Twilight's Shadow - Midna's Farewell

[@holyfool5605]

I’ve personally only played Skyward Sword, and still never managed to finish it. I feel threatened by LoZ’s expansiveness and ongoing storylines, alongside the growing lore and not-so-affordable games and consoles you need to play said series. But even mentioning the game to someone is an exciting experience, and seeing people collaborate and create their own vision based off the series is an amazing and immersive experience, more-so than just playing the games themselves. I love what you’re doing, and I’m thankful you’re doing it, because a thing that brings people together like LoZ only ever comes once in a lifetime, and it’s amazing that I’m seeing people make use of such a gift. Your “Shadow” videos are great, lovely even, and I’m glad I got to see them.

[@MrGnastygnate]

[@zr_1234]

Skyward Sword is by far one of the worst 3D Zelda games.

[@MagicRatty]

MrGnastygnate it is hard for me i recently started playing it i finished Botw and now am on a link to the past

That cut to the heroes shade back in the era of the hero of time was heart breaking

[@skent4857]

Kizzon Yes that was pure genius. So emotional

[@hoo7797]

He was looking at him at that moment and related his grief to Twilight Link. It must've been hard to Time Link too. Maybe he also cried.

[@Thoralmir]

The Hero of the Skies had to say farewell to his sword spirit Fi. The Hero of Time had to say farewell to his fairy Navi. The Hero of the Winds had to say farewell to the King of Red Lions. The Hero of Twilight had to say farewell to his companion Midna. The Legendary Hero had to watch an entire island of people vanish as if they never were, and a close friend turn into a seagull. And I think the Hero of the Minnish had to say goodbye to his goofy-looking bird hat.

[@lilymau]

Damn I didn't expect that flashback of Navi and the Hero's shade. So heartbreaking😭 Don't be too critical with yourself MajorLink,your work is truly amazing and always manages to move my heart. It may not be perfect in your eyes,but it does convey the emotions and that's what matters most in all forms of art.

[@rmc_hyde]

Same! It caught me so off guard damn... got me in my feels so quick. This scene was amazing, definitely more moving than the original. The game could've been 100x better if the emotion was conveyed this way consistently throughout the story, and they actually told us what the connections to other titles were instead of making us have to go look for the info outside of the games.

The hero of the wild suffered a sea of deaths and horrors. The hero of winds departed for the unknown away from his home and family The hero of new Hyrule leaved Lourule never to visit it again The hero of legend watch as he destroyed an entire island to save himself and a deity The hero of the minish had to say goodbye to Eslo after his journey was completed The hero of twilight watch as Midna seperated them forever The hero of time watch as time itself flows around him, giving him tragedy after tragedy A hero does not live an easy life, they must suffer so others can be free of their burdens

[@asteroid5612]

The fact that she didnt said nothing to link about her feelings to him its just heart breaking

[@FoAmY99]

This was one of the most heartbreaking moments in all of Zelda. And you found a way to make it even more. The Hero of Time lost his closest companion, and went through hell to find her, only to fail. The Hero of Twilight, suffered the same loss, only he knew exactly where she was, with the extra twist of the knife being, that no matter what he did, he would never see her again. The Hero of Time died with his regrets, but he had hope. The Hero of Twilight, was not even given the luxury of hope, that he would see the Twilight Princess once more.

[@EdelgardvonHresvelg8663]

the thing with the hero of time is i think he knew deep down that navi was dead bf he died i really do so he gave him self false hope knowing it was false so the question is whats worse having false hope knowing that hope is undoubtly false or having no hope at all

Maybe they won't let you make an actual movie because Nintendo knows anyone in the theater that went would die of true heart break at the end. Right in the feels bro. That's how good it was...

[@oliveguy3114]

I can understand wanting the jarring feeling of the spear suddenly stabbing the mirror, but I miss the tear shattering it. It’s a lot more mystical, and it really shows her true feelings. Still, great video as always. I love your work!

[@ScourgeBladeZelda]

I love the flashback of The Hero's Shade with Navi. Nice touch and a great re-imagining of an already beautiful ending. well done! Looking forward to your next project!

[@MalcolmMacgregor]

That's the sad, twisted curse of a true hero. Give everything you have to save everyone, only to lose that which matters most to you in the end. Being a hero is as much a gift as it is a curse for the Chosen One bloodline in the Zelda series. Every single Link that's given their all to save Hyrule deserves better. Beautiful video, by the way. Loved that little nod to OOT. Very nice touch.

[@JustLukeeee]

Gotta say, the separation hits hard. Midna using her powers to shatter the mirror shows that she has the best interests for the Twilight Kingdom and Hyrule. The overlap of Navi leaving the Hero of Time only makes this scene more hurtful. Great story.
