[@Grifflicious]

One of my favorite things about following you, Raz, is how many content creators you turn your community onto and how into the community you are. Your willingness to help give other creators shine is awesome and it makes me feel a strange sense of pride to be a fan of yours. Like, what I've invested in you as a person/content creator has value and bares incredible fruit like @wizawhat from time to time. Thank you for all you do and thank you, Wizawhat for this great video. Truly awesome stuff.

[@Cynthesia]

That's Clint Stevens. That's Quality. great video man, perfectly encapsulates what's so special about Clint and his streams.

[@wizawhat]

I hope he does too!

[@chanceneck8072]

Has he yet? This would make for a GREAT reaction video. I´m gonna recommend this to him as soon as I can, for a number of times......

[@xenoda8120]

as someone who has the largest amount of chat messages in clint's chat, i can confident say that BROTHER, THIS GUY STINKS (tomato). all joking aside, i think i saw every clint stream for his first 5 years. from oot, to the culling, back to oot, to mario, to variety, to mario, etc. i can confidently say that clint has majorly helped me in so many ways. without even mentioning the giant charity stream he did for my dog when she needed life-saving surgery, clint is a constant conpanion i could count on. i have super-anxiety from some genetic issues and man, i can't tell you how many times it helped me to just boot up clint's stream and immediately feel like i was in an environment i knew well. even if i had to shoot some plebs in the chat, it always felt like i was at home. miss you clint. come back soon. i want more pleb blood.

[@wizawhat]

xenoda, you're honestly a staple of the stream for me. Thanks for watching man!

[@Fanchus]

Let me share with you how Clint helped me in one of my most difficult times of my life because this video resonated so much with me. About 2 years ago, I was having panic attacks every single night, I lived alone, horrible night terrors and the feeling of impending doom and the feeling I was going to go crazy or die, it was fucking awful, but you know what's the only thing that calmed me down whenever I was having a panic attack?? When I knew I couldn't control it? I would quickly go on KZbin, tell myself everything was going to be alright, and play whatever Clint video I would find first. His voice, his hilarious jokes and stories, all of it distracted me from the nightmare I was going through and slowly, the panic attacks would fade away. Clint doesn't know how fucking much he helped me during those times, I owe him SO MUCH!!! Since then I started medication for anxiety and depression and the panic attacks are gone, but for that time, Clint was not only a familiar face and phenomenal streamer, he felt like a friend trying to soothe me and tell me everything is going to be alright. 💙

[@wizawhat]

Thanks for sharing your story! I'm so glad your panic attacks are gone now. I could not agree more with you ❤️

Clint is the only streamer I watch. He’s so real you almost feel like you know him. He isn’t sensitive, he isn’t greedy or trendy, he doesn’t try to be anything other of himself. Big respect ✊

[@evanonline8409]

The section about hesitantly joining a Twitch community is extremely relatable and especially interesting coming from you as a mainstay in the only Twitch community I'm a part of. Great vid, Wiz!

[@wizawhat]

Love seeing your name in both Raz and I's chats 😄

[@br0dus]

I watched this when Atrioc reacted to it earlier today and I must say that this is a very good video. It had an amazing script and phenomenal editing. Also dude when I watch this I can see how much emotion is behind it and how you are expressing that emotion. One of the best videos on the platform BTW, good stuff bud

[@wizawhat]

It means a lot to me to see you come here and say that. Not gonna lie I was in chat and it was really nerve wracking seeing him and the stream react to it in real time and I didn't have the best reaction myself. So again, thanks it means a lot to hear that!

[@dirkhardpeck3773]

Is there a vod of him reacting to this?

[@dblundz]

Still remember having him on my TV late at night during college. Helped me fall asleep. Miss his streams

[@Drawfield]

I’m a rather new Clint viewer, I started watching at the beginning of quarantine and his streams that summer kept my mind off things. I didn’t grow up with video games but the rhythm of his chat still made me feel welcome and I could join in. I never really stayed up late for anything before and there I was at 3am almost nightly watching. Thank you for making this video! It scratches that itch of explaining why we anticipate him going live and stick around which is super hard to put into words most of the time.

[@ChristopherZ]

That's Clint "The Legend" Stevens. That's quality.

[@Kellentm]

I really connect with a lot of things said in this video. Particularly that bit about feeling like we could be "a part of something" with Clint's stream. In a time where I had lost absolutely everything and everyone, developed bad insomnia, and in general lost contact with the world; I found Clint's stream as one of my only escapes in those late hours and felt better connecting with everyone and being a part of the jokes and community. Lots of residual nostalgia from watching, thanks for making this video

[@wizawhat]

You're welcome Kellen, comments like these are why I do this, I'm glad I could help you in a way and hope you're out there killing it in life now

[@betterthanbrooklyn5806]

Thanks for making this video. I will continue to believe in the return of Clint.

[@Eleven17Studios]

This video feels tailor-made for me. My earliest and fondest video game memories involved watching my own older brother playing through (up until the Water Temple) and used to watch speedruns to get through a low point as well. This hit just right today, thanks

[@wizawhat]

Hell yeah, you're welcome and glad I could relate!

[@eyerly7175]

I had the exact same experience and I found Clint back in like 2016 and loved watching him play endless hours of OOT and I was quite sad when he moved to SM64 as it felt like growing up and moving on all over again. Great video

[@Zundelle]

Yeah Clint's streams were always pretty relaxing and I also remember slowly falling asleep to them quite a bi- wuf, wuf, BARK, BAK, RURURURURURU

[@wizawhat]

LMAO JUNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Wowee

[@jeb495]

This video is really damn good. Thank you for taking the time to make this, clints streams radiate comfy energy

I have no idea why this was reccommended to me so late, but you hit a note that I never thought another human being would hit for me.

[@ShaggySolidCore]

Man, this is beautiful, and I'm glad that you found a love for my personal Favorite Game of All Time xD it's got a place in alot of people's hearts, and you found where it belongs in yours at the time you needed it, accompanied by someone like Clint who does have such a chill vibe :) happy for you

[@cornelius212]

[@anay9584]

Man this was a phenomenal video dude keep it up! No better feeling than being depressed with school and stumbling on an oot streamer who got convinced he had testicular cancer

[@eric_reeves21]

This video is amazing, I unfortunately was to young to know much about Twitch and once I got into it, Clint was done with OoT however I have never connected more to a video than this one as Clint's videos and streams would get me through some really depressing times and he has no idea how thankful I am as his KZbin videos were probably the best to relieve my anxiety and heartbreak over my situation. I hope Clint sees this video and that whatever he is doing he is happy and thank you for making a video that summed up my feelings towards Clint's channel in a more concise way than I ever could.

[@wizawhat]

Honestly thank god he started making KZbin videos as there is always something to go back to!

[@Guwi]

Watching this makes his 2 month break hurt less.....That’s Clint Stevens.... THATS quality.

[@garvidge]

This resonates with me so much. I want to say more about how well it captures what makes Clint great, but I think the video speaks for itself. Absolutely incredible.

[@Andiemations]

I've come back to this video many times & as stupid & cheesy as it is, i cry everytime LOL! I come here 2 years later and I see regulars comment, so I think it's time i do too. I'm never one to comment on videos EVER, however I feel its important that you know the effort you put in this love letter video is not unnoticed & thank you, with all my heart, for making this video. Thank you for making a video I can always go back to on why I adore Clint as a streamer. (even if its also about OoT!) I hope its not lame of me to put my personal clonk story too. I wanna say I also discovered clint around the same time, I believe I was around the mario64 runs? Right as I was being hit by a natural disaster + just moving to a new place where I was completely isolated. I don't need to repeat your own points to you, as you've already expressed my same sentiments. I was very lucky he noticed me and my art, and gave me the opportunity to let me (and my friend!) work on his iconic offline screen, which im extremely honored to have shown in your video. He's been my inspiration for art ever since, which is a big deal to me LOL. Please keep going with your endeavors, and thank you for being a part of this community. ♡

[@wizawhat]

Thank you so much for your comment. Honestly it feels amazing to know that this video was good enough to warrant coming back to several times. Just... thank you. It's absolutely NOT lame to share your own story, that's part of why I make videos like this. I love hearing other people's stories. I also remember your name from chat. Your art is fantastic and I absolutely had to feature the offline screen here. Again, thank you so much for your comment. It really made my day better :')

[@christianschweda2530]

Awesome video, deep thoughts, thanks a lot!

[@KeWDu]

I know I'm super late to this video but I just wanted to give a little Clint love myself. I only found Clint around late 2021 or 2022, through his KZbin videos. I was super big into speedrunning streams att and Mario 64 was surely one of my favoirtes, and his videos would get recommended to me. After a while of putting them off because I assumed that they wouldn't be something I enjoyed, I got covid in January. I was out of work for 11 days and pretty much all I did was binge watch as many Clint videos as I could in that time. Not to mention that that time was a very dark time in my life, and Clint's videos gave me a lot of joy for a good while.

[@kunairuto]

Bro no joke, MM was my first Zelda game when I was like 6, and I only initially experienced OOT by watching my friend and his brother play when I went over to their house. But man, MM is still my favorite Zelda game to this day.

[@wizawhat]

Majora's Mask is an absolute gem in the history of Zelda

[@kylefreeman181]

Man I'm not sure why, but watching this video made me ridiculously nostalgic for those times when I played oot or mm for the first time. Those were some good times. Thanks for the awesome video. Whatever Clint's doing now, I hope he's happy.

[@wizawhat]

You're welcome! I hope he's happy too

[@SwiftIke]

Enjoyed the vid! Honestly kinda reminded me why I started streaming/speedrunning in the first place, to be another person who speedruns without getting super mad when a run dies and I feel like the loss of clint has honestly made me forget that. This video helped me remember and is kinda inspirational.

[@theflyingnone5616]

Ocarina of Time hit really different for me after I read the manga (that I didn't know existed). Absolutely wonderful story and elements that gave voice to the main character. As for the game: the sfx, music, character design and world of Hyrule just build a memorable world that holds up even through nostalgia. Great video!

[@wizawhat]

That's so funny you mention that, I was just talking about how I'd heard about the manga. Haven't read it myself but if I recall correctly Volvagia is like a major villain?? Thank you!

nice vid. love clint and oot, this was pleasant

[@NunuAVIA]

I remember back in 2017 I would watch all of Clint's Streams, I wasn't even a big zelda fan I just thought they were funny. Like the OMG HE DOES meme is probably the best inside joke ever and is still funny to this day. The best way I can describe him is that friend you want to see do well. I want him to become a millionaire, best selling author, get a girlfriend, make something of himself. I miss Clint, but I'm thankful for the memories he has given me so far. Like, I'm going to college soon but I will never outgrow my favorite streamer, the next time he is live you bet I will be there watching just like the rest of you. Much love for this video.

[@wizawhat]

OMG HE DOES was such a good meme LUL

[@thelegendofrosetyler]

Great video! My first Zelda game was TP for the Wii but for some reason OOT just feels like nostalgia to me, despite never owning that console and playing it way later, I even went back later to play the randomizer.

[@Cogstok]

This will seem like a lie but my brother used to be good friends with him back in the day, clint if u see this Sam says hi :D. Also good video :D

[@macthemeh]

I honestly didn't care for Ocarina until I played the 3DS version. There was something about that version that opened my eyes to the appeal. I've been considering replaying both versions and articulating the thoughts in a video

[@wizawhat]

Haven't played the 3DS version but I'm sure its the definitive one by far, that being said I would probably prefer to play the original because I'm comfortable with it and I'm very nostalgic for the polygonal visuals of the N64. I know the 3DS version fixed a lot of the clunky issues the original had

[@wizawhat]

I'm sorry you're going through that. I understand being scared of making content but the best thing you can do is just start! Set and date where you can begin and just learn as much as you can. As far as equipment, the most important aspect to focus on is audio. There's some good USB mics you could look at it if you have the funds. I'd recommend a Blue Snowball you could get for just $50! Otherwise maybe keep watch on Amazon for sales on some other USB mics like an AT2020 USB or Blue Yeti mic? You can do this. I believe in you!
