ce que tu fais est incroyable en plus j'adore The Legend Of Zelda surtout Sheik Continue c'est génial ce que tu fais.

[@SylverMage]

Amazing :D The Serenade of Water was always one of my favourites from OoT. The amount of pain and regret in Sheik's movements is amazing. You can feel the frustration that they can't do more to protect Hyrule and its people. I wonder what Sheik saw reflected in the ice? :)

[@Raiigen]

Sheik's saying in the Ice Cavern has always been one of my favorite in games quotes, but this just took it to a whole new level as well as a different insight.

[@TimeturnerJ]

You always remind me why that bond between Link and Sheik is so special to me.

[@wolfmand3221]

I can't help but tear up with each new video. You are damn good at bringing emotion to old ideas and making them fresh.

[@Kahtisemo]

Wow I can see so much improvement in the smoothness of this animation and the playing of instruments especially. 💞 This one really gets to me. That scene always hurt in the game how you just got through the dungeon, received your prize, and suddenly there's this /presence/ and Link's reaction only to see it's Sheik. But then I love what you did with the scene where the talk about the flow of time became more than just words. There's so much here from the subtlety of body language and facial expressions, the moment of Link's true reflection of seeing himself as the child he still is inside but accepting he's growing up, and that ending after Navi thanked Sheik for saving "the princess". It's sad because we know that the flow of time hasn't been kind to Zelda and a bit interesting that they use the metaphor of the river which here in Zora's domain has been stopped. But just as they're all moving forward, Ganondorf cannot stop the flow of time and the end of his reign is imminent, just as the domain is said it will flow again one day.

[@DarkKnight7889]

You really captured the emotion of this scene that the original game didn't. Incredibly well done.

[@strategicarchitect869]

You know MajorLink, watching these videos of yours reminds me of a rumor I heard a few years after Ocarina of Time was released. I remember that the rumor goes that Shiek was originally supposed to be more than just an ally you'd see as you progress through the game. Rather, that Shiek was supposed to be an ally who actively fought and cooperated with Link. I know now that it was just a silly rumor thrown around in the playground but...watching these videos and the emotion behind them. It always brought me back to that memory, making me wonder how the game would've been if that was the case. At any rate, thank you for giving me a reason to smile today.

[@soreiyang]

[@Fyr365]

What a beautiful animation... I felt a much welcomed pang of nostalgia. The vibrations of the harp were a nice touch. But the facial expressions of Link and the look in Sheik's eyes really did the magic for me. And the little glimpse of Ruto was just bittersweet. Also props to Brook for the beautiful music and Jay for the sound effects! It all complemented the animation very well.

It was a great video. The start with Link opening a chest is welcome because it reminds me of the few times he smiled in the original game. I like how Sheik becomes more emotive with the way her eyes move. Link's memories of Ruto are appreciated. I hope someday the meeting with her giving him the Zora Sapphire can be animated. You have impressive eye for details as the Serenade of Water shows good placement on Link and Sheik's fingers as they play their instruments. The last frames where Sheik holds the Deku Nut in her hand and lets it fall shows how much Link means to her. She doesn't need to escape from him as much as she used to do so.
