15:48 Maybe I’m reading into it too much, but this scene is why I love the addition of the dialogue options. Link may have said that he’s here to return the ocarina, but the dialogue options show us what he’s thinking in his head. It shows us all he truly wants is his friend back. TLDR: The addition of dialogue options does a surprisingly well job at fleshing out Link’s character.

[@dayshallcomeagain]

It's honestly really clever writing if you think about it.

[@herosshade7887]

[@LilacMonarch]

It shows you can have dialog options that add to the story while still having it linear. It doesn't matter which one you pick, the story will always move in the same direction eventually, but it can add so much character to the player character (Link in this case).

Same...was not ready for that at all, but it felt really great since none of the other end-game cut-scenes in the actual Zelda games felt as satisfying. Idk why but Nintendo has kept the relationship between Link and Zelda really low-key as just friends for the most part, and that kinda bothered me...It wasn't until BoTW that we really got to see that she actually really cares for him beyond that, but she was mostly either emotionally distant, or really mean to him throughout their time together until he saves her from the Yiga clan ambush.

[@lucasmaloneywordsmith8661]

To me, it feels like a holdover from the original pair of Hylia the goddess and her chosen mortal hero. Mortal and deity can never really be together beyond a bond of loyalty and trust, and whatever curse that Demise put on Hylia and her hero feels like it’s anchoring each of them in their respective roles in perpetuity.

I love Link's hesitancy at 15:22, even though they're childhood friends, he is still unsure if he is actually allowed to hug Zelda in return as she is the Princess of Hyrule

[@andyramirez4293]

I took it more as just surprise on his part. Remember this link has been through some shit especially imagine the toll his mental state took in termina. He’s always been on guard shit maybe on the edge so when she warmly embraced him he was taken off guard and gave in to something he hasn’t felt in a long time. He become vulnerable which is probably hard to do as he’s had so much on his shoulders

[@hylianlegends]

@@andyramirez4293 agreed. Dude probably hasn't been hugged in a long time.

[@mr.hawklingiii8739]

Gotta agree guys, when he hugs her back you can see him FINALLY relax. He realizes in that moment he is safe with someone who loves and cares for him

[@dominicbonogofski]

I'd prefer to think it's a bit of both. He may be well-respected by the Royal Family of Hyrule, but he is still so loyal and respectful towards the Royal Family that he is a bit hesitant to show any affection back towards the princess. He also isn't shown to ever have any love interests, so that probably plays a huge role. But he also suffers from being 7 years older mentally than he actually is, and has been through a lot of shit. He has saved two separate lands, yet all but a select few people (namely, Skull Kid, Tatl, Navi if she still exists, Tael, and the Happy Mask Salesman), and each of them only knows that Link saved ONE world. Navi is the only one who knew that Link saved Hyrule in the future, and Tatl, Tael, Skull Kid, and the Happy Mask Salesman are the only ones who are aware of Link's journey to save Termina. So he's pretty much always on guard just in case he ends up having to save the world again.

Even though Link has reunited with Zelda here, it has to be incredibly bittersweet for him, seeing as the Zelda he had grown to know doesn't actually exist in his timeline. To stare into her eyes and realize that although she has the same face, the same voice, the same smile, ultimately she's not the Zelda he knows. A cruel joke, taunting Link with a reality he will never have.

[@Louie7241]

That's what makes this powerful. That emotional element to it. The added flashbacks a reminder of that. The young link from this timeline is lost. Navy is gone. A Zelda he doesn't know. A Hyrule he doesn't know. No real place to call home. Then to hold onto those memories of the other timeline. The bonds he had in that timeline. He had a sense of purpose in that timeline. Here has just been drifting looking for a friend.

[@marclink0]

Although the young Zelda in front of him would never fully become the Zelda he knew, she still has the same heart. That heart is the reason she gave Link a chance to live his childhood by sending him back in time at the end of the timeline. This is a huge sacrifice for this Zelda, since in her timeline, Link won't exist anymore. From that, Link knows something about the current Zelda that she herself doesn't know. About something she'll never do, but that she's willing to do given the circumstances. I like to think this is the reason we see Link thanking her before leaving for Termina.

One thing I love is that Link still has a hard time saying how he feels. Whenever dialogue comes up for his cue, it always says he wants to find his friend, which is Navi. Still though, he feels that his duty comes first. It’s so sad...

[@nathanz6265]

Only ganon would dare to give this a thumbs down. I'm so stoked. Feels like a tv show approved by nintendo and made with the love of Star Wars: The Clone Wars tv show.

[@herosshadetimelink5679]

Something I've noticed about this, is that in the game before Link meets Zelda, Link meets Malon First, and in this episode before he goes to the castle to see Zelda, he sees Malon first again, it's a very good detail, as if Link and Malon were destined for each other , very good work MajorLink

[@christiescorner8472]

If Ocarina of Time was a movie, this would be the movie. You actually did a better job than Hollywood ever could. You have both passion and talent. I loved this episode! I also loved the blue uniforms on some of the knights. It is a bit reminiscent of the blue tunics for Breath of the Wild. Bringing in Malon, the memory of him leaving for Termina, the helmet from Twilight Princess, and seeing Sheik were all just goosebump moments. Thank you for all your hard work! It’s beautiful!

Very impressive, connecting the ending of Majora’s Mask to the Hylian-Gerudo War. This animation is incredible! The way in which you set up things that we see in the future from these events, such as this same Link wearing the armor he does (as a ghost-skeleton) in Twilight Princess, the aforementioned Hylian-Gerudo War that resulted in Ganondorf’s imprisonment and failed execution, was very well-thought-out. Great work!

15:02 now THAT is some A+ cinematography. Easily my favorite scene so far. Well done, these episodes are amazing so far =)

[@rynnmets7607]

It is incredibly rare to find such talent as this. You and your team has made something so beautiful! Its hard to express with words how moving and touching this short animated show is. The way you portray the characters before, during and after Link pulled the Maser Sword. To them, no time has passed, but to Link, he lived through the future. Then you show his memories of his time in Termina. Even with the games as a baseline for the character, we see how the conflict has been on each person. Its so beautiful. I WANT MORE!!

History hates a Paradox. Even though Link changed history, there are bound to still be events that will still happen regardless of Link’s interference. And for every gain that Link achieved from those changes, there’s bound to be an equal cost in losses. It’s only now after 7 years that Link has to live with those costs one by one through experience.

This isn't official. This isn't canon. There's basically nothing to support this. But holy damn, is it good! This is almost exactly how I've pictured it myself, only this has better animation (in my mind it's always been N64 graphics). This whole episode was amazing. Zelda and Link's farewell as kids was really sad, summoning tears to my eyes and sadness to my heart, but then the reunion just said "fuck that!" and destroyed me. When Zelda leapt into Link's arms, I basically exploded into a mess of tears and snot and happiness. I love it. Watching this makes me so happy I can't explain it. Can't wait for the next episode! PS: This SHOULD be canon. Because this is what we, the fans, want and need. We need closure, and this is it.

“Thankfully, Ganondorf does not know the keys to entering the Sacred Realm” *2 minutes later* So that was a fucking lie.

[@charofheart37]

[@ulickeldroma1]

This is the one criticism I have about the video, everything else is wonderful. Ganondorf clearly does know the keys to entering the sacred realm and they should know that. He specifically told the guardians of the races he wanted the spiritual stones and went after the Ocarina of Time. The Great Deku Tree tells Link that Ganondorf wanted the spiritual stone.

[@charofheart37]

@@ulickeldroma1 Makes me wonder of it was because the timeline was returned when Link was done as a child and Ganondorf never went to the other temples that they believe that. Remember, Gabon came about when young Link placed the stones and the Sword sealed his spirit in the Sacred Realm. Ganondorf got access by Link and then later by other people. He never had the stones or found them, the realm was opened by others and he or his followers got into the realm by other means. The followers repeated resurrected the malformed presence of Ganon the demon not always the body of Ganondorf because another male from the Gerudo also becomes a Ganon by other means. Then the Twilight Princess says the Sacred Mirror was used to access her world and used against the world of Princess Zelda. So to me seems the meaning is that Ganondorf never accessed the realm without help from others. So maybe Zelda assumes Gabon doesn't know how to access the stones and song and in Windwaker Zelda get possessed and Ganon the demon has to be exorcised from Zelda before he can throw himself into the Sacred realm but his follower lets their body be used to keep that evil spirit from being banished. Not sure but that's what I was thinking as the reason Zelda says this. 😊💯👍💗

That's all I know, the demon itself tries to come back when the seals break because it is not just purposed to take over Hyrule and has no other mind, like Calamity Ganon. I know I am missing some in between like the time Link got spilt into four of the four seasons.

[@absolembum6399]

What can I say? The animation, the story, everything is perfectly done, from the complete reimaginations of briefly seen scenes like how Zelda taught Link the Song of Time as seen as a flashback from Majora's Mask, to the little details that ties everything in all the games from Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess, like the design of the royal guards, the way Sheik taught Link to present his weapon, how Impa gave Link his Hero gear before he left Hyrule to Termina... ... And with every bit of detail as diligently respected as ever, like the Bowser pin on Malon, the Super Mario background behind the window of Hyrule Garden... I cannot see it as something else as the canon following of events that followed Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. I will eagerly wait the next episodes, and probably rewatch all of them again and again! A big thank you, and congratulations of all of you combined efforts, from the writing, to the scoring, to the animations, it was made with both talent and passion and it really shows!
