    Well i know by accepting the sapphire from Ruto it was an marriage agreement but the question is...did link know what that meant? Does link remember his previous lives? I know Zelda and Gannon does and Malio made it clear when you talk to him in the future he doesn't like link and wanted him to stay away from her... makes it hard to see happening... personally i think link is of afraid of romance but i don't know why

    • @gamenerdlegacy
      @gamenerdlegacy 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Agreed. I go over that in the video. The Moblin spelling doesn't come until the second game. Beyond the Zelda 1 instruction manual, the "Molblin" spelling is also in a Zelda themed children's book called "Molblin's magic spear" and the Legend of Zelda comic Issue 7 also calls them Molbins. The North American Zelda board game uses "Molbrin" from some reason lol.

    Actually there was a trick in ff 12 where you had to get under the tunnels that were used to get to the arena and in a certain position that was close enough to Yazmat to trigger the spells but not to be hit, you set the gambits and them you left them to do everything on their own

    I watched it when it first aired and was happy at the time for having a Zelda cartoon alongside Super Mario Bros. I bought the dvd set from Shout! Factory on release and loved the subtle adult humor that was snuck into it. Now,despite the love/hate reputation that this show gets, I take it for what it is and continue enjoying it no matter what.

    Loved the cartoon as a kid. Loved the games from the beginning of the franchise as a kid to today as a middle-aged man. Got Tears of the Kingdom for my 40th birthday last year and beat it after 5 months of laying 2 days ago. Loved it. :D Hopefully that iconic line makes it into one of the games some day if it wasn’t in one of the handheld games I haven’t played. I heard there is a Zelda movie potentially in the works after the phenomenal success of the Super Mario Bros Movie. Wouldn’t be surprised if the line is referenced in that, if it materializes.

      " Hopefully that iconic line makes it into one of the games some day" I'm writing a fairy tale series which shares some basic plot elements with The Legend of Zelda series (well, there's a plucky hero, a beautiful princess and a dark lord...), and I have my main character say it to the princess at one point. So that's my way of paying homage to the Zelda TV show. The book is full of tongue-in-cheek references to things like Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, so I couldn't _not_ riff on Zelda too. :-)
