[@randomclouds4404]

This in Spirit Tracks and Skyward Sword's relationships between Link and Zelda are my favourites in the series due to how much of a presence it is through the whole game.

[@christopher8659]

Right?! its like theyre actual buddies, partners, friends, co-op!

[@a.jthomas6132]

Same goes with Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom since this version of Link and Zelda have the best relationship. Even there are hints/suggestions like Kass’s final song about Zelda love to her knight is what awakened her powers.

[@SpeedStar1642]

The best Zelda in a Zelda game hands down. Not only she's your companion, she proactively helps with the fights ahead of Link. And even caps off with doing paperwork when the work is done. A great break from tradition hands down.

[@LITTLE1994]

This Zelda is definitely smarter than the Ocarina of Time one.

[@Matthew_Murray]

Not only is the up-rez amazing, but dam people really need to play Spirit Tracks you forget just how good of a game it was, felt so much nostalgia watching this

It was the end of that timeline so they can finally rest

[@C-MoD69]

Oof I just thought about this game's 10th anniversary coming this december, and revisited it on an emulator. And gosh dang this game deserves a remake xD this is an awsome game, the story, the way Zelda actually seems like a character and is involved in the story, and it actually makes sense for them to hold hands in the end because in this game they actually went on the journey together.

[@lloydaran]

A remake would be great, because this game has so much potential buried under an avalanche of technical problems, including frequent heavy frame rate drops, but goofy, unreliable and janky controls above all. Controls and ridiculously bad fast travel really hurt my experience significantly. A remake addressing these issues would make it a very satisfying Zelda game, no doubt.

[@Isokatmydydecsf]

This was my first Zelda. Ive been playing it on/off since i was about 6 or 7. Despite that tho I've never actually beaten it I finally did a full playthrough over the past few days, and fuck man, i love this game so much. And this finale is absolutely amazing

But not the same

[@TheKeybladeKeeper]

Breath of the Wild/Age of Calamity/Tears of the Kingdom Zelink will always be my favorite, but this iteration will always be my favorite of kid-Link and kid-Zelda. Plus, Zelda in this game had so much screen time and growth that I felt like her and Link actually developed a close bond. Would love to see this remade someday

[@poenpotzu2865]

What I like most about this ending is not only it makes link and zelda feel like actual equals, but the gods admitting that humanity has the potential to be better off with out them. Contrast this with ocarina of time where the gods do jack shit, zelda just a damsel, etc.

[@hawks-wings]

hey, zelda was a fucking ninja for half of ocarina of time, she wasn’t exactly a damsel in distress, she did get kidnapped at the end but ganondorf was also wielding the triforce of power and didn’t see link as strong or important enough to kidnap. That’s right, he was more wary of Zelda than of Link. and yeah the gods didn’t do shit you’re right on that count (unless you count the spells i guess, as din’s fire, nayru’s love, and farore’s wind all draw power from their namesake goddesses)

[@Delta-lu5kf]

​@@hawks-wingsZelda was a ninja but did jack shit and fuck all throughout the entirety of OoT

[@ash8244]

Alternate reply: game wasn't woke and forced strong females down your throat back then, males are useless Your sick

[@schnek8927]

Damsel > "equals" We need more damsels in modern entertainment. Makes for better and higher quality stories and settings. And no, Link still does most of the work and zelda essentially plays the "mage" archetype, same as she did in ocarina. Even as someone who likes the zelda of ST; you're delusional.

[@christhagod]

@@schnek8927 Yo what do you think abouit the new LoZ game announced today

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

This entire finale including the Dark World and Demon Train fights is perhaps my favorite finale/ending in ANY Zelda game. Majora’s Mask is 2nd for me just because of the looming possibility it was all a dream.

[@jervissk8924]

I always loved this ending for the adult timeline. The old Hyrule made its mark but has been moved on from. Link and Zelda get the chance to move on and keep making things better. The finality of it all...

[@alexp6013]

I like that Gannondorf doesn't come back after the hero of wind kills him. Bellum also felt distinct enough, and I hope LoZ explores what (new) hyrule becomes without these old ties again

[@triforceofcourage100]

You see every other Zelda game (especially you Breath of the Wild) this is how you do a Link Zelda dynamic right. She’s with you the entire game and actually freaking helps instead of just being there in spirit (not sorry). She also in the end she not only fires the bow of light but helps deal the final blow. Why we’ve never seen another Link and Zelda dynamic like this I don’t understand. All concluding in quite possibly the best music in the entire franchise including spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors. This is how it should be it’s the Legend of Zelda yet rarely does she have more than a couple of cameos.

[@Linkanator-xn6og]

Ughhhjjjjj 😭😭😭 I don't understand also Spirit Tracks is soooooo over rated. Makes me wonder maybe since it didn't do good in sales they just never re visited it :(

[@reecegonzales17]

I kept on wearing my recruit’s uniform for the final boss and taking on the Tower of Spirits for the final time to retrieve the Compass of Light. Anyways, well done. The adult timeline is done. This follows The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass.

[@Chris-gx1ei]

I kinda wish to have this Outfit in Tears of the Kingdom

[@Tekstar85]

Damn so nostalgic.

[@luihackerson2871]

I gotta be honest this was fairly balanced final boss i mean the first phase was hard because deflect malladus attacks while zelda takes more than forever to charge her power and apparently zelda and link share a heart bar

[@chrisheyl1962]

If Nintendo remastered this game along with phantom hourglass and bundled them together

[@TheSuperStylishSmurfs]

Oh my god! My eyes! That looks like a total remaster 😄

[@math9172]

Haha I do agree about your description, if we count all the 5 phases this is one of the hardest final boss of the entire franchise (even though it's epic AF). When I did it as a kid I struggled a lot to do it, especially in the part where you have to protect Zelda, but when I finally did it it was the most satisfying thing ever. I replayed the game a few month ago on emulator (with a mouse then), and I finished the final boss fairly quickly and easily. It is really about knowing the right method and techniques. I don't think it means it has been designed5by a monkey tho xD. It is important for a final boss to be challenging, and IMO it is the right amount of both technicality and ingéniosity (meaning understanding the patterns or finding tactics is rewarded, but at its base it is still mechanically demanding, even with the original Stylus). Edit : haha you are quite struggling on the music part but it still worked out. Little tip : their is a metronome you can hear that's beating the bar in the music section. Your turn to play here is every 4 beat, when the note of the metronome changes.

[@Tritailed-Shenanigans]

I know this comment is ten months old, but do you know what emulator you used to play it? I've been wanting to play spirit tracks but I can't find an emulator to play it 😅

Thanks for making this ❤

[@patu8010]

I looked up the ending because the last fight was the last straw for me, I got so fed up with the touch controls and the flute lol

[@EnigmaLazuli]

I love how this game is actually easier on purpose so a younger audience could enjoy it without getting overwhelmed by the difficulty... I mean, even Phantom Hourglass was kinda hard with the concept of the hourglass in the Sea Temple and some levels in it... At least it's how I felt when I used to play PH as a kid, while when I played ST, I finished the game quite easily!

[@PietroSoft]

Had quite a bad time with the temple of the ocean king on PH. And playing as an adult.

[@EnigmaLazuli]

@@PietroSoft I'd hate to know what the kind of CPU would be required for a stable framerate for DesMuMe be like. Even without the 5960X treatment.

[@PietroSoft]

@@randomteen678 Well, it depends. If you want to get something like this video (4 times the original resolution + texture filtering) you will need a strong cpu. If you run the game at native resolution, with the native textures you can go with 2 fast cores.

[@randomteen678]

@@PietroSoft So that's why DesMuMe is so slow on a laptop! Even without touching the graphic settings, putting frameskip to 5, and playing New Super Mario Bros., it still was slow! At least I now know that the laptop's CPU was at fault.

[@PietroSoft]

@@randomteen678 Yeah. DS Emulation on Windows is a mess. You can emulate 3DS way easier than DS. We got stuck with DeSmuME on Windows, and it is so badly optimized, it uses a ton of CPU resources. Because of the high CPU requirements you dont see a lot of vids, like this one. I used for this vid, 8 cores at 4.5ghz, 32GB of RAM, and a GTX 980... and still got slowdowns with these settings.

[@PietroSoft]

I would like to make a new vid of this Zelda. With this quality. But I cant get the speed to a level that I would like with the processor I have right now (i7 5960X 4.5ghz) during the recordings. I need a new processor. Desmume is such a badly optimized emulator.
