[@A-RonHubbard]

A 25-plus year Zelda veteran here. I am 39, three years older than you. And Zelda is also one of those things for me that has always and will always be there! I am also avoiding spoilers like the plague. I am so enjoying tears of the Kingdom. I just finished the first dungeon, and I am blown away. Although I have little nitpicks about the game, it is getting better and better as I dive deeper into it. I have over 1000 hours into breath of the Wild! This is undoubtedly helping me.

[@adithya260]

Thank You Don for making the wait for Tears of the Kingdom bearable. It's crazy to think the pre-launch period is now over. Can't wait to see you cover Tears of the Kingdom more.

[@raffaelm6558]

It's been amazing sharing this journey with you and I can't wait to enter the next phase of talking for years about every amazing detail this game has to offer. Happy Tears of the Kingdom Day, everyone! Have a great time!

[@crazysilly2914]

When I first played BOTW, I was in Highschool, and a nerdy dorky social outcast. Now, I have 2 college degrees, a salaried job, a condo, a wife, and a baby on the way. Man, this dang game took so long to come out… better be worth it!! (and it will be from what I can tell)

[@Yet_AGOTI-2]

Part of your "job" is enjoying the experience. If you didn't... Why would you be here? Why would any of us? Your care, enjoyment, and interest is what bleeds through every vid. Your honor in keeeping your audience safe until release and the passion has been fun. Thanks for the content and keeping up the hype! Heck, truth be told this whole community has inspired me. I can't wait for TotK and more to come from you and all the folks in this little yt "zelda" community and your little nook in it.

[@HaruVibes_]

You've brought something truly special to this community and I look forward to what else you continue to contribute. Thank you!

[@princesspiranha]

I think the "Life as a Bokoblin" video was my first introduction to your channel. I found it absolutely brilliant! I've said it before but I will say it again: You always put so much effort in your work and it really shows! Amazing animations and framing!! You can feel the love for your work and for Zelda. So thank you too! ❤ Also, because I started to watch your video's, it unlocked the beautiful world of Zeldatube to me. Love hearing all the theories and analysis. It also made me realize how much this franchise means to me. I was around 8 years old when I played Ocarina of Time and I am 31 right now. I always knew I loved Zelda games so much, but I didn't know just HOW much. It's almost like an obsession haha. But maybe it is more like you said: A comfort zone. 💚

[@underplayer420]

I loved going on the journey of theorizing with you. It's what got me really invested in the lore and story of not just this game but the entire Zelda timeline. Which is one of the reasons I love Zelda so much. Thank you. For making the content your passionate about. And thank you for just being yourself.

[@clampcita]

Thank you! Your videos made the wait so much more bearable, and the production has always been impeccable. Can't believe it's almost here!

This thanks goes to you! Your videos have brightened my live now for the last two years! I can’t wait for you to make many many videos about Tears of the Kingdom!

[@SwedePotato314]

No thank YOU! This channel is so much fun, I enjoy the content so much. It’s been great to see you branch out and try different things creatively. I’m here for everything that TotK brings to your channel!

[@IMDWTT]

Calling the past 6 years "the era of anticipation" made me realize how unique and fun of a journey this wait for TOTK has been because of creators like you, Zeltik, NBC, etcetera. Zelda KZbin videos made in the wake of BOTW have served as the most important touchstones for fans in this massive and far-reaching convergence of the Zelda fandom we're all in right now. It's been such a singular and enriching experience to feel connected to so many others that have been just as profoundly impacted by TLOZ as I have. You were an integral and irreplaceable part of making that happen, so as cheesy as it sounds, you have my sincere thanks MM. Enjoy TOTK, can't wait for what's next.

It has truly been a special journey. Thank you for all your hard work Don. Your videos are always entertaining, I look forward to a sequel regarding our favourite Bokiblin, Larry!

Truly one of the best Zelda content channels. The first video of yours I ever saw a few years ago just blew me away. I couldn't believe someone was able to capture such beautiful and clean visuals from the games, on top of making some of the most interesting analysis on the subject. I'm so excited to see what you come up with now that TOTK has been released! Take your time to enjoy it. These first few weeks are just so special!!

Thank you so much Don, I've been watching your channel for two years already and the whole journey up to this point has been amazing. Your channel not only provided immaculate videos that have no doubt taken lots of work but also lots of love put into them too. I'm also grateful for this community. I'll never regret my time spent here. I met so many incredible people, and without this channel that wouldn't have been possible. Thanks again, you're awesome!

[@JacobKeele]

So crazy to think how long it's been and how far we've come! Stoked to finally have this game! Thanks for such excellent content!

[@Duffin_Plus]

Thank you, Monster Maze. I really appreciate your love and passion for Zelda and I’m glad to have been here on this journey! I’m really happy ToTK is finally out, it is genuinely surreal. Waiting for ToTK has been weird and maybe even confusing, but above all it has been extremely exciting and it has been a blast to be a part of the community. It’s weird saying goodbye to breath of the wild… like, extremely bittersweet, but I’m so happy we get to sink our teeth in ToTK. I love Zelda so much and finally having the chance to wait for such a massive game has been a pleasure and an honor. Thank you monster maze for the great videos, and please enjoy the game as much as you can!! Have fun :)

[@lins_z2]

This became my favorite zelda channel since the first time I found it, I think with the age of calamity theories. The motions, theories and dedications were insanely good! Can’t wait for your theories and analysis that come from TOTK. After I’m done with the story, of course lol! We all waited so long for this!

[@pedroelias4054]

It was your chronology video that got me hyped for this game. I mean BOTW was one of my favorite games to begin with and I was already a Zelda fan and watched multiple theories and analysis on the sequel. But it was that video that got me dreaming at night about how this game was gonna roll. Thank you so much for your work and for being an essential part of this journey. I am still very young (16 years old) so the wait for this game is actually more than a third of my intire life. I don't think there is going to be such a highly anticipated game realease in my life as this one, and without you it wouldn't have been the same. The most hyped I've ever been for TOTK is when I started watching your videos in 2020. I haven't been more hyped ever since. You are without a shadow of a doubt the best Zelda tuber. It was people like you that made the wait so enjoyable that, right now, if the game turns out to be a huge dissapointment (which it won't) I'd be fine as it brought me so many good memories and fun times. I'm eager to see your future work. Have fun with TOTK!

I really hope you enjoy TOTK!Watching your theories after long hours of studying have been the highlight of my day more than once! As a relatively new Zelda fan (BOTW was the first Zelda I ever completed) you made me this series more special for me than I ever thought possible. Please feel free to take your time playing the game, after all the quality work you put out it's more than deserved! 💚

[@NovaDraconis]

I haven’t watched your channel for a very long time because of the close release of TOTK. But today, I am glad of you, and many other Zelda theorists, about the big effort you all made to theorise everything you could about the future of the Zelda series, including TOTK and your Zonai long documentary that I still think about sometimes. Thank you for everything 💚

[@alizarinastacrimson]

Thank you don for all your hard work through our anticipation for the game! Your visuals and explanations have kept me excited and engaged alongside other Zelda theorists like Zeltik and Commonwealth Realm. Can’t wait to play the game tonight and in a week or so start talking with others about it and seeing how y’all start finding the little hidden gems.

[@Brando2301]

I am in the same camp, this series will forever be my comfort zone and will always hold a place in my heart. Gotta say though, you and the rest of the Zelda creators who have put so much of their own passion into this franchise have kept my hype at exponential levels. I can't wait to hear about your experiences too, enjoy it to the fullest :)
