[@kageokami5]

Wind Waker has most of my picks for enemy design. They have so much character and the sound design really adds to them. TP did well with making some enemies creepy/gross as well that also take my picks

[@krazyivan9733]

I have to agree. Wind wakers artsyle and sound design are top notch for the series. Its part of why Wind Wakers artsyle was the only one to be reused in future games (majoras mask doesnt count, as it was simply a direct sequel with ported assets on the same hardware) Armos, Chuchu, Deku Baba, Bubble, Bokoblin, Moblin, Redead, Wizzrobe, and Floormaster all had incredible sound design in Wind Waker, and id say the only badly designed enemy in Wind Waker is Beamos, simply because the wind waker design is boring (a nondescript pillar with a ball of light).

[@melvinshaw7574]

WindWaker wins on Dark Nuts for me, simply because the Doberman look is extremely amusing. They are arguably the last remnant of the Goriya species, outside of the one in Link's Awakening that trades you the Boomerang.

[@MeigsmerlinMeigsmerlin]

Yeah the sound design for wall masters and deku babas make them the best picks for sure

[@captainkawaii666]

Yeah it's hard to beat Wind Waker in terms of style- I do like the BotW Bokoblins more, and the TP Darknuts, but other than that pretty much every recurring enemy that appears in WW has my favorite of its designs in that game

[@makeherclimax]

I can’t get over the skyward sword lizalfos. I love their taunting personality and their sporadic move sets

Fun fact: Wind Waker is the only 3d zelda game to not use the "ball of light with wings" fairy design. Its funny, because in every 3d zelda game with great fairies, they look like humans, but the normal fairies are balls of light, meanwhile in wind waker, the regular fairies look like little humans whilst the great fairies look like alien beings.

Rude, really. WindWaker based designs are simply my favorite due to the sheer charm of their dopey expression, with the Wild era variant being a close second. I don't like the Skyward Sword version, though I at least respect what they tried. The Twilight Princess one's kind of void of personality, being basically just a jelly slug. And the Majora's Mask version can quite simply burn in hell.

[@SomeGuy-tr2hi]

@@melvinshaw7574 WW is definitely the most iconic version, given that it appears in three other games. It’s hard to disagree that it’s the best, very bright and colorful, satisfyingly goopy, and the noises they make and the origin behind them are hilarious. With SS and BotW I actually like what they did with them, nothing crazy but effective as a good slime enemy design. As much as I love and defend TP, it’s Chu-Chu designs really are kinda nothing.

I feel like The Deku Baba easily goes to Skyward Sword, not just because the appearance is so good, but because of the gameplay elements that are communicated through the design. In SS, Deku Babas have a hard rock shell, protecting from attacks in the wrong direction, with the direction of the mouth indicating which way you need to slice to successfully kill them. I also love how in SS, there are so many alternative ways of beating them, like: -Parrying them stuns them and allows you to cut off the stalk, instantly killing them. -Shooting them with a slingshot stuns them too. -The Beetle item can fly under it and cut the stalk. -The Bow and Arrow can cut the stalk. -They love eating bombs.

[@spaceowl9246]

WW Deku Baba????

[@firestarex3544]

While I love how Deku Baba's function in Skyward Sword, I actually prefer their Twilight Princess appearance. The Baba's In SS look really weird having an animal-like fleshy mouth with actual teeth. I like it when they stick to plant features that mimic animal features like in the earlier designs.

[@NoxWyatt]

I’m not really seeing how the TP Gibdos are considered insectoid. TOTK I can understand, but TP has no features on them that makes them give off that kind of appearance. Also, the Helmasaur-like enemies in Majora’s Mask are actually called Hiploops. They’re actually quite rare enemies in the game, and only appear on the wooden bridges outside of Woodfall Temple, and a few inside of Stone Tower Temple. As far as I know, the one right outside the boss door in Stone Tower Temple is the only one wearing a metal mask. The rest are unmasked.

[@meow762]

right? TP gibdos are mummies with bits of armors and stuff, i was really confused when he called them insectoid

[@kisameplays1624]

To be fair, Hiploop IS the Japanese name for Helmasaur, so in Majora's Mask they are intended to be the same enemy, just that they didn't translate the name for one reason or another.

Great video, though admittedly I wish you took the Cadence of Hyrule designs into account since that game has some really good ones, including my personal favorite version of the Wizzrobes where they take the "cartoon wizard" look mentioned at 14:09 , but also turn them into birds as an homage to the ones from Wind Waker, but instead of toucans, the ones in CoH look like crows/ravens, either of which is way more fitting as a dark wizard since both birds are known for being highly intelligent AND overly antagonistic.

6:58 Sheikah Monks. Granted yes, BotW came out way later, but given they tied their designs to them, and where they appear, it is likely still the case they are Sheikah Monks defending what is supposed to be holy structures or locations for the Royal Family, but warped by Ganondorf’s magic.

[@KairuHakubi]

as somebody attempting to draw every zelda enemy, and pick a unified / best / original style for each.. this video is going to be fascinating. The thing that messed me up most about Octarok is they have octa in the name, but then in Wind Takt which (like a certain other popular nintendo franchise's first gamecube game) decided to just make huge changes.. suddenly they are clearly squid. But then if you look back at Ocarina again, it's kind of ambiguous what kind of cephalopod it is.. the big ones even have shells. so I can let it go lol. I am pretty sure some of those 'crows' are the enemy Crowly, and others are Guays.. Guays have had neat design changes for sure. like the beak reaching back behind the eye.. Part of the issue with the inconsistency of the various wormy-centipedey enemies is that the localization just seems to toss the names around at random. But honestly, even in the original Japanese, it's still inconsistent. Whether it's mold, tail, or lanemola.. you have to pretty much roll the dice to see if you're getting a worm, a centipede, a caterpillar... Some of those pig-moriblins are actually called Butablin, but some of them realy are Moriblins so yeah they definitely vary. Dog, pig, and oni features all around. 14:13 that enemy is actually called Kamabado. The localizers got lazy, as they did a lot in this era. 15:40 lol N64 wasn't the origin of Dodongos my good man, they were in the very first game, and the fourth gave us a bizarre worm form. and some newer ones too you seem to have missed. I wonder if the localization is different in your country, because in the US, the enemy Hiploop is called Helmasaur only in some of those games. When it's a bug, they left the name alone. But they are all Hiploop originally. And the "Helmasaur King" also shares his real name with an unrelated enemy the "Helmaroc King", they are both jiikurokku. kinda hard to parse.

[@felixthecat403]

When talking about what a good or a bad design is, there Always will be some personal preferences, but there also some objectiv way to analyse it wich I think is more interesting. Trying to take on the reasons of why did the designer make these choices. The lizalfos design is great in botw, but why ? Probably because the camelion base make them look more unique but also because they were studied to be cohérent this way. By attacking with their long tong, running like a lizard, Horn showing their grade, all this is though by the designers.

I'm sorry but how does TP gibdo look like an insect to you

[@joaovictor_of]

It's interesting to see how TP's realistic style aged questionably

[@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780]

4:33 i think i saw that thing in shadow the hedgehog as one of black dooms units

[@Thegaminglord4-6-7]

6:54 that thing came out of the backrooms right there, MY GOD!!!

[@NitwitsWorld]

Actually wolfos are going to make their grand return in Echoes of Wisdom soon.

[@Solegate]

You forgot Ganon himself...

[@KebaRPG]

Totally forgot the 2D Era NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advanced Designs.

[@YTPremiumWatch]

Loving this channel 🙏

[@magmatavius]

Genuinely good Zelda content. Thank you

[@ImpapediaYT]

Thank you!

I think this video is too big on the 3D game supremacy, especially glazing oot/mm and twilight princess a little too much, it complretely discounts great character designs like minish cap's Helmasaur or any sprite based moldorms.

[@springlink3188]

On Poes: I personally prefer the N64 design over Twilight Princess, even though I grew up on Twilight and have never player Ocarina or Majora, because of the irony of a design. It's a cute yet mysterious Ghost, making it unsettling purely in the fact that it still tries to put on a nice facade, yet it's completely black face and odd robe will always remind you - It's a dead person's ghost

[@Videospiel-Man5730]

The best design of the helmasaur is the gameboy sprite they look hillarious without their mask!

[@AustinMcDermott-bh2po]

14:50 shouldn’t you have included botw flying heads with the malice around it

[@legionxcommanderdegurechaf8566]

the DarkNUT

[@thesis-and-nieces6722]

I’ve always loved the darknut appearance in wind waker far better than twilight. The main reasons is that they are a different species in wind waker. Almost rodent like maybe squirrel because of the “nut” part of the name. But their armor looks very cool in WW

[@BlankSpaceMonsterASMR]

I would’ve included the Zant’s Hand from Twilight Princess since I consider that to be a Wallmaster even though the name very clearly says it’s something else.

[@xxleoproxx7495]

I agree with the most but not with the moblins… BRO THAT LOOKS LIKE A WEIRD COW 13:19

[@BitDinosaur710]

Fine video but nowhere near EVERY Zelda enemy, just the general/more well known ones.

[@kadabraguy9846]

It's all the recurring ones, minus ones that don't change much between games like Chu Chus

[@shadowdragun]

How the hell are the redead knights (yes i know they are gibdos bit that is their offical name) insectoids?

[@holgerlarsson7531]

You sould do this with classic bosses that have had multiple iterations as well! Like Gohma and Phantom ganon!

[@ImpapediaYT]

Oooh great idea, I'm definitely doing that in the future!

[@TheRealBatabii]

I get that this video is focusing more on 3D models than Sprites but it's still weird that you didn't even mention Cadence of Hyrule

[@re_4merchant]

What are you talking about? Twilight princesses gibdos don’t look insectoid in the slightest. They’re more realistic mummies than any of the others
