The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Episode 27: The Imprisoned

[@psychronia]

You know, Link should've just made Fi explain everything to Groose. Recapping information is pretty much her forte, after all.

[@ToastyTastyPancakes]

Groose was already processing enough information, figuring out what Fi is would have killed his brain or something.

[@willchamberlin7996]

creeper izak that's the point, if Groose goes braindead, Link won't have to deal with his shit anymore

[@prognerite9447]

There is 95% chance that he would experience a cerebral hemorrhage upon meeting Fi.

[@danielcurren2119]

A lot of People are complaining about the imprisoned fight while I am more worried about how Groose would conquer the surface and call it Grooseland...

As long as he doesn't charge an entry fee.

Don’t be scared, a _great_ and _upstanding_ individual such as Groose is completely worthy of owning Grooseland!

God I love Groose. You can tell just how much he really cares about Zelda. He just doesn't know how to save her. Or act in public when thinking about her. He shows his true colors here, a big wuss who just wants someone to be safe. And also be their partner. He's just lonely and jealous. Even though he already has friends.

[@Matchamatcha699]

Saw "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Episode 27: The", saw the thumbnail, and was expecting "The Groose is Loose". Was let down, but not disappointed. How can anybody not be happy when Groose is involved? He's a funny guy, even if he's mean on the SURFACE! In this episode, we even get to see him get a BREATH OF THE WILD!

I always liked the Imprisoned fight, but moreso because of the atmosphere than anything. As far as fighting him three times, heh well where do I even start? In Megaman 3 you fight Break Man 4-5 times. In SMB1 you fight Bowser 8 times. In Super Mario World you fight Reznor four times. In Super Mario Sunshine, you fight the Oil-Spitting Pirahna Fartknockers like 4-5 times. In Banjo-Tooie you fight Klungo three times. In FF6 you fight Ultros 4 times. FF9, Beatrix. FFX, Seymour. Paper Mario 2, Lord Dump. SMRPG, Croco and Belome. Link Between Worlds, Yuga. Cave Story, Balrog. Mother 3, Fassad. Thanks TV Tropes! And I was just skimming really.

[@otterb]

And you had to fight the in the bathroom counter 100s of times

[@whatareyoudoinghere1431]

NintendoCapriSun In Xenoblade you fight Metal Face Four times

[@Raifuujin]

The thing about fighting most bosses in general is that there's a buildup. When you beat a dungeon or level or get to specific points, you expect a boss. In 2D games, repetition could at least be attributed to limitation. Something like SMB isn't about the boss fight at the end, it's the platforming. In later, newer games we expect more. And even most repeated bosses in newer games are supposed to either have a new element that changes up the fight to where you can't just repeat what you did the first time or, in the case of boss rushes, show how much more powerful you've become. The Imprisoned fight barely changes until the third time when you need help, and you're always required to hit the spike three times regardless of how powerful you are. It's not a break in the action, it's a break in the story randomly thrown at you multiple times, and the gap between the second a third is so small that it shouldn't have been necessary. Also, hitting a spike instead of actually feeling like you're doing damage like when you attack most bosses in Zelda doesn't ease any frustration fighting it multiple times might cause.

[@eclecticmuso]

I think the issue many people have with The Imprisoned is not that you fight it multiple times, but that very little changes about the fight or the strategy...

[@Poiman64]

I'm sorry, but whenever I see Groose falling toward Link, I can only ever see the one GIF where it replaces Groose with Zangief and throws Link into a suplex...

[@ColesWorks]

The scene with Groose behind the temple is hands-down the best scene in the game. You get to see the "mighty" Groose crumble against the might of what link deals with all the time, and then some! You also see that he really does care about Zelda, and even a glimpse of some future character development! I love it, and love what Nintendo has done with this character. Also, I love Emile's voice for Groose, so good job!

[@YoshiFawful64]

Chugga, I know you most likely won't see this, but I felt I needed to say it. I got Skyward Sword soon after it came out, but while I loved it, Zelda games don't tend to be too nice to arachnophobes like myself. The Skulltulas were one thing, but the Arachas were always pretty much unbearable. My pace slowed to a crawl for the duration of the Mining Facility, and when it came time to see new areas of the Lanayru Province and face countless Arachas once again, I stopped entirely, and haven't touched the game since. Until now. Thanks to this LP re-sparking my love for the game, and giving me a chance to see that I can handle Arachas better than I used to (and just how unthreatening they really are), I finally went back to Skyward Sword. After years, I left Skipper's Retreat and eventually made my way to the Sandship. While I'm still uncomfortable dealing with them, I can now actually handle myself (at least somewhat) near Arachas. I'll still have to brave through the Sandship, but now I have every confidence I can make it through, and beat the game at long, _long_ last. Thank you so much for re-motivating me to return to this game, Emile. You get ten Gratitude Crystals from me.

[@namingisdifficult408]

YoshiFawful64 that's nice to know. I'm not an arachnophobe myself, but I think it might help to think that you can destroy something you're afraid of.

Oh man, lmao GROOSELAND never sounded so funny until it came from chuggaa's lips. First Imprisoned boss fight and Groose getting dressed down by SPOILER: Granny Impa. Nice.

[@laughing00hyena]

I actually like the harp. Moving back and forth in motion and tempo with objects around you is therapeutic in a way, and the music is beautiful. Yes, you can't make your own music, but I don't think that takes away from the instrument in game. Then again, I'm also the weirdo who liked the flute in Spirit Tracks, so who knows

[@SuperShesh2]

laughing00hyena I liked the spirit tracks instrument too, for everything but the final melodies, the sand and with Zelda since they get very strict with those ones. It's actually quite fun to use if you don't have something making it hard to use the mic. And same with the harp. Timing is just as much a thing in music as making your own tunes.

[@prexot2341]

I didn't like the harp, but I probably would have liked the Spirit Flute if the mic on my 3DS actually worked consistently

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Honestly, it looks way more like a lyre than a harp. O_O

Show of hands, who else CAN'T take The Imprisoned seriously? I mean, they play it off like it is some kind of nightmare-inducing monster, but all I see is a giant avocado with teeth. I guess they were trying to go for some kind of demonic dinosaur/land-shark design, but it's just silly.

[@Ruzkiel]

While I don't quite see the avocado, I do see the anus throat during his roars.

[@Biffbifflin]

Actually, the Imprisoned used to really scare me in the cutscenes when I was younger, but once I actually started fighting it, it lost it's effect

[@raphaelpapillon5335]

That avocado has a butthole in its mouth.

[@Iinneus]

The wiggly waddle he does up the spiral of the Sealed Grounds and the fact that he doesn't have arms to start off with and the fact that the toes are, let's be honest, _adorable and also wiggly_, makes it hard to take it seriously! I mean, come on, I can imagine this thing having a Muppet character's voice. (Which one? *All of them.*) It's also too round! It's weird, this game has some fantastic designs; I love Ghirahim and I think Moldarach looks like a very threatening giant scorpion (and there's so much more done well), but The Imprisoned, man... Ugh.

[@Iinneus]

My first thought was actually Animal's "raa raa raaa ra!", until I realized that yes, I could also totally hear voices like Kermit coming from this guy.

[@ScourgeIsBestVillain]

1:41 I just LOVE this entire scene with Groose. I actually love Groose. Groose first seeing the surface is beautiful. "WHAT IS THAT THING?!?" *Points to a Goron just minding his own business...* Also, Links face when he sees Groose falling after him is just *golden.* And very meme-able too! *WHERE AM I?!?* But, the part that *I* like most, is this: 2:59

[@FooBarBash]

This boss looks cool, and I love the way it was foreshadowed, but... to me, it seems really strange in execution. From it's giant head and snapping teeth, I assumed it was going to be some kind of serpent or wyrm, but instead it's bipedal and has giant toes like Barney the Dinosaur. It made more sense when it was slithering along the ground.

[@bexiftw]

"TINY birds?!" That cutscene is like my favourite in the whole game, I couldn't stop laughing. Oh, Groose 😂 We do love you.

[@KassiteriteVT]

The scene where Groose tackles Link while he's skydiving to the surface is my most favorite scene in all of Skyward Sword. I find it so funny how Link looks up and sees Groose screaming behind him. Also, I never knew that you could actually jump on top of the Imprisoned and hit the spike into his head that way. I always went for the toes, which led to many lost hearts due to the shockwaves coming from his feet.

[@KaleGraybill-gj9nr]

Honestly the way you play the harp makes sense. Link just isn't going to magically osmose the knowledge of harp playing into his mind, so the best he could do is sliding up and down.

It's honestly for the better. His ego mostly stays but he becomes such an awesome character by the end of the game. I like it, and his theme is pretty good.

[@ZakTheFallen]

Don't be. He started off the game by trying to kill Link by kidnapping the only companion that can save him if he falls off of the island. As far as we know, he's treated the main character like crap for his entire life. I can't feel sorry if Groose has a horrible time, he kind of deserves it.

[@ender11king]

But he is groose he has a awesome theme and helps link in his adventure even in later imprison fights! You might not think he redeemed himself but the other character sure treat him better once the game is over

[@Kaempfdog]

Honestly the harp isn't bad to me. I like it a lot. You may not PLAY it like some other instruments but it brings out the best songs in the game and it's used rhythmically rather than melodically which is actually a kinda neat idea. Plus those goddess walls saved my ass late game

Is it weird that I enjoy walking around and just strumming the harp at completely random moments? Personally, I never found the Imprisoned that bad.

One of the first things I've come to notice by this point in the game is how the symbols of the three songs of Nayru are all over; the crescents of the Song of Echoes, the lines of the Song of Waves and of course reminding billions of the Zora Sapphire, the symbol for the all powerful Song of Ages. For me, Oracle of Ages was hands down my favorite Gameboy entry for the Zelda series, and tied with Twilight Princess as my favorite of them all, so to see these markings, well... I feel a little sad not to see the four symbols of the Seasons too, since those games were a pair. Just wanted to toss that out.

[@ChaosContrl]

You might not see this comment, but here are three things worth reading: 1) At the place where you find the Dusk Relics (won't spoil it for other people), just get yourself caught to respawn the Relics again, so you can get the 13 you need to upgrade everything, since you keep whatever you got between the "resets". 2) You forgot a Big Treasure Chest in the Lightning Generator room in Lanayru. You get a rare treasure, or a Goddess Plume from it. 3) You'll need 5 Monster Horns as well to upgrade a specific item.

[@CaelanGames]

Well Chuggaa, if you enjoy fighting the Imprisoned by jumping from an upper ledge to land on top, boy do I have a treat for you. In the center of the pit at the very bottom where the Imprisoned first emerges is a giant up draft. Using sends you way into the air and puts Link into a skydive. Doing this lets you simply direct yourself on top of the boss and yes, even FACEPLANTING into him. I love doing it this way and even if it becomes a bit ineffective later into the fight because it can become a bigger run to get to the updraft, I still find it the most fun and satisfying way to fight the Imprisoned.

[@TheMetalBlade5]

Funnily enough when I first fought the imprisoned I used the strategy of jumping onto its head and never thought about attacking the toes

[@TheMetalBlade5]

I don't know why I never thought to attack the toes on my first playthrough, maybe I thought jumping on the head was more obvious for some reason

[@spectral5939]

That's what the imprisoned reminded me of! Still would make a poor excuse for a monster in that game.

[@hugo12345811]

Something I never noticed before - at 20:25, right when the last hit is dealt to The Imprisoned and he throws Link off, Link has an animation where he wobbles and tries to keep his balance. And that's not the "normal" way to kill the boss, so they specifically put that animation in there for an alternate method. I love Nintendo polish.

[@kingwest171]

Personally, I like the harp. Though I can understand where you're coming from when you say you don't like it.

[@Flaminstarwarsguy851]

11:23 That item is *not* a harp. It is actually a lyre. The strings of a harp connect directly to the base of the instrument while the strings of a lyre would instead connect to a bridge piece that joins the two ends together. Also, lyres tend to be light instruments that can be carried in one's hands and are usually played while standing while harps are large, stand on the floor, and are played while the musician is in a seated position. I did look this up but correct me if I'm wrong. I just felt like pointing that out.

[@newbiezinc4338]

I'm sorry Chugga, but you couldn't be more wrong about the harp (though it's technically a lyre). First of all, this instrument has all its strings set to fixed notes, making it extremely uncapable of playing any flexible stuff--- unless it is a magical lyre like Apollo's lyre (or some other Greek God's lyre). This means that it wouldn't be practical for Nintendo to set the instrument to buttons, because how are you going to do that? Each button for an individual chord? That's not practical at all. Second, this instrument IS a magical instrument. Try playing it at all different locations with different background music, you will find that it automatically plays in synch with all of them--- dungeons, caves, battle music--- and by doing so you can hear some coolest chords from Zelda. Oh, you can even play the harp during the staff roll. SS harp's power of accompanying is too magical, and too underappreciated by many fans... In my opinion it makes Skyward Sword one of the most musical game in the series. Though it would be great if we could play songs any time we want, like the Ballad of Goodess... hopefully in HD?

Ahhh... I love the music at the end of the video.

[@SwagMonster-bp4gl]

SlyFox2235 What is the song called?

[@TheIntimateAvenger]

Groose is amazing! I'm glad we finally got some scenes with him! I love Groose so much.

[@rikithelegendaryheropon8135]

It's everyone's favorite boss fight *Halfhearted Yaying"

[@Absmenace]

Riki The Legendary Heropon WOOOHOOOO ( sarcastic )

[@someonessidechannel1485]

Riki The Legendary Heropon wooooooo...

[@shirt9862]

Riki! haven't seen you in a while

[@rikithelegendaryheropon8135]

Shirt Shirt! Haven't worn you in a while (jk). Riki been very busy with Oka

[@lepcusmagna860]

Riki The Legendary Heropon Hello Riki you saved the universe and also, *Clip of children hooraying*

[@3rdmonocle789]

18:16 WWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTT? You can do this strategy instead of slashing at his toes? This could have saved me so much time back then. Once again, Chugga has revealed something in this game that I did not know you could do. Many thanx Chuggaconroy. :)

[@colonelwepler8830]

6:27 Eggman?! What are you doing here in Grooseland?

[@mrkrabz5981]

Its time to stop

[@BlizzardSiya16]

Best intro I've seen in a while. I'd watch that game show. Also, props to Chuggaa for once again teaching me something new about a game I've played. I'm going to have to try that method of attacking the imprisoned.

[@unclegrimsley839]

2:00 you missed a chance to say "doh I missed."

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

I wasn't the only one who thought that, then!

[@quillion3rdoption]

He doesn't like that meme anymore.

[@ultamaflare]

I don't see this mentioned often enough but I have to love groose as this moment. Just that look of realization he has seeing you walk away after the first imprisoned fight...He knows now he is never truly going to be the hero and I have to respect that

[@MarioBrosFan]

Motion controls on harps (or lyres) are bad... but not quite as bad as they are on free-falling. Those who played a certain minigame in The Sky know exactly what I'm talking about...

[@captshavers]

I love the piece of music that was playing at the end of the video, its so simple, yet sooo pretty

[@KillaLombax]

There is a reason I don't like the Imprisoned. It's not that the gimmick of the battle sucks, it's the repetetiveness of the boss that annoys me. Sure it gets more abilities, but you shouldn't have to face the same boss 3 times in a game with the same goal in mind.

[@littleelise4109]

Man this is my absolutely all time favourite scene in this whole LP. I don't know why but I love it. Probably that the fact that Groose is gonna become more useful in the story.

[@emastercool500]

i always knew the droppin gon the head tactic was a thing, but when i did it more then once, the boss just shook me off, so i though the ai learnt that you could do that, and made you do outher ways of fighting it. aprrenly i was wrong... that or it happens in another fight.

[@ceaser1026]

he does that for the second and third fights unless you stun him with the groosinator I suggest you go for the toes until you see that option appear

[@rk9island]

Wow.. The Imprison's scales are really beautiful. Also, that lighting effect on them when The Imprisoned is defeated

[@jjsoupsworth]

groose is my spirit animal

[@gurogoth]

Really? Mine is Ghirahim

[@Techhunter_Talon]

Groose's mind getting blown sky high upon first seeing the surface is complete comedy gold. XD

[@eclispe_splash8133]

Hi everyone in the comment section!

Greetings fellow chuga fans.

[@PurpleTheta]

Clicking on 1:46 over and over and over again has to be one of the greatest things in the history of Zelda.

[@thygamerguy]

GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!

[@michaelaburns734]

Yes Phil!

[@Cuprite1024]

*1:41* This whole moment is just beautiful. Especially Link's face! XD

[@taylormurphy8002]

Groose for president 2020

[@sizzle5775]

Taylor Murphy Make Grooseland great again!

[@taylormurphy8002]

Mr. Sizzle the imprisoned is actually just someone that wants to vote for groose

[@shadic4566]

A better choice than who we have at the moment.

[@elizabethkblanco4620]

I'll actually vote for him.

[@robonerd125]

Every like on the original poster's comment is one vote for Groose...

[@Milo-zw4oo]

If I may add... The area in the center where the sealing spike was actually has a giant updraft that launches you into the air and allows your to drop basically anywhere in the map. It's helpful in the third fight when he flies, and It's also helpful when you just want to get onto his head without dealing with being in the right position.

[@solidskullz5736]

I FRICKEN CALLED IT! I KNEW HE WOULD CALL IT GROOSELAND!

[@Techhunter_Talon]

Just wait for what he comes up next for the name of something. I'm sure you'll quite enjoy it. ;)

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

Shadow Mantis And it is why Groose deserves his own game.

[@xSakurax333]

Man, I love the song that plays at the end. One of my favorite songs in the game.

[@VinnyAdventures]

LESS THAN A DAY, GUYS! Breath of the Wild is almost here!!! REJOICE! :D

[@barielmw5532]

yes IM SO EXITEED

[@eonbree8593]

its a undescribable game its so good

[@AaronTheBlackDragon]

Poor Groose, he´s been through so much and now that. This is probably the point where I started liking him even more.

[@taylormorris9595]

I feel the exact same way about the Harp. I had wanted a Harp since my Ocarina of Time days when Sheik played it to teach us the warp songs, and you have no idea how excited I was when Zelda had given us the harp as our main instrument in the game. I was so disappointed when I saw how you played it. The songs have no overworld use outside opening the doors to the Silent Realms and for near end-game padding, and each of the songs have a one time use, so none of the songs (outside of the Ballad of the Goddess) are committed to memory (which is sad since each of the songs sound pretty) and I find funny the Harp feels more like conducting then the Wind Waker (an actual conducting baton) does.

[@tommyblack6135]

I legitimately never knew this method of fighting the Imprisoned existed. I thought I knew everything about Skyward Sword, but Emile actually taught me something...my hats off to you. That said, the Imprisoned is still the one thing in a Zelda that legitimately creeps me out.

[@ianrennebohm8294]

Poor Groose...

[@funhow123]

I swear that cutscene where groose comes in is like the best thing ever! Also the imprisoned seems like a cuddly monster rather then like a demon... it’s so big!

[@reissryhas]

Even with the wind geysers, I still don't like the imprisoned fights. Too damn repetitive and more often than not, a geyser just isn't really in the right place. I get how you like them them, but I kinda don't. I do like how Groose helps out later, however.

[@NetMoverSitan]

That loftwing is red, red ones go faster! | 1:39 - Groose Tannen crashes in... | 10:12 - Be thankful that he's not a vindictive bloke, as he has a sword and he could use it. | 12:36 - Where's Simon Cowell when you need him?! | 14:37 - Let me guess, F*** Konami have released a new pachinko machine? | 15:57 - A bit late with them this episode, Human Sans? | 16:25 - It's a mutant Slog from the Oddworld games! | 23:00 - Yeah, that's right, Groose Tannen, YOU SUCK!

[@clementnelson8193]

Last time I was this early, I was slightly less exited for Zelda Breath of the Wild. this, of course, is a lie

[@Nekomimixx]

excited* Sorry, I had to. .>

[@zacjacob4349]

The way groose looked at the end of the episode, that face of "Yeah, the lady's right. I'm not going to be the one to save Zelda" kinda made me sad for him.

[@Kagineko]

I absolutely fucking despise characters like Groose, that alone is enough to make me not want to play the game Edit after response flood: I dislike the "haha I'm better than you" characters, but if you guys say he gets better, I'll give him a chance

[@Absmenace]

Kagineko he gets better and a lot nicer later on in the game though

[@tds1428]

Kagineko Groose is fucking amazing

[@jacobhunter6891]

Groose is freakin awesome! What'r you talkin' about?

[@hyperventalated]

Kagineko Id give him a chance before you hate him so much...

[@diwhyorayumishoko5547]

Kagineko He is way better later

[@someguycalledgoober155]

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawr! What are you doing Misses Old lady?" "I'm just protecting the temple.. from you..."
