I just love the relationship between Link and Midna in this game. Very few games even pull off having a sidekick successfully, and even fewer manage to so effectively portray a relationship that goes from antagonistic to deep friendship in a way that draws the player along with them.

A Fun theory. It is believed the Skull Kid in the Woods is an Altered form of the Skull Kid in Majora's Mask/ Ocarina of Time. The reason he plays with you is because Twilight Link is dressed like/looks like the Hero of Time. They were friends. Will the Hero of Twilight be.... his friend, too?

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

Head canon OoT/MM Link asked skull kid to play and lead people to the master sword predicting his descendant would need the master sword.

[@anasdomain9994]

Play? He was trying to murder him haha. Maybe skull kid saw this guy dressed as the hero of time and thought he was impersonating his friend, so he got pissed tried to kill him. Then the 2nd time he probably realized it was link so he led him to the spot.

[@shadowking4249]

"Playing hide and seek with bows and arrows" is a freaken bad ass line

[@jak4470]

In the previous video, Wind Waker was mentioned. Let's hope that you cover that lore next. In all honesty, it's very tragic. Zelda sent Link back in time so he could relive his childhood, but then Ganon returned and with no hero to stop him, the goddesses flooded all of Hyrule. It's like Ocarina of Time was one great big mistake on Zelda's part.

[@xxvaltielxx1789]

Yeah, that Zelda really fucked up, the whole world went to shit, all those lives we meet in other Zelda games just gone, that's why you don't mess with the natural order of the world

[@somerandomschmuck2547]

Admittedly Tetra and Link eventually did found a new Hyrule, one that seemed to reach much further technologically than other versions of the kingdom of the seemingly state run train system was anything to go by

[@Eedden42]

And such the three timelines diverge.

[@jakemartin2356]

Just depends on how you look at it. The events of OOT split the timeline 3 ways, the return of evil and of Ganondorf or Ganon occurs in every single timeline. The curse Demise put on himself, Zelda, and Link in Skyward Sword assures they will be locked in this endless cycle. No matter what she did or how she went about it, the return of the Demon King is always definite.

[@coultersheppard2052]

@@xxvaltielxx1789 Zelda watched Link stab Ganon squarely in the head, and then watched Ganon be sealed away. In The Legend of Zelda, these are the only things that actually work when sealing up Ganondorf. Sage-sealing, and Master Sword impalement.

Nipple chicken will never fail to make me laugh

[@balancedbeast7952]

Man they needed a sequel for this game.

[@Elementianhero22]

Link's Crossbow Training was supposed to be a TP sequel, but the only thing they kept from that concept was a new battle with Stallord in the Gerudo Desert. Miyamoto wanted a FPS to use the Wii Zapper, so he literally 'shot down' the sequel idea. Dang it, Miyamoto-sama! 😤 ...gotta love unintentional puns. lol

[@maddoxbeattie1568]

maybe Tears of the Kingdom after this most recent trailer!

[@MattEww94]

Those last lines! Chills. So perfectly written and so excellently delivered. Thank you for all the work you put into these. While I’m sad to leave Hyrule behind I can’t wait to see what series or game you tackle next. Also, nipple chicken.

[@Wolfgoddess56]

A few years ago I too would have reacted the same way to the spider. But they're in EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. And they're huge! So I've just gotten used to it. Except for real spiders lol

[@brothers_of_nod]

@@WhistleAndSnap Memento Mori, my friend.

[@MollyOKami]

I've always seen the image of Zant a bit of mockery, the final joke on Ganondorf. If you remember in OoT, the Master Sword was the final key that sealed away the whereabouts of the Triforce. In TP, when Link stabs Ganondorf, he essentially locks away the power of the Triforce of Power. It was that power that prevented Ganondorf from being executed in the first place, so his death came when its power was locked behind the Master Sword after being struck. Like Zant was a puppet of Ganondorf, Ganondorf was a puppet to the Triforce of Power…and "his strings had finally been cut." THAT is why Zant & his neck snapping are in there.

[@blindOni]

Thank you for that spider ⚠️. Lmao thank you for also making it funny, I flipped my phone over

[@TiptoeTheTank]

No prob! That part even made me uncomfortable. That thing was nasty.

[@AmzzNotFound]

[@jasonpelkey7389]

Just got recommend these videos and I couldn't be happier to spend a couple hours enjoying the lore of one of my favorite games. Did catch one mistake however. Link battles King Bulblin a total of 4 times, not 3. The battle outside the Arbiters Grounds was missed.

[@Elementianhero22]

Also, she mixed up the terms 'ancestor' and 'descendant'. OoT Link and Zelda are Ancestors of their Descendants, TP Link and Zelda.

Thos game took me years to beat as a child. Mainly before the water temple as a kid (due to 1 softlock and that escort mission with illia & telma) but i loved all my time with this game. When i finally beat it, i was a teenager in highschool. This game was there for me through good and bad times man

[@n543576]

Beautiful story, and exceptionally well told. I have a new found respect for this franchise of video games and I think I understand why theres so many fans of it. But I won't lie, there sounded like there was ALOT of backtracking which sounded like absolute hell.

[@fihyrulesmonado7659]

I never minded the backtracking, but for some people, it was one of the more divisive parts.

[@fennwenn3317]

Part of what keeps it from getting too tedious is the twilight portals you can travel through . . . unless you're like I was as a kid and forget to fight the twilight beasts in order to open certain portals in the first place. Then it's hell.

[@aaringriese8312]

Can I, as an arachnophobe who absolutely broke my controller the first time I got to the fight at the end of the temple of time, say that I really appreciate the spider warning? That's really nice, especially if someone is watching this and hasn't played these yet, that could really get some phones chucked or screens punched lol. Thank you!

In my life i’ve only had the privilege of playing a select few games that stirred me to deep emotion and genuine care for the characters, and this game is one of them. It was my first introduction to The legend of Zelda. Memories of playing this game come out of a time of deep darkness in my life and falling in love with this story, the characters, and the deep sadness, yet fulfillment the separation of our characters at the end of the story left me with will be something I always remember. This game is and ever will be my favorite ever.

I've never played any Zelda games, but your videos have made me love the series, I can't wait for more lore videos from you! I'm someone who likes lore and music the most. I've played A LOT of Pokémon games, I could care less about the actual battles, preferring to bop to the music, and get through battles ASAP to get back to the story. I'm also glad you're here, I don't think I would have the patience/dexterity to properly play/enjoy these games, through you people like me can still enjoy these games. Sometimes commentary can ruin moments, but your comments/narrations are perfect, and fit the stories perfectly! I have a fear of spiders, but I'm glad I didn't skip because, although brief, your commentary was hilarious! Thank you for the time stamp though! The way you say wolf is adorable, and it's one of the things that makes these playthroughs yours. It's not just any playthrough, and your pronunciation of wolf just adds to your video's charms! I wouldn't change it for the world! Why was the, Yeti love eww? Was it because she looked like a kid/pupua(?) instead of an adult? Hmm, King Boblin respects Link now eh? Wonder how/if that will play out in a future enstalment!(?) Just like William Afton, I believe Gannondorf will never truly be gone, "they will always come back." And so will Link and Zelda! Man LOZ games are dark and sad, and I thought some Pokémon games were bad... I feel so bad for Midna, never being able to see her friends again, unless there's a shared afterlife where they can meet again! All the pain she's endured, especially the ending with fighting Zelda's body! (doesn't sound great without context lol! If you're a comment browser, please watch her video above for context!) The writing in this enstalment is fantastic, huge kudos to the writing team at Nintendo! Through your narration Link is not just a playable character, he's human, he feels things, he's alive! Keep up the truly fantastic videos- maybe someday I'll actually be able to catch one of your streams, which then get edited, and put on here!
